Confinement

The phone buzzes… someone wants to check on my well-being. I switch off social media notifications. The frequency is higher than normal. I like seeing the well-dressed news reporters on television. There’s a normal life out there somewhere – people dressing up for work, interacting, going live … I say my gratitude for the internet … Continue reading Confinement

Backbone

“Break, but don’t bend” was touted as strength in my childhood. My grandfather was seen as a strong person, and we shared a close bond. There is a family history of osteoporosis and spinal health issues from my maternal side.

It is what I have not achieved that … Continue reading Library of Imagination

Keep emotions in check.” “A terrorist has no choice but to do that. But there are moments he ‘feels’ reality, not just sees it.” The gunshot was silent, … Continue reading Concert of Life

Tremors

“I was hired to kill Princess Diana. They were people from the royal family. A confession cannot harm me at this terminal stage of life.” Nobody has been booked, as the contract killer did not reveal any name before dying. But the tremors of his conscience continue to disrupt the family. Another choice is made. … Continue reading Tremors

Temple of Thought

A temple reminds me of the Stoddard Temple, which Ayn Rand’s protagonist  Howard Roark built in her epic novel, Fountainhead. It was flat, it was spread out, it was meant to give humans the space to rise.  Then, I came across theories about reverberation of positive energy inside a dome-shaped structure. It explained why places … Continue reading Temple of Thought
