“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?
"Captivating image!" A few splashes of black and my imagination changed the scenario. A choppy sea and gathering clouds spelt doom earlier. Hmmm.. Is there a boatman somewhere? https://only100words.xyz/2020/02/20/three-line-tales-week-212/
In hours
Of discomfort
I go deep and drink from
The eternal well that springs up
Bubbling
Dancing
From the parched land of suffering
And find my strength again
My thirst is quenched
Once more
Apocalypse happens so often. All that one knows about a person falls apart, displaying a weaker or indifferent or sinister side. It makes people look like fools in their own eyes. Her pulse is feeble, and probably she is losing her hearing power. A voice seems to come from afar, but emanates from a white … Continue reading Diluted

Who’s wise? ….
by Aishwarya
Joy of unfiltered laughter,
Sharing, merriment thereafter,
Euphoria of giving,
Smile, the sign of living,
With such thoughts, creation materialised,
Currently left with a question, who’s wise?
Inside my shell, I seek relief,
No time to comfort each other’s grief,
A cherry wave, countered with hapless stare,
Talking to one another, is it anybody’s care?
Such attributes, man’s present disguise,
Currently left with a question, who’s wise?

Thoughts behind the poem :- Nature created us with attributes of laughter, cheer, sharing and other pleasant things, slowly we are forgetting them and hesitate even to talk to one another.
Brain on fire … by VJ Knutson
My mind is ablaze –
ideas churning
vying for recognition –
greed is ego’s bane
hogs the spotlight
but other thoughts stir
gentler, more insightful –
will remain in shadow
till a quorum empowers
artful expression.

“I’ll trust your judgement. A woman has superior intuition.” “We’ve peddled this theory for long. Actually, it is about a capability for lateral vision, something that men don’t have. We capture fleeting expressions in a nano-second, and it gives clues to the person’s psyche.” “I should be careful with my expressions, when I’m around a … Continue reading A Writer is Born
