Contactless Contact
The infections from contactless (eye) contact are more vicious than the threats from taction regardless of physical distancing norms, for the emotions that eyes showcase are enticing ecstasies.

They say a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. So, should I cage myself with you? There’s too much risk in it.
On the other hand, if I let you free, is it not risky too?
Am I going to take a chance? Continue reading
When Rune found a friend in me, it was his postures – hunched shoulders, ever lowered head, tucked-in tail, timid and fearful eyes – that portrayed him as an omega wolf yearning for a non-hurting companion.
The scars of terrible abuse could be felt when I patted his back while he sat silently by my side, but that didn’t mean he was loved less by the pack as I’ve witnessed the aggressive ones giving their dear omega a chance to win games at times.
Oddly, today I could feel a deep pain in his eyes that usually held fears and I was assured of my guess when Rune left my side in a direction opposite to that of his usual return, indicating that he has made his mind firm of becoming a lone wolf leaving his natal pack to nourish himself with adequate food and, find or form a new pack for himself beyond his birth territory.
Wolf Pack Mentality:
I loved this wolf in the photo so much that it inspired me to read about the characteristics of wolf packs. Continue reading
We often go through tough times when we face failures, when expectations crowd or we’re in the spotlight. We wish we were left alone in a dark place without any disturbance. But, is it okay to welcome gloom into one’s life volitionally? At least with me, it’s a no.
There are different shades of darkness. An eerie silence and moonless night. Luminescent beach with none by side. Dense forest with torch in hand. Sullen sky accompanied by stray winds.Continue reading
Butterfly effect implies a huge effect being produced as a result of every small action. But, don’t we also create dire consequences by failing to take strong decisions at times? The following is a micro poem penned with this thought.
Wings' softness, easy flight! With each decision, colours spread. With each indecision, colours piled. Wings flapped, now with added tenacity!
Inspired by Bulbul’s ‘Twenty-Words Tuesday’ prompt – butterfly effect.
Hereon, for at least a month, I’ll be publishing two posts a day – one at 12:01 AM and the other at 12:01 PM IST.

To my beloved organs, additional duties are assigned. Eyes also act as ears; hands assist or replace mouth. Yes, I am a deaf, hearing impaired but capable of doing anything else.Continue reading
A/N: Kindly read the verse in landscape mode if the lines don’t fit entirely on your screen.
When I repeat a mistake, it's choice. When I repeat a stare, it's anger. When I repeat a music track, it's pleasure. When I repeat a lap, it's practice. When I repeat a call, it's emergency. When I repeat a lie, it's surprise.Continue reading
“We learn a lot from what we don’t become.”
What do you think? Share your thoughts.
This is a free verse, each line framed with six words, comparing water with the life of anyone who is in trouble. Based on the mind’s perception, the hope for reality might evaporate or offer a solution. A six-word story is quoted at the end.
Amorphous, but still assigned a colour. She closed the doors of perception. Things known transformed into things unknown. She got lost in the waves.Continue reading
wings clipped in one frame
unrestrained freedom of her flight
emerged in another
Life’s a time video. If you don’t appear on a frame, it doesn’t mean you won’t get a chance to appear in another.
This post is written in response to the ‘Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt’ by Ronovan. The challenge words for the week are Clip and Wings.
“The crimes and ideologies of the past must be rectified at the earliest. The world is a wreck now.”
“If there’s nothing to rectify, will there be any reverence to our service at present times?” Continue reading
A/N: Kindly read the verse in landscape mode if the lines don’t fit entirely on your screen.
Just dried mixing pallete… A single brush for all strokes… Messed page in her colouring notebook. Tears of water flowed drenching pages in an effort to make a kaleidoscope of colours.Continue reading

divine elixir drips down

Even after losing the kaleidoscope, her obsession didn’t fade. She eventuated to become a microbiologist for the love of patterns.
Here, cascade means the succession of stages or operations.
This is in response to the ‘Twenty-Words Tuesday’ prompt by Akanksha Singh @ Bulbul. The challenge is to write a story in exactly 20 words for the prompt word kaleidoscope.
There are people actuated by joy. Few others are impelled by pain. Discipline can drive; so can fears. Many of us dream similar dreams. Few who dream do it whatsoever. Few others choose to focus elsewhere.Continue reading
In this post, I’m to share my insights on how to add a tag that states ‘Expand To Read’. A few bloggers had asked me for it, and this is a post detailing the need and procedure for the same.
The details tag is more like an interactive disclosure widget. Any content that the user can open and close on demand can be added to this. When open, it expands and displays the content.
When to use the ‘details’ element?
Details tag in HTML can be used to display
Approaching a lady at the market place, he told, “You don’t seem to belong here”, showing a photograph of hers that he had captured last week at the same place.
“Neither do I.”
