The Lufthansa flight from Newyork landed in Chennai at 2:15 AM, thirty minutes later than the scheduled arrival time. Mohanasundaram was waiting at the arrival terminal with increasing anticipation. He scanned the hundred faces coming out of the airport for his son. After about forty-five minutes, Arun kumar walked out, waving his hands [...]

Present Day
It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many tests after [...]

I remember the acuteness of your pain
When you were in love and you couldn’t tell him
We rode the midnight’s one, two, three a. m.’s,
Down the bleakest, blackest, newest paved
Suburban avenues, passing fields still with cows
“Will build to suit” developers’ beggings fencing them.
The little Honda a shaking speaker box
We were retro – we cranked up the [...]

SANTA’S HAT
By: Cynthia DiSciullo and William Zigmont
Sunshine leaned back into her comfy overstuffed chair,
Felt the amber glow and warmth of the fireplace there
The magic of a youthful mind is so very scrumptious and delicious
A charming place things are really-real even if they are fictitious
Rambleton Acres felt a jolt of winter’s mighty breath [...]

Coffee
When I awake each morning
I head right for the pot
To brew my cup of coffee
Black and steaming hot.
The first cup works its magic
Without it my day
Would be tragic.
The fragrant aroma so teasing
To my senses it’s so pleasing.
I’m now set to face the day
My worries washed away
Thank heavens I must say
For that first cup of coffee
That [...]

Discovery
I am always looking for you.
Is there Grand Central Station in Limbo?
If so, I am standing in it.
I am always looking for you.
I thought I glimpsed you a couple of weeks ago.
But I dismissed it.
I want to see you so much, I just thought
I saw you everywhere.
Then last week, I was sure [...]

As the world spins
ย
On awakening one morning
Feeling rather blue
I felt as though I had the flu,
But as the day went on
I started feeling quite chipper
So I slid out of bed
Right into my bedroom slipper.
I turned on the computer
To check the daily mail
I do this every morning without fail.
Junk mail as usual,
ย mail or [...]
