A Moment Of Pure Joy



The evening breeze carried the soft murmurs of leaves rustling against each other as I walked through the apartment garden. It was one of those moments when the world felt unhurried, the golden hues of the setting sun painting everything in warm shades of peace.

And then, amid this quiet beauty, I saw her—a little girl, no more than two or three years old, laughing as she ran in uneven steps toward her father. Her tiny feet barely made a sound on the soft grass, her curls bouncing with each step. The sheer joy on her face was contagious, like a drop of pure sunlight in the fading dusk.

Her father knelt a few feet away, arms open wide, mirroring her excitement. “Come on, princess!” he called, his voice filled with warmth. She giggled, a sound so pure it felt like music, and ran faster, her tiny hands reaching forward. Just as she was about to crash into him, he scooped her up effortlessly, spinning her in the air.

Her laughter rang through the garden, unfiltered and free, as she clung to his shoulders, eyes shining with delight. “Again, Papa!” she demanded, her little fingers curling into his shirt.

He chuckled, pressing a soft kiss to her cheek before setting her down again. “Alright, one more time!”

I found myself smiling without realizing it. There was something magical in that moment—the way she trusted him completely, the way he looked at her with nothing but love, the way the world around them seemed to fade as they existed in their own bubble of happiness.

And then, suddenly, a memory stirred inside me.

I was that little girl once—running with wobbly steps, my laughter echoing through the air as my father waited with open arms. I remembered the way he used to lift me high above his head, spinning me until the world blurred into streaks of color. I remembered the way his laughter matched mine, the way his arms were my safest place.

For a brief moment, I was a child again, feeling that boundless joy, that unquestioning love.

And just like that, the weight of my stressful day seemed to lift. The tension that had followed me home, the exhaustion clinging to my shoulders—it all melted away in the simplicity of that moment. I had found a forgotten piece of my own childhood, tucked away in the corners of my heart, still warm, still alive.

As I walked away, I felt lighter. Some moments don’t belong to us, yet they touch us in ways we don’t expect. Today, I had witnessed love in its simplest, most beautiful form—a little girl playing with her father in the garden, filling the world with laughter. And in that fleeting moment, I had found relief, a reminder that sometimes, the purest joys in life are the ones we don’t seek—they simply find us.

The Last Page Of Memories!!

The corridors of ADCH echoed with laughter,  but that day, it wasn’t just any laughter. It was the sound of friendships woven over years, of Department memories, canteen memories, and of the final chapter of an unforgettable. They stood arm in arm, their white coats covered in scribbled messages, signatures, and farewell notes. Their hearts were heavy, but their faces beamed with joy. It was their last day as students. They were diffrent people but... Over time, they became inseparable—helping each other survive with dept.chaos, celebrating small victories like diagnosing a rare condition in class, and the most unforgotable memories in the garden,canteen & what not. The Picture That Said It All The next morning, as they stood in their white coats one last time, someone suggested a picture. But as the camera clicked, none of them could hold back their emotions. Laughter bubbled up, memories flooded their hearts, and for a brief moment, time stood still. This w...

Whispers of Eternity!!

Part 1: The First Glimpse The clock struck 2:45 p.m., and Vishva sprinted down the bustling street with Janki, her best friend. They were running late for their chemistry class at the tuition center, laughter echoing as they dodged through the crowded corridors. Panting, Janki pulled Vishva’s arm, “Hurry up! We’re already ten minutes late!” As they reached the classroom door, Janki pushed it open, but they stopped dead in their tracks. It wasn’t their chemistry class—it was the math lecture, packed with students scribbling furiously on their notebooks. A sudden hush fell over the room as heads turned to look at the two uninvited guests. Embarrassed, Vishva’s eyes darted around, her cheeks flushing pink. But then, her gaze froze. There he was. Sitting on the first bench, leaning forward with intense focus, was Ved. He wore a grey hoodie, black spectacles that framed his sharp eyes, and black shoes neatly tucked under his seat. His fingers twirled a pen while his other hand scribbled equ...

The girl who found her voice

Aarushi had always been the quiet one. As a child, she was the kind who would rather stay in her room, curled up with a book or scribbling in her journal, than engage in the noisy bustle of family gatherings or school events. She was an introvert, comfortable with her solitude, content with the world she created in her head. But there was one thing that always tugged at her—she had dreams, big dreams, but no voice to share them. Her dream was simple: to inspire people with her words. But the problem was, she didn’t believe her words were worth hearing. When she entered college, she thought things would change. She’d always loved to write, but here, among so many people, the pressure to be seen and heard was overwhelming. No one noticed the shy girl who sat at the back of the class, her head always buried in her notebook. But Aarushi didn’t mind. She wrote quietly, just as she always had, never daring to share her work. One day, while scrolling through social media, Aarushi came across ...
