Compliance

The Exit sign is not part of a public place to regulate traffic, as one would expect it to be. The darned sign is a prominent part of office interiors, where other circulars on office discipline, compliance etc. are displayed. It is meant to remind employees that non-compliance leads to the door.   Three Line … Continue reading Compliance

They say it’s a virtue but at times a very testing one.

Cycles of the heart

in my province grass blooms too… cherry blossoms in partial shade, partial sun spring declares arrival tonight’s moon– how many mountains resemble the ones back home? my heart blossoms in the warmth thoughts of romantic nights shallow river– a dawn moon melons cooling promises of a season to usher in love and joy a babbling … Continue reading Cycles of the heart

Farther than the truth

The villagers are illiterate, and I often use shells to explain their liabilities. It is the business of a moneylender to maintain accounts. I’m the richest person in the village, and would like to maintain status quo. I have seen lifecycles of local residents from birth to debt to death, from prosperity to poverty, from … Continue reading Farther than the truth
