“Khat Khatt Khat” the sound coming from the adjacent room took me out of the reverie. I checked my watch, it was 2 am. “Pa…what are you doing at this time?” “Nothing Beta…venting out my emotions,” Pa said without stopping his hands on the typewriter.

He and I were always on loggerheads. He was two years younger to me but he called me by my name and none disapproved because he was a boy, an awaited son after four daughters and was apple of the eye of all family members. I say all family members because we lived with our […]

I’m back to my country after 25 years, a lot has changed around but this place appears the same; only the seats are barren.
