* this is the spirit of my blog, which, in spite of my best efforts, it may fail to live up to in large parts. Every journey, though, has to start somewhere. So I would still request that you read the work, which is available under the three categories ‘Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Verse‘ and make your own judgement.  You could rate the work you read and/or, even better, leave your comments at the bottom of each post. The fourth category ‘Nothing Personal, But…‘ chronicles the little hiccups that make my life. I appreciate you taking the time and thank you from the very bottom of my heart. Good Day!


I am the flame
that liberates your soul
when the body dies,
fights the darkness inside.

I am the flame
that lives forever in your eyes,
ignites your desires,
breaths only to be alive.

I am the flame
that incinerates vice,
devours lies, creates when
it destroys, bless conjugal ties.

I am the flame
that lights the forest in
your mind, burns down the walls
that divide, sanctifies life.

Light a fire tonight,
and you’ll see
I’ll be the first flame
that reaches for the sky,
the last one to die.

    I have been out of Sulekha for almost dogs years…. was busy doing Nothing among other things…. just now read your msg… cutting the virtual umbilical was no big deal… but did miss all the mouse and keyboard fights we had on [...] .

    Hows your book coming up… think I would also pick up where I left my first chapter… problem is I can’t find the diary where I wrote the password for the file in my machine. ;-)

    nice blog you got… seems like its going to be a good read.

    cheers

      Hello Princess, the book writes itself if and when I let it. So I just try to stay out of its way.

      I appreciate you taking the time. Hope life is as vibrant as you like it.

  12. I read your blog today and I have to say that I have to agree with your husband. I see you as a feeler emotional who has intuition and feelings but facts are inconvenient things for you. You were totally unfair to him.

    I can offer my help if you like. I am a marriage,relationship and sexual coach. I can tell you that a man is never as emotionally vulnerable as when he approaches his wife for sex. You slammed the door in his face. When you force a man to masturbate alone, you build resentment towards you on his part
