Prelude: A Quiet Billionaire - Speculative Fictional Short Stories by Marica Quarsingh

  A Quiet Billionaire Speculative Fictional Short Stories Marica Quarsingh   Fast Cars. Fast Mars Trails of red dust in what could resemble to an artist silk scarves in the wind filled the red planets air. A mars terrain geared EV sped its way from one end of the dunes to the next. Close to follow was a second vehicle. Less fast in speed, but more advanced in driving skill. A more technical driver behind the wheel chasing the lead car whose driver seemed more out to have fun. Proving that having fun in the process could take you further, faster. Eventually both vehicles about to stop in what can only be described as an earthly fast car movie scene with a dramatic driving end, but on fast Mars amplified with intravenous EV capabilities. They made donuts in the sand and the lead driver with one hand clench in an anti-Apartheid fist through the glass retractable roof as shrieks of glee echoed across the empty dunes. Both cars abruptly stopping with dust settling and e...

In the Spirit of Spiritedness

Image
It has been a while since I've put down some thoughts here or posted my once daily personal video messages.. usually at first takes. It's the result of a variety of things. However - in the spirit of being right here and in the now, looking over treetop's as I word these few sentences, I am also deeply disturbed..infact saddened, disappointed and personally challenged by some of the news headlines the world has had to recently observe. Priests getting killed ( as picked up on Dr. Tedros Adhanom's twitter feed). Then the resources struggle to equally fight the Covid19 war. And then the wars.. Followed by internal challenges within organisations.  And then myself  seeing the blatant audacity of entitlement in being subjected to racists both black and white. For me, there's very little room to have polarized hate filled biases when we all share a common world - with various levels of common problems to lesser or more degrees. But in that the same world where we can cre...

Eleanor Roosevelt.

I've long being living beyond the ideals of romantic sorts of love forms, into the other expressions of Love. Not easy for any suitor to say the least. And a few things comes to mind. The most being my love of Life. For me, Love is seeing through to the end of my time -here- the Love of hope for Humanity with goals in context of business to drive shared prosperity and social impact. There's that X factor about living a life of purpose which differs to any other sort of Love forms expressed. Love of children who go on to live their own lives to which you get to experience whatever it is you do as a parent. The love of parents who leave, but never really do. The love of God as only a monk can understand - or not.  And the love of a significant other - which has no guarantees, ever. Making Love of individual Purpose and beyond personal Self a very intimate expression of Love. In its truest form can be an accurate overstatement.  I think of women like Kamala Harris, Eleanor Roosev...

The Quiet Billionaire

Image
Words come to me fairly easily.  Heading Content with a JV business partner for his own digital design & tech firms, through a B2B relationship, gives me energy. Energy because I get to do what I love. To think both promptly and contemplatively, using words to best achieve clients brand objectives. My business partner himself has an entrepreneurial aggressiveness which has always made our business activities complementary. We share an eagerness to achieve. But back to words.  Some may recall about three year's ago I endeavored writing a book. The framework, story and chapters were all clear. Well into it, perched in a lofty hotel where I daily would head to write, I realised that writing a book is a soul bearing activity for me. Especially when it has very little to do with me.  Once you ink each word there's no real opportunity to turn back. Life and that self imposed limitation led me to pause, wait and then to abandon the book. Themed around the idea of personal ge...

We're OFF OLD

Image
Let me be clear. Off. Old has nothing to do with any brand owning a similar name but does have everything to do with people owning Affordable Luxury items at any point in their consumer journey. The company and various featuring brands are aspirant and is by design to appeal to young males and first-time salaried men. The young male should be able to save his monthly allowance and the first-time salaried male should be able to change his looks often without forgoing other monthly demands. We want students to look good while performing equally great. It's not only good for the moral but gives a sense of owning what you want at any time, while making your money truly work its magic. Off. Old will see collaborations with various persons and different ranges under its banner are where we see ourselves playing in a world where collaboration is key and creative energy remains. See you on the right side of dope. Marica (Logo credit: Moonears @moonearsofficial About:  Canadian ...

Heartfelt Affliction - A poem for women who are abused in one way or in all forms

Image
She cried for help. She screamed but was hushed in by the estate's security.  The neighbours needed her to be abused inside the mansion instead of disturbing a "rich" mans leafy suburb.  A suburb where dogs are treated better than humans and some human's feel kicked and abused like strays. So what is rich? She managed to escape hours of torture to safety where many could have smirked at her but hadn't and her driver wasn't that but instead her friend. Where doctors thanked them for their support and she thank doctors for saving her. The violence was long before his actual. He corroded her mentally and emotionally. Her. A wall which behind her eyes like mystic pools wailed.  How do you wrong someone flawed but wanting right? Raised voices, expectations, hands and hopes. How do you women raise your son. To raise voices, demands and their hands to their women? Afflicted and heartfelt she stood the wall of living embrace.

Treating people medically, Medical Professionals and staying Humane with overburden Systems

Image
I am not someone who ever wants to see myself in a hospital unless God forbid, there's an emergency.  A belief I think most of us share. For me the idea alone of being confined to a space where people are unwell makes me sick.  So having to spend time in a bed knowing so many people are ill is more distressing. But how does one perfect the balance needed to be medically treated and to be out of a space that leaves little room for inspiration. And what about the people tasked to daily help others recover? Virtually answers a lot and medicine is seeing much in the space of online consultation and developments in AI led medical treatments, which is said to have a greater percentage of accuracy. However taking away the human element found in doctors and which we all need when we are vulnerable doesn't make any robot better without a human, humane medical representative. Private medical treatment facilities gives patients the liberty to ask for what they need and when. Delays in se...
