I thought that it would be nice to be on a yellow submarine where all my friends are and where Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts’ Club Band is playing.  The sounds of bubbles, water, and other noises can be heard as we pear out of the windows.  Most of the ordinary submarines don’t have windows for its occupants to look out and watch the undersea life, but this one was specifically built to party in.  People dance and everyone is extremely friendly with one another.  Look over there, I can see Buckingham Palace and Big Ben, as the sub flies out of the water.  That looks like one of those Blue Meanies wearing that navy blue woolly coat, those nasty creatures who hate music, now we have a mission to save Pepperland from them.

Those Meanies are known to eat the toys of young children and they fire their guns and…

Presentations

Posted on by Reena Saxena

“Presentations should be idiot-proof”, said an ex-boss I don’t remember too fondly. I couldn’t get why we needed to start every story from the alphabet. “Don’t insult the viewer’s intelligence,” said another glib talker who delighted in spewing management jargon, “they already know all this.” I agreed partially, while thinking silently that the terminology should … Continue reading Presentations

“I’ve been here before.” “Are you crazy? You have not travelled alone, and we’ve got you here for the first time,” hissed the mother to her teenage daughter. “There is a brown trunk in the last room. There are gold coins and jewels in that.” We walked ahead to check. There was a trunk, but … Continue reading Thresholds

You end up paying the price for your behaviour.

Ask me. I know only too well. All my life, I lived like a selfish savage. I never cared for any other person. I took what I wanted and lived my life to the fullest. Then it all ended. I paid the price for my exploits and I was sent to Hell. Then the war broke out. The forces of Heaven and Hell joined forces against a common foe. And we won. Strangely, I learnt the values of life in my afterlife, during a war. And yet again, I paid the price for my exploits. However, it was more of a reward this time.

I was allowed to crossover into heaven…

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #92

Prompt

Marriages are made in heaven

they say
then why it’s difficult to adjust
and linger on peacefully.
crossover to another culture, language, traditions
 food habits, also
music,
crossover from
semi-classical and Hindi filmy
to Ravindra sangeet
was difficult
but not impossible
if the will is there
given the proper time and space
or
so I thought
you plant a sapling in another place
give it water, air sunlight
and also
the time and the space to bloom
so why people forget that
no can change overnight to their culture and tradition
why women are expected to change
with the marriage overnight
very few people understand
the importance of
time and space

Potluck

Posted on by Reena Saxena

Her cooking was no match for the culinary talent on the potluck table. Embarrassed, she tried to pull out the white bowl and hide it somewhere. An interested pair of eyes met her gaze, as the strong, masculine hands took the bowl from her hand, “Hey, what do you have there?” A decade later, they … Continue reading Potluck

Stardust

Posted on by Reena Saxena

The star of yesteryears walks into a movie theatre, breaths in the ambience for three hours and walks out – unrecognized. He has done a cameo in the latest release. Box-office collections and publicity campaigns have gone digital. He doesn’t even have a social media account. He was uncomfortable about participating in promos. An artist … Continue reading Stardust
