In need of an expression
Days piled up on days like layers of pancake. The sky changing colour with seasons. Murky greys to bright blues. The warmth of oranges and reds and yellows. Sometimes purple too.

Miss. Out
Hello, this is Rajendrani, and this is my 3rd attempt to start a blog! The last ones were way too serious with really boring names, that I hated them myself after few months. This time I tried to come up with a quirky name, that should perhaps make some sense (or shouldn’t!). Most of all,…
