Space

It’s an exotic island with picturesque beauty spread out in front of her, and her eyes can’t stop gorging on it all. The scenic beauty makes striking pictures for social media, but there’s no device of any kind …. it was one of the conditions for her to own this island.

PATH

This is the most intriguing relationship.  You’ve never complained about being walked over, stamped on, trodden every day. You always take me to my chosen or desired destination.

Can you believe this was just before the advent of the Aliens? The Innocent did not know their lives were being taken over. Thereafter, they became specimens … Continue reading A new era

Colors beyond Rainbows

Rohann picked up his car key  and put it back for the umpteenth time. An answer awaits him at the other end, as promised by the seer, but he is not sure of the question yet.

Deja Vu

The topic of today’s religious discourse is  reincarnation and Karmic cycles.  “You have to  go through many cycles, if you don’t learn the lessons offered in a lifetime. Evolution occurs with self-improvisation and working on your soul,” says the guru. The words hit me as I take the sharp bend on this road. I don’t … Continue reading Deja Vu
