Weekend Evening

                       After the last bell, I hurriedly changed my classroom shoe, took my sport kit and helmet and rushed towards the exit door, a big wooden door. The clear blue sky, sun’s brilliance on the facade, the mellow blow of summer wind, lingers my hair all through my ride home from the school over the silent freeway road in the cycle lane. I rushed into Universities Guest House and parked my cycle in my favourite spot and ring into our apartment’s bell where I used to be welcomed warmly by my tiny little brother, Aris, who was just 12 months, who would gesture me with cuteness.

                      I then dumped my backpack in a corner and sat in front of the TV with some peanut butter and cucumber. That day, we took the road to Opera’s back house park. I rode faster to the park and used to be happy over myself for making at first place, because that way Aris used to get little jealous as my mom used to pamper him for not reaching there at first. The sky scraping trees, light green bushes, small pathways and few statues surrounded by seasonal flower of color pink, yellow, orange, red, white and purple, the park. At the end of the park there stood an old giant tree, all alone in between the meadow, where many passer-by or lovers had their names craved on its bark. As mom and Aris used to rest on the wooden benches, I lied down my cycle and helmet in a corner and had some alone time lying under the tree gazing at the clear blue sky, wanting to fly like the hawk spreading its wings underneath the clouds, having a clear view of the city. The smell of the green grass reminded me of my gardening class with my homeroom teacher, where I stood confusingly with an old rugged apron, pale boots which were dumped in a corner near the back store, holding supply cart with my dirty gloves in middle of the garden working as a part of my task. 

                       I could hear Aris getting bored through his whining. I took my cycle and drove towards back-way to the supermarket to shop for the weekend where I stopped on my usual favourite “Brat-Wurst” stand in the train station few minutes away where I used to be taken aback by it’s mouth-watering smell, which used to entangle from a distant. 

                      On our way back home after shopping, we made our weekends plan, here and there, creating more memories, sweet memories with my family.

The Badge

                   After an exhausting week at college, I was making a to-do-list for the weekend. Room cleaning always comes first in my list because I always get a reminder from Papa to get it cleaned up so I always keep Saturday morning hours as a “DO NOT DISTURB , MY ROOM IS UNDER CLEAN-UP”. After sending good morning snaps and checking news feed, I was listening to upbeat music to get positive and happy energy and got ready with the cleaning essentials.                      While keeping the books in order from my messy study table into the book rack, I got my eye on a dusty box which was lying in a corner of that rack. With curiosity, I opened the box. There were few badges which I collected since middle school; badges for being both selected and elected as the monitor of my class. I gently wiped away the dust fr...

Smile, an everlasting smile

At the end of the day, after your busy schedule, you probably return home exhausted. Maybe it is because you are so much occupied with the assignments and project works that you hardly any have time to think about things you love.

My cousins are SUPERHERO

“Rapacha.”            She came running towards the entrance gate of the venue. It was our relatives birthday party. I took my cousin sister, Naima along with me as I was staying over her house from the past few days.            As soon as we saw each other, we made one of those excited scream, hugging each other. Before few days my cousin showed up at my college, where I introduced her with Toshila, another cousin sister. I was happy to see three of us together on the party that evening, it was indeed a hectic week with tests and exams coming near and the entire struggle at college. I must say, it was like escaping life from fear, stress, and every bad thing that was happening. I still remember searching for you at college after seeing the student’s name list. I was not sure if we were cousins but I was excited to have someone from same cultural background. And later, I came to ...
