The Spyglass

Deafening silence... (except for the clock's ticking) lights out... (except one) Wondering what I'm doing here?  Just trying to say about some people, some night birds (of course not the ones who are engaged in a chat with their dear ones, and of course not the film lovers or the video game lovers). Now I hope you got the category of people I'm trying to speak about. The ones who grab a book before going to sleep and forget that they were planning to sleep, as they get deeply engrossed in the magic of words.       Have you seen people reading books, to get sleep? Some people can doze off just by reading. Yeah and there are some others who loses their sleep just because of a book. There are people who go on and on and on reading until they reach the back cover, and that's when they realize that its been a long while. These people read a work by travelling along with the narrator, being part of every single event that takes place in the book. Sometimes they laugh,...

Extroverts are the loneliest creatures. Just wait to hear the rest before scorning upon the statement. Yes they are the easy-going ones or that's what everyone thinks. Extroverts - the ones who can talk to total strangers and befriend them quite easily, who is on full air in any social group, who leads, who plan stuffs for parties and meetings, the ones who are friendly, open minded and easily approachable.

You expect them to do all the talking even in an awkward situation. Do you think this is easy? It never was and never would be. An important feature of an extrovert is that they get boosted up when they are with people. They love talking and being with o...

So many artists bloomed up during the lock down period. So many writers, painters, singers, dancers, chefs, farmers and a whole lot. The people who couldn't do things due to their busy schedule utilized this period to finish the unfinished. Sounds good, right? but.. There is a category of artists whose minds nobody has ever dived into.  Do you know who they are? They are the ones, who can't sit idle even for a minute. They are the ones, whom you see chatting and laughing and going around gaily. The little butterflies who often fly into other's lives just in time to soothe them, never letting their own hidden sorrows to reveal. Now just imagine them during the lock down, with all those terrible embers inside ready to blaze up, with all those heavy storms waiting to sweep them off their feet..... Still wondering how all those miraculous works came up?   It's them. It's their heart put into words, the memories haunting them...the happiness they long for...the...
