Anjo World: Rediscovering Neverland In Minglanilla
Neverland had been without sunshine for over a month. As I ushered in a new era in my life, it seems like my Neverland had become a remnant of my days of exuberance and glory. Wondrous moments of exploring a foreign city alone and scaling verdant peaks had turned into sleepless nights and infinite workload.

The Hirasol Gardener
Note: The Hirasol Garden is a work of fiction created by my hyper active imagination. Amazingly, I felt a strong and irresistible urge to create short stories, after writing The Hirasol Gardener. So, expect more short stories on my blog in the near future. I’m an escapist. Whenever life feels like an endless parade of problems, I find a way to escape it.
