P.S. - I listened to this linked episode while shopping at the Le Marche in Sector 50 hahaha.

And here's your mini poem:

-----

Riveting characters, fanciful plots,

straight as an arrow, or tied up in knots!

Don't stand at the harbor, go forth and set sail,

for life is a journey, with twists in the tale!

Great poem. And once again, great minds think alike. The essay that I published this week deals with a similar theme, the theme of setting goals. I also propose a realistic approach to chasing one’s dreams, one that takes into account the way things actually are, as opposed to the way we wish they were. Cheers, Punit!

Gonna check it out right away!

Here's a mini poem for you, Andrei:

-----

Two people from across the world

with nothing much in common.

Somehow sometimes find out

they think alike so very often.

They write each other words of joy

and comments full of hope.

I look at them and think, "Oh boy!

their friendship is so dope!"
