THE ULTIMATE QUESTION

Heads bowed
Deep in thought,
People of all colours
Race; religions
Gender & background,
Gathered together
In the circle of life
Pondering…
Life’s ultimate question!
What is the meaning of it all?

Insulation

Posted on by Reena Saxena

An electronics research guide says, “I learnt a few subjects, excelled in some and mastered one enough to help others in their research. But one thing I could never decipher is why two people like or dislike each other.” Clearly, the theory of attraction or repulsion between nuclear particles does not apply to human interactions … Continue reading Insulation

Naivete

Posted on by Reena Saxena

He is declared the hero once again, the star performer being applauded for his superlative performance in sales. The announcement of a special bonus warms the cockles of his heart. He waddles through the corridors, unable to carry the weight of his pride. It’s an open secret that his networks are more powerful than the … Continue reading Naivete

Superstars

Posted on by Reena Saxena

The fading superstar reinstates himself by owning a cricket team. Writing cheques to buy superstars of sports is intoxicating. Rumours circulate that he chooses the cheerleaders himself. He is so sure they draw people to watch the events, much more than the performance of champions. The stadium is full, but his team is losing. It … Continue reading Superstars

Irrestibubble is an aerated chocolate, and cream cakes are naughty but nice. Prospective buyers see innocent faces of kids in these words. The copywriter who coined these terms is proclaimed guilty of sacrilege, and fatwas are issued against him. He survives an assassination attempt, but is stabbed again just before a scheduled lecture at Chautauqua, … Continue reading Literary Artist

A Question Dropped

Posted on by Reena Saxena

A question diverted ….. by Aboli Mane

Aboli Mane's avatarA Writer In The Room

A question 
dropped in the middle
of the discussion 
left the room stunned

They sat in a circle 
wide eyed; astonished 
forced to acknowledge 
the elephant in the room 

An imposing creature
impossible to ignore 
an hour wasted in 
an intellectual diatribe 

While pragmatism 
glared scorchingly 
in ruthless silence 
at the gathering

Written for Reena’s Xploration Challenge #268.

I’ve tried to remain vague on purpose about what the question is, it can be anything you want it to be. I did not want to break the image of a colorful gathering staring at a black question mark, but this is my attempt to explain it.

Thanks for reading 💕
