Irony......
Supriya sat down with a cup of tea and book in her hand looking out of her bedroom window at the faint drizzle. She could see the tiny drops of water on all the rose shrubs that she had carefully planted and tended to. Some of the roses were blooming from their budding state. It was her day off from work and Vishwaas was going to be late as it was ... more...
