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
You name members of our kind ‘Flash’ and do not hesitate to make fun of our natural speeds.
In this regard, I question you, why don’t you mind your own business at your natural speeds?
Even if you are accelerating, why can’t you be in control? Have you lost your nerve?
I can hear you. I am not as frustrated as this always. But, you humans make me yell. Do you want to know the reason?
To her, happiness is just a piece of cake, literally.
But, no one at home lets her eat one.

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.
“Whenever I come across you,
you seem to be mine;
completely, without a doubt.
But still, I don't want you to be mine.
You'll make my life miserable than ever before.
I feel like I'm in a trance.
She wondered if any pawnshop held his nous when he halted 100m prior, dubious about a turn in habitual route.
I was quite late for college one day and missed my college bus at the closest stopping. So, I asked my dad to drop me at a different terminal on time where the same bus will reach shortly. We were just close enough when he switched off the bike’s engine, and asked me, Continue reading
Guttural Growls
Ignore guttural growls just like the growls of the gut that don’t stop irrespective of being empty or full.

When it is time to hit the hay, you say ‘lights out’. But here I am, half asleep when light is actually out spreading its rays.
In this regard, don’t judge my slumber time. I was in a shift, busy hunting rats yester night.
Untouched books crowded his shelves, shiny leather spines and faded first editions, meticulously dusted and never read.
He knows he’s in deep trouble now. A few months back, he came across a girl in the library he visits. He stalked her timings for about a week, not with wrong intentions though. With his observations, he started reading books in her often-visited genre. He initiated casual conversations one day and they gradually became friends.
She offered him book suggestions which he really enjoyed. She is someone who just doesn’t focus on the content or is bound to the works of one favourite author. She explored varieties. At times, she used to choose a book, just because the cover is attractive. Continue reading
Tragicomic
“I’m bittersweet, happy and sad watching my little buddy leaving to her preschool to get smarter like me, and also cross at the same time that she has forgotten to wave me a goodbye in her crying spree.”

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.

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.
