Concepts not clear

“He spent his life for the good of the community, but couldn’t find time for his family …. no wonder the family has grudges, while the world eulogises him.”  Harriet was reflecting after attending the funeral service of the doctor. “No intention of taking away from his goodness, but he failed to separate ego from … Continue reading Concepts not clear

Freedom

“I see bare branches dancing in the light, shorn of leaves. You missed the beauty of natural surroundings.” Sandeve was actually missing his wife. “You know what, Sandeve! I danced alone yesterday.

Strategic campaigns

“The electoral campaign strategy looks good, but what if public opinion sways to the other side?” “If it does, the strategy is not good.

We are no good without followers, and everything should … Continue reading Strategic campaigns

One up

“Take care, Harry! There’s a shredder in there.” He stepped back in a reflex move. “Don’t worry about your limbs. It shreds egos.” “When will you stop spinning stories?” “I already did. Might throw away the paints and brushes too…” “But why?” “I come here to accept defeat. I can’t replicate the original artist.” “Hmmm… … Continue reading One up

How?

Tamsin’s heart drummed frantically. She tore through her pack, her books, and the messy desk. Where was it? She had spoken to a forensic expert, but the will was missing.
