Destiny...


"Destiny" they called it. "Like Mother, Like Daughter" others sighed. But all Latika felt was lightness as she signed those divorce-papers.

Well who was she to argue with destiny... She was just glad her "Destiny" didn’t include putting-up a facade of a "Happy-Married-Life" even as she suffocated within its walls...

There was no way we could let our blogs just sit and rot, while we blamed everyone but ourselves for not writing. Deciding to put an end to the hiatus on writing, me and Ishithaa have decided to write on every day of November on alternate days. Today if the post is on my page, tomorrow it will be on hers.....

  8. What a great way to use the prompts! Suffocated is just the appropriate word for such a predicament.

  9. Pretending to be happy is always worse. Now, she is free to be actually happy.

  11. It is always better to choose happiness. You only get one life. There is no reason to wallow in misery.

  13. It is no life to feel suffocated. One must fly free and be happy. Life is too short not to.
