Welcome to yet another week! PROMPT #176 Our prompt this week has the potential to cover more than the written word. Think images, computer art, paints and brushes or a camera lens. Words are not going anywhere though, because that is what we are talking about. If you are a book, what will the cover … Continue reading Reena’s Xploration Challenge #176
His voice echoes through the valley - I spell the end of the Universe. It is a much feared voice - this Being knows no compassion or mercy - he drinks poison but survives, has deadly cobras coiled around his neck and carries a three-pronged weapon - Man, his journey and final destiny. He is … Continue reading Well-concealed
I’ve not been there with you from the beginning, and will not accompany you to the end. I’ll meet you at the point you abandoned your dreams, and opted for the comfort zone. See it as a storm, a whirlpool, a crazy flight or a journey- I will carry you to the point where you … Continue reading Imperceptible
I wake up with a start. I dreamt I had turned into an app, with a lot of books in it. Friends and family, all those who had earlier labelled me a bookworm, have downloaded me on their devices. Many of them will see me in that “Least interacted with” list. They love to have … Continue reading Weird Dreams

A tale from yore ……by Aishwarya
A mythological tale,
It may be from days of yore,
But oh my! What relevance it holds even in today’s time,
A story of grit, determination and perseverance,
Come one! Come all!
Hear me retell a tale from yore,
Of a little boy not more than five,
His provoking step-mother,
Ensured he was refused a seat on his darling father’s lap,
Dejected he was at first,
But didn’t let that get better of him.
With single minded dedication,
Started he a rigorous penance in the hope of sitting on his father’s lap,
Pleased with his prayers,
God appeared in front of him,
And not only was he granted a place on his father’s lap,
He ruled their kingdom for many, many years to come,
Was also bestowed a place for eternity,
In the skies,
As the Pole Star for everyone to look upto,
And that’s the story of Dhruva,

“Damn…”, he muttered under his breath, “the same cloudy skies making faces at me again.…” “Uncle Harry, it’s time to go home.” A tiny hand clutched on to Harry’s wrist. “No, not yet. I have to save her.” “There’s no one out there.” The child’s plea passed off unnoticed. Splash …. Harry jumped in the … Continue reading Guilt

The way down …. A decima by Sangeetha.
from mountain tops my journey starts
skiing, spraying powder white snow
sprinkling sunkissed glee on the go
skirting trees, through hurdles I dart
leaving footprints on nature's art sliding slopes till the day is done
living the moment on the run
falling in love with surrender
making a note to remember
the way down can be just as fun
