Sunny Side Up!

Walk that walk, run that mile, fly that distance…

Measure your steps with baby trots or

Take confident long strides,

With a sprightly prance!

Walk with a spring in your step like nothing matters, Take that leap of faith, soar above the obstacles.

Walk away from hurt, disappointments and expectations,

They're aren't your shackles!

Embrace your flaws, the fragmented and the splintered you

Even the moon shines as a crescent, whether in full, in slices

It's presence can't be denied, it causes tidal waves and tsunamis even when eclipsed or new!

Every frosty winter ends heralding a summer sunshine

Nature teaches us to live our lives in phases...

Love the rhythm of your feet trudging uphill through all the dunes, valleys and dales, my dear

Revel in the glow of every sunrise and sunset

Isn't the view from the mountaintop, spectacular?

Its the burst of colors , patterns and splashes on the vast sky ever so unique, Oh boy!

A celestial show to begin and end our day with peace and joy.

An obsidian inky sky too promises a splatter of diamonds winking

Starshine is the twinkling hope as a rosy hued sky is laminated by rising dawn shimmering

God has painted each ones life journey according to his divine plan with our own unique burst of colours

Look up at life! It's Sunny-side up with myriad hues and flavours!

PURPLE CARNIVAL

On a clear Autumn evening, I'm a whole lot differently in love with the splash of feeble purple on the dusking skies, a hybrid of Lavender laced with Heather. It's a garden of blooms with streaks of Fuchsia and Mulberry, a medley of regalia. A pale Violet is the the vintage elegance of my timeless sundress as I twirl away to my heart's content, the cares of the world jettisoning away on the puffs of dandelions. Plum is the zing of the freshness a wine ushers in on a barbeque evening. The seasonal blueberry ice cream bars with drizzles of Lilac are the cool respite I look forward to with a side of Grape sorbet ! Byzantine is a powerful stance as I hold my audience captive. An incandescent Mauve is soothing with a tone and forthcoming promises. A lustrous Amethyst Rose Quartz dangling on my bracelet is the crystal of my choice dazzling my Crown Chakra. Periwinkle is a whisper of a charming desire of the heart. Iris, although dainty, exude...

DAINTY PINK DREAMS (DAY 2 ARTOONSINN NAPOWRIMO

# DAY 2 #ARTOONSINN NAPOWRIMO DAINTY PINK DREAMS Spring comes like the long awaited pink dream The sun-kissed air spilled with a perfume of woody almond and vanilla ice cream… Cherry blossom bouquets in vivid contrast to the skies a deep cerulean, The glow of champagne blush, serenading the cotton-candy clouds with their wistful paean! It's the wedding of blooms of hue lilac, lavender, magenta, and white Silken petal confetti showering the earth with their gratitude and delight! In the moonlight they're incandescent pearls on a gnarled bough Lustre washed silver shimmer by a celestial artist through and through! The swelling buds are a candy-floss lollipop bunch Childhood memories drench me, I wish to indulge again in tall glasses of taffy punch… Pic Courtesy: Pixabay ©️ Sangeetha Kamath Prabhu

A GIFT I GIVE MYSELF

Books and more books 📚! All I talk about are books and Babylou. And for good reason. One is my creative board and the piece of my heart is a wise Sounding Board. When I interact with either of them I get great eye openers and enlightenment. There's of course a story behind this with these two main star casts and in no way are disconnected at all with random mentions. Yeah, so with all my Ring Binder Journals and the various diaries having been filled to the brim with my daily writing plus visual embellishments, they now look no less than chunky blocks--overfed and hard to shut close. Having almost run their course, it was time to get new ones to document the rest of the year. Amazon showed me the Paperideas A5 Journals with a shipping price to Singapore that would buy me month's worth of groceries for the household! Heck, ah ?! What the...! Is it trimmed with gold and encrusted with precious gems ! Plus the aesthetic pastel colours were all SOLD OUT with only some ga...

A~Z BLOGGING CHALLENGE THEME REVEAL 2026

Still indecisive 🤔 The commitment is intimidating, yet this will be my third year of participation that makes me want it to come full circle. Third time's a charm it's said. In 2024, I posted 26 blogs from A~Z--micro fiction, long stories, short stories, poems ( oh yes!) in a motley of genres Magic Realism, Surrealism, also a Creature Horror, a Sci Fi thriller *( in dedication to David Duchovny from X-files who was a crushing heartthrob back in my ancient days haha 😆)* all which can be concised into a broader group --FANTASY ! That was my debut year in the Bloggers world and I completed the event with a flourish. **** 2025 was a year. I had to suspend the event midway through it and fly urgently back home for the major part of April. The theme then was a Mixed Bag. Reflections, Lifestyle, Wellness and Self Care principles were the topics I touched upon with A~Z titles all in foreign languages. That was the USP of my blogging challenge last year. A mini fantas...

FIRSTS AND SECONDS

The day began like any other August morning in Singapore but the nip in the air embraced me a bit tenderly today and I just wanted that extra dose of coziness. August 21st ! Today marks a significant milestone in my life - the anniversary of my open heart surgery . It's a day I'll never forget, a day that gave me a second chance at life. As I look back on the past year, I'm filled with gratitude and awe at the journey I've been on. An Open Heart Surgery and a collateral damage of a minor stroke that had left my limbs immobilized on the left side whilst in the ICU right after shifting from the OT . A gruesome 7 hrs must have gone by before I regained consciousness and informed them about it. I was hurriedly wheeled in for an MRI which revealed a tiny clot which must have occurred when I was plugged into the heart-lung machine during the surgery. A 3% chance of freak accident I signed a disclaimer for. With swift action from the team of cardiologists and neurolo...
