 एक छोटी कहानी   एक बंदरिया थी। उसका नाम 'रिया' था। वह  बहुत ही नटकठ थी। वह रोज बोलती थी - 'मुझे केले खाने हैं'। मां सुनती थी और रोज अपनी बच्ची को केले खिलाती थी। एक दिन माता जी, केले देना भूल गई। जब रिया की मां, रसोई घर मे खाना पका रही थी, उस को अचानक एक आवाज सुनाई दिया। जब मां ने खिड़की से झाँककर देखा तो माँ ने प्यारा दृश्य देखा। उसकी लाड़ली, आम के पेड पर उछल खूद  रही थी। देखते देखते, रिया पांच आम खा गई।  'शायद उसका पेट भर गया होगा' एसे सोचकर, रिया की माँ, शांत हो गई। जब रिया लौट आई, उस ने बोला - "माँ, मुझे भूख लग रही है। मुझे केले खाने हैं'। यह सुनकर, उसकी मां हसने लगी। उसने प्यार से बोला -" रिया, ये केले खा लो"। उसने रिया को पांच केले दिए। केले को देखकर, रिया बहुत खुश हुई। उसने बोला - "मां, धन्यवाद'। खुशी के साथ, रिया ने केले का स्वाद का मज़ा लेना शुरु कर दिया। हर मां अपने बच्चे की खुशी चाहती है। एस्॰पद्मप्रीया

 Vasanta Panchami Let us fall into a reverie, A kind of sweet surreal sleep, With all of nature and existence, After the year's tiring and exhaustion. The air brings sweet fragrances, Nature seems engrossed in communion, Basant Panchami is the beginning, Of the spring season. Let us worship Goddess Saraswati, To fill us with creative energy, The lucky ones will take a dip in the Triveni, Let's end prejudice and hegemony. Romantic is this season, It is not without a reason, Rati and Kama, Are coming with joyful frissons! Dr. S. Padmapriya

 A Poem for Lockdown Tiny! No one knew what ‘Tiny’ really meant, Till they met someone really tiny. ‘Name’s Corona, I have tied humanity up, In the confines of homes and mental ramparts, People aspire to get back to ‘normal’ routines, No. They can’t!  A mere virus has taken over the world, Like a brute force....blitzkrieg might sound better! ‘Look at the vastness with eyes new, You have almost forgotten how to sing or be joyful, Forget the bitterness of the past, Look at relationships anew, Heal nature and your broken hearts, I am a voluptuous opportunity, Not just a rotten problem, Get out of quagmires of human greed and folly, Use hope and wisdom to pull out, Pick up your quivering spirits! Become the child you once were, Look at the vastness with eyes new!’ Dr.S.Padmapriya

  Magic realism  or  magical realism  is a style of  literary fiction  and  art . It paints a  realistic  view of the world while also adding  magical  elements, often blurring the lines between  fantasy  and  reality . [1]  Magic realism often refers to literature in particular, with  magical  or  supernatural  phenomena presented in an otherwise real-world or mundane  setting , commonly found in novels and  dramatic performances . [2] : 1–5    Despite including certain magic elements, it is generally considered to be a different genre from  fantasy  because magical realism uses a substantial amount of realistic detail and employs magical elements to make a point about reality, while fantasy stories are often separated from reality. Magical realism is often seen as an amalgamation of real and magical elements that produces a more inclusive writing form than either  literary realism  or  fantasy . [4] Source: Internet
