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.

PILGRIM’S EMPATHY

Image
Light as a feature he flew through the air. Distant sparkling lights mesmerized him and he got glued to the artistic play of light. Everything happened at a slow pace, and he felt godly as he was defying the laws of physics. He cherished the sensation and geed the moment on to last till eternity; a blissful smile originated on his face. He knew he was living a dream but willed it to be true; then the expression on his face changed to that of surprise as he felt his body pulled down by an invisible force; a jolt shook his whole body as he fell hard to the ground with a thud. He heard cars screeched to a stop and a cacophony of human voices. A pungent smell violated his nostrils and as a reflex action he covered his nose but nothing happened, the smell was persistent. Nothing was visible his mind was cluttered so he collected his thoughts and forced himself to look; a strange array of colours appeared in-front of him. He deduced, I am in dream. He waited for dream to end and re...

ACT OF A RECKLESS MAN

Kapil had entered the age when opportunities seemed endless, restriction; playing safe and can’t do were mere words used by older generation or found in dictionaries. Life for him was a competitive adversary that threw obstacle after obstacle so that he was able to unravel the glorious prospects hidden in them.

At first everything went according to plan; he implemented some of his ideas and worked according to his set notions. Life was looking up; the world was his canvas and he like a master made whatever strokes he wished. In his period of success Kapil forgot the one constant of life; change. Everything went downwards after that which resulted in negativity entering his conscious. Kapil admired at his reflection, “can look good if you want” he said. Looking dapper in a grey coloured suit he was ready for his friend’s marriage party. This was pre...

STAINED

Vikram straightened his coat, and looked about the majestic bungalows situated on either side of the road. Opulence; was the word which came to his mind. He quickly wiped the precipitation formed on his forehead with the handkerchief. Wealth and its associated comforts always made him nervous; as they were contrary to the constant hardships and pains he faced and fought against throughout his life. Vikram took out an old worn out piece of paper from his breast pocket and read; 1002-C, Gulmohar Parks .  He observed the number plate of the bungalow in-front of him; 998, four more to go. His mundane life was jolted when his mother came out with the admission, your father is alive. This was contrary to the information, your father died in an accident; he had been feed since his childhood. By the time Vikram could process the information; your father is one of the richest men of the city; his mother added. The weight of information left him gasping for air as if someone had pu...
