Do make yourself comfortable. Refreshments are nicely arranged down the page: … Continue reading Jacqueline’s Blog Party

Yes, You!

A serotonin high a rush of phenyethylamine raises dopamine and a feeling of love.   An oasis of calmness a sponge for stress teaches me to value the silence of companionship.   Perfection of emotions in an imperfect body the long-termness of bonding in short-term associations.   The maturity of choice in immature behavior melting … Continue reading Yes, You!

The Secret Code

Why can’t we exist as independent islands in life? The connectedness in the universe has led to interdependence. The very concept of dependence is challenging, as it takes away a part of your self-esteem and individuality. Interoperability is the implementation of interdependence, and therefore remains the biggest challenge in tech, and in life. The focus … Continue reading The Secret Code

Molten Lava

Mona weighed herself for the third time on that day. The gain of twenty pounds was not likely to vanish soon. Just like the never-ending problems in her life. Food was faithful, food was not fickle. It never failed to satisfy, unlike human beings. She had found solace in the brown molten mass of chocolate … Continue reading Molten Lava

For Sue Vincent’s photo prompt.

obelisk

It was the first thing they saw when the sun rose. It was the last thing they saw when they left. Their forebears had built it, an impregnable structure with a message it seemed only they could decipher.

For millennia, humanity had broken against this cliff, scratched and scraped at the smooth material of the obelisk, pored and scratched their heads over its inscriptions. Now they were gone; it was too late to save them. They had come so close to enlightenment, but wave after wave of senseless violence and hatred had consumed the feeble flicker.

With one last, sorrowful look back at the beacon of hope as it glittered in the evening light, they left it to the waves and the sunset and continued their journey to visit the other beacons scattered throughout the universe.

The Abortion Law

She entered Nepean District Hospital again, with a firm resolve. She will terminate this pregnancy. No other child will have an unhappy mother, and lead the miserable life which she had led. A whining, complaining mother blaming others for her plight is the biggest scar on a sane person’s psyche. It affects all relationships. She … Continue reading The Abortion Law

A night under the stars

The horizon was painted an unrealistic yellow. She felt that her vision was blurred by life in the concrete jungle. Aman’s perspective had certainly changed. He looked at the skyscrapers, and thought about the price of a single apartment in that building. When will that terrace flat with a glass ceiling fall in his affordable … Continue reading A night under the stars
