Professionalism

Whatever you term as rich experience also means that you have a mind of your own. We don’t really need people who can tell us what we should do. We have it all chalked out, and just need people to implement it. Efficient rookies you know, who can put themselves out on the block for … Continue reading Professionalism

Real Vacation

It was that time of the year again. The boys would be home from the holidays, and create a ruckus around the house. They drag me along for their silly games and picnics. I hate carrying heavy baskets all the time, and lounging on the prickly grass. The mug-heads think I enjoy picking up the … Continue reading Real Vacation

Little Star

Camera bulbs were flashing all around, but he was too busy enjoying his unexpected freedom. He was kinda used to the flashlights. Celebrity kids grow up with those. He was the hero of several fan clubs, Instagram and You Tube accounts, which he was unaware of. Technology, to him, meant pulling off Dad’s phone from … Continue reading Little Star

As common as ….

“You embarrassed me this evening.” “Really? I thought it was more of a disappointment.” “With what?” “Unfulfilled expectations ... you wished that I tolerate your boss’s advances, so that you could rise in your career.” “Do you want me to stagnate where I am?” “No – I just want you to remember that fatal instincts … Continue reading As common as ….

जलती भी नहीं

hecblogger's avatarPlaying with words

क्या अज़ब आलम है कि
आग लगाती हो मगर

खुद उसमें जलती भी नहीं ।१।

क्या गज़ब सी बात है कि
लुट गए हम पूरे मगर

तेरी कोई गलती भी नहीं ।२।

दूर कभी न जाने की
खायी थी कसमें मगर

हमसे अब मिलती भी नहीं ।३।

दुनिया होती कदमों में
पर तुम साथ नहीं अगर

मेरी कुछ चलती भी नहीं ।४।

क्या होगा अंजाम अमित
दवा असर न करती और

कोई दुआ फलती भी नहीं ।५।

She was tough. She was indefatigable. She was notorious. She was the boss of an outfit described as mercenary. Yet, the courageous woman reporter of a TV channel showed the gumption to interview her. What makes you tick? I learnt early in life that fire needs ignition, fuel and oxygen to burn. There are plenty … Continue reading Sun Burns

Reena’s Exploration Challenge – Week 48 – She walked through fire, but was not burnt by it

week-48THIS WEEK’S WORDS come from “Among the Rocks” by Robert Browning: gigantic, simple, bones, clear, bask, knows, knees, throes, ripple, gain, heap, earth

She walked through fire, but was not burnt by it
She took a gigantic heap and has won
Life’s a big adventure, she’s to admit
There’s always an action and reaction
What’s clear is she has to try and never quit
On this earth life is wonderful and fun
Bask in the glory and learn the lesson
Be in control and carry the burden

She kept on walking through the fire and how
She got burnt sometimes, throes of pain and hurt
Some ripples of ups and downs anyhow
Gaining or losing even with effort
She knows she can harvest what she has ploughed
Simple as that as long as she’s stalwart
She has got a bone of contention
She’s enjoying her life that’s for certain*
