Why Adoption is divine...

Adoption didn't seem to her as a bad idea.

There were times when she had wept for hours
 

for not being blessed with a child.
 

Now, as she watched the baby cuddle-up
 

peacefully against her warmth, she realized
 

she had made the right decision.
 

If only Yashoda knew who she had really brought home...

The Shooter

The decorated major had won another gold for the country at the Olympics.

At the press meet, the reporter asked ,

"What's the secret behind your success?"

The shooter replied calmly, "You know...

It actually helps when your targets don't shoot back at you."

Just another day in the life of a soldier.

The Premises

She entered the premises with much anxiety.

It was here that her seniors had spent a few years

before flying off to distant places to 'live' their dreams.

She was old enough now.

She left her family behind and proceeded towards the signboard that read

"This way to ...

Senior Citizens' Retirement Home"

The Babe

I had waited for this moment ever since I saw her first.

She leaned hard against me as I grabbed her,

prompting me to carefully shift my weight around her graceful curves

to keep her pinned firmly to the ground.

Looking down at her, I realized how much I loved ...

my new Yam FZ 

The Think-Tank

He couldn't remember how long he'd been there,

but he felt much better already.

This place, where so many thinkers and philosophers had born,

would surely host his Eureka moment one of these days, he thought.

He felt light as he stood up to leave,

making sure he flushed before reaching for the door.

The Outbreak

The recent outbreak had infected me as well.

My heart was thumping unusually fast,

pumping more sweat onto my unkempt clothes

than blood into my veins.

My mind simply refused to make peace with my body.

My eyes moved frantically against heavy eyelids.

They wouldn't shut, I knew.

Not until I'm done with my 55er.
