Manage publication of MIS reports accordingly.” Maybe I looked unconvinced, as his voice grew cold and ominous, “Don’t you think this is necessary?” “Er …No, I don’t think so, but there is no choice,” I stuttered. “Realign your mindset, as … Continue reading Always Right

FROM RAT TO CAT
By Neel Anil Panicker
“You are a cat. Not just any ordinary cat. The big one. The biggest of them all. A true blue Royal Bengal Tiger. The best and the rarest breed to inhabit the whole wide world.”
Saumik began to feel dizzy. His head started to swirl. Blood began to drain out of his face and limbs.
He felt his legs and limbs go limp.
All this not out of fear or pain. But out of shock.
So far no one, not one person in his entire life so far of over two score years on Mother Earth had ever said so many wonderful words of appreciation for him.
A tiger. They were calling him a tiger, that too the best in the business. From a lowly rat to a majestic tiger__that’s quite a paradigm shift. How quickly the wheels…

He bid good-bye to her with a heavy heart. God alone knew that he still loved her. They had obtained their divorce decree today. Counselling had not helped. She would be back to her recalcitrant ways within a few days. He could not carry the financial burden beyond a certain limit. “I’ve lost the rights … Continue reading Parting
I asked the feet which carried me, “How exhausted are you?” “I carry a lot more than your weight, but nobody has ever asked.” “We take every step together.” “And you protect me from wear and tear.” “We have a thankless job, but together we have conquered mountain peaks and crossed milestones.” (52 words) … Continue reading Partnership

life changes with the gap between what was planned and what actually happened the irony of dreams. In other words, changes at Patricia's Place
tiny petals all bunched together like wild desires Heeding Haiku with Chevrefeuille at MLMM
A good account of how a choice is made,and thereare no regrets about it.
Slowly I’m dipping into abyss
Made of memories, lies, promises foolish
Remaining afloat is the wish
But, it is these calls that my soul kiss.
The kiss that is wet, that is poisonous
At the same time a matter of hush
So that when I burn in pyre no words rush
Saying a kiss killed me, a kiss alas.
The garden that I sow shall bloom
For weeds there’re no room;
Gardener take care of my pride
But, don’t take a ride of pride.
Because love was all I had given,
Water & care all you have given.
Slowly I’m dipping into abyss
Scattered, lost, disbanded are all my wish.
