They used to be friends till they got infected, but did not inform the administration. They are supposed to be quarantined, but did they step out? I don’t step out and I don’t know, yet they are in the ring of suspicion. What will happen after the crisis ends? Can we be friends again? I … Continue reading Neighbour

She woke up with a start. It was the same dream once again. She stands alone on the banks of a river. The water has a reddish tinge, not blue. A red moon rides on the humps of the low river hills. The dark figure with multiple limbs is fast approaching her. A human turning … Continue reading Mysterious
Breakthrough … by Aishwarya
From darkness,
Light shines,
From silence,
Sound reverberates,
From emptiness,
Companions valued,
From ignorance,
Knowledge surfaces,
From frustration,
Action grows,
From necessity,
Inventions glorify,
From impatience,
Patience surges,
From hopelessness,
Hope evolves,
From nothing,
Everything develops.

We will best not, George Flloyd …. by VJ Knutson
Brazen with whiteness
four toads
exerted presence
cuffed and killed a man
“I can’t breathe.”
On the front lawn
of America
stripped of empathy
the leader knelt
Not in prayer –
reverence burns his lips –
he knelt with authority
or his version, venomous
Three looked on
ignored pleas
gloated in the horror
of life’s final gasp
Humanity’s blood
now cold
unleashing a scream
a primal, reptilian rage
The offspring
of oppression
and hate
uncoiling
Like snakes
nest disturbed
rising against injustice
burning down the walls
As The Man weaves
his tale of dissonance
casting lines of division
few listen..
Black Lives Matter
drowns the rhetoric
the breakthrough is complete
we can no longer look away.
(For George Floyd and all the others murdered senselessly at the hands of those commissioned to protect. Submitted to Reena’s Exploration challenge: breakthrough. Image my own.)

Breakthrough —- by judeitakali
Come! the ocean calls
Beyond that barrier reef
Across those jagged banks
Away from protections long used
For progress lies beyond your lonely peninsula
Enlightenment glistens from over the horizon
And hope drifts in currents unexplored
Come! your future calls
Outside your familiar
Where breakthroughs lie
Mankind lies on the threshold of harmony with nature.
A few bold steps to take
A legislation away
Beyond our fatal comfort zone
Breakthroughs await
For while we think, time wanes. – 6wordstory

I hear the term ‘bastardization of business channels” in corporate corridors and smile inwardly. People talking about it are responsible for bastardising talent or capability based systems in a way, that talent does not recognise itself. I guess the culture is getting at me, and simultaneously getting under my skin. It takes me more than … Continue reading Bastard Hall
Final Victory ….. by Shilpa Nairy
I just ran and ran without turning back this time. I could feel the heaviness in the breath and intense pain in the muscle but my gut feeling kept me going. Finally stopped to realise its getting dark. I can feel the heavy cool breeze hitting me. I could hear the surge of waves and tides.
I stopped. Took a deep breath and looked around.
Sigh!! Oooohhoooo. I made this year!
