I was born in a very traditional family and lead a very sheltered and protected life till 24 years of age. All my time was spent in studies or helping my mom with household chores. By the time I finished my post-graduation my parents found …
The serenity of night brings us together in this villa. That’s the only time we get to spend with each other and that’s the only time when she listens to me with all her heart. Yesterday night was no different. We talked, fought and even …

Finally, I don’t know how to wear a saree. I am definitely not proud of the fact but I am not ashamed even.
Anjali was wise enough to make the best use of all the waste and gave a new look to the entire house without a penny of investment. Her neighbors always praised her for managing the household expenses so well and hence, leading a comfortable lifestyle. Anjali was contented with whatever little they had but she always aspired to give the best to her children.
