As the flood of light inundated the
room through the translucent window, he felt
a rush of energy only to have
his stomach in knots at the thought of the
approaching cyclone which was enough to
scathe them leaving a ton of damage behind.

He always dreamt of doing something of his own rather than be part of a regular 9-5 job. But then, he realized that making money was important too. And so he set about building his capital before beginning his adventure.
When he began his personal venture, things didn’t exactly go to plan. Due to his inexperience and some bad advice, he ended up in a legal quagmire. He finally realized that being an entrepreneur was quite a different kettle of fish compared to what he had experienced till date. But then he thought to himself –
“I prefer keeping in mind even the possibility that existence has its own reason for being.”
He knew that quite a crowd would gather seeing him fail and fall. While it was not quite an amble through the park, he slowly but surely started reaping the fruits of his hardwork.

I want to forget those days but I can’t seem to get over her. It seems that she is still here with me walking hand in hand by the beach.
We happened to meet by chance in a restaurant where she had come for a business meeting. When we got talking, we realized that we had so much in common and a friendship quickly bloomed. Soon enough, we were besotted with each other so much so that I had surrendered myself to her charms.
But when she suddenly passed away, I was only left with our photographs and my loneliness.

I am taking the A to Z Challenge 2020 with Blogchatter and my theme is Microfiction.
Every year we all proclaim our New Year resolutions only to break them after a couple of days or weeks. But as the new decade begins, can we hope for the world to be a better place than before?
Could this be the decade of peaceful coexistence?
Could this be the decade when we start reversing the effects of global warming?
Could this be the decade when we forget our differences and work together for the greater good of humanity?
“I feel as though I have got a new life with these specs post my surgery. There was a time when I struggled to open my eyes under normal light. My eyes watered excessively due to the dryness in the atmosphere.”
Despite having a caring family and achieving a lot in her career, Sarah seemed perennially unhappy. Her eye condition had deteriorated so much so that it had started affecting her daily life.
The ophthalmologist suggested that an urgent surgery was the only option followed by getting the right kind of specs. And the rest as they say is history.

With the advent of smartwatches, the obsession over the ‘no of steps’ one has completed in a day has hit the roof. More and more people are looking to the “Fitbit’s” and the “iWatch’s” in the hope of ensuring they reach the magic ‘10,000’ step mark. It seems as though fitness and having an active lifestyle is now being defined by the number of steps one completes in a day.
Devices like these have definitely ensured that fitness has probably become more mainstream than it ever was. What started from pedometers has moved on to smart devices, apps and even competitions for fitness. All of it has further emphasized that a good fitness regimen is the secret of a happy life.
