Interest Is Interesting

The word "interest" always interests me,

Interest is an interesting word, you see! 

Nothing is possible without interest, I feel.

Interest generates knowledge, action & zeal.

Interest is what is needed by one at first,

Interest acts as a driving force & is like thirst-

To quench this thirst, there is motivation.

Efforts are indications; interest is the inspiration.

What Do You Think?

Do you think you can remove all from the group?

Do you think without water you can make soup?

Do you think you can play your dirty tricks?

Do you think no one can see your dark streaks?

Do you think you are the only one who knows?

Do you think you are all-in-all; the rest are foes?

This moment is all there is.

This moment is full of bliss.

This moment is unique.

This moment is my pick.

Then There Was Light

It was past midnight. 

She was speeding her car trying to flee.

Goons were hot in her chase.

She was not going to let them catch her. 

She sped through little-known by-lanes in an unfamiliar part of the city.

In a dark stretch, her car suddenly stopped.
