Apni Baat – by hecblogger. English translation in Comments
बीती उम्र करते हुए बातें सबकी
चलो आज अपनी बात करते हैं
हुई मुद्दत अब तो खुद से मिले हुए
आज खुद से मुलाक़ात करते हैं
यूँ तो शांत हवा के झोंके से हैं हम
छेड़ो हमें तो झंझावात करते हैं
सीखा हमने हमेशा वफ़ा निभाना
हैं और जो अपनो पे घात करते हैं
है अभी बाकी हम में दम अमित
ऐलान आज हाज़रात करते हैं

Tessa Dean’s take on Xploration Challenge #175
Reena’s Xploration Challenge #175

A year back, the prompt on Exploration Challenge was “Woman”.
I decided to reverse it.
In this week,write a story/anecdote/non-fiction piece which does not involve a woman.
There is no restriction on length of the piece. There is no last date either, unless you wish to be featured in the Weekly Wrap.
The format can be fiction, poetry, art, photography, anecdotes, biographical sketches or anything that you can invent.

John stood on the sandy beach beside his trusty canoe and beloved dog, Harley, a red Irish Setter. He surveyed the river as he did every day before making the trip down the river to the lake it opened into.
He motioned Harley into the canoe where he went to the front and laid down on the cushions that were there for him to ride comfortably just behind the front seat. He put his…

Chucking a brand-new laptop into the family swimming pool to see if it was indeed waterproof, to barking into the phone to call the domestic help to raise the curtains that are two feet away from the bejeweled GenZ hand, to deliberately smashing a new phone after a fight with the parents. These are just some stories of kids in a premier Delhi school known for its fleet of uber luxury cars in the morning and early evening school drop and pick up hours. As one cohort of the younger millennials and early gen Z move toward the mid to late 20s, there is a worried group of parents who are watching in mounting horror at what their deeply lovedraja betasandrani bitiyasare turning into. Bored, woke and high maintenance who need brands, clubs and luxury holidays to just survive, this…

My friend who is diagnosed with breast cancer tells me, sweet potatoes are anti-carcinogen. She has them baked, every day. I don’t relish it much, so try a sweet potato pudding with thickened milk and sugar. It turns out well, but sugar releases free radicals, which can induce body cells to go berserk and become … Continue reading Sweet Potatoes
The Gamble ….. by Radhika

AK was known for rebellious temperament, who always enjoyed swimming against the tide.
Against everyone’s advice, he invested a huge sum of money in an extravagant commercial Bollywood movie, with only a male cast.
Would his gamble pay off?
