Filtration

People see what makes sense to them, reality notwithstanding. I find myself visualising and counting the boxes inside their mind, and sadly watch the gist of what I say fall through the cracks. It hampers communication for sure. I start saying something, and then stop - knowing that it will fall between the cracks or … Continue reading Filtration

Lost

A compass to help me navigate through labyrinthine corridors of the mundane ….. un-peeling layers of incisive thought Maybe, I’ll never get lost again after that…. never be blamed for not having a sense of direction for not remembering routes I pass through every day for the mind will be less busy more focussed on … Continue reading Lost

Connecting forces

staying connected is just a game of physics Did you ever think our souls are just energy which link to the ground or stars and play games with each other https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2021/03/19/woodstock-challenge-178/

Not needed now

This is a topic I can’t have fun with. The women in my father’s family (his mother, sister and nieces) were beautiful. They looked like marble statues with their alabaster skin and chiselled features.  My grandmother would often say with great sarcasm to me, “You look like your mother….have not taken after this family.” It … Continue reading Not needed now

Crowd

A crowd gathers to see who has the courage to put their innermost self on display. The crowd is curious to know how they can support, oppose or shred it to pieces. The crowd engineers multiple stories from a single, thread bare fact, and sells it to stakeholders. Both the viewers and viewed are within … Continue reading Crowd

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. How would she prove that it was tampered with? She opened her laptop to check the scanned copy. It was there. But did forensic science … Continue reading How?

Weird Dreams

I wake up with a start. I dreamt I had turned into an app, with a lot of books in it. Friends and family, all those who had earlier labelled me a bookworm, have downloaded me on their devices. Many of them will see me in that “Least interacted with” list. They love to have … Continue reading Weird Dreams

Reflections

The Witch

I decided to have fun with your prompt. "Did you notice the changing color of my skin, and small protuberances from my ear?" "What's bothering you, Jack? You seem to be upset." He did not look up from his phone. "Alan, my wife is a witch." I felt my voice quivering. "Wait till you see … Continue reading The Witch

Lite? No…

“Youtube shorts are the latest in the market, after Tiktok.” “How do I earn revenue, if there are no ads?” “You increase visibility first. The long videos can come later.” A month later…. “Dammit! That’s not what I intended to say.” “I guess something is lost in editing. I’ll relook.” Jack sounded sheepish. “Look here, … Continue reading Lite? No…
