Make a Life
The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said, 'Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eight... more...

Different Strokes for Different Folks!
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .....she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the ev... more...

Gazing around this material worldI must have been blindedTo think that this is the place to beWhere everyone seems to existHappiness is so scarce and shallowAnd we worry much about tomorrow. Running from myself, for I never found real joyFor little did I realise that There’s a paradise inside of me I must nourish to enjoyWhere I gain awareness beyo... more...

Once upon a time, a man decided to vacation on a cruise shipin the Caribbean. It was wonderful--the experience of his life! He was waited upon hand and foot. But, alas, it didnot last.

Euro fever
How much does the game actually capture the imagination of our public? Apart from pockets in the country, like Kolkatta and Kerala, does it really fire up people in other parts of the nation?

The Derailed Desire
Clasping wasn’t passion anymore, but a routine. Carnal needs and desires hitchhiked to a state of arousal, and sunk in an unfamiliar state of eerie silence. The breaths deceived. When pacing, they puffed of someone else’s lovemaking skills. When gasping, they panted of a fulfilled orgasm but unsatiated needs. When hushed, the breathings murmured se...  more...
