She felt it !


Fans blades cutting through the swamp of gaseous mixture, pushed the air past her voluminously, dried out her perspiring numbness and stroked her chilling facetiousness. Ursula sat her self on the bed; her frock frolicking over the floor ran up towards the bed over her, forming a veil of detachment. Her dark leather shoes with pinned up mounds of red triangular velvets, pursued their delicacy in distancing her from the uncouthness beneath them. Ursula slipped her shoes off her feet, observed as they fell down, slowly she moved her feet, and slowly she put her feet on the floor.

A tinge of shock wave ran down her spine, spitting goose bumps on her nape and back, she shivered, held her fists tight, took huge gasps of breath, slowly the rudeness gave way to a proposition, to confer or to confute the passive support proffered upon her. Goose bumps retreated back, all of them together, as if the central nervous system in a fitful anger, spat hot molten fluid over the epithelial layers on the inside, and the liquid tried naturally to make its reentry into the atmosphere, to escape from the clenches of the hollowness and emptiness on the inside. But her nervous system timely pardoned her misdemeanor, cooled the fluid, and the oozing predicament was killed gracefully.

The sumptuous ceramic tiles withdrew into loops dragging with them the softness bestowed from above on them; her spine sent the sensory impulses to every dead cell in her body, to rejuvenate the life in them. She pushed her advantage, took a couple of steps forward, blood pumped from her heart expressed it’s rejoice filling those lively and active feet, nerves relished the imposed and yet spontaneous advantage accrued out of a sensible endeavor.

She smiled with her lips widened; her fingers found solace in the warmth of her chin, and eye lashes furthering their composed features straightened out to seek the solitaire bliss before the life behind them does. Ursula stretched her arms with floating tendencies, her pale and smooth skin fondled air, teased the passive melancholy, appeased the archaic verses hidden deeper beneath the rustic and fluid superficial cloak.

She endeavored to push her form, past the veil of disarray, to enchant and suffocate the curls and froths of the veil, to inject her life into threads of conscience, squirm through the needle of audacity, disentangle the veil of disarray, unfurl it, and finally sew it, sew it into propriety.

She emptied her thoughts and lunged forward through transparency, currents of energy flowed over her, encircled her, billowed up instantly and she transpired through the veil into the outer space...hollowness around her, emptiness, calmness, she felt alone, naked. She looked around her, corrosive vacuum around her, she felt awkward, and her senses were dysfunctional, for there was no object to sense, no smell, and no sound, haunting, unapproachable, she was an intruder on this land of disbelief. She did not intend to disjoin her functional and optimistic world, to this desolate loneliness, an impending darkness, shallow breathlessness. In mournful dejection, she turned back and she watched as the visual impairment gripped her, unabashed, she looked down at her feet, and her tragic impetuousness danced in her head, for there was no ground beneath her feet. No feeling, she even left her slippers near her bed, she felt weightless, but her head, something was up with her head, it was heavy, almost unbearable, smothered her, she felt pivoted by her head, her head stayed stable in this multidimensional plateau, and the rest of her body revolved round it, her neck craved, she reasoned. Her head rolled over from a supposed higher plain to a lower one, and the rest of her body swung along, pivoted by her head, robbed her of sense, or her ability to make sense. Slowly, the round object came to rest, and Ursula felt, a feeling, 'on this plateau', she thought, and then she woke up.

Entrenched Prejudices taking the form of Patriotism

What a great way to celebrate the Independence Day? I am bemused, apparently owing to the wide exposure of emotional experiences hitherto seemed innocuous. Delve a little deep into the acquaintance with idea "patriotism", one will invariably be granted with an uncalled inquisition, one gets to stare at a disconcerting vacuum. Why do we brand ourselves with nations that are a mere collection of geographically propelled, culturally augmented, self aggrandizing people? Answer is elusive to many for the reasons best known to them hitherto for their own good are turning skeptical now. Man whom the evolutionists assert shares a common ancestor with chimps and gibbons, naturally after parting his ways with his cousins (chimps, gibbons) choose to retain a comprehensive emotional, physiological and mental disposition. Man, if he ever chooses to embark on a space ship that supposedly travels back in time is bound to diminish his self esteem owing to his impromptu urge to track his ance...

Pressure Cooker

Daubing the top of wicks, one by one, with drops of kerosene, J proceeded to rest her newly bought Hawkins pressure cooker on the stove. “Now, you wait for the whistle” said the wealthy neighbouring lady who assisted J that morning with the cooker. With an assumed indifference, J waited for the whistle to lift its bottom over the lid and dance in merry. The kerosene stove, she was told won’t do justice to the cooker; she needed a proper gas stove with sleek finish and hollowed eyes that spewed blue flames with the turn of a switch. The kerosene stove with its twelve tongues brocaded over the epithelial layer of its throat, strung into a circle, served her family since the time of marriage. Her son squatted beside her, giggled and found it amusing as J rubbed his cheeks with her hands warmed before the many tongued stove. In the forlorn house under the wooden roof that leaked, between the pale brown walls that flaked, over the grey rugged tiles that cracked, mother and son lent their t...

The moth that covered my face!

My dog came prancing and dancing towards me, I started petting him almost impulsively, took his ears and rolled them over his head hither and thither, stroked his forehead, he was enjoying my attention blushingly perhaps, and he leant his head downwards and was swaying around to get the most of affection. And, suddenly he leapt forward with his hind legs brushing my knee cap, I looked over and he was merrily teasing a moth which apparently fell over on its back and was trying desperately to climb back into a more modest stand. Well, anatomically speaking, the moth had a curved back, smooth with shiny plate like outer skin that extended from front to rear forming quite an armour. It had tiny legs, it was just too hard to find out how many though, drawn so close to the body in a twisted tangled mess, it looked as if, the insect was bothering perhaps a little too much about its legs. On any other occasion, the moth would have leisurely entertained me with its physical theatrics, but this...
