Through Absence

In the rising of a formidable antagonist, that the power of a protagonist has value; whatsoever be its physical or philosophical stature. It is omnipresent, and most often taken for granted just by us, Humans… Only when plunged – even couple feet deep – under water; that we dearly miss air. They aren’t abundant, but…

Abiding Brilliance

Life is… about forming habits; good or bad, is one’s own choice; Life is also… about holding virtues; highest or lowest, it’s known what ain’t a vice; Life is, more often… doing actions and reactions; former is rarely proactive, latter is mostly instinctive… An actor bears the burden, of forming, holding, and doing; one more…

Say cheese!

If the Touchbar in MacBook was ground-breaking, the triple-cam in new iPhone is nerve-wrecking, and earth-shattering… Oh Apple! You were the pioneer, of suave build, and minimalistic design… With the previous one,           the Roman numeral came,           and Home button went;          …

Line, wave, and axis

You’re a surfer, riding waves day and night… Some towering, some calming Some gentle, some brutal… You ride with pride You’re a zestful surfer… You’re a thinker Thoughts usher when it’s sun or moon… Some stirring, some uninspiring Some moving, some stalling.. You think and not blink You’re a hopeless thinker… You’re an emotional Feelings…
