Santa’s Badges
Dear Santa, Look back and think what did you bring last year, and what was the intent. You may well have the vaccine in your bag this year, but don’t wear it as a badge of honour. There has been enough destruction before your annual arrival. On the other hand, if there is a method … Continue reading Santa’s Badges

Lost hands
Lost hands ….. By Aishwarya
The skyscrapers of today,
Take a bow to the masterly architectural wonders of yore,
Brick by brick,
Flawless intricate designs that’s beyond imagination,
Crafted by those hands of magical precision,
Elicits awed exclamations.
Leaving behind their designs of wonder,
Cradles of civilisation,
Have evolved, survived, perished through tests of time,
Their legacy of creation still remains a testament,
Monuments that’d question precision of modern gadgets,
The magic in their hands
Created wonderstruck works of art,
When robots replace modern day man,
Magical hands cease to be?
Unprecedented victory of automation?
Awe dismantled.

My Take-
Not mere the inkblots
Each word choosen mindfully
Depicts emotions
State of mind of the writer
And the places where it dwells
Stilettos
Spending a fortune on a pair of high heels did not help much. The discomfort remained as with the lesser pairs, and I had it to pad it with cushions and toe covers, and practise walking on preciousness. I did think renting would have been a better option. But what if Prince Charming came looking … Continue reading Stilettos
