The people of Kadalil could be fickle in matters of the heart. The tongue that joked could also be malicious. They allowed some affairs. In some cases, their interference was invasive and persistent, and made families #seethe with shame and rage, even self-destruct.

I was known as the Elena Ferrante of the East.
Blurbs changed when my identity was revealed.
"Cheat!"
"Writing as a woman!"
"Plagiarized my infidelity."
"Calls religion god's cruel #prank on humanity!"
Friends got reimbursement.
Lost solitude. Found loneliness.

about...
the list is too long
the excuses are quite good
no inconvenient #promises to dodge

that too is obvious
everyone understands

silent

"Sorry," He said.
"Me too," The Other said.
For their soldiers, it was just another #skirmish over ideology.
"Sorry?" I said.
"You should have been the collateral damage," He said.
"Not your love," The Other said.
I left God, Devil and their crew to be all alone.

A man is beating his wife. She refuses to cower before him, getting up like a nearly KO-ed #boxer, giving back with a guttural hoarse tongue.
A young man in the gathering crowd approaches them. To help. The wife turns on him. The crowd laughs. Cheers for the fighters.

Even pundits in the #realm of online dating would call our chat risqué:
-Can’t wait.
-Same here.
-Come.
-There?
-Kitchen's ready.
-Prefer kitchen?
-Where else?
There, her mom opened the door. “She told me to take her place.”
Pleasure-filled hour.
Cooking biriyani.

Why did I waste life
For a dream girl who said bye?
To lose, to find #self.

it is tough to be in the middle of the road
not knowing not wanting to cross to either side
it is a stranger world out there
status quo is better
waiting to be crushed
“End of #someone,
end too late.”
forever in the middle
should i cross

Joined an online matrimonial site.
My proposal: “Looking for a trustworthy companion.”
I got declined even before I swiped right.
Contacted the admin about the #glitch.
The reply: “You have been blocked – trustworthy people do not look for trustworthy companions.”

Nothing
Chills one to the #marrow
More than a horror
That gets worse
With each retell.
Whenever
I thought
I have seen the worst
There comes along
Another politician.

When they reached the mountain-top, she was exhausted, exhilarated and gave a whoop of #joy.
He looked at her and said, “You have bird-shit on your face and front.”
She glared at him.
He came close. With tissues, he wiped her face, slowly, with a light caress, cleaning her cheek, her jaw, the right side of her neck, her collarbone, a few specks on the collar of her shirt; he opened a button and wiped the last below the collarbone, a little above the right rising heaving breast. Then, he used another set of tissues with water and cleansing soap. He buttoned her shirt at the end. They looked into each other’s eyes a few times but they did not speak.

Sauce, herb, dainty? She replied,
"Sesquipedalian."

To control earthlings (b4 MAD & #radioactive disaster):
1. Destroy belief in democracy and the republic.
(a) People vote for 'the best of the worst'.
(i) Voters can't make out who is left, right, center, fascist or religious fundamentalist.
(ii) Use rich androids to influence the masses.
(iii) Increase the number of jobless addicted to losing gambles.
(iv) Mollycoddle the middle-class before extermination.
(b) Update software if you need 1(b).

#vss365 #myopic
Socalgia is a type of pygalgia.
For the sake of generality, “soc” here includes any channel of chatter and social networking using information and communication technology (ICT). It should be emphasized here that the “pain” relates to that experienced at a personal and psychological level and does not include the distress caused by virulent attacks involving identity theft, virtual bullying and hate-mongering.
In its first decade, the rapid growth of various channels of chatter via ICT was mostly viewed through rosy, though #myopic, lenses. In its second decade, businesses and governments realized its immense scope.
What began as a means for virtual bonhomie has evolved into the proverbial Trojan horse. Even ardent fans ask, "It feels good but what lies within?"
