Reena’s Exploration Challenge #Week 59

Welcome to Week 59! I have money on my mind. Putting odds and bits and people together to launch a startup called MoneyGoalz is occupying all mental space. There are times I think about taking a break from blogging, and then, think again that I need it as a diversion, to keep my sanity intact. … Continue reading Reena’s Exploration Challenge #Week 59

Needs

“My art has been praised in many circles, but it has not fetched me money,” I sensed a tinge of sadness in his voice, as he continued to stroke the canvas with his brush. It was beautiful to holiday at the same place where we’d first met, but Harry was now an embittered man. Yet, … Continue reading Needs

The Giver

Here, I am face to face with one of the evolved souls in the world, looking at me in anticipation…. I wonder if it is a sin to spell God the other way round, or should I just see it as the same stuff being put together in a different way. I know I’m very, … Continue reading The Giver

Ordeal

Sam does not understand  the concepts of dressing. The shoes are sexy, but need a matching handbag for a well-coordinated look. And then, that dash of red in the lip color and neckpiece will complete the look. I did not realize how long the very enjoyable ordeal was. I swear I did not hear any … Continue reading Ordeal

Door blown open

“I can’t believe the amount of muck being uncovered in the scandals.” “The beautiful door which covered it has been forced open. You know why?” “Tell me ….” “It is smaller than the hole it was supposed to cover, and the winds blowing outside are gusty. I can say that a storm was brewing for … Continue reading Door blown open

Moveable bridges

Foreign policy needs to be realigned.” “Bilateral trade will be affected adversely, our currency is devalued and unemployment is gnawing at the core of our economy. The opposition is waiting to pounce at our failure.” “If we don’t do it, our international reputation is at risk. … Continue reading Moveable bridges

Where does it originally belong?” “Holy fish… that cap?” “This is retail, not a diversity challenge.” (280 characters)   Twittering Tales #106

Parting shots

I fervently pray for time to stop, but know that it will not. The part of me I leave behind will be forgotten by those I care about today. It will claim its space in the subconscious –  netherlands of existence – that is where it is destined to remain. I was naïve to see … Continue reading Parting shots

Anaesthetized

I have been perched here on the roof for long, but I’m not immortal. I see life unfold around me every day, as people go about their business – in an anaesthetized, unthinking and inconsiderate manner. The urgency of their goals injects fear in me. I have this recurring dream – the world will perish … Continue reading Anaesthetized
