If there is one dimension that reflects its inherent constancy in its dynamism, it is always that of-

-TIME-

-For time never stops. Never does it cease its constant journey towards that one evident, yet unknown destination that it strives to reach in its existence as a dimension in the speck that one calls life. It is this dimension that obscures vivid dreams, this very ceaseless flow that blunts the sharpness of youth, this relentless journey that slowly and steadily wipes out memories as effortlessly as it endeavours to smooth any abrasions created by them.

It is its own afflux, that ends journeys to initiate another, one with a higher meaning and purpose.

Yet in all its dynamism, in all its transition, it chooses to leave somethings unscathed. Especially those that bond those who inhabit the realm affected by it.

'Didn't your mother tell you one?'- he asked, -'For I don't know any fairy tales.'


Lakshmana pouted, in sheer dissatisfaction at her father's poor storytelling capabilities.


'Yes she did'- she pouted once more, -'but I couldn't sleep. And if Ma wakes up again,'-
