I take pride in creating beautiful covers for household items – teapots, trays, scratched table tops or unsightly corners. It has evolved into a lucrative business, and my homemaker friends envy me for the financial freedom I gained through it. “Do I get any plus marks for creativity?” I ask with a smile in one … Continue reading Covers
Do Your Best ….. by Indira
Don’t know
how long
I’ll live
but
I’ll
try
to light as many candles
and try to inspire
others
to do
the same
before
I melt
away

A conflict created by man-
Time,
Here I am, staring at portals of vanity,
back and forth,
choosing intervals,
denuding shades hereby accumulated,
is plainness overly simplified,
overly underrated, that different layers
added over time, to achieve significance?
A conflict created by man-
Time,
in a time lapse of contradictions,
nostalgia and reality,
blur lines,
He who hurts is prayed for eternity,
He who helps is doomed to servitude,
travesty of time, confusion of mind,
in an incoherent chord.
A conflict created by man-
Time,
Here I am, staring into an overgrowing abyss,
fiction and non-fiction,
canvas of fairies and fantasy,
lure into swamp of ethereal existence,
cravings of time
stretch motions of finite,
dilute life and beyond.

“An unfinished story invites. It gives everyone the liberty to complete it as they like.” Henry’s words keep haunting me as I browse through his incomplete manuscript. Unfinished structures welcome every new brick or stone. They reach completion but not in the manner as perceived in the beginning. I call the publisher. “If this book … Continue reading Unfinished

“Optimism is a lens” she said, “it helps you tide over life. Isn’t it a wonder that we cannot see things beyond a certain point, and cannot hear anything with a volume less than 20 decibels?” “I guess so. But I can feel the heartbeats, if not hear, and sometimes I question why. Imagination is … Continue reading Optimism

Time ….by Len
They say that time has meaning only to a particular observer and I tend to agree with that observation. In the sixties, I took a girl on a first date to the West End of London to see the stage musical ‘Desert Song’ (music by Romberg, lyrics by Hammerstein). In discussions after the musical, I was informed that it was the most boring, interminable, two hours of her life, whereas I was enthralled and thought it had flown by far too quickly.
Time and tide wait for no one as it grinds relentlessly on. We strive for independence at the age of three but have to bow to the constant aspirations of our parents and teachers as they try to mold us into beings of their own thought processes. We struggle with authority through our teenage years as…
