REFLECTIONS
So, you've started life in New Year 2023. It may feel like you've stepped in a new life. It may feel like a continuation of the life you've been leading. The last few days do offer a chance to reflect. Personally, I hope the reflections and conclusions stay with me. I share a few nuggets … Continue reading REFLECTIONS
Lanterns ~ a sijo
Lanterns …. a Sijo by Sangeetha
Lanterns, ferrying wishes between worlds, bob in navy blue skies
Truth uncovers a new way out; hope recovers in new sunlight
Dawn speaks shyly to Midnight; there is no end to beginnings
Mindfills for Ronovan Writes Sijo ~ recover; Reena’s exploration challenge ~ The best and the worst…It’s time for the bubble to burst.
Is it only Iran?
The revolt against Mahsa Amini’s death in Iran started in September this year and is still going strong.
On December 20, the Taliban imposed a ban on higher education for women in Afghanistan. Protests are on, and I wish it doesn’t stop.
Wherever there is war, we hear about women being raped, and that includes Ukraine in Europe. This is disheartening since the best places to be a woman are in Europe (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Switzerland) and Canada.
WHAT LIES AT THE ROOT?
I wonder why women’s independence makes powerful men feel insecure. Why do they feel threatened by a free society where everyone has equal rights and opportunities?
Is it guilt and the consequent fear of revenge?
Do they see women as a possession, which will be usurped by their rivals and enemies?
Whenever a crime against a woman happens, I see her being blamed for crossing boundary…

Basements
Another calendar gets ready to walk down the staircase, slowly and silently to the basement. Will it be surprised to meet others of its own ilk, separated by digits. I guess not, for they’ve always been interlinked - stories, thoughts and ideas are not separated by numbers. The imposed frameworks of dates relegate them to … Continue reading Basements
Infatuation
There’s an unprecedented chill in the air, and the ground beneath his feet is unusually cold. “Why are you roaming barefoot in this weather, young lad?” The old man’s voice breaks his reverie. The whiff of perfume, swish of a silk scarf, charm of a smile and beauty of a face is firmly in the … Continue reading Infatuation
A Bad Deal
She has to wait in a queue for her turn, before the valet takes the car away to the basement parking lot. Then, the female security guard will check her person with a scanner, while her bags travel through the conveyor belt and reach her. The guy waiting for her in the lobby had apprised … Continue reading A Bad Deal
Power Of Love #tetractys
Power of love ..by Jane Aguiar
Love
can be
the best and
worst part of life.
Love has the power to either settle life
Or lead you down the road to hell with love.
It’s time to change,
the law of
nature
is
change.
Secrets
sing at any
moment so no
one waits for the bubble to burst in love.

1. https://writershelpingwriters.net/2020/02/5-mistakes-to-avoid-if-you-want-to-finish-your-book/ “You begin with a wave of excitement. A new book holds so much promise. Then somewhere along the way, something changes. The story gets more difficult. It takes longer to finish a chapter or even a page.
And then suddenly you’re in the middle of the book and you’re stuck. Before you know it, it’s been weeks or even months since you’ve written a word.
Your project dangles dangerously on the precipice of the giant wasteland known as “unfinished manuscripts.”
You must not allow this to happen! If you do, you become one of those writers who don’t finish their projects. We never hear about them.” Keep on even if you think it’s the worst thing ever written. You can always edit. You can’t fix a blank page.
