Crochet artist who is an avid reader, who contemplates & scribbles her thoughts to share.....             'Shama the dancing flame' is a collection of poetry commensurating compilation of poet's compilation to alight of a sandalwood lamp that spreads its warmth and calming balm from beginning to the end.                      A book written as a tribute to author's supportive mother, it unfurls the multifarious facets of women, gradually being ascertained by Esma's each chapter and verse.              Akin to life of 'Shama' of 'flame' the selfless nature of women to burn and brighten the life of everyone around and glow in benevolent longanimous light is vividly expressed.

Lingua Franca

Crochet artist who is an avid reader, who contemplates & scribbles her thoughts to share.....                   How do you define  homosapiens? .....Memories....which in turn builds up the algorithm that defines us. If  00001111  defines one person, then a variation of 00010111 defines the other. That fault in the algorithm are the defining moments around which each one of us develops a personality to function, to respond and act to a given command.                    If memories are the defining force, pablum is the driving force. World runs on and for vittles and victuals. The variety of grubs and cuisines are the proof.                   If you look at it in a strictly technical sense....unless if electricity wouldn't  have had been invented,  an electronic brain  wouldn't have been invented.

My childhood was spent listening to stories that we insisted be repeated over and over again. His unique storytelling style with pauses for yawns would invariably lull us to sleep during bed time. I still am intrigued if yawning was an innuendo for us kids that it’s time to sleep or would my dad actually auto-suggest himself to sleep. 😊 Reading to kids or telling them stories is the best way of learning. Chapter I Ghost Is In Your Mind                 I look forward to these evenings that t...
