Much Ado About Something

A woman came into a good space She seemed quiet, unsure of herself… Today, the woman has a bone to pick She has quite a nasty tick Ideas galore, upmanship is the play Forming alliances she paves the way Groups of discord on the cards No care of the ramifications or the unkind barbs The woman wants her pot of gold Pooh-poohing the reasons of the simple code The woman has the beast on her side Groups enticed, join her with pride Eventually, the group will fall For now, they seem to be on the ball The woman and her group of misfits stage a coup The Innocent walked into their den without a clue No underhand tricks did the Innocent use The group was equipped, sowed their seed The gang of evildoers has no care for simple math They have created their own tone, a frenzied pact Objectives clear, battle lines drawn Any method suffices they say Remove the Innocent is the only way Explanations and reasons do not matter The remains - a crazed glaze with unkempt chatter...

The ashes remind me that I am fallible I am a mere mortal They let on that the season of Lent begins Ashes remind me that I am mere dust and shall return to dust They remind me that I, a sinner need to change I cannot go through life with blinkers I have to walk and take up my cross The ashes also signify to me that I am loved God loves me, and all His people The ashes let me know that the time for reflection is on They signify discipline They make me want to be better To give more and take less Be honest with myself The ashes tell me Lent is here The ashes remind me that Jesus died on the cross to save us The ashes tell me that God will always love us.

The best part of life is to bite into a slice of chocolate cake or anything chocolate. Don't you agree?

The New Year began with a bang like every New Year, while the world partied and brought in 2018, I was snoring away to glory. Honestly, I wanted to stay up and fight the sleep, dance my cares away and generally get crazy. The problem was that the eyes needed rest, the body had a mind of its own and while my mind told me that I needed to up the ante, I gave into the 75% and what a rest it was, a real goodbye to 2017. The rest of the day, however, was not as great as the sleep. I guzzled quite a potent mix of something that you may think is simple – a glass or two of wine. I guess I have been out of the boozing scene for a while, but this wine really hit me hard and I was out for the count. Managed to speak a bit but felt crazy sick and realized that while I love the taste of booze, this darn wine really did me in, and how! I, therefore, vow never to get into an inebriated state, coz I felt so damn stupid and sick for the very first time in all of my um… many years. So, instead of t...

A newly married girl went for a consult The doctor felt her up She was stunned She did not share the ordeal with her spouse Was she to blame? Was it her sin? She kept mum for a while Finally, she spilled the beans with the reliable referral in a group There was stunned silence The doctor was an elderly ‘gentleman’ How was it possible? She specified the gory details They heard her out They huddled together and discussed her story It was no ordeal, they chorused She was bluffing She wanted attention She was a person with a shady past, after all She was distorting the facts He was the best Spot on with his diagnosis She was making a mountain out of a molehill She was prone to drama “Let us ignore her nonsense and stick with him” The decision was unanimous She did not know they felt that way She never brought it up They brought up his name year later She realized that they continued to use his services She was disappointed She heard it from the grapevine y...

The #MeToo story has caught on and how, with girls, young women, older women, young boys, and men who feel the need to stand tall and say enough already! Guess we can talk about the number of stories doing the rounds, but what does one do, when one comes face to face with a creep with no way out? I would like to take a look at the number of men, women, kids, boys, and girls who have been abused for no fault of theirs, where some are going through the pain, and remain silent because they have no choice. Here are some true tales of sadness that engulf our lives because of perverts who cannot keep it in their pants, or get high because they feel that they have the power so they inflict pain. I do not want to go all-negative male because there are women who are terrible too. Case One Ratna (name changed) goes for an interview and after a series of meetings comes face-to-face with the head of the human resource team. He is on top of the food chain, with an amazing brain. Personally, h...

Went for a drive today and came across these beautiful flowers in Cubbon Park, Bangalore. I couldn't stop because of the traffic, but managed to snap these pictures. They give you a glimpse into the wonder, but seriously, nothing like the real deal.
