I wish I had skipped greatness. Devotees come with high expectations, and I have to live up to it- confined within rocky boundary lines. I replicated myself in the process of expansion. It’s not easy to grow at that rate. But I cannot move. I envy that tiny bird which flies in the sky, exploring … Continue reading Greatness
I don’t know why my parents filed annual report cards from school, certificates for extracurricular activities, photographs clicked ceremoniously on birthdays. I added peacock feathers, pressed leaves between pages, toys, diaries and books for keepsake. I plan to clean the attic today. I need space for my grown-up self. https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2020/04/04/weekend-writing-prompt-151-keepsake/
I hope and pray that all of you are safe and fine, wherever you are. I’ve been doing fine, loving the private space it gives me without ringing doorbells. We live in a gated community, which is isolated in its own way, but further restrictions have been imposed. Domestic help has stopped coming.

We can benefit from your wisdom, but choose to use derogatory terms about the size of your brain. Maybe it’s envy for your power to conquer the skies… Maybe it’s our … Continue reading Help me
“For how long do you think my old stubby fingers can hold up the cause? World peace is not sustainable. Earlier, people fought for patches of land. Then, wars were fought on sea and air. Now control strategies have got into the lungs of people. It cannot be eliminated, as long as the downfall of … Continue reading Stubs of a soul
Reena's Exploration Challenge #128 Welcome to a bit of exploration in lockdown times! I’ve decided to use text messages and posts, no videos or pictures, to reduce data usage and prevent a internet breakdown.

The brand storyteller rambles on incessantly, “Let the world know who you are and what you can do.” I feel the warmth when they think they have a new follower, but see expressions freezing when they see I can lead. “You are targeting the wrong set of people”, says my mentor. There is yet another … Continue reading Safety
All dressed, and nowhere to go... I float around, but am not allowed entry to any planet. It is the age of distrust, I hear... https://only100words.xyz/2020/03/26/three-line-tales-week-217/
