The Last Lantern: A Grandfather’s Secret and a Grandson’s Promise.
Every year, Ayaan looked forward to summer. Every summer he could return to the hills—to the little town where his grandfather, Baba Jan, lived in an old wooden cottage with a slanted roof and a garden that smelled of dirt and mint—not because school let out or the heat of the city subsided.

"Bound by Love: A Mother-Daughter Story"
In a remote village cradled between emerald rice fields and a winding river, lived a woman named Radha and her only daughter, Mira. Their home was a humble mud house with a thatched roof, always swept clean, always smelling faintly of tamarind and fresh coriander. The village had no paved roads, no internet, and no dreams larger than the horizon—except for the ones Radha carried for Mira.

The Last Letter in Her Drawer
Miriam had always been the quiet one. In every family gathering, she sat in her corner chair, hands wrapped around a teacup, eyes scanning the room with gentle amusement. She was never one to make a fuss. She remembered every birthday, told soft bedtime stories, and made her famous rosehip jam every spring without fail. To the family, she was the anchor, the kind of woman who made things feel like home.

The Power of Family
Family is more than just a group of people we are born into. It is the foundation of our values, the first place we learn about love, support, trust, and responsibility. Whether it’s made up of parents, siblings, grandparents, or even close friends who feel like kin, family plays a central role in shaping who we are.

Love Beyond Limits
In a world often quick to judge by appearance, the love story of a petite woman standing less than one meter tall and her strong, healthy husband is a powerful reminder that real love has nothing to do with physical stature. Their union, based on mutual respect, trust, and deep emotional connection, has touched millions around the world — especially after the birth of their first child, which brought their family to tears of joy.

"Khanyisile: The Light My Grandfather Couldn't See"
I'm still unsure if my grandfather ever truly loved me. I'm the oldest grandchild in my family, born just a year before my cousin who was always seen as the who needed attention. She had health issues growing up, allergies, sensitivities - so naturally, she was doted on. But that attention quickly became favouritism, and with it, came the feeling of being invisible in my own family.

The Secret My Mother-In-Law Took to Her Grave (And How It Changed Our Family Forever)
It all started with a whisper I wasn’t supposed to hear My mother-in-law, Amina, was always kind—but distant. We got along, but I could feel an invisible wall between us. There was warmth in her smile, but also something hidden in her eyes. A quiet sadness, maybe. Or guilt. I could never tell.

Sunday Best. AI-Generated.
Sunday Best by T.D Carter As I sit here and reminisce, I can see myself vividly—like a lucid dream—at five years old. The image is so clear and real, I can still smell the bergamot grease in my freshly pressed hair. My golden-brown skin shines like a new copper penny, slick with coconut butter and Vaseline. The smells bring it all back, and I close my eyes as I remember that hot, humid, sticky Sunday morning.

The Whisper of a Thought
In the middle of the night, when the world had gone quiet and the stars blinked slowly in the velvet sky, Ayaan sat alone at the edge of his rooftop. The warm summer breeze rustled his shirt, and the hum of a distant generator filled the otherwise still silence. A single thought had crept into his mind earlier that day — simple, yet unsettling.
