I


It should have been the simplest theme. And yet writing "I" as a Shot may have been one of our most difficult ones so far. Wonder what that says about us :p 














spell
god
in
one
letter.







-Jason




it became blurry
and blotchy
under torrential rain.
drop after drop
it flowed
from my eyes
and my nose.
until there was none
but the knowledge:
I am nothing
without my Dream.

Light



Word-ka Shots crosses a new milestone! 
10,000+ page views from people like YOU who have loved us over the last year and a half. You've kept us going for better or worse. 
We decided to make light of the moment and celebrate the only way we can. With Shots on the spot. We gave ourselves five minutes (no peeking), and came up...with this.
 Cheers!

 








An indignant child
got the moon he asked for
in a basin full of water.

I'm as indignant
when it comes to you
but for me
well placed mirrors 
will do the trick.




keep your windows
open
to dust.
only then,
can you see
light.

Infinity




April being the cruelest month and all, we got our old pal Rakhee Panth in as Guest Writer to shake things up. She has a refreshing style, different from both your faithful writers. 
I could go on and on. But I'll let the Shots do the talking.

 






Sapphire sky
(New moon hung low)
A fear
it will be restless red again.

Whoever said
The journey of a thousand miles
Begins,
with a single step





 -Rakhee




we walk together
lock, stock, baggage
and all.
they smirk,
and wonder
how far we'll go.
the end
of the world.

and a little more.

Night










What happens in the dark;
rarely stays in the dark.










 -Jason






when tired rules
are put to rest
and Pain and Trouble
come grudgingly to bed
finer things will rise
and come to life
behind closed eyes.
day after day,
I wait for that time.




-Nikita
