“You managed to escape clutches, whenever a trap has been laid out for you,” said an ex-boss once. I thank him for his forthrightness. In a flash, I recognised the nature of the evil that doggedly followed me all my life - a desire of certain people around me in personal and professional circles, to … Continue reading Human blackholes
The person mentioned in this article, Dr. M.R. Saxena (my father-in-law) left for his heavenly abode on 12th April, 2019. A gentleman on his way out after the prayer meeting, stopped by the family to say this, “I’ve never seen a man as great as him, in 73 years of my life.” I do not … Continue reading Doctor beyond Duty
Black hole ...... by VJ Knutson
It instantly became a hot topic of discussion.
Getting a real image of a black hole all those years ago, was a real achievement back then. People had gone bonkers about it. In the years to come, scientists continually observed the entity, hoping to learn more about it. Which they did.
They learned that contrary to their studies, the black hole wasn’t expanding, it was moving. It was moving towards our solar system. That became the top priority for all space-age countries. They worked together to develop a means to combat it. The culmination of the research stands in front of you – Our very own black hole. It will soon be launched at the invading entity.
Fighting fire with fire….

‘Is where …. the hole’ ….. by Frank Prem
this is
the hungry heart
craving you
to slake a desire
fierce
so fierce
it is burning
this is
the burning soul
aglow
in the depths
of space
a spirit thing
in a place
that is all
of fire
hot coals burning
red and burning
yellow
dark spaces hiding
within
come within
the hunger awaits you
come
together
with your soul
come
within is the place
of worship
within
is where
you’ll worship
within is where
is where within
is
where
the hole

आशा की कोई किरण छूती नहीं
किसी ज़ज़्बात की अनुभूति नहीं ।१।
नहीं अब उम्मीदों का बोझ मगर
शून्यता का भार कम चुनौती नहीं ।२।
गुज़रती थी हर राह तेरी ओर कभी
अब कोई सदा मुझको बुलाती नहीं ।३।
हो जाऊंगा एक रोज़ यूँ ही फ़ना अमित
होता था मैं चिराग, अब बाती नहीं ।४।

It carries all that is personal and close to my heart. It is the vehicle on which I ride. It is nice and exotic but unreliable. It shows me the doorways, but not the path. it takes a different direction from where I want to go. Ironically, I ride on what I can’t trust. Life … Continue reading Unreliable

Zapped by blueness of the sky, and the sound of flapping wings, the little birdie puffs her chest and gets ready to fly. Her mother watches with concern, but makes no effort to help her. The first flight is not easy, but I see the tiny one up there on the window sill. She has … Continue reading Little birdie
