Not its brick and mortar nor steel and glass or wood, I have a great place to write about Yes, my home where I planted a soul, cultured my heart among its people down the years I couldn’t forget, where I kept my memories in a chest I felt secure-- the key to make me belong there, where I wish to go...

I was alone on that deserted road. Darkness engulfed me like my brooding thoughts. Tomorrow loomed large like a big question. Plans for the day went wrong. Yes, I couldn't find the right job.

Yesterday’s Jaipur (Rajasthan, India) serial blasts were nothing but a testimony to the indefatigable and reprehensible terror hand getting upper hand over the hands that are supposed to cover and protect the commoner on the streets.
