A Brutal World...
"Jessica don't grate your brain cells over it. What is done is done!" advised mom over the phone to her girl who had entered the corporate world after her graduation.
She was loving the freedom but would curb into her cell when a mistake would occur.
"Mom, he was so rude. I could not help it." she continued with a sob.
Mom could not disagree one bit thus defended her, "I can understand my

A World beyond Fiction
Many times I have been questioned about my transition from a Biochemist to becoming a Writer.
Why?
What happened?
"Biochemistry is all about logic, train of thought and science that actually makes sense. And now you are in a non-sense field."
Sure, that is not a pleasant thing to say, but then I wonder we all are living in a world of fiction where tomorrow is uncertain and

Sacred Space
Morris squealed,"Get out you wrinkled hairy creature!"
The girl panicked and ran out of that four by four space that was her shrine, and NO one was allowed in there!
As she stood outside her sacred space, she was in tears while pondering over the invasion that was an intrusion into her privacy.
"I shall investigate and get to the bottom of this!" she said while wiping her tears and banging

From Acting to Mindfulness
"R can you please exhibit the right emotions here!" pleaded my drama teacher in elementary school as she would curl up her papers to control her desperation while I would giggle over a scene that needed composure and a serious face.
My acting was so bad that my confused look in the play would give the impression that I have a cold, and my nervous act would make people laugh since they would

Pokemon-Go is making everyone on the GO!
No doubt the teens are out and about, but alas eyes are on their gadgets while trying to capture one of the Pokemon.
Went for a walk to the park, and it felt like bionic men wandering the paths since eyes were glued to their screens.
Mantra for today: Man's choices make me wonder if we are headed for a crazy world!

Nature's Fury
Cloe and Jake were walking hand in hand, with a scarf over their respective heads that bit into with their lips. Their steady steps would sometimes get an unwary cause of the sandstorm that would push and try to drift them apart.
But instead, they would halt, grip their fingers into each other's palms and continue their walk with the hope to find a roof to escape the fury of the sand storm in

The Circle of Life
Adam and Eve were the first man and woman according to the creation myths, and that was the seed of the broad population we have today.
Nature has designed a baby to be born from the union of two adults, thus making sure he is surrounded by family.
Alas! Not all are fortunate to be brought up in a cozy scenario. Circumstances are one such issue that comes forward.

This summer.....
When we ushered 2016, I was as usual overwhelmed and could not imagine any seasons yet until the month of May arrived and school's signaled for a brief shutdown so that their teachers could get some rejuvenating time while we keep our kids at home and 'bond' with them.
Summer has arrived, I shouted in glee and anticipation.
Glee cause as the teachers said, 'time for bonding with your

Got a chance to visit the Veteran's hospital and got goosebumps when I saw these small placards next to various rose bushes.
"In Memory of xxx."
The 'xxx' fought for our country then thus allowing humankind to breathe in the oxygen of freedom and even now continues to emit fragrance to his countrymen.
Amazing how one man can give so much!
Mantra for today: Man's mental capacity beats the

The Droppings
"Gosh! she did it again" I snapped as I picked up her poop from the backyard.
"I have told Janet a thousand times about her feces in my yard, but alas! no action" I continued to complain as I was cleaning up.
**
Days go by and no sign of elimination on my property. At first, I was pleased, but there were moments I missed seeing the feline animal and her purr with her soft gaze that said a
