I’m not in hiding. There are doors to the left, one of which will take me to the past. There is a road on the right, which goes straight ahead to freedom and bliss. The choice seems obvious. But what are these currents passing through, highlighting alphabets from a script? It feels as if the … Continue reading Swaying

More than a friend ….by Happy Soul
He looked deep into the eyes of his best friend! He knew he was in love all the way, but held back his feelings, locked it up in his heart! He was very sure there was love both ways. But what would the society say? How would Dad take it? Can he even understand my love story? Will he put my interests above the societal acceptance?
“I am in love with my classmate. I don’t have the courage to talk to you and so I took to writing this letter! His name is Raj! I hope you read the Internet to know more about homosexuals Dad. I’m one! You mean a lot to me and I hope you accept my relationship. It means the world to me. Waiting to hear from you first thing tomorrow morning”
He gathered all his courage and dropped the letter on his Dad’s desk

Stifled Progress …..by VJ Knutson
Nothing about the job intimidates him –
has lived the ups and downs of mental health –
besides, he cries for the children, abandoned
who jump from home to institution, lost.
Nods at warnings about attachment
knows all the drills of the hospital
feels certain he’s found his place –
is hit hard by the rejection
Seems personal experience, and the willingness
to speak the truth about stigma, shunning
and how many stay silent has no place
on a ward where old school rules.

Apni Baat – by hecblogger. English translation in Comments
बीती उम्र करते हुए बातें सबकी
चलो आज अपनी बात करते हैं
हुई मुद्दत अब तो खुद से मिले हुए
आज खुद से मुलाक़ात करते हैं
यूँ तो शांत हवा के झोंके से हैं हम
छेड़ो हमें तो झंझावात करते हैं
सीखा हमने हमेशा वफ़ा निभाना
हैं और जो अपनो पे घात करते हैं
है अभी बाकी हम में दम अमित
ऐलान आज हाज़रात करते हैं
In response to: Reena’s Exploration Challenge # 175
compounded thoughts illusions of grandeur depths of despair channels of complexity I take time to break those into basic elements put them together again in different combinations I’m stunned by the results so I repeat the exercise many times till I become a writer of some repute https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2021/03/06/weekend-writing-prompt-199-element/
Do you think it's possible, can I dedicate to a cause I don't believe in.... Can I love some one who has values those are not the same as mine? To a cause I don't believe in.... I send my deepest regrets those are not the same as mine. I like you for you mirror … Continue reading Reflections
Tessa Dean’s take on Xploration Challenge #175
Reena’s Xploration Challenge #175
A year back, the prompt on Exploration Challenge was “Woman”.
I decided to reverse it.
In this week,write a story/anecdote/non-fiction piece which does not involve a woman.
There is no restriction on length of the piece. There is no last date either, unless you wish to be featured in the Weekly Wrap.
The format can be fiction, poetry, art, photography, anecdotes, biographical sketches or anything that you can invent.

John stood on the sandy beach beside his trusty canoe and beloved dog, Harley, a red Irish Setter. He surveyed the river as he did every day before making the trip down the river to the lake it opened into.
He motioned Harley into the canoe where he went to the front and laid down on the cushions that were there for him to ride comfortably just behind the front seat. He put his…
