“The Book of Lands” by Pooja Dubey

Submitted to Contest #91

The library is my favorite place and I can spend hours running through shelves exploring books and then, sit in silence to enjoy the ones I would pick. Unfortunately, my city does not have many libraries. The Town Hall library used to be the largest in the city but it was going to shut down and when I heard the news that they were going to close it and use the space to build an exhibition hall, I was disheartened.

Submitted to Contest #90

“I brought this flat because it was near nature. I loved it here but now, they are planning to cut off these trees and make more buildings.

I was looking at the busy street, wondering when the crowd would stop growing in the city. The city had already exhausted its capacity to hold more but people seem to not care. Eve...

She loved the story of Snow White, like any other girl, except that she did not know that one day, she would be living one like that. It was a mid-summer afternoon and she was sitting on her porch with a storybook in her hands. The words in Garamond said, “Snow White: The Story Retold” and below it was scribbled, “Because some secrets are better not revealed”. Andrew Reynolds, the author was famous for his eerie depictions of fa...

“I was Fortunate!” by Pooja Dubey

Submitted to Contest #47

27 days continuously, I have been carrying an umbrella. Just this one day when I had to go for a meeting in which I was supposed to be a presenter, I forgot the umbrella and guess what even the weather forecast guys assured me of the SUNSHINE! Yes, that is what they said in the news so I was relaxed but the moment I stepped out of the crowded local train at Bandra station, it started pouring really heavy, even heavier than cats and dogs. That is how Mumbai rains are. It either doesn't rain for days or it rains like a predictable flood and...
