#FridayFrame: Castles Made of Sand.


OFS 70

A smile adorned my face as I watched him build castles made of sand.
We were at the beach! 


Reflection of the sun and sky in the vast sea embraced the father-son duo.
His animated features – laughter, dark hair, petite limbs - induced a plethora of flashbacks across my nimble mind.


"Look daddy! This castle is for you, me and mommy."


The curiosity in those eyes reminded me of hers. Memories fade away like wild waves.


How to reveal a toddler the abstruseness of motherlessness?

Kissing my feet, the sea waves slowly washed away the castle of nostalgic dreams!

#Haiku03 : Bob Marley.


"One good thing about music, 
when it hits you, 
you feel no pain."

 ~
Bob Marley


A man born in forgotten Jamaican streets during the troubled war era rises to stir one of the biggest international uprisings along with almost single-handedly gifting the musical world with a beautiful new word called Reggae.

I dedicate this to you!

#Haiku01: Burning Bridges.


Often in our life's eternal journey we come across bridges. 
A dilemma is essential while making the choices that your heart and mind battle out. 
We either walk to the other side in hope to find all that we imagine would quench our desires, or 
light a fire to burn the bridge down.
