The Alien Guest

She rechecked.

It was really him with another woman.

She was furious.

How could he do this to her?

He had no right to play with her trust.

She followed them secretly across the wilderness oblivious to the happenings in the world...

A spaceship had landed some hours ago.

The police was in search of a missing alien.

Seeing her with a binocular, they inquired if she had spotted the alien.

She nodded and pointed towards the tent...

The media interviewed her for 'Breaking News'.

No one knew the reality- the alien had randomly selected his form; thus totally resembled him...

Odisha India Handlooms

Spicy Saturday Post Here

I am yet to visit most parts of our world. But, wherever I have been, I am conscious that I am not in my motherland, rather I am a cultural ambassador of India there. I make it a point to wear Indian clothes and use Indian products most of the time, especially when I am abroad.

Wearing Indian handlooms attracts a lot of attention. Random strangers stop by to shower gracious compliments- "Very nice costume", "So pretty", "Lovely dress", "Love the pattern/design/print", "I want something like what you are wearing!"...

The cloth/design refers to the Ikat cloth and handlooms of Odisha that I wear most of the time. 

The bright colours and patterns and varieties of dress-materials and Sarees steal hearts.

The Flood

The formidable dam of the past bursts at this hour:
The deluge and flood overwhelms my heart,
The waters lose no time to smartly play their part, 

Stirred and shaken, I shrink, shrivel and cower, 

Thorns pierce; I'm like an unloved trampled flower.

Bulls-eye! I'm the real target hit by the flood-dart...

Is it too late to journey ahead in my bedecked cart? 

Rejuvenate my once-upon-a-time spirit and power?
