Thanks, human!
I like your intention (or maybe a sweet little blunder) of planting this sapling in a corner of the pot, leaving enough soil space in the center. Now, that makes for a perfect chill bed for this comfy connoisseur to stretch, curl, and take a nap after lunch.
But, don’t blame me if at all the plant self-destructs itself, wanting to give me all its space out of love. I’m just treating ours as a mutualistic relationship, while fertilizing my plant partner. Continue reading

Cordial Contagions
In this age of cowering Covid contagion, there are these creepy yet cordial contagions – laughter and yawn – which become worse and uncontrollable the harder I try, and that too, always at the wrong times!
“You are often dirty, and not neatly dressed. I wonder if you have ever taken a shower.
With full hopes, I approach. You greatly disappoint me. However, on a casual meet without any plans, you don’t fail to surprise.
You act so cold to the outsiders, but also beckon them by and large. I’m unable to make up my mind about your personality. Should I always keep my expectations low around you?

Hey visitor!
Let me clear my own mystery, sharing my story with you.
I was once a giant guard designed to fly. While I rested, the enemy of my territory casted a freeze curse immobilizing our complete clan. As days passed, the frozen mankind, all their materialistic lifestyle and even the cursed enemy passed away.
But, I stay grounded with no escapade even in this open desert. Then on, I remain seated decoding the meaning of mankind for centuries and centuries.

What else can be cold comfort at an island that has witnessed and recorded more than 50,000 earthquakes, but still trying hands at fun science experiments like cooking hotdogs and eggs in lava? Continue reading
Guttural Growls
Ignore guttural growls just like the growls of the gut that don’t stop irrespective of being empty or full.
Guttural: being or marked by utterance that is strange, unpleasant, or disagreeable.

“You were a silent charm,
with comforting arms.
You caught my eyes,
right at the first glance.
Having seen your hypnotic trance,
I can’t help but wonder,
how people ignored you all these days.
My heart throbs,
cursing those unlucky flock;
also, blessing my lucky stars. Continue reading
Zig Zag
I can bet it’s not just success that takes us through zig zags of toils and tears before reaching the target, after having experienced the toils of Google Maps that takes us through zig zags and narrow lanes of up to 2km to reach a destination 200m away on a straight road!

Don’t get me wrong for standing without the basic protective gear, masks and gloves, because it’s 2050 and not 2020.
My friend is a designer with the hobby wall-painting and I’m a technologist waiting for him to come down so that we can together go to the playground.

July 17 is celebrated as World Emoji Day, an unofficial holiday.
Emojis, symbols of the visual language, have become a part of our everyday life. They were designed with the intention of adding emotions to the digital language. Peeking out from smartphone screens, they are now on clothing, shoes, arts, cakes, gift items, plush toys, and in many more forms.
Emojis were first created by Japanese artist Shigetaka Kurita. He worked with Japan’s main mobile carrier DOCOMO, on the development team for “i-mode,” an early mobile internet platform with the goal of finding new ways to express information. Emojis weren’t 3D in the initial days as we see them now. Kurita sketched emojis as a set of images that can be sent on mobiles and pages as individual characters within the i-mode interface, which implies that they were not international. Continue reading
Breaking the Break
He is here bored of working from home, breaking my break again during my usual nap time, the same human who would usually rush to work without any time to notice me wagging my tail to get some love.

“There’s a Turkish proverb, ‘If the world flooded, it wouldn’t matter to the ducks’, meaning things that are bad for you need not necessarily be bad for others.
But here, the thing that is good for you, the very essential bath, is directly impacting my health and senses, esp. the nasal that can’t bear your sweat stench, and my skin getting soaked in your creamy lather.
Being the leader of this flock, I’d Continue reading
