What a Dog Named Snow Taught Me About Loyalty

Two Dogs, One Heart, and a Choice That Changed Everything I received a Shih Tzu puppy as a birthday gift from my brother. Initially, my parents couldn’t accept her due to a family situation at home, but once I finally brought her in, everything changed. They instantly fell in love with her, treated her like a baby, and named her Honey . This has always been a pattern in my life. I am truly a pet lover;  I’ve raised rabbits, fish, and birds before. At first, my family never agrees, but over time, they end up caring for them even more than I do. This time was no different. However, owning a Husky had always been my dream. A couple of months later, when one of my friends offered me a Husky pup, I didn’t plan or hesitate; I brought him and named him Snow . Initially, I couldn’t keep him at my house, so I arranged a temporary place at a friend’s home. Later, due to unavoidable circumstances, I had to bring Snow home. That’s when the real challenge began. Our house was small, and Honey...

THE LOCKDOWN LOVE STORY

The Lockdown & Little Raha                The city of Bangalore, with its perpetually green canopy and the restless hum of innovation, was the unlikely matchmaker for Satish and Tarannum. Satish, sharp and organized, hailed from Tamil Nadu, arriving for his engineering degree. Tarannum, expressive and artistic, flew in from Mumbai to pursue design. They met in the chaos of a college orientation, two disparate souls instantly drawn together by shared nervousness and a common, ambitious future. Their love story was written in coffee stains at 2 AM study sessions, shared Lalbagh strolls, and countless rides on a sputtering scooter through the city’s traffic. Post-graduation, life shifted into professional gear. Satish landed a coveted role at a major tech firm in Whitefield, while Tarannum joined a dynamic design agency near Indiranagar. The miles, though short, were taxing. Finally, they took the leap, pooling their savings for a charming, sun-d...

THE LOCKDOWN - LOVE

             THE LOCKDOWN LOVE - RAHA Satish, sharp lines and spreadsheet minds, arrived in Bangalore from Tamil Nadu with a detailed plan for his engineering degree. Tarannum, all fluid color palettes and boundless curiosity, landed from Mumbai ready to challenge any structure her design course threw at her. They met not in a lab or a studio, but under the blazing sun of the orientation tent, their name tags sticking to their chests like foreign labels. She smiled at his meticulously organized binder; he was fascinated by the charcoal smudges on her thumb. Their love was built on the quiet grind of shared study sessions—his logic untangling her complex assignments, her creativity inspiring him to look beyond the parameters. Bangalore became the backdrop: late-night dosa runs, the scent of jasmine and earth after rain in Lalbagh, and Satish teaching  Tarannum  how to navigate the city’s winding streets on his slightly rusty scooter. Each ride...

THE JOKE THAT BECAME A GOODBYE

  THE JOKE THAT BECAME A GOODBYE It all began in the office, where a boy met a girl who would soon become the closest friend he had ever expected.  Their bond grew effortlessly, shared lunches, endless conversations, and video calls that stretched late into the night. They understood each other in ways no one else did. Even when she had to resign from the job, nothing changed. If anything, their connection deepened. They continued talking for hours, laughing, sharing their days, and leaning on each other through everything. He cared for her like family, sometimes more than he realized. One day, in a moment of playful mischief, he decided to tease her. “I think I love you,” he said, expecting her to laugh it off, expecting it to be just another inside joke. But she didn’t laugh. She froze, confused, unsure how to respond. Slowly, she began avoiding him, not because she was angry, but because she didn’t know what his words truly meant. He didn’t take her reaction seriously at...

A HEART THAT TRULY LOVES NEVER LETS GO, EVEN WHEN LIFE DOES

                  A HEART THAT TRULY LOVES NEVER LETS GO, EVEN WHEN LIFE DOES It all begins as below.  The morning mist clung to the small cemetery like a fragile veil, muting the world into quiet grays and greens. Satish walked along the winding path with deliberate steps, a bouquet of bright marigolds and roses held carefully in his hands. The petals were vibrant against the muted earth, like fragments of a joy he was determined to preserve. It had been five years since Anu had passed, yet the memory of her remained as vivid as the first day they had met. She had a laugh that could fill a room, a smile that could calm storms, and a heart that had once held his whole world. Together, they had shared dreams, whispered secrets, and created a little universe of love, one that had borne fruit in the form of their daughter, Vibha. “Papa,” Vibha’s voice came from behind him, small and curious. She held her school bag over her shoulder, her ey...

The Friendship That Became a Prayer

                                            The Friendship That Became a Prayer  It all begins as below.  In a quiet village lived two boys, Aarav, a Hindu, and Ibrahim, a Muslim. Their friendship began in childhood, when they studied together at the same small school under the shade of a giant peepal tree. From sharing their tiffin boxes to walking home side by side, their bond grew stronger with each passing year. Aarav loved the colorful lamps of Diwali, while Ibrahim cherished the peaceful nights of Ramadan. Yet, neither saw festivals as belonging to only one faith. For them, every celebration was simply another chance to share joy. On Diwali evenings, Ibrahim would rush to Aarav’s house. He carefully placed diyas along the courtyard walls, ensuring each one glowed brightly. Once, Aarav’s father asked, “Ibrahim, do you not feel odd lighting diyas of another faith...

MY CRUSH FELL IN LOVE WITH ME

  I had a crush on one of my seniors. I somehow got her number and started a conversation with her. I made sure I was consistent in her life and helped her whenever she needed me. We became good friends. I always wanted and imagined us in a relationship. I loved her but I was never sure if she could fall in love with me. One day she told me while we were chatting that she had someone whom she liked. Suddenly there was a weird feeling in my heart which was not good. I was broken a little bit. But then I decided to just trust My heart. Every evening I used to imagine us in a relationship and affirmed that she was madly in love with me. I was obsessed with her and this is where I was wrong. If I wanted my desire to come true I should let it go. I should be okay with the possibility of never getting her in my life. That was when I started to focus on myself. There was so much work and love that needed to be put into every area of my life. Because I was in love with her it was natural f...
