There was an intense discussion on ‘sunk cost syndrome’ in today’s meeting on business strategy for the next year. Her mind wanders off from excel sheets, as she applies the principle to her personal relationships. There is so much that has outlived its utility and relevance in the last few years. Growing apart is a … Continue reading Dried up

What an experience ….. by Radhika
Reena’s exploration challenge #160.
You go down in a lift that doesn’t stop for hours. When it finally opens, what do you see?
As a kid, the land of fairies and goblins, witches and demons, knights and palaces always fascinated me. I looked up in awe at the mythical characters with their super powers. Their gift to fly in the open sky or dive to the bottom of the ocean, save the princess in distress… ah the world of fantasy always enchanted me. Well, real life is poles apart from this utopian world. Growing up, this fascination got buried somewhere deep in my heart. Life and routine happened.
Exhausted after another long day at work, I headed towards the elevator to get home, praying that I would be spared by the serpentine weekend traffic. I pressed the parking level button and was catching up on the messages on…

Trapped ….. by Ramya Vivek
Never in my wildest dreams, had I ever thought that a day that would start off like any other day, would transpire into THE day that I would never forget in my life.

What deeper descent than this lift?

Falling
Falling
Our attendant
Lips pursed
Beneath brim of red hat
Offers no excuses
Only promises
Of a living hell
The doors open to reveal
A hell no different than
The last four years trapped with him
A swift kick out the door
A simple X on a ballot
And we leave him behind
What sweeter ascent than this lift?
Reena’s Exploration Challenge #160 offers this scenario:
You go down in a lift that doesn’t stop for hours.
