The Little Flower: My Amusement

-

I want to run, you want me to walk
I want to laugh, you want me to smile
I want to dance, you want me to sing
I want to write, you want me to read
I want to be altruistic, you want me to be mean
I want to paint, you want me to find a rainbow
I want to sleep, you want me to wonder
I want to love, you want me to surrender
I want to live, you want me to dream
I don't want to live with you and you don't want to leave!!!

Selfies Of My Life

-
Sometimes I feel that the shots of my life are best expressed in selfies. Would I say that is a candid shot? Probably not because retakes are numerous!!! The head tilts back and forth and so does the angles but one thing remains the same, the smile. I have to thank the smartphones for opening this new path towards obsessive behaviour of click click but somehow I am happy with this particular obsession!!!! How I wish life could be like the selfies. I get to decide when to take the shot, how many to take, which ones to post (everywhere) and which ones to delete. Of course not to mention the colours and the edits which caters to my taste. It also shows the spectrum of life….ages as we would define! The twinkle of being in love, the despair of disappointments, the conflict of compromise, the paradox of present and the past, the expectation of the future, the tragedy of life and death and of course, the lines that shows the enormous wealth of experience!!

But I forgot all about it till the rumour of the release of Ms Lee coming out with a new novel. To add to the suspense and the confusion was the fact that the debate before the release of the book was mostly centered around the issue that the novel was not a new book but perhaps a “prelude” or a “sequel” to her already best seller and the evergreen classic To Kill A Mockingbird. Part of me thought I should revisit the first novel so that I would be prepared for the release of Go Set A Watchman and part of me shamefully admitted to the fact that I
