Harish broke all records in the examination. But you know what … I’d advised him to join X coaching classes. Harish has been a topper from the first grade. You saw their new house? I was the first to get arched doorways in this town, and now many have followed suit. Arched doorways have been … Continue reading You blew it
I Saw the Light …. by Jim Adams
My whole life flashed before my eyes and I knew that I was going to make my crossover into the Great Beyond. Death is a mystery and it can be terrifying, but I saw the bright white light and I was ready to meet my maker. I realized that I was dead and I wondered if anything would ever resemble reality any more. Should I follow the light and enter the tunnel, and would this lead me to an alternate universe? Blood was gushing out of me in the operating room, but all I felt was a peaceful glow. I heard the doctor say, “I have tried everything I am ready to call the code. Does anybody else have anything else. Okay then, Code called at 6:19.” That was when I crossed over.

Break the bonds – Tod do Bandhan – a Hindi poem by hecblogger in response to Exploration Challenge #92
तोड़ दो बंधन सभी
आ जाओ मेरे ज़ानिब
बन कर मेरे हबीब
न मिलो तुम मुझसे
कहाँ है यह वाज़िब
मिले तुम्हें मेरा रक़ीब
कब तक छलेंगें सपने
अब है यही मुनासिब
अपना लूँ अपना नसीब
बन गया काफ़िर अमित
हो तेरा खुदा हाफ़िज़
दे दो मुझे मेरा सलीब

The most peculiar thing happened on the eleventh of November, just as the snow had begun to drift down. The snow assumed a peculiar shape, like a man frozen in snow. Passers-by ventured ahead to rescue him, but the shadow was elusive for their almost frozen hands. An old lady stepped out of the crowd and … Continue reading The Frozen Man
Transcending …… a transcendental piece by kittysverses
The snow from the mountains,
Transcending,
The obstacles in its path,
Some providing catchments of sustenance,
And others doubling as scenic beauties of wonder,
If not for the snow shrugging its natural form,
What would the life beings on Earth do?
The carbon deposits,
Transending,
The thresholds of pain,
Some getting converted into modes of writing*,
And others converted into symbols of opulence**,
If not for the pain, where would our knowledge be recorded?
And symbols of luxury be exhibited.
The life beings,
Transcending,
The rigours of life, to be a better version of themselves,
Some adding to the colours, by being patient, empathetic, charitable,
And others by being strong, resilient, adaptable,
If not for the different hues,
Life would be devoid of spices and flavour.
The start of life,
Transcending,
Till its very end,
Is ever marked by one attribute, being constant,
The virtue of transition,

A female member of my extended family, who hails from a different community, has never made bones about her dislike for this side of the family. I had the misfortune of being at her place, when a senior member of the family departed for her heavenly abode. This lady is blessed with wealth and a … Continue reading Story of the Pulao
Her partner’s body lay in the coffin, she was dressed in black, but felt no emotion. She went through all the rituals wordlessly, except where the priest asked her to repeat a few words. A lifetime of being put down and constant mental abuse floated through her mind. She had prayed every single day for … Continue reading At last…
