The art of faking


Dazzling diamonds on its exterior,
Yelling brand showcasing being privileged, 

Inside, just a tissue and visiting cards
Sufficient to wipe off the embarrassment naked


Insides of a pompous purse,
Of a wanna be celebrity, lost and caged.

    Ahh...so i guess this post inclines towards the female population more. Haven't heard of a diamond studded wallet before :)
    Quite true, i must admit. Today's youth is becoming more flashy and hollow. They need more substance to survive.

Are You Working ?

Are You Working? ......In any casual gathering, party, meeting, the inevitable question hits me sometimes like a lightening instantly after a name exchange or so in few secs and sometimes it slithers like a serpent after a chat of few minutes of introduction etc.….And now when I get attacked, I am prepared,  I start with my historical background to earn some respect for my present status of being just a housewife and gradually declare my current status…. So are you working? A woman mostly befitting the 'working' criteria asks! Oh yes, more than ever! I am working 200%....Although I have worked for 10 years in IT but now as a mom of twins I am working more than I have ever worked and please note that there is pure heartfelt joy in this current work.

Homeless

This post is written to follow the theme of experience with ‘ Encountering the Other in Language / Place’ on the BluePrintReview Blog carnival( http://www.blueprintreview.de/lapjoin.htm ) , emphasizing on the other, and in the process of seeking, a different perspective evoked where the other-ness could not be found. Picture credits - From Freedom Collection on Favim.com Where do I belong? What place, what language? What is foreign to me? I am here Always was, I am ancient I was a volcano, a boulder A fish, a sparrow or a squirrel Today, I am a girl You make me bow Attach me with a custom God Fence me, limit me Introduce me to fear Free me, let me fly I am a cloud A rootless, homeless floater Of no shape, no race, no color I just change, stay forever Don’t tie me With your sacred thread No sprinkling of holy water From the purest world I have emerged Been tied to the strongest Chord of umbilical Into t...
