"Echoes of a Childhood Summer"

It was the summer of my childhood, the kind of summer that felt endless, where days stretched long and warm, and every moment was filled with laughter and adventure. I was seven years old, and that particular day at my Nani’s house is a memory I hold close to my heart—a day of pure, innocent joy, the kind that only childhood can bring.

My Nani’s house, with its slightly creaky wooden doors and the lingering scent of incense and freshly cooked food, was always my favorite place. It was where I felt the most free, the most loved. That day, the excitement bubbled in my chest as my two closest friends arrived. We weren’t just having a small get-together; to us, it felt like the biggest, most extravagant house party ever. The living room, usually neat and quiet, was transformed into our stage. The old radio played our favorite tunes, its slightly static sound making it all the more special. We danced with wild abandon, spinning in circles until we collapsed on the floor, giggling and breathless, only to get up and do it all over again.

Our mothers, as always, made everything even more wonderful. My mom walked in with a box of pastries, their sugary aroma filling the air and making my mouth water in anticipation. One of my friends’ moms brought mini pizzas—tiny, cheesy bites of heaven that we devoured as if we were at the fanciest party in town. The other friend’s mom had packed snacks and juices, and we sipped on the cool, fruity drinks in between our crazy dance routines, feeling like true party stars.

The warm summer breeze floated through the open windows, the soft rustling of the trees outside mixing with our music and laughter. The golden rays of the evening sun slanted through the curtains, making everything feel even more magical. We danced until our little feet ached, our hair messy, our cheeks flushed from all the excitement. We didn’t care about anything else in the world—no school, no homework, no rules. It was just us, in that perfect moment of childhood bliss.

As the evening wore on and the shadows stretched longer, we finally sat down on the floor, eating the last bites of our treats, still giggling over the silliest things. We talked about everything—our dreams, our favorite cartoons, the games we would play the next day. There was something so comforting about those conversations, the kind of happiness that didn’t need anything extravagant, just the presence of good friends, good food, and the endless possibilities of childhood.

That night, as I lay in bed at my Nani’s house, the sounds of the distant street fading into the quiet hum of the night, I smiled to myself. My heart was full, my body tired but in the best way possible. I didn’t know then how much I would cherish that day when I grew up, how it would become one of those memories I’d look back on with a longing smile. A time when happiness was simple, when love was felt in every shared bite of food, every laugh, every silly dance move. A memory of childhood—pure, golden, and irreplaceable.

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 ...
