Kind Karma
I'll never do running errands voluntarily for others again,
Because no one appreciates or recognizes my work/pain.
Rather, they feel I'm volunteering as I'll be the one to gain!
I must have ulterior motives to waste my time again & again!
Just because I have helped and supported one person,
Other people- X, Y, Z also demand my time & attention!
My kindness and good-nature goes through examination.
I find myself in an unenviable situation with no solution!

Just Jazz
He took
her to the Club-house.
He
still remembered her piano performance for the Club’s Annual Day two decades
ago that had made him fall in love with her.
He
considered himself lucky that she had agreed to marry him.
She
wanted to play the piano again.
“Make
me fall in love again?” he winked!
Her
expert fingers got busy with the keys.
“What
do you hear?” she questioned while playing her favourite piece.
"Just
Jazz”.
She
could hear nothing; a deadly car-accident had made her deaf.
He
couldn't hear anything; the old piano had lost its sound of music.

Isn't it strange how so much changes with time? Do you feel that we do not get to choose what music we want/need to hear? Do share in the comments below.

She: My skin-colour is dark and I'm skinny, but does it give them the licence to call me "Black Coffee"?

India has always been under threat from
enemies. History stands as a testimony how many invaders have plundered our
nation over the ages. In the present age, there are many threats to our India’s

Media and technology, there must be judicious use of apps and gadgets. While we are quick to
enjoy our freedom and rights, we must not forget our duties, making sure we go
through all the check-posts and tunnels on our journey to ensure a safe nation.

The Free Soul #writebravely #celebratewritetribe
She felt she was different from the rest.
She wanted to do something unique.
But, they made her dance to their tunes and broke her spirit.
She always wished for serenity and freedom - freedom to think, act, be...
The more they suppressed her, the more her feelings strengthened.

In Pursuit Of Miracle
“You really
want to hire Aakar? Are you crazy?” Medha told her husband and colleague,
Manoj.
They were reviewing
the job-applicants’ interview-performances.
Medha and
Manoj were co-founders of an ad-agency named Miracle.
With the
increasing competition, Miracle was not doing as well as they expected it would
when they had started three years ago.
“We need a
miracle to save Miracle. I’m confident that Aakar can give it the shape we want,”
Manoj answered.

Please Forgive Me
Amar often thought of his friend Zaid.
He wondered where his special childhood friend was.
To his pleasant surprise, he heard a song that Zaid often used to sing.
The rich voice came from across the border.
The song reminded him of their boat-trips in which they were a team.

Odia TV Shows
What my conversation told me about Odia Channel Packs
We were discussing about TV programmes in our office. We spent most of our waking hours outside home and at office. After we get back home, we look for some relaxation or entertainment while performing the household chores. I was interested to find out which shows and channels our team-members usually watched. That’s when I realized that most of them watched Odia TV shows and found Odia programmes interesting. Zee Sarthak channel is watched by them and their family-members!
Probing further, I inquired, “What is special about this channel’s shows? Why do you watch it?”
I got the following responses:
Talent Shows
Our designer Sasmita said that she likes to watch the talent shows on Zee Sarthak especially the music talent shows for kids.
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Lil Champs 2019 is Sasmita’s favourite as she likes music and kids.
She watches Sa Re Ga Ma Mega Challenge too.
Serials
Our tailor, Sandhya said that she watches many serials with her family. Zee Sarthak has many family dramas, romantic dramas, etc. It was interesting to be briefed about the stories of some popular drama shows:
Family Dramas

Jwain No.1 (Son-in-law No.1)
