My Fairyland

We met two months ago in the college cafeteria. Soon casual conversation gave way to deep meaningful parleys, book exchanges, book giftings, and in no time we became friends.

One day, I had a decision to make. I needed to be by myself to write, and she needing to read.

I stepped inside this house. It was a tiny room with clothes scattered throughout, walls that must have witnessed years of seepage and a gigantic bookshelf that covered one side of the wall completely. I made the decision to move in.

Swagatika and I. Best of friends for fifteen years and counting.

Not every fairytale has a Prince Charming!
