HOPE



Hope; is it,
a toy for the rich to tempt the poor;
a ploy for the resourceful to hook the needy;
I ponder.
Actually hope is,
the crusader of the unsuccessful;
the advocate of the downtrodden;
I rejoice.
Hope helps us break barriers,

and propels us forward.

AN ARTIST- PART 1

Why the moral policing? Kunal jerked his head , after all isn’t it my money and health, grinded his teeth . Who gives them right. “I know I am in the right.” he said the words out loud but no one heard it as he was alone in his workshop. See I have said it, then why do I still feel the pain in my head? From his position on the sofa Kunal looked at the bolted door, at that moment another thought spurred up. With fame comes great responsibility . The one constant advice he kept hearing all through his childhood to the initial years of adulthood. Was this the source of his discomfort? Was being a famous painter reason of his freedom to be being taken away?

As I disconnected the phone, a calm descended upon me. Declining the party invitation was significant as it came from one of my closest college friends. Actually going out and meeting new people was never my thing. In fact it was Rina, my ex-girlfriend, who wanted me to become an outgoing person. Initially I did; as some would say out of love! But as I think back those forced outings brought me only pain. The recent offer was not the first invitation that I had declined, but I hoped this refusal would serve as a marker for others. As word would spread that I had declined a party invitation from one of my closest pals. With that, hopefully in time they would stop bothering me altogether. And let me be in peace to mend my broker heart. So that once again I am free to pursue the hassle-free life of being an introvert, which I used to love before the pathetic thing 'love' happened to me.

ABSENCE OF WARMTH

Monsoon had replenished the valley and the visage presented a soothing effect to every eye. Water droplets assembled from last night’s drizzle sparkled when the first ray of the morning sun kissed it giving the illusion of a diamond studded blanket enveloping the region. Amid this lush foliage stood rows of concrete colourful houses either side of the road illustrating prosperity. Anyone who spared a moment to explore beyond the scenic beauty of the valley would observe a perfect synergy of progression and nature.    The community had seen rapid progress in the last twenty years with literacy rate increasing among both the sexes, natives learning advanced techniques of farming; which was their main occupation, developing markets and better connectivity with the outside world for better transportation. The air smelled of freedom of thought, the availability of resources and the optimism for success. Among this wave of progression stood an old palace akin a dinosaur....
