Shades of self-doubt sprang up unceremoniously now and then
Bringing with them haunted feelings of dripping melancholia
But the ones that hit him real hard were those streaks of failure

Are you as good at sharing jokes as you are at stories? Your punchlines so-to-speak are just brilliantly amazing. 🙂 <3
I do have a funny bone in me Elly. I'm glad I could tickle you. Thank you 🙂
What a thoughtful picture-story you paint here, Vinodini! Painting could be such a healer for some people. Any creative pursuit could be. If only the authorities would see closely into the heart of the person…
Thanks Beloo. You're right, creative pursuits can indeed be quite healing for people who thrive on it. There's so much more to it than just talent.
Inspiring
Thank you Chaitali.
A heart wrenching story..beautifully poignant.

A big hi and a warm hug to you Kokila! Welcome to my blog 🙂 Thanks for dropping in. Keep coming back 🙂
Nice! I love Paul Cezzane's work and his play with perspective! Do check out his painting titles 'Gamblers'
the ending was really good.
Thanks Ankita. I like Paul Cezanne's work too.
How brilliant was this.
I specifically loved,

Thank you Red. We all go through moments of self doubt, don't we? How we react to it makes all the difference to the situation.
So bful and colorful !
I saw the movie One flew over cuckoos nest and read this post at the same time 🙂
Thanks Afshan! I haven't seen the movie but I understand from your comment that its got some relevance to this post. Hope you enjoyed it 🙂
Yesterday I watched Taare Zameen Par movie again
Colours are indeed so important to express. So nice, Vinodini 🙂
Oh I love Taare Zameen Par too! I agree, colors do make our lives so expressive and interesting. Thank you Anita 🙂
'The Card Players'* not 'Gamblers'
Yes Ankita 🙂
Both the prose and poem… written with such perfection… beautiful!!! The ending is so touching. It makes me sad for him.
Brilliantly woven Vinodini. A tale of love and sketched with passion about life:)
