Fading Connections

Posted in Flash fiction, Sensitivity, emotions, Short fiction, Writing Prompt/Challenge

The early morning hush seemed quite unnerving to Tanya. She walked past the drunkards and creeps lurking in the dark corners of the station with confident steps. Huh! Sunday mornings were meant for sleeping, her mind grumbled. Only if she weren’t in a hurry to catch a train at this ungodly hour. She was a busy executive who was fast climbing the success ladder in a multinational in the big metropolis. She loved the city as it has given her everything that she ever wanted from life. However, the erratic work hours and cut-throat competition has left her lonely and bereft of friends. But, she has no time for regrets. Except, for the fact that in this race she left behind the very man she had promised to always cherish in life. She loved him dearly. He was her source of constant support and encouragement. However, the last few months had strained their relationship a little. She couldn’t give him enough time and he never complained. But today, she’s going to make up for all the lost time and unanswered phone calls, she thought while knocking at his door. The man opened the door and smiled. “Happy Father’s Day, dad!”

Hi there!! This is Piyali. Welcome to my blog- Solitary Soul with a Chaotic Mind. To know more about me, kindly read on----A ravenous glutton for food, music, cinema, literature and basically all good things in life....in leisure when I am not occupied with any of these, I write. Professionally, I am associated with the writing and publishing industry for a little less than a decade now. However, I prefer to introduce myself differently by talking about things that I like to do in my spare time; things that deeply move me; things that evoke and stir the passionate soul in me. I am a traveler, though not the backpacking kind, rather an extremely relaxed unhurried one who loves visiting boring museums or spending hours sitting in a sidewalk cafe observing passersby. I am an amateur baker who occasionally loses herself in the sweet scent of vanilla beans, the light silky smoothness of flours, the sinful gooey goodness of chocolates and the soft delectable creaminess of frosting. I am a keen observer (in a non-judgemental way of course) of people and life in general. I am an avid reader who goes through momentary phases of acute depression or absolute elation while reading a book. This blog is an outlet for the blabbermouth lunatic in me who wants to share her thoughts, experiences, and anecdotes with the world. Through my constant ramblings, I intend to make a difference in your life in whatever little way possible.

      2. Thanks, Aditi. I feel truly honoured. However, I have decided to concentrate solely on my writing these days. Therefore, I am not participating in award nominations anymore. My reward is when you visit and read my blogs. Can’t thank you enough for the constant support you’ve shown me, dear. Love and Hugs. Piyali.
