When I got rejected

When I got turned down

Yes. It was a moment

I did frown

I had lost my crown

It was given by Mr Brown

For my act as a clown

All excitement went down

I felt cheated, used and dumped

I felt cold and stupid like a camel with a hump

I was quick to hide my emotions to some

The tears that rolled down

And smile lost shunned

I copied the rejection to a page

Now, before I engage

I read it daily to control rage

It is an antidote with no expiry date

I understood life but a bit late

Life with it’s lighter side.

The virtual world has grown with tremendous speed. There was a time that letters were posted and written. Some reached so late that the person who waited almost expired. There was telegram with few important words within a budget to inform people on the other side of the hemisphere . Then FAX, yes it had trouble with the machine all the time.

As internet stepped in to conquer the old modes of communication became obsolete. Cards were no longer available randomly, people sent and received e-card. Telephone got replaced by Mobile phone and very quickly, smart phones iPod etc. had captured the market. Now most of the calls were made on internet.

Phone bills reduced and internet bills took over. It was cheaper and faster. Now, we didn’t go shopping we searched online and then we visited to purchase or order online. Trips to market got reduced? No! trips to market increased because now we could find items more easily and conveniently. All the sales were announced with push messages. Ladies were happy and gents , not that much.

Then 2020 saw pandemic, the life screeched to a halt. People were afraid of dying which is very natural and now internet played a vital role. Retail, banking, education and information flowed across the world as people remained locked inside their houses.

Sometimes I wonder if this led to all information pouring into the internet and getting caught in the web. Everyone must have logged in and sent some sort of information. Those who hack or monitor the websites know a lot more about us.

But then who cares! Privacy was not present when we sent postcard which literally had everything exposed. Our smart phones locate us and pass our personal data to the satellite. Sometimes I wonder what is the use of it? Except for tracing criminals, or finding money transaction. Normal people hardly have anything to hide and their life was simple before and is simple still.

Fluffy

The little ball of love

Looks so cute

Looks so soft

cuddle him touch his ears or nose

give him a finger

or a fragrant rose

he will smell it

or lick it

then roll

open his eyes wide

and ask you who told?

No one Kuku

I smile as I hold

the bundle of joy

in my arms

close to my hear

tfeeling that love

which rose

in his little heart

that open without force

I read as I cry

I find tears rolling down my cheeks

the words were clear as ice

it broke something inside

shattered beyond repair

shocked to find myself betrayed

not by him but by me

although I had promised

no more miseries

here I was with a heart break

How can now I take

Need to shake roughly

Get awake!

You are not

anything more than a waste

So no more time for yoursake

Got better things to do 😉

I said to my broken heart

at the burning stake of love.
