Book I am currently reading, a short story collection titled I walk Between the raindrops by TC Boyle
Picked up this book simply because I loved the title- the first story was disturbing though, let's see how the rest of them feel.

Spent a day in Milan, two nights in Venice and three in Rome, but I need to go again, to see places like Napoli. It is a beautiful country โค

Diwali diyas lit, earthen lamps spreading their golden glow, keeping the darkness at bay.๐
Happy Diwali!

I held the moon that hung behind the Parthenon
For a moment and a half before I made a wish,
And flung it over my left shoulder into the waters
At the feet of Oceanus into the fountain of Trevi.
I walked through the corridors of the Colosseum-
As it lay in ruins, its marbles stolen to build domes
Its stone walls broken, bare retelling horrors, deaths
Leading out into cobbled streets where palaces rose.
History unfolds, stories are written, victors defeated-
But the only constant is the water and wine that flows,
Empires fall, however tall they build their monuments
What remains are exaggerations in sculpted stones.
Something I wrote after a short holiday in Italy last month.

A "presence" account for anyone and everyone who is in exile from other social media, disaffected from other social media, mildly pissed off with friends from another social network of any kind, drinking coffee, tea, alcohol, or in love with the postman.
