“Instinct” by Monika Chiplunkar

The projector flickered between slides, each depicting the very worst of human nature, in a non-poetic ode to Criminal Psychology.  “Trust your instincts. The inbuilt radar of the human body is attuned to react to danger and evil of any sort.

“And so starts the ageless love” by Monika Chiplunkar

Staring up at the winking stars, Larry walked along the countryside, dejected, forlorn, eyes brimming with tears as his heart kept breaking into a million pieces. ‘Evernedale’ - Larry’s town, had the good grace of being pampered by mother nature.

“DESTINY” by Monika Chiplunkar

Life sometimes takes a turn into bizzaro lane where you can almost feel fiction meeting reality. This lane is much easier to face if you have some premonition of the impending doom, but like its all other quirks, life springs its crazy on your back when you least expect it.  I woke up like I always did- Late. It was my first day at office and I knew I needed to fast forward the whole morning to reach office on time. It had been a tough arduous year . With the economic slowdown, securing a job was hercul...
