Mouri was not in shape. She quickly tried to duck into a tea house – as she wasn’t dressed for a yoga session, she was sure she would be able to blend in there. She failed miserably. Ami just got in line behind her. But Mouri was too tired to run again. The two got… Continue reading

Sister Reduced, part 6
“Do… I just keep calling you Rina for now?” Biralee asked as she followed her sister to the Deli. “You don’t mind, do you?” “I guess not.” “So what do you want to know about?” “Usha… isn’t the orignal Usha.” “She isn’t.

Sister Reduced, part 1
“You have to change names. I can be a secretary, but nothing else can match.” Usha replied to her sister. “So, like, nothing about the triplets?” Virika with her outlet of writing, had borrowed her sister’s likeness before.

A Totally True Account of a Sister, part six
It was about this time the actual Usha got a raise – and for a gift, she sent her sister a phone. The cheapest one she could find. This was fine, as the family home still didn’t even have reception; If Virika walked to the road, she could get texts about the time she saw… Continue reading

Tapedeck Collection 1
Virika had a number of one-offs, but her most consistent character to write about between the ages of 10 and 13 was “Tapedeck” – In many ways an expy for her many-times-Great Aunt Mina.

A Totally True Account of a Sister, part five
Fed up with herself, Virika didn’t write for a while. Eventually thoughts did solidify, after a month, monsoon leaving her stuck indoors and remembering things.
