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...

“Mood” – Totomai Martinez

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.

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.

Justice For Her

They were wedded & looked a lovely pair.

Their marital life had problems in its share...

She had a spat with her hubby in the flight.

Instead of home, she checked into a hotel after fight.

Hubby checked in to the same hotel the next day.

She pointed fingers at him & his ways.

She took to the social media where she had many a fan.

She accused him of relations with another woman.

When Lisa's groom did not turn up at the wedding, one of the guests, Asok, volunteered to marry her that date in January, in case she was willing.

Lisa said YES and Asok and Lisa were soon man and wife.
