   " COFFEE- A ' MOST WANTED' BEVERAGE"  He: Why don't we have some coffee? (smiling shyly) She: I am afraid, no. (in a submissive voice due to a  sudden invitation) He: Please. This is a business meeting, and that means coffee is essential. Without coffee, there appears to be something missing.  She: Okay. For me, a grande non-fat caramel mocha with whip. (smiling from ear to ear) (The image has been downloaded from fb.) Isn't it a great pleasure to hang out and enjoy a brewed beverage and a schmooze? Well, it certainly is. It indirectly leads a clue as to how innumerable solid foundations can be laid merely on the basis of coffee conversations. This is how friends begin to cherish each other's company, vital business deals are made and solid relationships are built, and that too just with the trigger of a cup of coffee, incredible! Isn't it a delectable and economical drink simply produced from tiny grilled beans like C. arabica and C. robust...

"EVERY VOICE MATTERS!" 1. Campaigns against animal cruelty  There are unending campaigns against animal cruelty. But are these enough to curb this curse of enclosures? Surely not! Sometimes rising slogans just waft away in the air because it needs a strong spine to take the things under control, to make something visible and audible as well. There are countless organizations that work for animal welfare, I would like to specifically mention PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) here, which is leaving no stone unturned in supporting the cause of freedom for animals and birds. The commendable work of this organization is being recognized worldwide. But the burning question is, do these associations take enough rewarding steps to end up the miserable life of animals in the labs, in the zoos, in the entertainment activities, in the food industry and in the rapidly spreading fashion industry? Do masses really care for animals? Maybe or maybe not. Honestly, resp...

Your Love Is Hued                             -Jasmeet Kaur  (It was first published on October 25, 2020) This short poem is dedicated to BILLU, my darling fur baby. Your love is hued, Every gesture reveals depthness imbued. It is thrust at the surprising moment,  To fill the heart with awful florescent.  Your love is hued, And I have really felt it dude. It scatters every tint independently, Neither intrudes other's territory, nor allows anyone to overshadow its own arena very elegantly.  Your love is hued, And it would remain always glued. So richly,  That can't be drained like fluid.                        ----------------------------

       "SUCCESS - WHAT IS IT FOR YOU?" I have observed people minutely, bragging about their success stories or successful lives. For some, success is being among the ones with silver stockings, to have inconceivable wealth, to enjoy myriads of luxuries and to top it all, to have the feeling of God's chosen ones. What beats me, how these well-off people can bear such a tremendous superiority complex. Out of these affluents, half are born with silver spoons in their mouths while the second-half accomplishes goals without much hassle. Apart from this, there are opulent people who reckon, success is about dreams coming true, whether day dreams or night dreams, doesn't matter. They like to fulfill their dreams by any hook or crook. They achieve with such an ease that to settle on cloud nine seems to be their birthright. Also, there is a stratum of people from well- to- do families,  who consider beating opponents in the battle as their farthest reaching. But they fo...

"FRAGRANCE OF WORTHY WORDS " by Jasmeet Kaur ( First published on October 15, 2020) Fragrance of Worthy Words,  Dances like Blissful Birds! It uplifts the mood. Then everything in the world, Seems so easy so good. Its grasp is so strong; That limits the vision approaching to wrong. Its touch is so wise; That pushes to rightly rise. It empowers to tread, Smooth or uneven roads. It makes one realize, Inner powers without using swords. It enlightens the mind, It enriches the soul. To be heavenly kind, And an appreciable whole. Fragrance of Worthy Words,  Takes one to heights And always delights! ----------------------------------0---------------------------------

 I have tried a small paragraph without the letter 'A' on the request of a study buddy. Here it goes: I cherish every stunning hue in my surroundings. The spellbound delight of feeling the freshness of breeze, the mesmerizing effect of different colours of blue, green, purple, plus blooming picturesque sceneries together work for indelible imprints. The clouds rising from the hills, flying like free birds, incite one to enjoy freedom in every sphere of life. Let's follow this direction to freedom, to be much lighter souls.  - Jasmeet Kaur @ Intellectual Breezes
