In the Boardroom

Excitement high

Gathering of the bigwigs

Discussion papers hang

With Blackberrys in their hands

Tension in the air palpable

Everybody in their nerves

Decisions are awaited

On issues that are long going to be served

Discussions begin

Gazes stern

Reasons demanded

Explanations provided turn by turn

Tea mugs poured in

Spreadsheets in discussion

Myriad proposals on the table

Pros and cons presented in every possible fusion

Papers ruffled with clammy palms

Some rejects but acceptances are high

With each passing agenda

The employees breathe a relieved sigh

Instructions doled out for the upcoming meet

Pens and diaries, how fiercely each other they greet

And then as the ends are drawn

Relief on faces finally starts to dawn

Five Sentence Fiction - Waiting

‘I tried, alright and you know I can’t..’ my sentence trailed off.

‘How can you say you can’t, are you ever going to learn ?’, she went on ranting.

The two voices fought inside my head, while I waited for some magic that would teach me the skill of saying things to people on their face during an argument rather than in my head after the whole scene was over and done with !!
