		<description><![CDATA[As I entered my neighbourhood, I spotted a hearse parked a few metres away from my house. Someone must be dead. My mind instantly assumed it to be the ill-treated and ailing father of the notorious neighbour staying diagonally across my house. I was just about to drop my cigarette in anticipation of crossing their [...]]]></description>

It is dark, Everything is in shades of green, Blood is black, Oozing from mangled bones As you step over them. You look back. Between two burning trees You see her, Slowly fleeting into you, Holding your hand, And [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Someone asked me what is the fundamental difference between being in 'Love' and having a 'Crush'.

At a young age it is tough to differentiate between these two feelings and the result is always on an unhappy note. However, it is very true that even at later age this difference remains obscure to many.]]></description>
