Hippie Grass

If lavender was green,

make me a salad. 

If you were charming and true,

wrote a poem for you.

When the tea was warm,

rain had its romance.

But when I figured out the past,

the future looked bleak.

When the rays hit the bar,

rainbows dance to your brow.

When we were traveling,

we lost the map to the road.

I have a string,

but the band won't march for the lost glory. 

And That's A Wrap: I AM HE

It was not the usual Sunday morning, that Sunday, she felt like Jesus. Every new day was marked with new personality, new avatar. She read few chapters from the Book of John and could not wait to claim her reason for her birth in this world. She thanked Lord the Father for opening her eyes, asked for forgiveness for all the sins she had committed and promised to lead a life as pious as Jesus. She went to the kitchen, took a glass filled with water and commanded, “I am the Lord! I have turned this water into wine.”

She called her younger sister and asked her to drink the water, her sister being the rascal she was, played along. Within seconds she spilled it out. She said, “OMG! It’s wine. You are a miracle worker.”

She smiled.

She headed towards her father and asked, “You are free from all your sickness.” Her father looked at her in awe and replied, “My BP medicines are over will get some tomorrow.”

She pulled his hairs and shouted, “Go away, go away, sickness go away.”

 Hearing the commotion, her mom ran out from the bathroom wrapped only in a cotton towel. She cried, “My child, it’s time to admit you.”

Survived 2023...

What's Up With Nagalish Talk Shows ?

Of late, there has been a growth of Nagalish Talk Shows, thanks to the YouTube. The host uses either Nagamese or English to communicate depending upon the comfort of the guest. Hence, I am using the term, 'Nagalish'. 

What makes a Talk Show successful? Well,  it depends on the personality of the Host and the relevance of the Guest. Topics which are interesting, discussions which are beneficial, accusations which are scandalous, confessions which are sensational, make the Talk Show run up for a next season.

However, when it comes to Nagalish Talk Shows, I wonder why some of the hosts lack the basic etiquettes of showing patience and being a good listener. Many will agree with me on this point. There are some hosts who show great urgency to wrap up the episode as soon as possible. And then there are hosts who interrupt the flow of conversation by using the interrogative word, what? what? what? instead of, I beg your pardon or could you repeat it, please. Some hosts think it's okay to clear the throat and sniff even when the mic is on. Some node their heads too much and in the height of un-professionalism, some end up checking their phone or that piece of paper to proceed to the next question. It is always better to memorise the questions beforehand or to ask questions based on the preceding answer.

These are my observations and in no ways convey negativity, as I believe there is always a room for improvement. I like watching The Lungleng Show, the host is really polished giving me the vibes of young Karan Thappar. Anyway, kindly let me know in the comment section of what you think about the Nagalish Talk Shows.
