“ Mom,I have to carry a book to school tomorrow for our ,`D.E.A.R.’ Can I carry my Geronimo Stilton?”

“Sounds interesting,tell me more.” Her mother asked with curiosity and bookmarked the page of the book that she was reading and kept it aside as she felt a rush of exhilaration in Sara’s voice.

“It’s drop everything and read! Teacher has asked us to bring a book that we would love to read again and those books will be kept in one corner. It will be our library. We’ll be given half an hour for reading, soon after our lunch break, and we can pick up any book from that library and read.”

“Oh,that’s good! Tell me,why only Geronimo Stilton? How about Winnie the pooh?or Nancy Drew? Or The Little Prince?”

“I like them too but I like the illustrations and the colourful word art in Geronimo. There is a story with a moral in every book .Oh yes,the titles are very tempting too. 'THE SECRET OF CACKLEFUR CASTLE'!  If you read it once, you will love it too!” Sara seemed confident and then went out to play with her friends.

Her mother remembered how much she loved to read Nancy Drew when she was of her age, But every book has something to teach. She remembered a quote by A.A. Milne,"The things that make me different are the things that make me.” And she got back to her book ,"The Power of your subconscious mind.”by Dr. Joseph Murphy.

P.S.  Day 3# write tribe

Break-fast

Chocolate obsession,

dripped from the glass walls

and filled the morning

with bittersweet passion.

 Meanwhile,

cutting and chopping

of the fresh ideas

cooked and served,

as poetry 

dressed in mustard

subtly submerged

 in the spirited red.

P.S  Day 2 # write tribe

Memories

Memories visited and refreshed in circles,keep the past alive.

I have some fragmented memories,of the roaring waves that crashed at the shore, bursting into tears while they returned back,leaving the glimpses of the treasure, that the sea behold.

I have some memories of the raindrops,that rested on my palm, while I was too busy searching in the depths of my cornered self, while standing in my balcony with a cup of tea,waiting for the clouds to rain.

I remember,standing on the edge of illusions,that drowned me in the river that dwells in the dark.In that moment,it made me a stranger to my own self.

Refreshing some memories of dew drops and sunshine brings peace,as a new dawn arrives.This moment is special for me.

 In the next moment,I might erase my thoughts,go blank and create some new memories.
