I am a happy-go-lucky girl. When I was in high school, I used to get thrown out of my class for being a very naughty kid. Being asked to get out of the class, with my attendance marked were some joyous little moments.

Once, while I was asked to stand outside my classroom as a punishment. I was playing with paper planes and paper boats.

Suddenly, our professor comes our of the class and says in Marathi* "Nirlajj sada sukhi" (Ignorant/Shameless always happy)

3WW: Crazy Fans

Secrets of the fed

They made an enchanting statue of her

Anyone saying anything against her shall be beheaded was their rule

The were crazy, they were fanatical

One day, she herself decided to see her much publicized statue

She dropped in as a surprise

With tears in their eyes, giddiness they felt

Their goddess herself has graced her presence

They didn't want her to leave

Little did she expect, that they would tie her up in a golden casket

And bury her alive under her statue

That place now, has become holier than ever for them

I had been waiting to hear those words my entire life…said the ghost of Adira who has been trapped in this mirror by that damned curse.

"The day a married virgin in white, 
when the sun shall shine bright, 
When those eyes of color blue shall look into you
That is the day out of this mirror you shall come through"

Today, this "just married" blue-eyed bride, is here to set me free. Her body, I shall use for the things, I only wished.

Today is the day, when 2400 year old Adira, will be 24 again.

FFAR: Going Away!

Hi Guys,

 

I am Hirvi. My name is inspired from an Indian language "Marathi", it means Green

Suits me!

Well, I saw this poster today, with my picture.

Don’t I look cute?

 And it said “Venture across America” & asked ‘where will I go next?”

Hmm..well let’s see…how many options do I have?

Very few

Why?

Because I love the green, I love the jungles but you human’s have destroyed everything I loved & made green jungles into concerete jungles
You stole my home, you dried my river.

Now, you ask me where will I go next?

I will go extinct. That’s where I am going next EXTINCT

“Didn’t you bring a shovel?” asked One to Two with a grin on his face

"No, actually I think that man who comes here everyday while we sleep has taken it with him" said Two with a smile on his face

"Fine, Now turn down the fire lantern, you know we hate light right?" said One

"Ok" * pause and eerie silence

"Hey, One, I found the brush...now lets start tickling everyone who is sleeping around here" said Two
"Dude, what is the point..all of us are anyways forever smiling" said One

Resigned & tired now Two said "Fine, lets just clean our tombs, its sunrise time" 
And they vanished

Sun rose slowly, and the first rays of light fell on the cemetery where more than 1800 people are buried.
One and Two and skeletons of someone who is buried here, and its known that skeletons do not need tickling, they keep smiling always
