#AtoZChallenge One-liner: P is for Painkiller

Painkiller (noun) A miracle drug that can relieve you of headache and several other body pains but unfortunately doesn't work wonders for pain caused by hurtful words, grief, heartbreaks, etc. If only there was a cure for the pain caused by those causes too! What do you think? Do let me know. The comments section …

#AtoZChallenge One-liner: O is for Onion

Onion (noun) The one vegetable that ensures to take revenge on you for exploiting it; the only vegetable strong enough to make you think of wearing protective gear while slicing. 😛 I have found that keeping onions in the refrigerator (NOT the freezer!) a few minutes before slicing can stop the tears.

#AtoZChallenge One-liner: L is for Lying

Lying (verb) When you find yourself almost automatically replying with an "I'm fine" statement whenever someone* asks you how you are. *Sometimes it's easier not to drag the unsuspecting person into the many complications that life keeps throwing at you (unless of course, they happen to be someone who's very close to you!). They may …

#AtoZChallenge One-liner: K is for Key

Key (noun) The very important property that you stash away safely in your handbag, only to find yourself frantically searching for it when you need it/them again. Almost every day when I return home from work, I have a mini heart attack when I can't find my keys immediately. Somehow my key takes great joy …

tiny tale #44: Chains…

Abuse and pain were all he knew. The numerous scars on his body attested to his suffering. The wounds had healed, but the scars remained...
