Something more about Chronolosis 😮‍💨 #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #TimeTravel
‘Okay, Maya, first please calm down. If you are a time traveller – and do it frequently without giving yourself time to heal and recover – you are prone to get Chronolosis. In common parlance, depletion of red blood cells. This can turn dangerous and quickly spiral out of control if you are not vaccinated. Right now I have given you one dose of it. But you have to get a few more shots if you are going to continue travelling through time.’

‘Yes, sir!’ Maya mock-saluted him, not wanting to give him any further reason to be entertained at her expense but loving his teasing smile all the same. Right in front of the crew, Nikhil placed his palm tenderly on Maya’s cheek and patted it gently, saying, ‘You are going to smash it!’

The Chariot upright suits scientist Jessica Almeida from BID TIME A GOODBYE, my current WIP. She is determined and possesses the willpower to reach greater heights. Vaqt, the time machine, doesn't exist without her.

Perfect, perfect, perfect upright card for Pirai Nila from my yet-to-become-WIP - I LUCID YOU. As she journeys into lucid dreaming and astral projection to find her deceased lover Isaivalan, her intuition strengthens too.

Oh, the ultramarine-blue saree! 💙 #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #AmWriting #TimeTravel #WritingCommunity
On one hand, she sensed an opportunity and on the other, she was burdened with the thought that her past self had noticed her. But curiosity won over, and Present-Maya sneaked into Anuj’s house where the party was going on in full swing. People were dancing to the beats of the day. Since she was dressed in the same saree as she had been during the original event, no one suspected anything odd.

Woohoo! THE FOOL CARD reversed would perfectly suit the 17-year-old Maya in my book, BID TIME A GOODBYE. She blindly falls for the irreparable Anuj.

Dumbfounded and #bewitched, she moved towards the glowing vortex. It was the purest golden light she had ever seen.

'This is it! I'm finally home,' she thought, not sensing the hands gently touching her back.

"Off you go back to the prison planet!" The voice thundered and pushed her.

Where are you, Vaqt? 🫨 #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #AmWriting #TimeTravel #WritingCommunity
‘Okay, okay, cool. As far as I remember, the colour of your handbag is mint green. It’s hanging over there.’ He pointed to a hook where a green-coloured bag hung. Maya had rummaged through that bag too, but Vaqt wasn’t there.

‘Daddy, that’s chaotic! You cannot suggest something like that. You’d be playing with Time and someone’s destiny. You cannot play God, no matter how tempting it is.’ ‘Yes, I can. And I will.’ Krishnamurthy grabbed Vaqt from the table before Maya could put it inside her handbag.

With just that, Maya needed no more prompting. She started narrating her experiences truthfully and with the unabashed excitement. As Maya went on and on about visiting her childhood, Jessica discreetly typed out a date on the screen in front of her – 08.11.2010.

‘Me too, Nikhil. I have been dying to tell all this and more to you. But being a woman, I felt I shouldn’t be chasing a man who might not be interested in me. As usual, the sense of propriety and a bit of ego prevented me from revealing my feelings to you. But the universe made you talk to me about what we are, today. The truth is out now. We belong to each other.’

Agatha Christie and Alexander McCall Smith, of course! I love their writing so much, but I have never been inspired by either of their works. Also, I'm not sure if I could pull off the cosy mystery genre.

Today's random #Lovember #WritingPrompt for the #WriteSky #WritingCommunity:

Is there a book or writer you love who has NOT really inspired anything in your current work(s) and/or whose oeuvre doesn't really have anything to do with your current focus?
An eclectic love of yours?

Day 27 of #TimeTravelAuthors: A sentence from page 11

If Leela Krishnamurthy had gotten even an inkling of what was going to happen to her in a few hours, she’d have paused to cherish every sip of her cappuccino.

Today's random #Lovember #WritingPrompt for the #WriteSky #WritingCommunity:

Would your character(s) still fall for their first love(s)?
If it doesn't make sense to answer for romantic love, you can talk about some other sort of "first love".

While Maya ordered Orzo pasta filled with octopus and veggies, Nikhil ordered a Tuna salad risotto and Santorini fava.

She ordered some Coconut Fried Prawns and Pad Thai Chicken Noodles, while Anuj ordered Broccoli Patties and Chicken Carbonara.

Woohoo! The apt word for my MC who is an actor 😍 #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity#TimeTravel
Maya’s first trip was to February 12th, 2016 – the day she first met Nikhil face-to-face, in her debut movie’s success meet. Her bones tingled with such longing that she decided her first time travel trip would be to that day, when she had breathed Nikhil’s scent for the first time after fangirling and crushing over him on social media.

Nobody's gonna get this GIF, except if you are from Tamil Nadu.

That character placing his hand on his chest and saying 'happada' is what Maya Krishnamurthy is by the end of the story - relieved.

Lapis Lazuli 🌌 #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #TimeTravel
After extensive research for suitable material, Jessica zeroed upon the crystal, Lapis Lazuli, which corresponded to the properties of Einstein’s general relativity theory. Experimenting with the different states of the gemstone, she refined her techniques to anchor its properties, fuelling the device with the necessary energy to operate.

Since Maya has shades of me, I think she'd love this beautiful Tamil song about tranquility, freedom, and non-hustling as much as I love it.

#WriteSky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #TimeTravel
The old man looked perplexed at the sudden disruption. He was even more startled as Maya’s outfit seemed odd for the period she was in. He looked around and observed that they were the only people on the road. He then looked at her once over in confusion before replying, ‘Sure, child. Just walk ahead in this direction and take the first right. Keep walking for two minutes, and you’ll see the temple to your right. But the temple will be closed at this time. Why do you want to go there now, ma?’ A tinge of concern crossed his face, despite his initial surprise at seeing her.
