Twenty years have passed – Twenty summers with the length of twenty long winters. Again, I hear the waters rolling from the mountain springs. Yes, I was right in front of the Milk Union in connection with some personal works. Most of my colleagues have retired but those young chaps, now in their early fifties, …

It’s 50-50!
The lousy weather which had been in great form for several days disappeared after giving way to the much-awaited sunny days. Yes, the sky is blue to the core as the sun made the atmosphere warm and bright! And yet, I was not able to fully enjoy the warmth of the sun or the beauty …
A Breakthrough Indeed!
Writers of fiction and facts often get themselves stuck up somewhere and look around for a breakthrough. It could be a glorious evening and the accompanying sunset or small and interesting events which relieve them from monotonous hours and days. I too am a writer of sorts or rather a self-proclaimed one! My way of …
Poles apart
“When to the session of sweet silent thought, I summon up the remembrance of things past”.

To be or not to be? That’s the question … whether it’s ok to walk all the way to that small tulip garden or to stand here and enjoy the beauty? No, I must go there, no matter how steep the road to that garden is. Though the flowers are violet and tulip like from …
