Bharam Tera – Amit Agrawal’s contribution to Exploration Challenge #90. English translation in Comments section.
न मिलती तुम मुझसे
कर देती कोई झूठा वादा
रह जाता भरम मेरा ।१।
बचा कर दामन अपना
कर दिया मुझको मशहूर
क्या कम है करम तेरा ।२।
जलाकर सपने सभी
अब पहचान पाया हूँ मैं
मिज़ाज है गरम तेरा ।३।
ऐसी भी क्या रंजिश जो
तड़पता देख कर मुझको
आनंद है चरम तेरा ।४।
सहकर सारे ज़ख्म अमित
नहीं किया शिकवा कभी
यह तो है धरम मेरा ।५।

Plop! She woke up from her reverie with the sound of a ball creating a splash in the bucket. Her toddler was at the game again, and the two older ones about to return from school. She rued about the disappearance of eight years of her life, as she lay the table with snacks for … Continue reading Being Mom
Compromise – Michael’s contribution to Exploration Challeneg #90
“I’ll show you mine if you show me yours?”
We were six years old at the time.
“Is that it?” I exclaimed after she’d dropped her pants.
“Is that it?” she retorted upon seeing what I had to offer.
Boy and girl bits, we decided were best left in our respective pants.
Six years later we’d grown some
Puberty was hitting us both,
Her chest was starting to bulge
I was beginning to have stirrings in my pants
Our parents had warned us about treating each other ‘Inappropriately’,
As they put it.
For us, compromise took on another form
She wanted to play in my team,
My mates didn’t like the idea,
She was a girl, after all.
But she could hit a ball better than most of us,
So, she became an asset.
Because she was so good,
My neighbour, insisted on having an extra team member
When she…

Not Compromise —– by thoughtsaboutthings
There is a line that should exist
In every relationship.
Opposites may attract,
which is okay if
one person is not required
to lose his identity
to satisfy the other.
This is not compromise.
It is annihilation
of personality.

Beckie’s piece – Compatibility – in response to the Exploration Challenge!
Welcome to Week 90!
PROMPT FOR THIS WEEK
The word ‘compromise’ is just a theme. It need not appear in the piece. There is no harm if it does appear, or a synonym. The choice is yours.
(Haiku)
No two people are
completely compatible,
they must compromise.

Exxploring the (com)promise ..... by Deepa Karthik
Compromise ….. Sadje’s contribution to the Exploration Challenge!
Do we always get what we want
There are many desires which are
Left unsatisfied, unfulfilled in life
Many an occasions we have to
Make a compromise, an adjustment
There is much fun in using a substitute
If the one we want is not available
Be adaptable, be flexible in choices
But never do compromise in important things
Like principles and people you choose to love
Not in accepting less than what is your worth
Welcome to Week 90!

I will work with you
“Breathe in, breathe out, you’ll be okay.” “I’ve been doing that all my life, so, don’t give me that crap. ” She sounds offended, so I decide to change the topic. “Did you see Mrs. Kapoor in hospital on the way?” “Yeah, I did meet her son, but she is in a coma.” “There is … Continue reading Exercise
Indira’s contribution to Exploration Challenge #89
sad, depressed, heart-broken
wandering along the seashore
calm, cool, soothing water
invites
I take a dip in the sea
water tastes like my tears
waves caress, wash traces of tears
whisper in my ear ‘don’t break down or bow out
be like us
carefree and courageous’
I surrender
Floating with the waves
Time stands still to watch
Wind sings lullaby
