A Trip to Rajasthan- by Aishani Saha

Image
  A trip to Rajasthan We enjoyed our trip to Rajasthan. We reached the airport in the morning. We boarded the flight, but sadly, the plane was delayed. I sneakily took my mother’s phone and played the “Dino Game”. So basically, you click the screen to make the Dino jump. I played it the whole flight, because the game can be played offline. Jodhpur We landed in a very hot place (there were ACs, so do not worry). I was literally sweating, but I still wore my jacket (because I wanted to look cool). After a lot of time, we reached the hotel. The first thing I generally do is go and occupy the washroom before my parents. But this time I was too lazy to do it. I just changed my clothes and fell asleep. Then, when we woke up, we went and explored the most unique places in Jodhpur. The first places we went to were Mehrangarh Fort and Umaid Bhavan.                      We went back to our hotel. My mother and I went to buy some...

"D" for "Dimension"

The house had a peculiar shape. She had never encountered anything like it before. From the outside, it looked like a dome, but inside, it had various corners that confused her. The rooms were arranged like layers, one inside another. She kept entering room after room. In the first room, she saw a newborn baby in a cradle, crying. She didn't stop to look. The next room contained a little girl—a toddler—giggling playfully. Again, she did not stop. As she moved into the next room, she found a girl around six or seven years old, strikingly similar to the toddler from the previous room. She paused for a moment, as the child looked oddly familiar, but she brushed off the thought and proceeded to the following room. In that room, she encountered a teenager writing in a notebook. Her unkempt hair was tousled across her face, but when she looked up, the girl bore a shocking resemblance to her own teenage self. Feeling scared and confused, she hurried to the next room, where she was confron...

"C" for "Cursed"

He sent away all his servants before sunset. His eyes had already begun to burn, and his entire body was turning pale. The moon was about to rise at any moment. The sky was clear that day, and he was waiting for the little clouds to drift away so that the full moon could reveal its glory. Finally, it appeared. His skin began to tear open, his backbone shifted, and his whole body started to grow coarse hair. A dark, furry coat covered him completely. His teeth transformed into those of a dog, and his hands morphed into forelegs. He stepped out of the house and headed toward the forest. The entire area echoed with his howl. This transformation happened once a month; it was painful, yet it was also the time when he gained his power. This post is a part of  BlogchatterA2Z Challenge 2026

"B" for "Break"

Their hands brushed against each other, evoking memories of earlier times. The sea, with its enormous waves, stirred up thoughts of the past. They used to spend long, lazy evenings at this very spot, lost in conversation for hours. However, the weight of their responsibilities gradually diminished these outings until, one day, they came to a complete stop. They didn’t even realise when it happened; it just did. But today, with their children away at a picnic, they finally had a chance to be alone together after more than a decade, even if only for a few hours. This was their moment, an opportunity to focus on nothing but each other. This post is a part of  BlogchatterA2Z Challenge 2026

Cry Baby #Blogaberrycc

Cry Baby The cry of a baby, I can hear, Is it hungry? Or, it's just fear? Should I just hear, or go near? My thoughts are all over, but I get clear. I search for the baby, here and there, There is no baby, only a chair, Again. I look for the baby, it is nowhere. What about the cry? Coming from where? Soon I see from behind the toy deer, A cute, tiny, pink face appear The cry has been coming from here, It's just a baby doll, I am fooled my dear!!

"A" for "Apathy"

The junction was busy; it was peak time, and most commuters were on their way to work. In the middle of the junction stood a lamppost—fancy and shorter than usual, with a Victorian lampshade. No one seemed to notice as a woman walked toward it. She approached at a fatigued pace, her eyes vacant, and her long dupatta flowing in the wind. When she reached the lamppost, she took off her dupatta and swung it around the post. It took her three attempts to form a noose. A few passersby noticed her and gathered around, while most ignored the scene and continued on their way, preoccupied with their busy schedules. The onlookers pulled out their phones to record the unfolding drama; after all, drama means views. Oblivious to her surroundings, she tightened the noose around her throat, as if no one else existed. Slowly but steadily, she pulled on the end of the dupatta. Her body began to rise, her eyes bulging and bloodshot, with her tongue hanging from the corner of her mouth. The sounds of cam...

My Watchlist This Week

Image
Well, well, I am back with another watchlist barometer. And here are 2 under my scanner today, since I recently watched them. They are Scarpetta and Anniversary. April is going to be challenging for me, as my daughter is starting secondary school now, with many new subjects being introduced, so I will be light on writing and will take a month off from my movie/web series and musical posts. So, I thought of writing the last entertainment post for March today- what better than an entertainment-filled Sunday?  Scarpetta ( Web Series) I had revealed a bit about the series in my last post . But the context was entirely different from that of a review. Today, however, I will share my views on it. First of all, why did I choose to watch it? Well, simple answer: Nicole Kidman, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Simon Baker (after such a long time)!!  And I started enjoying it, initially, although Kidman's never-smiling, upright, too-perfect-to-be-true character was a bit much for me to take. But a...
