Drive to succeed

His drive to succeed kept him going as an immigrant. Having a mortgage, he worked doubly hard to repay. Despite rejections, he kept trying to forget and move on.

His family sacrificed a lot and he knew that one mistake could end it all in a snap. The pile of challenges kept growing but he wasn’t deterred. He never stooped to unethical methods.

Sitting in the park, he remembered the day he became a citizen. It felt the galaxy had come together to help realize his dream. His felicity had no limits.

Finding one’s way

Finding one's way

Being a tenant in an integrated township, he had felt thankful during the pandemic. Amidst the endless lockdowns and stay-at-home orders, he felt happy seeing people around. While the world outside had changed, there was at least a sense of normalcy when he was in the township. As people shared each other’s pain, the community grew stronger.

But as he stepped into the world outside, he could hear a voice echoing in his head warning him of the dangers that lay ahead. He was unsure on what all had changed.

“Crucial to finding the way is this: there is no beginning or end.” He knew that he couldn’t rush into the pre-pandemic life in a matter of days or weeks. The health measures need to be followed as the health threat was still elevated.

It would be a slow return to business as usual.

Safe to open up?

People see what makes sense to them, reality notwithstanding.

The calls to open up had reached a crescendo in countries where vaccines were aplenty. People yarned away without appreciating how lucky they were compared to the rest.

Incoming cyclone

As the cyclone barrelled towards the city, the clouds started to show their true colours. The summer had already begun in full force with the heat giving the feeling of great balls of fire.

But the cyclone bought a sea change in the weather turning the sky from a few white clouds to almost black with dark grey clouds.

Incoming cyclone

With a lot happening in the upper atmosphere, the city beneath looked so beautiful amidst the lovely breeze and the droplets falling on the leaves.

Incoming cyclone

Though it did cause damage with broken trees and other infrastructure including flying objects like bottles.

100 word fiction: Hunger for travel

PHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot

“You’ve got the moxie to flock to a crowded market in a city you’ve no idea about. Being how whimsical you are, sometimes I wonder if you would disappear without telling me only to reappear later.”

Ronald and Rochelle had travelled to South East Asia for a trip of a lifetime. While they commonly shared the love for travel, the differences began thereafter. While Ronald liked holidays to be laidback and loved staying away from crowds, Rochelle liked to explore as much as she could.

For her travelling and exploring was like a contest which she always needed to win.

For the love of nature

For the love of nature

The arboreal vegetation of this country is beautiful with its plethora of natural flora and fauna. The mountains provide the perfect backdrop for some excellent camera shots. And it’s quite perfect that it has been used to build an excellent brand for the country by so many travel bloggers around.

Being amidst nature is known to make so many buoyant including myself. And come to think of it, I had initially been told that it would be a mistake to come here as some tourists had found things to be quite difficult. It instead turned out to be what I would call – a ‘beautiful mistake’.

Zenith of Disaster

May didn’t augur well for him. While he was sure that his family was careful, he knew that the precautions followed by those who came home had gone wayward off late. Within days, the covid fatalities rose and as he lay in bed, his thoughts were interrupted as an auger was used to put his wife’s frame on the wall. He laid a lei on her grave next morning wondering how the pandemic had broken their union.

Sanitation

The rat ran and he chased.

But the rat’s speed was so much so that he couldn’t keep pace. He had for long asked the authorities to ensure the cleanliness in his locality. It was all the more important for him as he ran a bakery which had a lot many visitors. And without proper sanitation there wouldn’t be any customers.

But the apathy of the authorities made the presence of rats and other such organisms inevitable. This apathy had affected his zest for his business. But he knew that he couldn’t take anymore of their drivel and needed to do what was right for the good of his business.
