‘This is scary. The world below looks so distant.” “Really? Have you looked above?” “No. What’s up there?” “The people on those seats have gradually disappeared. Now, what appears close to life?” Photo Challenge #224
Up there
Passing thoughts
“The water we consume is centuries old, and has been recycled millions of times,” blares the radio in the car. Shades of green trees make me think if they will outlive me, with the help of these raindrops. It feels good to be driving through eternity. (250 characters) Twittering Tales #95
Despair at the lowest end
This is not a shoe shop. It is my wife’s dressing room, where she has spent a major part of her life. She developed pain in the knees, and I am compelled to sort out the ‘healthy’ ones with a balanced mind. I despair at the money outflow, as I spent my life engrossed in … Continue reading Despair at the lowest end

Water objected, “I need to save the life inside from the outside world. So, the inmates cannot be in full view.” Sky intervened, “I cannot let the Gods be corrupted. Godliness needs protection.” … Continue reading Shades of transparency

Acid rain, insect poop, burning of solid waste in the open, underground construction would all impact … Continue reading Complexity of Art

Shadowy deeds
Reflections in the glass, and the shadow of each leaf had a different story to tell – about the visitors to this side of town. It was not a very busy street now, except for that fateful night. An army stormed in to destroy all human life in sight, but took nothing. Did they come … Continue reading Shadowy deeds
Strange
You are like the breeze – always with me not leaving footprints, but I can see She sang on the recording device she always carried. The guy watching her from a distance thought that the footprints visible were too big to be hers. He looked around, but strangely, saw no other people or footprints on … Continue reading Strange
