An Experience that made me a patron!
Horns are blasting, and brakes are screeching as I swear, pray, urge to my cab driver while constantly glaring at my watch.
Finally, we reached the destination. I had the exact change, tossed it at him, and dashed towards the airline check-in. In spite of my repeated pleas, the lady at the reception kept saying sorry!
Finally, I give in!
I accepted that I missed my flight.

A Yellow Boat
Charles was wading in water on a summer afternoon, with thoughts keeping him company, when a boat at a distance caught his attention.
After focusing hard, he realized that the yellow boat was drifting towards the shore with no anchor. Curious, he started walking towards the riverside, and waited patiently for it to arrive.
Just then he jumped in fear, as he heard a loud bang.

Alex's Pets - A Children's story
On a lazy summer afternoon, a boat is sailing over a calm river with some pure laughter in the background.
Alex is going sailing with his parents, and he is all giggles over how the ants in his boat are picking the crumbles of the sandwich left behind after their meal.
"Look Alex, we are going under a bridge." interrupted Dad
"Wowie!" he looked up and clapped in delight.
Just then the boat

Today's picture is about Diversity yet togetherness!
Different kind of plants growing close to each other, and yet thriving and blossoming.
Man, on the other hand, after a few hours together wants his/her space!
Mantra for today: Skip pointing fingers, and let's work on ourselves so that we can bloom like these Plantae.

The Defeat
Pedro is moving his feet briskly in the ground trying to level off the mud.
His mind is moving aimlessly that he did not notice his coach come near him and direct him to start the game.
Looks up towards the voice, frowns for a microsecond, then brings his attention to the surroundings by a quick nod, and a silent, "I can do it."
He propels his first ball after a deep inhalation, which

Can you choose your neighbors?
Over a decade ago, we had arrived in this neighborhood.
Extra chirpy and jovial, you could blame it on our age or just the fact that we wanted to be friendly.
Our neighbors were also equally eager to wear a smile now and then.
Such was life!
While settling in, we would occasionally see a pair of eyes poking our backs, we would turn around to see nobody.
Strange!
But, that feeling would

A Life-Changing Event
Sam is being playful while looking at himself in the mirror.
Mom passes by his room to find him in such a state.
Walks in with her hands on her hips and a frown on her face.
Sam looks at her and quickly turns towards his papers.
Taking a deep breath, she strokes her hand over his head and says gently, "You can be comical all you want tomorrow evening after your significant and compelling
