The movie star’s fans are baffled by her attempt to commit suicide. So many of them would love to be in her shoes to enjoy her fame, wealth, repeated success and enormous fan following. Media persons send several messages, but all remain unanswered. She announces that she would produce, write, direct and act in her … Continue reading Copy-pasted scripts

“House-house was the most popular game in my childhood. I had no choice but to play as per preference of my playmates. It was better than isolation. I was often castigated and rebuked because I showed a marked preference for administrative and going-out tasks rather than cooking, cleaning and laundry.” “The story has not changed … Continue reading Wisdom

You create magic every time, Jude 🙂
Dire predictions
the dimple in a grim smile
Is my resistance
like changing seasons
heedless deeds spin fortune’s wheel
a chain reaction
I see with thine eye
Is this the lover’s edict
hybrid creations
In a lawless world
karma keeps a watchful gaze
the peasant toils on
Inhibited soul
you must bloom in their vision
to grow your wisdom
On a dreamer’s whim
pave new ways to withered ends
that you must rebuild

Poetry, poets and predictions …. by Aishwarya
Do you see humans birthing in laboratories or Earth changing its orbit or aliens attacking us? Well! I don’t, at least in the near future but these are some of Baba Venga’s prediction for 2023. This was done way back and I attribute it to an imaginative mind!
I would draw rainbows from a hazy sky. Creativity knows no bounds. Like an agile magician, poetry and poets stretch their possibilities and see beyond the horizon. A flower floats in the sky and fish, well, can do everything but swim. Everything I do is stitched with its colour, and dutifully taken back.
Without poetry, poets and predictions, living would lose its charm and life would lose its liveliness. Hurray to a world of imagination. Beyond reality!

I hear sobs and curses amidst deafening applause. Yes, the story of women in the British army being raped, and then misdiagnosed as suffering from emotional disorders weighs heavy on my thoughts. It happens in other fields too, not necessarily in the army, as the sadistic diagnosis facilitates their elimination from active social and professional … Continue reading Shadows
“If matter is a dense form of energy, maybe some day we can bring back the dead to life”, wrote someone on LinkedIn. I found the thought interesting enough to pursue the logic. Unfortunately, it turned out that the said person suffered from mental health issues. Thoughts do emerge from deranged minds, but do not … Continue reading Color of Thoughts
