A Homeless Writer
A Homeless Writer

He stood at the crossroads,
Looking for a tiny roof,
For a place to rest and relax.
He scoured for a shelter for his family,
From the incessant rain and blistering sunshine.
A place to partake of a meal,
A place to laugh and cry.
Oh, he is a poor man.
He is a writer,
Or thought he was one.
Till he was unburdened of this delusion,
When his books did not sell,
He thought he could write a bestseller,
But he ...

Grandma had always been a timid woman. Grandpa often used to say that she was the kind of woman who could not say gah to a goose. Grandma and grandpa were a total contrast to each other. Grandpa was big and beefy and had been a great hunter in his time. Little Johnny was very fond of grandpa, and he was contemptuous of grandma.

She approached the unfamiliar door and nervously took the key from her pocket. She took a deep breath, unlocked the door, paused, then opened it. To her horror, she saw her pups, Terry and Jimmy, lying on the floor with their eyes closed. It was dark, but she could see clearly that neither of the dogs was breathing. They lay very still. She rushed over to their side...

A Poem For My Little Princess
A Poem For My Little Princess – From Her Loving Father
A mountain of gold coins,
Boxes full of money notes,
Enough to build ten dream castles,
With towers stretching up into the sky,
Would not be equal,
To my little one’s affection.
I don’t mind living in rags,
Like a beggar,
As long as my little one is happy and content,
Her dazzling and wondrous smile,
Is enough to quench my zest for life,
For seven births.
I want her cheeky grin,
To permeate her beautiful ...

We had a boss who explained the requirements and supervised us as and when needed. He was a kind man who let us use our imagination and innovative abilities to the fulles...

The Man In The Mirror
The Man In The Mirror
Today I decided to try out an exercise suggested by a friend in a newsletter she posts every Monday. She urged us to stand in front of a mirror look at ourselves and repeat the following lines every time we feel down in the dumps. Here are the lines…
It can be hard sometimes, to stay your path
It can be hard sometimes, to find hope
It can be hard sometimes to not fall apart when things are taking too long

SEO Content Writing Vs Free Form Content Writing
SEO Content Writing Vs Free Form Content Writing
SEO content writing is all fine for businesses whose objective is to drive traffic to a website and advertise products. Generally that is the purpose of SEO and I have no quarrel with content writers who spend a lot of time researching keywords and filling their writing with those words to rank higher on a search engine. But one thing I can’t help lamenting is that the process of writing anything wi...
