I read a version of this story somewhere many years ago. I believe someone sent it to me in the mail. Ergo, don’t bop me over the head if you’ve read it before. There was a farmer who was an enthusiastic horse breeder. He specialized in breeding race horses. He collected different breeds of horses […]

An Hour In The Garden
I don’t know why I have come into the garden today. Everyday when I return from training, I go straight upstairs. Today, I didn’t. Instead of turning right from the gate towards the stairs, I turn left into the garden. I take off my sandals and walk barefoot in the cool, moist grass. The garden […]
Just Making Money
A few months ago, a former net acquaintance got back in touch with me after an interval of almost three years. You know how you meet people on the net and sort of drift away after a while, don’t you? On an aside, I am sometimes wonder if we drift away because there is something […]
Passion Room (Fini)
Continued fromPassion Room (One), (Two) and (Three) I chafed against all the conditions the Guild had imposed. At first I was annoyed about the three item limit.

Admission formalities were completed via e-mail and electronic money transfer. The institute had promised me assistance in finding accommodation. Coaching is the biggest business in this town. The citizenry […]
Passion Room (One)
It was war! The air was thick with dust and the acrid, metallic stink of gun- powder. The heat was scalding and steamy. Sounds of heavy artillery drowned out hoarse voice shouting orders; orders which carried an edge of horrified terror. My heart pounded uncomfortably in my chest; the lance of panic held me impaled. […]
Mis(sed)-Communication
Naina was livid! She was extra careful about shutting the door quietly behind her as she came out of her boss’ cabin. She was afraid she might bang the door hard enough to splinter it to pieces. “Of all the aggravating people!” she fumed to herself with a clenched jaw and smouldering eyes. What on […]
Expanded Consciousness
A profound commitment to peer deeply into each moment to see how best you might discover, absorb and experience life, will open you up to experience a state of Expanded Consciousness. A state of Expanded Consciousness is created when your mind and soul co-join. This is when the experience of life meets the awareness of […]
