Unseasonal

An unexpected rainy day that brings in much-needed relief from the sultry weather, also dampens the farmer’s hope for a good year ahead. The enchanting view of rain-soaked buildings from a balcony changes, when one steps into a puddle outside and stains the all-white expensive summer outfit. Clouds that fly above the world know the … Continue reading Unseasonal

Black Bag

The long drive has not prepared him for this. He is armed with a map, fired by ambition and powered by mercenaries of a secret mission. It is a modern-day treasure hunt, which had to be executed offline, with online aids. The coveted secrets now appear to be so in-his-face. It is the black bag … Continue reading Black Bag

PROMPT

I am not a fatalist. I’m not obsessed with darkness. Yet, a landmark development in astronomy this week inspires me to remain on the periphery of the theme, but not get sucked inside.

mother said

put all your miseries
in a black hole
you have in your mind
find your own solutions
and learn from them
no use sharing with others
they will listen

as everyone has some problem
which they want to share
understanding other problem is difficult
so be a good listener
listen with attention
and
I’m listening
till now

Human blackholes

“You managed to escape clutches, whenever a trap has been laid out for you,” said an ex-boss once. I thank him for his forthrightness.  In a flash, I recognised the nature of the evil that doggedly followed me all my life - a desire of certain people around me in personal and professional circles, to … Continue reading Human blackholes

A gentleman on his way out after the prayer meeting, stopped by the family to say this, “I’ve never seen a man as great as him, in 73 years of my life.” I do not … Continue reading Doctor beyond Duty
