Setting 25 : Going Back

From : @lonelycan

"I must do this for my country!" she exclaimed.

"The country which humiliated you for your looks? How can you forget
the headlines? They stripped your medals! Questioned your morals! Why?
Because you look manly? Can that be undone?", her brother argued.

She dismissed him before he could overwhelm her. Nothing could kill
her spirit to do something for her nation. The ace woman runner of the
country was now returning as the coach.

From : @dbijalAt present, I dream of future similar to my past. A life would come to this world but grow up in a different environment. 

The talks with grandparents always amused me. They said things were simple back then and I thought they are simpler today. However, when I have nephew and nieces today, I talk like my grandparents.

Thoughts are like swing. They take you forward and make you go back in time.

There was laughter, strumming guitars, songs overall through the return journey from Pune.

Our rock band had finally nailed the prestigious MTV Rock contest.

Poppp..!!!  came the gushing Champagne to celebrate our Euphoria.

After a sharp turn , the caravan rocked near the edge of the hilly road.  

I & my drummer evacuated the caravan steadily & we were moving out.

“Shaunnn.. Help…”

I went back to save him & the caravan went crashing down.  

Setting 24 : A Chosen Confrontation

From : @crazyandhow

The photographs burned today. The digitals deleted forever. The gifts
and memories were being thrown out with the garbage that had rotted
for days now. The last 3 years spent in self disdain of his lost love.
Happiness had no meaning for him anymore. Once, illustrious career
looked below average. Seeing her kiss another man made him realize he
is nothing more than a stupid dumbfuck.  Avi smiled and started
putting HIS LIFE together.

He wasn’t late, he gently opened the door and stepped in, carrying a bouquet of roses. He thought I was asleep and felt he had succeeded in slipping in quietly. He moved towards me and I shouted,

“Who were you with? Who gave you these roses?”

He was stunned and speechless, “These are for you” he murmured

“I know baby, but sex is so good after a fight!” and planted my lips on his.

You think you can confess to me and get away with it? Do I look like
a fool to you?", World's favorite daddy did not seem to like his
daughter's confession, not one bit. Neena kicked hard and wailed from
the other side of the door. "She does not get out of the room", he
announced. Neena realized her friends were right. She should have
never discussed about her love to her parents.

We all have our talks, gossips, secrets, crushes, feelings and relationships. What is a bit amiss is openness. Its easy to talk about someone when they aren't around.

How different would it be to confront others. Even better, confront oneself for a change. Fears, strength, hatred or love. Time to walk down a road less taken.

One doubt as I progress is whether such confrontation will help me steer clear in way forward.

From : Shraddha Ghatge

Life choses to confront you when you play with it,

Wrong deeds confront you with its consequences,

A question in life confronts you for an answer when you are running away from it,

Facing a confrontation is what my deceased wife taught me…

I woke up with a start when I heard her call me…

I saw her white shadow on her favourite chair…

“Tell me John why did you kill me..?”

Hector was hurt, humiliated and heartbroken.

Hector sought answers from Venus.

He drove to Venus’s apartment amid heavy rains.

What awaited him there was going to throw his world apart.

He rang the bell and the door opened after FIVE minutes.

Venus Panicked. Hector Surprised.

Venus was with her ex-boyfriend.

Hector stood still and then left without saying a word.  

Hector paralyzed. Still stuck in that moment.

But even the Sun sets in hell.

9year old Rahil, home after school,

Frightened that mamma will lose her cool,

His head down, as she opened the door,

He was silent without any roar.

Something’s wrong, she wondered,

Keeping his head on her lap, he praised,

‘House looks nice and the food smells great’…

Continously thinking, ‘should I say or should I wait’.

Smiling, ‘u lost the umbrella, right son?’

‘Sorry maa’

She softly touched his head and said ‘Lets have lunch’

Setting 6 - #Excitement

From @dbijal

It all started when I turned 18. It was mixed emotion for which I have one word -excitement. Few years later, on paper I achieved it. But in reality, it was still long way to go.

My dad was skeptical about it. I was firm that I want it. Had I relied on him, it wouldn't have happened on paper also.

It was time I took things in my hand. Finally, all efforts paid off. I learned driving!!!

From @samiksha_adukia:

“5…4…3…2…1… Lightsoff… Music!”
Back-stage- instructions; front stage- attention
Simple words they are for crowd in the fest
A high they bring in the performers all set

I read, I heard, I wished, I was there
The Summer-Winter Funks are a dancer’s affair
Check out the performances – hip-hop-jazz-contemporary it be
Bustling with mixed dancers- daddies-daughters-hubbies-buddies

Classes-techniques-costume-practice
Become ‘too much’ in busy weeks?
Only when music turns and curtains raise
You know why it was worth it.

From @Shraddha_G:

“It‘s my fifth joint of marijuana & I’m at all time high! Last night I was with my girlfriend on my Harley Davidson on a long drive to the north. Spent my entire night romancing her on the beach. The week before I bought a Lambo out of the Car Rally Championship prize money. Next week going on a Vegas Vacation with girlfriend again! … …. .. ” says 60-yr-old rich divorcee!

Dude... that’s Excitement!!

From @KartikIyer:

First stride, he took off….
Thundered by a blast from the past;
His psyche shattered, falling just 400m before the finish line,
He thought, Atlanta 1996 Olympics, was his last.

In Sydney 2000, a nail biter it was,
defeated by just a tenth of a second,
broken, bruised, battered he was.

Today, 2004 Athens,
As El Guerrouj’s calves went ablaze,

From 5-4-3-2-1, his heart finally kissed the ribbon….

Thats when Athens erupted and Morocco swayed!

From @DeliciousStrawberry:

Tonight was the night. She finally agreed for doing it on their prom night. Its been a while since he was coaxing her. Sex was a big deal; he will join the ranks. No more virginity was reputation, Sunayna is a beautiful hot thing. Damn, its gonna be nice, wonderful, fucking amazing. Car, check; Strawberry condoms, check; Hotel, check; fragrant candles, check.

Later that night, Krish's first time excitement lasted 30 seconds.

From @crazyandhow:

Fabulous, beautiful, something to explore and boast about. Friends, family, neighbours; she just couldn't hide her enthusiasm. First foreign trip is so special, Europe is icing on the cake. Two months of planning; 20 days trip; Archana was grinning. A joyous trip, a break; an unwinding experience awaited her. Excited she reached the Airport.

Her passport lay on the desk at home.
