The Pangs of Today

Everyone’s buzzing away

rushing to and fro —

Looking to surpass bees.

Damn you, Monday.


It’s Monday, and for once, I’m busy working. What do you know, miracles happen!

If Only…

Even the unlikeliest people can change our perspectives. If only we’d listen.

Found this on Pinterest – Sylvia Plath has a way with words. Could there be a better way of saying it?

A Touch of Mystery

Since I already posted my warmth photo in different light, for mystery, I decided to take a new approach.

The most mysterious thing to me is the human mind. Nothing too technical; it just baffles me how people sometimes work and think. For instance, it’s Saturday – which is officially a holiday – but I see a lot of my colleagues working as they do on a warm Tuesday afternoon. There’s always work to do, yes, but it matters how you prioritize your work and personal life. But here they are, emerged in their daily tasks, as if working through the weekend will reduce the workload.

So here’s the mystery: why do people work throughout the weekend, when instead, they could be enjoying cold coffee on the beach?

I guess I’ll never see their logic.

Also, I’ve edited the photo to give it a touch of mystery – what do you think?

Warm Dinner on a Cold Night

Warmth – for me, it’s food. Ever since I got a camera, I’ve been trying out new recipes, just so I can photograph them.

And one of my favourite foods of all time – the ever-satiating corn. I just love to roast and eat it off the cob.

There it was boiling away, while I, prepped up the details – and when it was finally done, I bought it out to the table – and the power went off. It didn’t help that it had just rained and natural light was almost zero.

That’s when the flashlight came into play. After this shot, I could eat in peace and really feel the warm corn spreading warmth down my throat on a wet night.

Reality Strikes

“Dad!”

He rushed to his childhood hero. Relief spread through him as he held his father’s firm shoulders under his palms.

“Thank goodness,” he wheezed. “Weird dream! We were in an accident.”

Raised eyebrows.

He gulped, “A truck ran us over.”

“That was no dream.”
