Cubes of relief

 Friday word: Ice Title: Cubes of relief Ramsingh turned off the compressor which was used to compress low pressure refrigerant vapour to high pressure vapour, and then deliver it to the condenser. The functioning of the condenser was Balwant's zone. He refrained from poking his capabilities into someone else's abilities. It was 5pm and he looked forward to joining his clan for a hot steaming kulhad of tea. Cups were not his cup of tea.  But before that he had to wait so that Balwant does the needful to the compressor so the cube manufacturing unit be closed and the keys duly handed to Thapa, the watchman. Without an exchange of word or glance, Balwant and Ramsingh managed the ice producing unit. There were workers under them who communicated but these two were icy cold to each other. Yet, the marvel was the team functioned smoothly never allowing a cube to melt frivolously. The squeaky sound of the large compressor had died down. Balwant adjusted his blue turban of pride and ...

 Friday word: Beneath - Hindi -Tale, Niche Neele gagan ke tale,  dharti ka pyar pale....  Bas ek kavita aur uski panktiya khafi hai zindgi haseen ke liye.

Ab pike, office jaane ki ghustaki kijeye." Mohabhat aur shayriyo se pet nahi bharta, iss hakikat se ghustaki toh nahi kar sakte?  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * "Bhaiyaji, wo niche wale tamatar dijiyega.

Idle Mind's Workshop

 Crack.. Crack.. Tak.. Tak... The mind was merrily building away stories. "Who is that new chick on the 12th block? What is she doing at the gynaec's clinic? Who are they pushing into the car? Why is the dog barking? When will it stop barking? How many barks are done and how many remaining? STOP... Stop the thread or I would go mad! Now don't question my sanity for I had long lost it along with my maturity. Wow! Mentally I yelled so loudly that even the dog had responded. It was now just growling in the throat and me in the mind.  Yes my Idle Mind was productively busy in its workshop. Ya correct the Devil's one for my pet name was Satan or the Hindi version Shaitan. My mind had taken me to places where my crooked body couldn't pace up. It had carried me on its hump back of imagination and shown me the eight wonders. Not of the world but of others mind. Yes secretly we both had tiptoed to the realms of minds next doors.  Like few days back, my mind could smell the ...
