I see life like never before oxygen makes it presence felt always having remained intangible zig-zag lines on monitors pointers to heartbeats which stayed out of way being less than 20 decibels on the fringes awareness hits I worshipped loudness, ignored the gullible I feel ready to die to live again like never before rejuvenated … Continue reading ON LIFE SUPPORT
Digging – not too far
I’ve just joined a course on ‘A Year of Writing to Uncover the Authentic Self’, so your prompt strikes the right chord. Before this, I’ve attempted another course on Healing through Writing, and recommended it to many others. But certain parts are just too painful to write. One prefers letting bygones be bygones. It doesn’t … Continue reading Digging – not too far

Life lessons
I’d suffered from typhoid during my first year at school, and missed one paper from the first term examination. I can’t recall the fever or any other symptom.

Lite? No…
“Youtube shorts are the latest in the market, after Tiktok.” “How do I earn revenue, if there are no ads?” “You increase visibility first. The long videos can come later.” A month later…. “Dammit! That’s not what I intended to say.” “I guess something is lost in editing. I’ll relook.” Jack sounded sheepish. “Look here, … Continue reading Lite? No…
Discomfort
The loveseat made her uncomfortable, so she moved to the couch. The sight of thirteen nude figures on the loveseat upholstery added to her discomfort. Could it have been a better idea to sit on it, rather than watch it? Ughhh… Dining chairs are all in different colours, and the table has an undefinable amoeba-like … Continue reading Discomfort

“Modesty is the jewel of a woman”, they said. “What makes you feel threatened - the shine of my intellect or the capability to rule?” “This feminist line of thought….they want to change the world.” “How does it matter?” “We cannot track our lineage, if the female tribe is let loose. Power politics in the … Continue reading Lineage
