It was a chance to connect with writers, bloggers, RJs and social media influencers.
Words were exchanged and knowledge was gained when a few got together.

Talent is everywhere and such meets help to nurture,
Inquisitive questions and elaborate answers awakened the lazy souls to get up from their stupor. 

Kids at SEA

6.9.2017

Shaista's English Academy (SEA) Khandwa

Kids at SEA

Peppa Pig, Sunita Williams

 or Kalam,

These kids have watched them all.

They love the time spent here at SEA,

They reach the class too early

and peep the door to look for me.

The latch opens, they rush inside like the local train passengers

whose train will stop only for a little while.

The queries, giggles, book reading, dictation,  writing activities and permissions for going to the loo.

For an hour the optimism can be felt in the room.

How much shall I write?

There's so much to say about the

honest eyes and real smiles,

tired bodies with fresh minds.

Period

Picture Courtesy-Anonymous

At midnight she felt the spasm

sleepily dragged the hand

to the drawer and wore the pad.

Sleep disturbed, feet got cold

a hot bottle soothed the pain.

Stomach groaned of hunger

and the uterus of unbearable pain.

The half-eaten chocolate on the shelf

melted in the golden wrap.

The fingers dug deep into the chocolate ball

She slept until morning all curled up.
