“Pit-pat, pit-pat”You hear the last few drops of the shower as they yield themselves to the embrace of the windowpane, finally resting after a long day.Averting your gaze from the pale whiteness of the pages you have been reading, you look towards the window to behold the beauty of those little droplets whose sound has captivated your ears.

Author bio

Hey there! I am just another aspiring writer (for now at least) trying desperately to find a unique place through what my words express. I probably don't fit into the conventional picture of a writer because although I love experiencing and observing the beauty of things- nature, the commotion in the city, the aunty living next door, including other things, I usually write within the confines of my home.

Looking forward to anything and everything you have to say about my work!
