Decision: The Foundation of Life
Ayan sat on a park bench, staring at the rippling water of the small lake before him. The late afternoon sun cast golden reflections on the surface, yet his mind was clouded with uncertainty. He was faced with a decision that had the potential to alter his life forever. For the past five years, he had worked as a junior executive in a corporate firm. It was a stable job, providing him with a decent salary and a comfortable lifestyle. But deep down, he felt trapped. His true passion lay in writing, something he had neglected for years in the name of security. And now, an opportunity had arrived—one that could either fulfill his dreams or leave him struggling financially. A renowned publishing house had offered to publish his novel. The catch? He would need to dedicate himself full-time to writing, as they required him to complete two more books within the next three years. Quitting his job meant stepping into uncertainty, with no guarantee of financial stability. But continuing in his current job meant suppressing his dream forever.

January and February 2025: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
I messed up. In complete honesty, 2025 has been a whirlwind of difficulties and lessons that have humbled me in its entirety. Though lasting only two months in its stretch, I have danced through the storms that have wearied the brevity of my soul. Some days were radiating with a sense of hope and oozing peace that displayed the possibility of a bright future, while others had a sense of doom, the kind of despair that doesn't go away with a full night's sleep, or ice cream or a warm bubble bath. It is the kind of tiredness that lingers onto your soul in its deepest trench, leaving no room for any light to enter.

The Pain Echoed by That Laughter...
The Pain Echoed by That Laughter... School days—an era of innocence, a sky painted with endless memories, and the silent blooming of unspoken dreams. These years carve countless imprints on the heart, some fading with time, others remaining as scars that never truly heal.

Disturbed Mating Unleashes Karma. AI-Generated.
Throughout history, various cultures and spiritual traditions have regarded the mating of animals as a sacred and natural act, deeply connected to the cycles of life and cosmic energy. Disturbing this process is often considered inauspicious and a sign of bad luck, as it disrupts not only the natural order but also the subtle energies that govern life. In many belief systems, mating represents fertility, creation, and the uninterrupted flow of divine energy. Hindus, for instance, believe that nature operates in a precise rhythm, and any human interference in such intimate moments disturbs this divine balance, leading to karmic consequences.

Sipping Wisdom: A Personal Journey of Meeting My Younger Self Over Coffee
The air permeated a sense of calmness and stillness as I entered the coffee shop ten minutes late, I saw my younger self sitting there reading a book as she was sipping on her favourite caramel ice cream latte. Engrossed in her tale, she scrunched her nose as she did not like a particular stance of the story, I smiled with a serenity-filled eye as I saw the beauty of innocence brimming in her eyes. Hurrying across the table I told her sorry I was late and she said it was no problem. She asked me what I would like to have and I ordered an iced mocha frappuccino as she made room for me to sit alongside her on the table.

Introduction This was meant to be a comic observation of the standard of my writing and the various responses and non-responses that I observe on Vocal and further afield, but it is really a confessional piece, though you may find things that make you laugh or smile.
