The Managing Director called for an urgent meeting of all designers in the company. “Hereafter, all baby clothes will have pockets and will be in all possible colours - not majorly pink and blue. Change the store layouts to make them more inclusive.” “Is there a new directive on Diversity and Inclusion?” “No. I’m bringing … Continue reading Grinning away to victory
His eyes turn red, and muscles tense up - the onset of another manic episode. The synchronicity is uncanny - it happens after he worships the picture of his dead parents.. It is time to leave … history and characters in it.
Very few people know that the much-eulogised greenery and ambient temperatures of this small town are a gift from my father. I take pride in being born to this humble auto-rickshaw driver who carried seeds with him, and planted some on the roadside, whenever he did not have a passenger to ferry. When I lost … Continue reading OBITUARY
Welcome to isolated times once again! Just when we thought a jab would immortalise us, the offending organism has hit back with greater intensity. We just might see a mutant version of humanity in the next normal. Long back, when a wave of Feng Shui swept the world, experts opined that one recharges at home, … Continue reading Reena’s Xploration Challenge #181
I take a walk down memory lane, and stop by the moss-covered milestones on the way. Why did they matter so much at that point of time, and why did they lose relevance later on?

Like where and how should the dish-washing brush be placed, how much water should be used … Continue reading Freedom
She carefully walked down the stairs, into the lawn, and foraged around to find a particular type of blade of grass. I was infuriated to watch her eat that. “Don’t we feed you enough?” She was astounded for a moment, but came back in my arms in her usual, forgiving manner. The stomach upset she … Continue reading Foraging wisdom
He’s charming. He showers praise on every little effort I make to keep the office machine running smoothly. Yet, I’ve a certain sense which reads between lines. Things can’t always be hunky-dory, so it made sense to accept that job offer which paid more. He doesn’t want to let me go, and is using every … Continue reading Personalities
This notification from WordPress infused a sense of warmth in me, two day ago. I’ve been disciplined enough to post something every single day in the last one year. In the past, the continuity broke in a few months, due to travel or connectivity issues. The last one year has any way kept us glued … Continue reading Reena’s Exploration Challenge #180
