Fog

The damp fog refused to burn away, eating up their street until the suburb became still and their house an island. This quote knocks at her creativity. The message from her friend looms large on her mind, “The tainted woman CEO of …. Bank is not so bad a person. Her husband is the real … Continue reading Fog

Cooking and Poetry. A Moment of bliss (Valentine special)

Cooking and Poetry – a moment of bliss …… by JudeiTakali

judeitakali's avatarTales Told Different

True bliss happens in a moment of time
Frames or scenes we can never forget
A taste, a touch, or a fragrance
Sought and found, but never bound
How deep must we all delve
How high must we climb
To find the joys
And pleasures
Of that
Bliss

.
Wielder of my heart
On a day when bliss is close
Be my Valentine
.

For love;
A meal for two
Glazed in sultry romance
Tender with subtle surprise
Luring

On this day;
Something rich but cultured
Fun but thoughtful
Flexible yet neat
“Honey glazed lamb and sweet potato chips”

Sweet potato chips and Thai basil

Sweet Tatoes
Soaked for half an hour
Towel dried
Creamed in spice
Pepper, Paprika, Garlic
Loved at every stage

Baked for 20mins, then laced with fresh Thai basil, or a favourite green veggie.
Fun and crispy yet tender and soft within

Honey glazed goat/lamb…

वक़्त की दहलीज़ पर

Excellent poetry sometimes comes in a language we have not learnt.

I make the task easier for you with this English translation. Find the original Hindi poem below

Suffer humiliation in your space, but
I wait – on the threshold of time

Give me remnants of a stale moment
I ask – on the threshold of time

Why did I not value you before?
I think – on the threshold of time

The one who kicked the world to action
today crawls – on the threshold of time

If there is justice in His court
We’ll meet – on the threshold of time

hecblogger's avatarPlaying with words

होकर बे-आबरू तेरे कूचे पर
बैठा हूँ वक़्त की दहलीज़ पर

दे मुझे एक टुकड़ा बासी लम्हा
माँगता हूँ वक़्त की दहलीज़ पर

न की पहले कभी कदर तेरी
सोचता हूँ वक़्त की दहलीज़ पर

था ज़माना ठोकर में जिसके
रेंगता है वक़्त की दहलीज़ पर

गर नहीं उसके घर अंधेर अमित
मिलेगा तू वक़्त की दहलीज़ पर

Changing Face of Time!

Changing Face of Time …… by Radhika

Life took its first breath eons ago

traversing on its path of evolution since.

A multitude of changes ensued,

with time, the only constant.

This journey witnessed a change in man’s perception of time,

from sceptical approximations to a profound science.

With concrete theories postulated about its origin

measurement of time evolved too.

A day seemed to have a lot more time then,

relaxed carefree moments, now only a memory.

Days and years, a lose connotation of time in history,

is now dissected to milli, micro and nano seconds,

precision being paramount.

Today time’s shadow, has eclipsed man’s life.

His journey from the cradle to grave

is a constant run against the clock

that oscillates between the hanging dagger of time.

Passages

Passages ….. By Susi Bocks

Susi Bocks's avatarI Write Her

time ticks by second by second
flowing into the next hour
as it leads one to days
days become weeks
weeks turn into years
and years eventually become our end

every being experiences
the components of time
but will they be blessed with romance
or suffer with strife
choosing to engage heartily in joyous emotions
or be reduced to overflowing tears

will they experience all things possible
mentally, physically and emotionally
in the journey they embark on
or will their life’s moments feel like a burden
in the seconds, hours, days, weeks and years
before time has run out

Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #172 – Components of Time

Understanding Time

Understanding Time ..by Jim Adams

newepicauthor's avatarA Unique Title For Me

Electrons are always moving.  They spin very quickly around the nucleus of an atom.  As the electrons zip around, they can move in any direction, as long as they stay in their shell.  Electrons can move in any direction you can imagine.  Electrons are constantly spinning in those atomic shells and those shells, or orbitals, are specific distances from the nucleus.  A guy named Schrödinger started realizing that all electrons weren’t the same and they didn’t move in the same way.  The mathematics describing the vibratory patterns that define the states of atoms in quantum mechanics is identical to that which describes the resonance of musical instruments.  Eventually it was found that all forces in nature can be classified into four types.  The gravitational force holds together the universe at large, plus the atmosphere, water, and us to the planet Earth.  The electromagnetic force governs atomic level phenomena, binding electrons…

We need to make radical efforts to counteract the DNA impact, and develop new methodologies.” “Everything I say today has been said before….just that I don’t know who said it and when.” “Nature’s effort will be wasted, … Continue reading Quotes
