    Warlock's Institute for Controlling and Keeping Dragons(WICKED), Romania is the world's most prestigious institute which moulds out the best Dragon keepers in the world. It's renown as an all-boy institute dealing with the untamable and  vicious beasts among the magical creatures. What would happen when a girl steps her foot in the institute breaking all stereotypes? "This is not going to end well Scott" his yells pulled them all out of trance. "I am not expecting a happily ever after either" she said, smiling at him and made a dramatic exit from the classroom. Sometimes all it takes is to believe in yourself and stand up for what you think is right. It's what you think of yourself that matters after all and not the labels assigned by others. You are not someone's judgement. Natalie wasn't going to hide in her cocoon anymore. It was time she fought back for herself. She wasn't going to let anyone undermine her dignity. She has now fo...

The life she landed

S he flutters her eyes open as the alarm beeps for the hundredth time this morning. She snakes her arms under the sheets to switch the damn thing off. It’s giving her a headache and the light penetrating through the window is too vibrant for her to take in at the moment. “Damn it!!” she says, pulling the cell phone from under her pillow. It’s 10AM and heck! she had to be at the mall by 11:00 A.M, ’cause she had promised to hang out with her bestie with whom she shares a love-hate relationship. She never wanted to hang out in the first place because of her late night work shifts on Fridays. But saying no was not an option, because that’s what you do; your friends ask you to do something, you do it. That’s how you fit in.  She rummages her closet for the perfect outfit because if it isn’t trendy enough, she would be outcast by her peers. Fashion sense outweighs common sense now and she has to keep up with that. Tossing her nightgown in the pile of laundry which is yearning for the Su...

Better

“You can do better”  his father’s comment wiped the smile away from  Jerry’s face. He was just five marks away from a perfect hundred.  That in itself was a big achievement, he had thought. But that’s not how his father saw it. He could have done better. He always could have. But no matter how better he does, it doesn’t get better.  Jerry shut the front door behind him and walked towards the playground across the street. He sat on the swing lazily and watched the children play, shout, run, scream and do whatever they felt like doing. All those happy faces made the corners of his lips twitch up. Life is not all about a race to win, he thought to himself. Sometimes you have to go off track and ditch the scene. Jerry was so busy playing mental conversations that he didn’t realise when he got hit by a rubber ball which came his way and swept him off of the swing, only to be landed on the cold hard ground. . “Are you feeling better son?” His father asked looking at h...

You all matter

" All humans are selfish " I mumbled scratching on my notepad gritting my teeth. " Oi,  I'm a human too! " My friend gave me a disbelieving look. " Yes, you, me, we all are selfish  " I said, zipping up my bag.  " We don't have a choice dear " she said, rolling her eyes. " Yes we do. To let live " I said barging out of the class.   My fellow classmate suggesting to dump all the waste in high seas in our environmental law class had got me on my nerves. I absentmindedly made my way to the ferry station. I, the insignificant helpless human took a seat on the ferry by the window, when the lady sitting next to me just threw the plastic bottle in the water. I stared at her for a second and shifted my eyes to the poster pasted in front of the driver's cabin "Save our home" was written in bold blue letters. A happy dolphin smiled back at me and my heart sank.  How do I save you dear ? The next day on my way ho...
