Dad.. My Knight

“Caw!” said the Crow,

“Welcome!  Good morning!” said Dad, as he got up to feed his pets- A crow and squirrel-  some bread, and have his first smoke of the day.

A little letter to little me

As a young girl, I was often very shy . More of an introvert then, I was often compared with my friends/ cousins because they were a lot “smarter / sophisticated” than I was. Not a fighter by nature , my face would grow small, and I would quietly sit in a corner .On such occasions, my grandfather, who used to be my best friend, would often walk up to me , and exclaim – “You look charming , young lady!!”.
