“You embarrassed me this evening.” “Really? I thought it was more of a disappointment.” “With what?” “Unfulfilled expectations ... you wished that I tolerate your boss’s advances, so that you could rise in your career.” “Do you want me to stagnate where I am?” “No – I just want you to remember that fatal instincts … Continue reading As common as ….

क्या अज़ब आलम है कि
आग लगाती हो मगर
खुद उसमें जलती भी नहीं ।१।
क्या गज़ब सी बात है कि
लुट गए हम पूरे मगर
तेरी कोई गलती भी नहीं ।२।
दूर कभी न जाने की
खायी थी कसमें मगर
हमसे अब मिलती भी नहीं ।३।
दुनिया होती कदमों में
पर तुम साथ नहीं अगर
मेरी कुछ चलती भी नहीं ।४।
क्या होगा अंजाम अमित
दवा असर न करती और
कोई दुआ फलती भी नहीं ।५।

She was tough. She was indefatigable. She was notorious. She was the boss of an outfit described as mercenary. Yet, the courageous woman reporter of a TV channel showed the gumption to interview her. What makes you tick? I learnt early in life that fire needs ignition, fuel and oxygen to burn. There are plenty … Continue reading Sun Burns
THIS WEEK’S WORDS come from “Among the Rocks” by Robert Browning: gigantic, simple, bones, clear, bask, knows, knees, throes, ripple, gain, heap, earth
She walked through fire, but was not burnt by it
She took a gigantic heap and has won
Life’s a big adventure, she’s to admit
There’s always an action and reaction
What’s clear is she has to try and never quit
On this earth life is wonderful and fun
Bask in the glory and learn the lesson
Be in control and carry the burden
She kept on walking through the fire and how
She got burnt sometimes, throes of pain and hurt
Some ripples of ups and downs anyhow
Gaining or losing even with effort
She knows she can harvest what she has ploughed
Simple as that as long as she’s stalwart
She has got a bone of contention
She’s enjoying her life that’s for certain*

During a session in neuro-linguistic programming, she was asked to imagine the peak of happiness, and visualize being swathed in golden-yellow light. It was like a magic bulb she was supposed to switch on in depressing moments, to migrate to a different mindset. It seemed like quackery, then. Fifteen years later, she had lost her … Continue reading Yellow tent
A beautiful fib …
love

but a
river of
fire no one can

But we had to bid goodbye- It was only a trip, my workplace friend! We shared the latest news analysed all possible views a shared background in … Continue reading The WorkPlace Friend

the moments we take

How many shadows

for dVerse Poets’ MTB: Punctuation and enjambment in poetry (pubtended by Bjorn)
and my own #Haikai Challenge #44 (7/28/18): Cicada (Semi) #haiku #senryu #haibun #tanka #haiga #renga
This is an abridged version of my poem, Black Holes in the Brain, showing the effects of Alzhiemer’s disease on a person. During the stressful transition from independent living to confined living the confusion for my father-in-law was greatly increased. I posted his Wandering/Wonderings earlier this week.
Bjorn from d’Verse~Poets Pub asked us to consider the use of punctuation in poetry. It helps shoe line breaks and increases flow for the reader. This one is full of punctuation. It was written four years ago after working through this difficult transition.
Black Holes In My Brain
“I have come to discover that I now have black holes in my brain.
Spaces of emptiness that never get filled.
Like the holes in my pants pocket the memories slip out…”
“Oh, you are here? Well I didn’t realize! When did you get here?
You have been here a few weeks? Well I didn’t…
