Welcome to isolated times once again! Just when we thought a jab would immortalise us, the offending organism has hit back with greater intensity. We just might see a mutant version of humanity in the next normal. Long back, when a wave of Feng Shui swept the world, experts opined that one recharges at home, … Continue reading Reena’s Xploration Challenge #181
I take a walk down memory lane, and stop by the moss-covered milestones on the way. Why did they matter so much at that point of time, and why did they lose relevance later on? It was the dream of a child holding a balloon in hand, and wanting to fly, not knowing the competition … Continue reading Mossy stones

Stories held captive in a lockdown, are likely to change form later. The pressure they are subject to, will ignite rage within, and discolour facts. Rebellion will be an … Continue reading Repression
Freedom for her means only one thing - not being told what and how and when to do whatever she did. The acts she is reprimanded for, are not worth a thought to the saner people in the world. Like where and how should the dish-washing brush be placed, how much water should be used … Continue reading Freedom
She carefully walked down the stairs, into the lawn, and foraged around to find a particular type of blade of grass. I was infuriated to watch her eat that. “Don’t we feed you enough?” She was astounded for a moment, but came back in my arms in her usual, forgiving manner.
