I started this last week and I had high hopes (Why only high, why not wide as well?) that it would catch on, people would post it on their blogs and then so on. Hubris strikes the scaliest too!
Anyhow, to tweak the one rule a little (and I know few of you followed the honor system…;)), you can add a phrase to complete the story and take as much time as you’d like to, which you were anyway! 😛
Today’s phrase is…..
“He fell back in his chair….”
My attempt,
“….and the gun fell silently on to the carpet”
Your turn. Go!
About hbhatnagar
I need to fill this up with much better content than I had populated it with earlier. Why I write a blog maybe? I started blogging in 2009 or thereabouts. I was a newly turned atheist and wanted to converse with others of the same persuasion. We're not exactly a big population group in India! It didn't go very well and I sort of lost interest, posting a few things now and then.
I got a lot more regular over the last few months and have been posting almost daily since February '15. There were many reasons why I gradually became more regular in posting, but one way or the other, here I am! So this blog has taken shape, being at different points in time my showcase, my comedy club, my art gallery, my book club, my therapist, my close friend, my innermost self....but always my little corner of the world. You are all welcome to visit and I hope you stay awhile!
A few points about me because I don't want to lead anyone on(and trust me this does become an issue more often than I'd care to admit).
I'm Indian, the brown-skinned variety; if race, ethnicity or skin colour is an issue, you don't have to get to know me any more than what you see on my blog.
I'm 40, so if age is an issue, please be informed accordingly.
I was a doctor, an ophthalmic surgeon for 10 years before I quit practice.

Posted by Kritika Vashist | 10/07/2015, 12:00 AMThat reminded me of a song by the Punjabi poet the late Shiv Kumar Batalvi
“Vel jad vi mili hai farzaan ton
Tere mukh di kitaab le baitha”
“Whenever I’m free from all my care
I read the book that’s you my dear”
I know that’s a loose translation, but I’m doing it on the run, so to speak. 🙂

I know I broke the rule by adding additional sentence but it is my first post on your blog so I am allowed to break rules.
Anyways, I completely love different variety of topics you write on and I am excited to read more slowly. Keep up the good work and keep smiling.
