“Why should anyone want to shift these statues? They have been a major attraction for visitors to the museum, and pictures get splashed all across social media.” The Curator of the Museum was furious at unplanned moves. “Actually, Sir, we have shifted all the wax statues from the other side to another section….” The junior … Continue reading Whom do you work with?

This is what NLP practitioners call Version 1 (what actually happened) and Version 2 (what/how we remember and propagate ahead) of an incident.
hindsight so clever, but
perhaps of little value
actual occurrence blurred
by foregone conclusions
seemingly without qualm
and grave consequences
may lead to one’s demise

thoughts grow into words

I think of you, and poems sprout
A thought or couplets – all yoursI see you wherever I look
Are these thousands of forms – all yours?Let us divide the garden here
Give me thorns, blossoms all yoursEveryone I see has a broken heart
Are they infatuated or victims – all yours?How do I express, blame or complain?
Defence lines are tailored – all yours….Translated from original Hindi piece here
फ़िर आया ख़याल तेरा, फिर निकले आशार नए
ये ख़याल तेरा है या आशार तेरे हैं
जिस सिम्त देखता हूँ, तू ही नज़र आता है
तू ही बतला क्या रूप हज़ार तेरे हैं
चलो आओ करें इस गुलिस्तां का बॅटवारा
रख लो तुम फूल सभी ख़ार मेरे हैं
हर शख़्स लगता है मुझे चोट खाया हुआ
इस शहर में क्या सब बीमार तेरे हैं
क्या करे कोई तुझसे शिकवा गिला अमित
अपनी सफाई में बहाने तैयार तेरे हैं

Ideas and thoughts ….. By Radhika
How do ideas or thoughts to write come to you? Do they come in……
Like a thunder out of the blue, in a flash
and keys type in, at lightning speed?
Like the burning desert sand, under the scorching sun
the thoughts , vent out ,seething ire?
Like the caress of the halcyon zephyr in the azure sky
the thoughts compose beautiful verses of love?
Like the serene waters in deep meditative trance
the words seek to find an answer, beyond cosmic realm?
Like the dull foreboding grey monotone sky
the writings spill out melancholic odes?
Like a long forgotten idea in hibernation
thawed by the warm sunshine, blossoming into a beautiful poetry?
Like the sultry moonlight between the glitterati of twinkling stars
igniting an ardent passion of words, culminating in a union?
Like the downpour from the heavenly skies, nurturing life,
your thoughts ink to inspire and motivate mankind?

Thoughts and words …. by Michael
Sometimes I sit and think, and sometimes I just sit. (One of my mum’s favourite quotes).
Thoughts are often just flashes in my mind as they travel from one side of my brain to the other. They don’t linger long enough to form into words, but every so often, like with this prompt, those thoughts become words even though my mind is undecided as to which words it might select as appropriate.
Its what makes the process so deliciously attractive. The interaction of thought and word and the sometimes conflict they play out does, in the end, produce something you can be pleased with.
It doesn’t mean one wins over the other because so often we write our thoughts down, we believe we are hitting on a winner only to find…
