For the uninitiated, I have taken to writing short stories. Really short ones. 55 words or less. All thanks to Vivek (@vivekisms) from Twitter who runs a #55wordstory hashtag every 1-2 days.

Do check out the archives and go through the stories. Love, lust, chappals, tomatoes, eggs (poached) and pink chuddies welcome :)

#55wordstory - Space/spaces


Twitter had killed this blogging star and it's been close to 3 years since I've posted anything on this blog.

Long posts are still not my cup of tea but I came across this interesting contest on Twitter which weirdly re-ignited my passion for writing - http://bit.ly/If4Bs8


So, this weary traveler is gonna start writing again.

**Offer open till Blogger.com files for bankruptcy or my enthusiasm runs out.

interesting... there are 2 ways I can read it, and it does make sense both ways! :)

is that how you conceived it?

@R thanks R.. yes it was conceived that way, in layers...and when smart readers like you interpret it in more ways than one, it makes the post even more special.. personal if I may say so!

Just came across this on twitter. And absolutely loved the way you carried the two parallel stories.
Kudos! :)
