The Dream House

She often saw that house.

It looked appealing from outside.

The satin curtains, the furniture... everything looked perfect.

Not satisfied with glimpses, she wanted to explore the entire house.

The mere thought made her feel happy.

She imagined what it’d be like to visit it.

She got her chance soon.

An elderly woman wanted a parcel hand-delivered there.

Blessing in Disguise

She was rushing as she didn't want to miss her carpool to school.
"I have be on time for my exam".
While hurrying down the stairs, she tripped and fell.
"Mama! I have twisted my ankle and can't move my foot!"
"Never mind. You take rest today. All will be well. We'll visit the doctor", her mother assured.
"What about my exam?"
"But, you can't even walk with your sprained foot... By now your car must have left. And even if I leave you by alternate transport, you can't possibly walk up to your classroom that's on the third floor of your school."
Bearing the throbbing pain, she knew that her mother was right.

Reality Check

What's reality & what's not?
What's a little & what's a lot?
What's dark & what's fair?
What's negligence & what's care?

What's reality & what's not?
What's tall & what's short?
What's love & what's hatred?
What's said & what's unsaid?

"Funny, when you finally faced reality, it was amazing how clearly you could see things."- Mary Higgins Clark 

What's reality & what's not?
Depends on our perception & spot.
Though minds "think" & eyes "see",
Why are we divorced from reality?

My reality is different from all,
My reality is my creation & my call.
The lens with which I view,
Shows me many images new.

My understanding & interpretation,
Shapes my reality with perception.
Yes, all this is real cent percent...
Reality is an opportunity God-sent.

"I am not a person who is about reality. I am about enhanced reality."- Tom Ford 

High time to do a reality-check audit,
Realize that life is on bit by bit.
Enjoy whatever is in store now today,
Time to welcome reality night & day!
