Windows To Bliss

How many have windows to the world?

How many get to see views unfurled?

Many wait for doors to be opened or knocked-

Do they bother why their windows are locked?

What doors can't, won't, & don't, windows do-

But, how'll those who don't value have a clue?

Windows have whole new worlds behind...

We need the eyes to see & perhaps find.

Are these windows to new worlds out there?

Or are they windows with the worlds we care?

Thanks to the window I unravel secrets with glee

The window opened the door & way to reach me.

Earlier I was never sure if I could ever do this-

Now I do know there are windows to bliss!

Linking with Friday Writings- You Did It!

What do windows mean to you?

The Art Project

The teacher announced "The Art Project".  

Students were free to choose any medium and topic.

Every student was to present their creation after a week.

Ira knew that her canvas and creation would be unique and special.

She started preparing.

 

It was "Art Project Day" at school.

The Place of Death

 "All I want to know is where I'm going to die so I'll never go there" 

- Charlie Munger

Is it possible to avoid death by not going to the place of death? What do you feel?

Death is inevitable.

Whoever is born, will have to die one day.

Just like our soul was facilitated to this material word and we were born, similarly it will be time for our immortal soul to continue its eternal journey. 

Our lives will end suddenly and this life's chapter will be closed.

Benjamin Franklin rightly said, "Nothing is certain except death and taxes." 

Charlie Munger's quote as shared above, raises a question- if it had been possible for a human to know the place of her/his death, would she/he have willingly ventured there?

The Palace Singer

Continuing the story written last month for the Friday Fictioneers-

The Palace Rose Garden- http://www.anitaexplorer.com/2023/11/the-palace-rose-garden.html 

When the first-time travellers reached the living-room, they saw a portrait that looked strikingly like Dia!

"Many artists have visited this palace before", Dia continued.

"In the courtyard of this palace, there used to be performances by singers and dancers.

Can you imagine there was a talented singer who could light lamps with his singing!"

Male Gaze and Female Gaze in Hi Nanna: IDHE IDHE

 Last evening, I saw info about the song release of a new Telugu movie- "Hi Nanna".

This new song "Idhe Idhe" is trending on YouTube for music having already garnered 900K+ views, and counting.

The song video is here-

Head Turner & Showstopper

The song has the lead heroine- Mrunal Thakur walking in.

She is definitely a "Head Turner".

Like in fashion shows where we have the "Show Stopper", she walks in and captures everyone's instant attention.

Dressed in a black saree and white blouse, she creates magic.

After seeing her, people simply stop and turn their heads and just gape. 

She is unmissable. 

She is magnetic.

She is amazing. 

Male Gaze

It is a sweet melodious romantic song beautifully shot by the team.

The camera has faithfully followed all the characters & captured their expressions beautifully.

But, hey!

What is this?

Why the close-up on her features and lingering there for some time?

The Creative Installations

The shoes were lying in their attic for years just like so many other unused items in their home.

Photo Prompt- Ted Strutz

Discarded things were lying outside their home too– just like an old car, statues, toys etc.

Once-loved items were now uncared…

Rizzy had enterprisingly decided that she had to do something about all those.

Interest Is Interesting

The word "interest" always interests me,

Interest is an interesting word, you see! 

Nothing is possible without interest, I feel.

Interest generates knowledge, action & zeal.

Interest is what is needed by one at first,

Interest acts as a driving force & is like thirst-

To quench this thirst, there is motivation.

Efforts are indications; interest is the inspiration.

What Do You Think?

Do you think you can remove all from the group?

Do you think without water you can make soup?

Do you think you can play your dirty tricks?

Do you think no one can see your dark streaks?

Do you think you are the only one who knows?

Do you think you are all-in-all; the rest are foes?

The Palace Rose Garden

The travellers went to the palace.

"Photography is not allowed inside", their Guide warned.

 

When Dia saw the palace, she walked as though she knew the place. 

Photo Prompt- David Stewart

"A beautiful Princess once lived here", the Guide informed.

This Moment Is All There Is

This moment is all there is.

This moment is full of bliss.

This moment is unique.

This moment is my pick.
