This is not a letter to Santa, as this is meant for the team of WordPress Happiness Engineers who from what I have heard are helpful individuals.  I would like you to pitch in and lend a hand to a wonderful blogger named Fandango, yes that guy with the paper bag over his head.  He is a very decent guy and he hosts a bunch of challenges to keep other bloggers busy and that is not an easy task.  He blogs on his iphone and one of your recent software updates has caused him a lot of trouble.  I am sure that you know all about this because he has written several post alerting everyone that he has contacted you and that you promised to work on this issue.  Please give him the assistance that he needs to remain the awesome guy that he already is.  If you can resolve…

Gerd Altmann at Pixabay “Dr. Diana, did you seek permission from the clients before hypnotising them, as per professional ethics?” “They are not sane enough to decide for themselves, but benefit from the treatment given.” “I understand you wrote “Fairies on the menu tonight” in the invite for Dinner with Diana, and dressed as a … Continue reading Nested

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #164

English translation here. Read original piece below

Spiced bytes served by news chefs
Newspapers on fire, readers bereft

Lost in their ego battles
Intellectual apathy rattles

Those who seek justice are locked up
Leaders, law-keepers unite, nation rocked up

Supporters of victims beg for mercy
Lose their net worth, see the fallacy

All those on whom expectations hinged
Sold out for lucre, hopes of masses singed

Do you think your tears will vanquish fires
Conflagrations will dry them up, and not tire

PROMPT #164

We hadn’t done a picture prompt for quite sometime, so here it is

मिर्च मसाला देकर खबरी  कैसी छापे न्यूज़ 

हाथ में आते ही अख़बार जल गये

बुद्धिजीवी और शुद्धजीवी जब मनमर्जी तब बोलें

अपना अपना अहम् लिए  बहसों में खो गए  

जो जो मांगे न्याय बंद सलाखों पीछे 

पोलिस नेता मिलकर कैसा खेल खेल गए 

मांगे न्याय आत्मजन परिजन देकर सच की दुहाई 

चप्पल घिस गयी जेबें खाली घर बार बिक गए 

जिनसे न्याय की आस लगाए जनता जोहे बाट 

वो तो कब के धनियों के गुलाम हो गए 

सोचा था आह औरआंसुओं से बुझ जाएगी आग 

दावानल कब बुझे पानी से आंसू ही सूख गए

“I have a clearer view of things now”. He was speaking with his eyes closed, and his favourite music playing in the background. “Are you ready to get the will registered?” His wife sounds impatient. “Not yet. But reading the book The Future of Your Money has given me immense clarity on what I would … Continue reading Summation of Life
