I am inspired by Agatha Christie- the queen of mysteries. My other favorite authors are Rohinton Mistry, R.K. Narayan, Somerset Maugham, John Steinbeck and Daphne Du Maurier. There are many others that I would like to add along with the brand new rising star of The Henna Artist- Alka Joshi.
I am a retired Special Education teacher and presently reside in Milton, Ontario, Canada. I moved to Milton after my husband passed away from cancer.
To ward off loneliness, I have started writing and spend many hours on my balcony plo

He maybe handsome but not from my neighborhood. He dresses in a strange fashion. Should I be friendly? Maybe he emerged from one of the graves. Yes there could be a story here. (less)

why should she bother?
What are the consequences of her actions etc?
Then I jot down notes, whatever comes to my mind, good or bad.
Within an hour, I have two pages written- good or bad. Then I work on the bad ideas and improve them.

Casablanca

I loved Humphrey Boghart in that movie. An actor that played hard-nosed, rugged gangster in most movies with a raspy voice, could play such a soft, tender role.

Also loved the friendship between him and corrupt police inspector.
I call them The Odd Couple in a beautiful friendship.

And of course the gorgeous heroine, lovely plot and Rick’s classy restaurant. I wish I could experience all this again

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”
Maya Angelou”
Prafulla Vyas

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Maya Angelou

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
Mae West

“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”
Robert Frost

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs
