Life is Short & Sweet

Gentle breeze Countless stars Yet another dinner as in the daily routine chart.  Most things are predictable  in that school apart from the feelings that rush through the minds. I waited for him under the shady tree which hides me from the fluorescent lamp. And I remained hidden throughout my life.  -Athira M. K.

“Mia, you look so smart in your school uniform”. I said to my cousin while she has been dressed up by her mother for the first day of her school. I eagerly looked over the innocent face for her cute reply, but I saw a tiny tear drop on the brim of her lashes. I felt sorry for her. I saw me in her place and hardly found any difference. It may be the Donald duck on the umbrella has been replaced by ben 10. But I saw a large difference in the attitude of students. Everyday is filled with strange and dreadful incidents. When I was at school I couldn't think of a boy killing his classmate. Now the society has witnessed that too. Dear I’m really worried about you. -Athira M. K.
