One fine day, her sleeping pills wore off, and she suddenly woke up from her deep slumber.

[Short Story] The Story of the Goose

Uddhava knew this was the ending, this is it. After moving the people from Mathura and winning the war against Kaurava, karma had caught up with his old friend. The blood bath could not be stopped, Yadavas could not be saved. Two days ago, Uddhava was called upon by his cousin on the death bed, The chariot raced through the muddy streets towards vrindavan. On the back seat clutching tightly to his chest sat Uddhava. Nervous, worried and upset he didn’t know what lay ahead. Events flashed in front of his eyes of the bloodbath in his bellowed Dwarka.

I told you I am a psychopath. Things like apathy, love, sad or hatred do not matter to me." "That can't be true. I have not know anyone incapable of love. Surely you must love something or someone." "Nope, I love only myself and my thoughts, that get crazy somethings." "There can't be any proof for that. You could be feeling sad for the puppy but not showing it." "No I don't," he said, simply, "I did not feel anything when I killed it." Nightmares The dreaded night is here. I have been dreading this moment the whole day. It happens, night after night. Every night my soul is tortured beyond comprehension. Why me? I ask for a thousand times, why me? I stare

Oh how magnificent Vinata was, with her wings spread out wide, her long flights in the air. Once Vinata kept on and on about her long jump towards the sun. Oh how jealous Kadru was. Kadru made a vow that day, that one day, Vinata would be her slave. When they both where married to the Sage Kashyap, son of Manu, she demanded 100 sons, to fulfil her vow against her sister. Vinata was still the smartest and she asked for only two, but both of
