The Smooth Adventures of SuperH

 Once upon a time in the busy city of Bumpleville, there lived a special superhero named SuperH. Now, SuperH wasn't your ordinary hero. His amazing superpower was making rough things smooth, which might not sound exciting at first, but wait until you hear what happened!


In Bumpleville, everything was perfectly fine until one day, a mischievous villain named Dr. Gravel arrived. Dr. Gravel had the terrible power to make everything rough and bumpy. He turned smooth sidewalks into gravel paths, made soft pillows feel like sandpaper, and even made ice cream filled with crunchy bits!


"Soon all of Bumpleville will be rough and uncomfortable!" Dr. Gravel cackled. "Everyone will be too irritated to sleep!"


Children couldn't sleep on their now-rough beds. Parents couldn't drive on the bumpy roads. Everyone was grumpy from lack of sleep.


That's when SuperH swooped into action! With a gentle wave of his hand, he smoothed out the rough sidewalks so people could walk comfortably again.


"Not so fast, SuperH!" yelled Dr. Gravel. He aimed his Rough Ray at the city park, turning the grassy field into a mess of pebbles.


SuperH wasn't worried. He flew over the park and used his smoothing powers to transform it back into a soft, grassy meadow. "Everyone deserves a comfortable place to play!"


Dr. Gravel grew furious. He decided to use his ultimate weapon—the Super Rough Machine—to make the whole world uncomfortably bumpy!


As the machine started to rumble, SuperH took a deep breath. He focused all his smoothing power, creating a wave of smoothness that washed over Dr. Gravel's machine. The rough edges softened, the bumpy parts flattened, and soon the whole machine was as smooth as butter.


Without any rough edges to work with, the machine just... glided to a stop. It couldn't make anything rough anymore!


Dr. Gravel was so surprised that he slipped on his now-smooth villain boots and landed with a soft thud on the ground. SuperH smoothed a path to him and held out a hand.


"You know," SuperH said kindly, "life doesn't have to be so rough."


Dr. Gravel looked up, confused. "But rough is all I know!"


"Maybe what you really need is a smooth night's sleep," SuperH suggested. He helped Dr. Gravel up and showed him how peaceful the city was when everything was smooth and comfortable.


That night, for the first time in years, Dr. Gravel slept on a smooth pillow under smooth blankets. And you know what? He had the best sleep ever.


From that day on, Dr. Gravel decided to use his powers to create just the right amount of texture in the world—enough to keep things interesting, but never too rough to be uncomfortable.


As for SuperH, he continued to help smooth out the rough patches in people's lives, reminding everyone that sometimes the greatest superpower is making things a little easier for others.


And now, just like the children of Bumpleville who are fast asleep on their smooth, cozy beds, it's time for you to close your eyes and drift off to dreamland, where everything is just right—not too rough, not too smooth, but perfectly comfortable for a good night's sleep.


The end.

The Man

  Last week, this song "The Man" by Taylor Swift, played as I walked into office. It felt like a great way to start my work as I marched into my floor and inside my cabin. Pumped, I start my daily routine at work and as I get through the day, I realize I enjoy my work and that I am good at it. Would I be at a different level if I were a man? Maybe. But I would rather go through my journey my way because we cannot keep regretting what we cannot change. However, I do lend that hand to a younger woman and guide her so she learns from my mistakes too and can work smarter. I make sure I am the person representing my girl-tribe in moments where their skills are sought for.  This also reminds me of Cher's interview where she says that instead of marrying a rich man, she was the Rich Man !  I'm so sick of running as fast as I can Wondering if I'd get there quicker If I was a man And I'm so sick of them coming at me again 'Cause if I was a man Then I'd be the m...

Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.

Some days when you don't want to start on some new show and you don't want to watch something without knowing the ending, you'd go back to shows or movies that you have loved as a child. Yesterday was one such day. I went on to watch Jim Carrey's "The Truman Show". When I watched it as a younger person, I liked it for Jim's acting and the entire storyline seemed outrageous and yet heartbreaking. How can one person's life be in front of camera all the time and how can one be living a lie !  Present age, in 2024, when I watched this, I saw it in a different light. With social media being rampant, with everyone having access to cameras on their phone to instantly capture a video, no one can escape being a "Truman". Any instance of your life can be captured by someone and you could end up being ridiculed or hailed a superstar overnight. The superstardom can fall overnight too, but the ridicule remains long after it subsides too. We also live a li...

Count your blesssings

  "I thought you were dead" , my son said, recollecting how he felt post our accident and when i was being carried to the hospital - all of which he witnessed in person, full of fear and worry that the most terrible thing happened to his mother. These words, no matter how hard they are to hear, it was important for him to let me know how he felt. Behind all the brave face he put for everyone else, I needed to hear my son's actual emotion seeing me lifeless for a while. For the last week that I had been back home, he continued to stick to his father, shows up a lot of maturity and growth in the 3 weeks that I missed being his mother - during this time, I was 1 week out in Malaysia for work and 1 week in hospital and 1 week at home - as a patient! We are slowly getting back to the routine of being ourselves. Somethings we cannot get back to how it was anymore. We both have just changed. I don't cuddle him as much as I used to. I let him be, except when I need him to get...
