VJs take on Exploration Challenge #123

There is a kid holding Rainbow in … Continue reading Rainbow
दुनिया को
You – oblivious of facts – cold
worlds know secrets untoldYou – known as a perpetrator
How do I call the world a killer?You – won’t cast a benevolent glance
Winning the world is a hollow danceYou- ask about my solitude
Tell me who comes to meet youGuilt of failure in love overruns
I recall being seen as competent onceOriginal Hindi piece below…
एक तुम हो जिसे अब तक नहीं ख़बर
ज़ाहिर है हमारा राज़-ए-दिल दुनिया को ।१।
सबको पता है किसने किया हलाक़ हमें
क्योंकर कहूँ मैं क़ातिल दुनिया को ।२।
नहीं हुई हम पर तेरी नज़र-ए-करम
क्या पाया जो किया हासिल दुनिया को ।३।
पूछते थे मुझे अकेले क्यों रहते हो
मिलना तेरा हुआ मुश्किल दुनिया को ।४।
हुआ जुर्म कि इश्क़ में नाकाम हुए अमित
लगते थे कभी हम भी क़ाबिल दुनिया को ।५।

Honestly, this open secret is not being very well kept.

french fries and mayo

oddball food combo

serendipitous
our destinies have crossed paths
awfully lucky
5.
Unbiased opinions do not actually exist.

Fluidity #writephoto
surfaces that change dimensions of existence enthuse as well as scare me reflections don’t speak the truth eyes that see twist me out of shape fluidity threatens but shows alternatives I need to see myself in a different way before others do https://scvincent.com/2020/02/20/thursday-photo-prompt-still-writephoto/
Concert of Life
“When the music reaches a crescendo, start firing and your job is done.” “Pleasure will be replaced by horror.” “Music keeps changing in the concert of life. Keep emotions in check.” “A terrorist has no choice but to do that. But there are moments he ‘feels’ reality, not just sees it.” The gunshot was silent, … Continue reading Concert of Life
Whose business is it?
“I’m not really impressed by what the speaker had to say. He was just looking for potential customers in the audience.” “But you’ve spent time, and a tidy amount on travel, lunch with your team and the books you bought there.” “It was a waste, but the onslaught of emails kept saying Claim your free … Continue reading Whose business is it?
