we played hide and seek
with the giggles of their mirth
hiding place exposed
children are so delightful
remembering and smiling

Mumbai Monsoon
There was heavy rainfall last week, rains have reduced, still on and off they come with vengeance in heavy bouts. It’s cloudy with strong winds blowing. On Marine Drive its an occasion for the selfie lovers who in spite of the warning from the police department taking selfies DANADAN with pouts without inhibitions.
Long live Mumbaiyaas and their un-daunting spirit.
We are enjoying rains here which is scarce in Visakhapatnam.I’m also busy with my phone taking shot after shot.

They make lots of promises before the election
They forget everything after the election
Oh! these politicians
And their ambitions
Makes them bend over backwards to win the election

Or- The Daily Prompt
Do as I say OR
Bear the consequences
Threatened everyone
From parents to nature and God
I hated to be threatened
So broke every rule
And am
Suffering
The consequences
Now I have
Mellowed down
As I understand
Rules are
Not always
To dare you but
For your betterment
And discipline you
So better watch
Before saying no
Think carefully
Then accept and nod

Five Sentence Fiction – Freedom
Five Sentence Fiction – Freedom
FREEDOM
He was 15 days old when brought as a pet, kept with great care and love; still he longed to go outside and play with the street dogs and envied them for their freedom.
When he was one year old, in his quest for freedom he escaped one day and ran outside to play with other dogs but as soon as the peck of stray dogs saw him they chased him barking fiercely, scared he ran like hell and hid in the nearby forest where his foot got entrapped in a thin wire animal trap.
Thankfully dogs did not chase him in the forest; he was very much scared, hungry and longing for his owners care and love.
Somehow he managed to free himself and ran for his house where he was scolded by worried owners but given bath, food, love and soft bed to sleep.
Freedom is dangerous and risky he thought, bondage has its own comfort, security and convenience once you become accustomed to it.
Hoho Returns- End of Horror
My friend Archita asked “how can we get hoho back to earth now. ” then she gave me a suggestion “Load-shedding after 2 mins ..so She cannot eat the half grilled apple ; she throws it away . Hoho is half burned and half-powered now..He has to stay somewhere in the middle of earth and space and has to scare birds , helicopter , flight passengers to achieve full power once again . 
. Pepe and Popo are friendless now .. and together they start making a big plan now.. 2nd story starts

So Hi ! Archita here is HOHO back on your demand and as per your suggestions. Thanks.
HOHO Returns
Hoho, the ghost, was inside the apple, she kept it in the oven and switched it on.
Nothing happened. She remembered it was the power cut time. Cursing the electric dept. she took out the apple to roast it in the gas oven.
Knowing her intentions, Hoho fled like a hurricane, having pepe and popo on his tail.
They stopped when they were exhausted. They found themselves in a forest. Cool, comforting full of trees.
Hoho said ” I am done with this scaring business. I am not going there again. “
Pepe said, ” But we all will be expelled from our community.”
Hoho -” We will form other community, there are others who do not like this terrifying other and making life hard for people. they will join us.”
They all agreed to help people from now onwards.
That is how the angle ghosts and devil ghosts community was formed.
You may have noticed, when you are in distress, without any hope , in some difficult situation, Suddenly, someone out of nowhere comes and helps you. This is the Ho’s community. You have to have faith in them and they will help you.
As for the devils, beware of them, sometimes they may come in the disguise of angels, but if you are careful, you can recognize them.
Angels and devils
CONFUSION
On my way to the morning walk
I met a centipede
walking leisurely in the park
I asked him
“Which foot you move first”
He stopped on his way
Tried hard but could not decide
Leaving him there confused
Searching for an answer.
I moved on
While coming back
I saw it still there,
Scratching its head
I asked it what is the matter dear
He said
“I was walking before without doubt and confusion
Now I cannot decide
Which foot to move first
And this is the cause
Of my strife.”
It eyed me with disgust and said
“Some people
Can not take a right move themselves
but are busy in creating
confusion in others life.”

GRAVEYARD SONG
We are eternal lovers
breaking all shackles
Free from flesh
Free from boundaries
Free from hatred
Free from restriction
Free from culture,
Tradition and religion
Free from color,
Cast and creed
No one can part us now
No one can label or cover
us anymore
As we are immortal
Eternal lovers.
