Abandon The Solitude

He was happy with his beautiful wife,
and enjoyed a carefree & blissful life.

Like a butterfly on a flower, I was present on every date,
fluttering and witnessing everything lovely and intimate.

I visited the Bolt Arenas in two cities- Bhubaneswar and Kolkata to feel and discover the Bolt.

For my maiden Bolt darshan, I visited the BMC Bhawani Mall in Bhubaneswar, India.

Death And Bollywood Movies

“Maut se kya darna, usey to aana hai;
Do din kee hai zindagi;  hume apna farz nibhaana hai”

-Lyrics of a song from the Hindi movie- Patthar Ke Phool

English Translation:  

"Why fear death, it has to come;

Life is of two days (short); we have to do our duty."



As a child, I watched the Hindi movie- Jhuk Gaya Aasman and believed what's portrayed there as it was in tune with the stories I had heard. The hero dies and goes to the other world in a queue. There they refer to a huge book and try to locate his details- the page of his good deeds and bad deeds! That would decide his soul's future course!

The Hindi movie- Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic explains the points system with our good works adding to our score, while our evil works deducting it.

Besotted Writer

At first meeting, I was besotted with books & their world beautiful,
Embarked on brave adventures through a kaleidoscope wonderful!

“Fuchia” by Totomai Martinez

I noted the bonds, details and experiences that greeted me on my way.
I felt the need to express them & share; there was so much to bank & say...

Offering

The world’s female-population had dwindled and the suitable women, a breed rare, had to be won over with  love, attention & care.

He, the lovesick guy, had taken a sick-leave from work just to cook lunch for her that Valentine’s Day & propose to her.

Proper

When he went away wordlessly,
she wondered that morning earnestly-
--
Why did he ignore?
No word/kiss at the door?

Self-Actualization

Khudi ko kar buland itna ke har taqdeer se pehle

Khuda bande se khud pooche bata teri raza kya hai.”

- Allama Mohammad Iqbal  

English Translation- “Empower/elevate yourself so strong/high that God Himself, before framing fate/destiny, should ask you- Tell me, what is your will/consent?” 

Picture-Perfect Zeal And Zest!

I was back at home after my MBA course was over. I had a break after which the placement-interviews were to commence.

I had ordered five items- a dress, a bracelet, a pair of shoes and two suitcases from an online shopping-site. 

"I love the black and white zigzag pattern on the shoes! They remind me of Zebra", my sister remarked.

"That's why I ordered them! I wish to use all this and pose for a picture and submit it for a chance to win the Travel-Junkie-contest."

I tried out my new dress, bracelet and shoes and posed atop the two suitcases. I wanted to show my zeal and zest to travel!

Flock Together!

People have different motivations to work.
But, the #1 activity on checklist they never shirk-

One act that shamelessly unites them together-
Efforts impressing their superior/leader!

Friend To Foe To Friend?

Despite being new to blogging, I won prizes.

One of my Social-Media 'friends' became my foe as she publicly accused me of plagiarism- that I have copied her ideas! 

I privately tried to reason it out with her that I never copy. 

She didn’t believe me & continued her allegations that affected my credibility.
