He could see the place teeming with hungry, young students– his younger self intently watching Norah eat. This was the only joint he could afford, and his hunger was more for Norah’s company, than food. He visualized the young faces mature into adults, settle down in cosy matrimony, raise a lovely daughter …. it was … Continue reading A parallel journey

Reenas Exploration Challenge Week 31
Welcome again!
Coming straight to the prompt this week ….. Here’s the picture and the lines.
Feel free to write whatever comes to mind – poem, story, free format writing, personal reflections, memoirs, anecdotes — and link up to this post.
Do we leave a bit of ourselves behind in everything we touch, be it pencils, paper, a tree, a chair or even a moment of the day? A place where we’ve been, where the past and present and future collide? When I go somewhere, I can often feel the deep connection to the past. To the people who lived and loved there, to history going back hundreds or thousands of years.

Reenas Exploration Challenge Week 30
Welcome to Week 30!
30 is growing up. 30 is the connecting point between the follies of youth, and a dawning of what seems like maturity. With corporate spans turning shorter, 30 starts a reverse count – how many years more to becoming the CEO? Or where do I go from here, if I am already the CEO? 30 might also see some people raise children, which opens up new perspectives to the world, as one has seen it. Most importantly, the thirties in life raised the question “Who do I want to be?”, rather than “What am I expected to be?”, at least for the older generation.
So, here is an interactive story with a twist. There is no imposed beginning or end. Just a few sentences, which can be included anywhere in your piece ……..
Here’s the challenge, not an easy one though.
