But what makes it special is that every story warms your heart and makes you think or smile; some even leave…
A placeOn whose fertile landSprout ideas,From seeds of deep contemplation;Words ebb and flood,Sometimes flow like a gurgling stream..Narrative arcs enticeLike narrow flower-laden paths,Stretching till eternity….Birds of wisdom,Chirp and fly with abandon,From trees of knowledgeInto the vast expanseOf a unending creativity….The bare bones of characters,gather flesh, blood and motives;Conflicts strikeLike a bolt of lightning,Thoughts pour like…

#smartphoneaddiction Oh you five inch window,Smart phone thy name;Post your insidious arrival,World will never be the same.. In the beginning you are an enigma,Like a harmless placebo pill;Until this realization dawnsThat you are a disease that can kill… Slowly creeping through my life and time,You possess my very soul…Harnessing my weak will,And utter lack of…
Every flower has a story to tell..A little girl has a special gift..Wordsworth plays Cupid to two strangers meeting in arranged marriage set-up..A champion\’s life comes a full circle..Love blooms under the Paarijaata(Night Jasmine) tree..A wild child finds her true calling..Wisdom comes from an unlikely source for this estranged couple..A journalist finds an inspiring story..A…
