I know this is a last minute theme reveal but I had to do this post in order to keep myself motivated for this years April A-Z blogging challenge. Last year, I went the no-theme way and wrote on a number of crazy and cool stuff. I got a chance to read some beautiful blogs and got acquainted to some lovely people from across the planet. How cool is that? :)  Last year's was a random  reminiscence  of blogging and this year is going to be an exciting, sweaty, fun-filled, poetic and sweet jolly ride with my theme -  26 days of Summer !!!  I just cant wait to get started!!! I bring to you a simple and poetic 26 days of summer with things that reminds me of summers, all things summer. Here goes my theme reveal poem. Hope you like it! :) The challenge begins tomorrow! Do read and share your summer experiences with me :) Like my Facebook page here- The Unruled Notebook

A child of a broken home The whole of autumn, I looked for her Spent 21 springs living for her She never came; but she will someday A pirate ship An empty tunnel A pebble walk A lotus pond And a sunflower Looking through the dragon fly’s wings With the mystical moonlight it clings It was one of the strange things I bowed my head and the church bell rings A hungry bird A stained wall The distant cloud A flower pot My college road And pink polka dots Love gives no guarantees One of the poisonous animosities I was able to pray again Numbness  ain't  a prolonging disease A scarecrow An umbrella The railway track A shooting star A wooden cart And algebra It would last After all, a loss is a loss New wonders and endless possibilities, Set yourself free, your life is just beginning!

It continued, “ F    O    O    L ” this time.   I banged heavily on the keyboard, thrashing my fingers. I then reached for the mouse to shut the computer down. The mouse moved away, as if some ingenious spirit has gotten into it. Grabbing hold of its cable, I pulled; trying to keep it in place. The cable pulled away from my hands and there it lay, hanging above my head. I moved away in an impulse, not wanting to be hit by a possessed mouse. The cable started dancing in the air, making shapes. The last shape I saw was that of a folded awareness ribbon. It came closer to me; I shout out and pass out, at the same time.   Realizat...
