264. Micro story

**

In Dubai Emirates flight I happen to see two celebrities ,my heart pounced

I saw Padmashri Sudha Murthy as her zone was announced 

And in business class I saw Anil Kumble seated with his family mid seat

I wait for such opportunities always to forfeit

I wished him ,he nodded with nice gesture and smile

Me being me , a selfie would make it a special mile

But he was in his personal space ward

And it wouldn't be right on my part to make someone awkward 

This was a little change I did for first time 

To live the moment and not capturing him in phone was also fine

Somewhere I was getting carried away by social media like

But I realise the real question if it's something I genuinely like 

The quantum of photos I use to click was too much 

Later I would just fill up phone and delete them such 

Now I learn to be minimalistic in this area with self love and zero bother 

To make sure I do things to express self and not to impress other

This small change is having a positive impact 

Social detoxification is a medicine to anxiety issues and it's a proven fact !!!

One more area that is bringing change in a good way 

Is to learn to pause the social media when it gets it's form of toxic play

Earlier the quantum of photos that was clicked were too many 

Filling up phone memory and didn't remember if I lived the moment any 

Now I learn to be minimalistic in this area with self love and zero bother 

To make sure I do things to express self and not to impress other

A small change in perspective and to respond than react 

Social detoxification and balancing emotions can lead to positive impact !!!

263. Eminent Avenue voice 9.9

 

Topic - About the night I lost part of myself and that feeling 

And how I am trying to recover towards my journey of healing 

My name is Priyanka Kamath and journaling my life experience in form of poem shelf 

That night when I realised I lost a part of myself 

One of the loss that took toll on my health 

Was losing hard earned monetary wealth 

I was victim of a scam net 

Revisiting surely makes my eyes wet

I used to fill up lucky draw vouchers in mall

Based on same I receive a call

I was asked to come in a hotel hall 

To accept the prize and in trap to fall 

An attractive package for travel was offered bruh!

Something too good to be true

The salesperson was too adamant even to give time to think 

Few lakhs amount was gone just in blink 

Eventually the company turned out to be fraud 

It was like a direct hit to our trust with Rod 

We seeked help with bank,police,legal way

But the company no longer exist and the owner has ran away 

The team was from my hometown 

It hits hard that I got deceived from whom I thought as own

The consequences was too deep

I lost focus on work and sleep

One motivation kept me going 

If fired from job and sitting home hoping 

Would do no good so best was to focus on work

Than crying over split milk and being a jerk 

Even today when I think about this deep seated ache

I feel let this be a nightmare for god's sake

I do believe in karmic account 

If something is written in fate ,it will !without my fault 

I count on my blessing that even if I had tears atleast had a shoulder to cry 

I can work harder to resume the monetary loss and try 

In life, relations matter the most 

'Health is wealth' I am grateful utmost 

If money would have got possession every other 

I would definitely get back my father and  Mother 

Their loss I can never compensate 

But life indeed gives each day as a fresh slate

Losses are inevitable at times

Such experience have made me wise!!!

I a m travelling as I record that can be disturbance please don't mind 

That night took disturbing turn for me to realise this  real life kind 

This is one of the costly lessons I claim as mine 

Thank you for listening and taking time

262. Trick or treat

 Review 

Profound❤️

A moment of unexpected kindness and the regret of a missed relationship are beautifully juxtaposed. The internal conflict outlined—from initially saying “no,” to quickly offering a gift, and ultimately the anxiety surrounding the meeting—is immediately palpable. The themes of missed opportunities and the innate joy that comes from a small effort are beautifully captured, and are commendable.❤️

Keep writing 

Keep inspiring

 ❤️*Trick or trick*

To my place rarely people visit

First time a little girl came in asking for Halloween trick or treat 

Instantly I said no as I was not ready 

The girl was going her way steady 

As she was going I gave her a chocolate 

She was already leaving so I grabbed one before getting late

I remembered I had few more 

I searched her even more 

But I couldn't find this sweetie anyway

Seated in reception I kept waiting to see if she passes by 

Little laxmi came my home for first time 

I didn't have anything much to give his sunshine 

Opportunity knocks door only once may be 

I would love to see again this cute baby 

I am happy atleast I could give her one treat rather than deny 

Hadn't I given  that, my regret would multiply

Still was feeling anxious so I came to sit in open air 

My heart which is easily hurt and overthinks needs care

I checked with security guard too 

She was found nowhere in camera was she even true ?

260. Happy Diwali 2025

 Any occasion for me

connects with a memory 

Example -Writing Happy Diwali in bathroom 

After a deep clean up on each room

Was something I followed back then 

I feel emotional as I pen 

I used to feel joy when I visited my parents home to rest 

Even with all their health issues they ensured to give their best 

After they are gone it's a empty feeling within 

The home needs a lot of upgrade to Stay in 

Its like now I need to ask relatives if I can stay in their place 

I know Hotel is always preferred but then I was hopeful in this case

But the dull responses made me realise how much things change

With my parents beside the book named life had the most colorful page 

By this , Diwali teaches me people celebrate just the sparkling cracker

Notes taken and updated in my life's tracker 

After a long time I held a sparkling stick in my hand 

It taught me to leave worries behind 

As I revisit again instance that hurt more 

I end up living in past and like touching fire to core 

Diwali is also about new beginnings 

Many times through these festivities we can restart life's fresh innings 

I learnt to make a few changes in the way I speak 

Also to not respond immediately when I am in my anger peak 

Diwali sweets teaches me to have natural sweetness from within

And lights gives a kind reminder to shine bright and put worries in bin 

Light is always present in universe hub

But it illuminates when a match stick rub

Same way God is always present 

But prayers helps to feel almighty presence 

Each of my experiences good or bad is a way to make me more wise 

This festival of light teaches me after each fall , I will rise 

Extra 

Diwali day we didn't have off for work 

I am reaching late to home and missing the firework

The only regret I have is the home key is in my bag pack 

And my spouse had to wait till I am back

I am angry with myself that how much ever I try , somethings do miss 

Next time we can be more cautious to keep separate keys with us 

Earlier too similar instance had happened with lesser intensity 

But then I was in the same vicinity 

As we had not learned our lesson to be alert 

Through this expe

rience we will never miss our keys apart 

259.* Dramora*

 Design an emotion no human has felt it yet . Name it , describe it's bodily signs and write a 40 word stanza to evoke it .

* Dramora*

There are multiple elements in this universe yet to be explore

One such is an emotion within, this day I discover 

Each of the instances in my life has made a cassette of memory

It can be as small as watching a serial in TV 

Example - I used to see a lot of emotional drama then 

My mind captured that the lead actress is immune to negativity even 

And when she would make the opposite person realise his mistake

He would come back to her and give her the validation fake 

Somewhere this emotion captured in me in such a way 

That I used to enjoy being in a state of dismay 

Let me give one example where my strange emotions fairly 

In college once I saw someone doing my mockery 

I confronted them in dramatic flip 

Made them realise I am hurt so that they go in guilty trip 

Next day I would literally enjoy within I swear 

Just making them realise how bad they were

This particular emotion is a kind of manipulative trait 

Just as how we have a click bait 

Digging dive, it has layers to peel 

Let me name this emotion 'Dramora'

Which means inner mood in Drama aura

Seeking validation within to feel 

But bad side of it is embracing self pity 

Choosing emotionally unavailable person over dignity 

one of the drawbacks is that Dramora is - it's addictive 

A temporary pleasure would make instant moodlift effective 

And I would fall in this loop of wanting that feel 

It was slowly taking my focus and will 

It takes me a lot of efforts and self discipline to keep away Dramora 

And get back my true self, my aurora 

Everyone has this option to choose with mind free

That's a different thing that in my case Dramora chooses me 

But staying away with this emotion is a daily challenge 

Self awareness and discipline is the onl

y antibiotic to not engage !!!

258.Silence writes a monologue to justify it's existence - present that speech

 

*Monologue of silence* 

My best friend is Priyanka all this while

She keeps her baggage in me  to pile 

One day she bursts out of tears

In me she stores all her fears 

As a child she was timid and had trauma 

She never spoke up even when needed always glued to her Amma

Slowly public speaking made her confident 

But she stills loves my company as I am her confidant 

She is easily hurt and often emotional yet keeps smile

She often vent out feelings in wrong time 

One such experience with her in-laws 

Even after feeling sorry , till today she feels at flaws 

So now she keeps me close and chooses silence trait strong 

Doesn't mean she is accepting something wrong 

Just that at times when words can spoil things 

Silence can set free as if she possess imaginary wings 

In silence she can revisit the story and structure the climax 

Same situation which looked worst seems better to its max

Example - Priyanka had met a bunch of good people in her recent trip 

She wanted to maintain a healthy relationship 

But the person completely ignored her in due time 

And only in silence she understands this response is also fine 

She understands her worth is not measured by someone's response 

Without silence she would only be upset and pounce

Given same situation she would still be nice 

But now silence has taught her that not reconnecting is wise

My mere presence communicate more than a word

Meaningful silence can save from damage in situation absurd !!!

257. Caged

 Derived from sip of intoxication 

Situation in life once felt unfavorable,

Mind diversion once seemed pleasurable

Happiness string had slipped away

Focus lost in a silent sway

For this person, I was a sip of intoxication,

To vent out discomfort and seek relaxation.

Once overwhelmed, now by God’s grace, I am free from the cage

Each day is fresh page, my spir

it engage !!!
