My Umbrella

Yesterday I was bearing the brunt of Poseidon's fury. The whole territorial waters of a small sleepy hamlet in Bengaluru --where I live-- had kept me busy. As I was wading through these in order to reach my destination which is a refreshment outlet, the journey was harrowing and thoughtful.

I was pensive because of the slush and this torrential downpour had left me wondering which road to walk on. Even the footpath was miry and it left me with no option, but to wade through the muddy waters.

The drenching part was missed because I always carry an umbrella. Come rain or sunshine, I never stop. I am equipped to deal with Poseidon or Helios. Are you?

The Reading Isotope

There is a saying that goes thus, 'You are what you read.' Well, it is true to the extent that whenever one buys a book, he has a goal to achieve. This can be to increase knowledge in a certain area. Some buy to have a great collection of books and stick to their genre that enthuses them.
