Daily Prompt: Dulled

Daily Prompt: Dulled

You encounter a mysterious man offering you a magic potion that, once sipped, will make one of your senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch) super sharp — but dull the others. Will you sip it, and if so, what sense do you choose?

Do not dull my eyes lest I could not see everything I love dearly

Or the sense of smell which makes me smell all the fragrances lovingly

I can’t do without hearing the sounds all around me clearly

Or the touch of my dear ones which will make me very lonely

Now who can live by making dull the sense of taste foolishly

O mysterious man, go away with your potion to the one

Who has a choice to make a sense super sharp

At the cost of making other senses dull readily

Weekly Photo Challenge: Escape

Weekly Photo Challenge: Escape

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.

 Chinese Proverbs quotes

Even if you are a  very responsible person, never escape from your  duties, still sometime you may feel suffocated confined to four walls of your house . You would love the chance to go out and have a meeting with nature. It’s so refreshing, rejuvenating  and you come back charged up to take more responsibility delightfully.

Zoo, sea beach and forest are some places where I would like to go when I want to escape from my daily routine.

ForThePromptless – S. 2, Ep. 1 – The Alter Ego

Alter Ego/ personality disorder

I am Indira’s alter ego speaking, knowing fully well that she will never write this post herself. She was all against it thinking who wants to know about her, she not a famous personality etc.

I told her that even if nobody reads it, at least she will know about me and now is the time to acknowledge me.

She is full of inferiority complex, little coward afraid of fights, darkness, ghosts and everything. Whenever she was lonely, depressed and thought death is the final solution of her sickness and problems.Only I know what is she under the cool as cucumber mask.   It was me, who gives her strength, courage and hope to come out of darkness, face her fears and fight with them.

She is  shy, afraid of going out , speaking in public, always worrying for her near and dear ones, her friends and relatives. She thinks she is supposed to be perfect all the time and this gives her a lot of stress. I taught her that being not perfect is all right.

She does not participates in any thing for the fear of loosing. I taught her that you sometime win , sometimes  you do not, but the joy of participating is bigger than everything.

Her happiness lies  on others happiness. She feels guilty enjoying anything alone. I taught her that to be happy, enjoying things in life,  is not a sin. She is shy of  Expressing her  views fearing she may hurt others. I taught her that even if you don’t agree with others is all right, she must stand for whatever she thinks is right.

I always have to be vigilant to keep her on the right track. Actually I always have to do overtime with her , even if I take a wink  she will go inside her shell like a turtle.

Mission Unsuccessful – Horror again

Today, 16th May is my daughter Soma Mukherjee’s Birthday. She loves ghost tales, so this story is my gift to her.

Happy Birthday Soma, love, hugs and blessings.

Mission Unsuccessful

Pepe and Popo were two ghosts, unable to frighten anyone. On the contrary they were themselves frightened very easily.

There is one rule among ghosts that they have to scare people otherwise they will be expelled. Now , they tried very hard but failed. So they were Expelled .
Feeling very sad they were searching for some place to hide, lest other ghosts will laugh on them.

Then they found her house, they slipped quietly under her bed. Here they tried to scare her by vanishing her things. But to their disappointment, she scolded her maid and warned her to be careful.

Though they were happy there, but missed terribly their community .

They thought of taking help from a little sympathetic ghost Hoho, who has the power to take any form.

He accepted to help them.

He told them if he hides in something thing and it vanishes suddenly before her eyes, she certainly will be scare to death.

Pepe said ” Really? , why not hide in eggs or sausages which she eats in her breakfast.”

Hoho said ” no, no, she will either boil or fry them and you know I’m afraid of fire. More over if we burn us, all our powers will be taken back and we have to leave earth and live in space, where you can’t find anyone to scare.”

Popo said ‘ OK, so you hide in the apple, she daily eats an apple , and when she will go to have a bite vanish with it.’ Ho agreed.

They were very excited. This was the longest night for them. Though night and day are same for them for they don’t sleep. Hoho hid in the  apple , there was only one apple there, he felt happy.

In the morning she got up, brushed her teeth. She searched her fridge for something to eat. She found an apple. She was about to eat, but then suddenly changed her mind.
She kept the apple in the electric grille and switched it on.

She decided to eat grilled apple with cinnamon and sugar.

Horror again

 

She wanted to scare her husband and was waiting for him,  well prepared.

As he entered his bedroom, he saw his wife, with a glass full of blood, her face smeared with blood, laughing weirdly.
” So she  wants to scare me” he thought.

” You can’t scare me with all this tomato sauce or whatever it is.” He said loudly.

” This is not tomato sauce, this is fresh blood and if you are not scared ? Watch this.” She hissed and took out a knife , cut her palm and said ” See, no blood, ghosts don’t bleed.”

He laughed ” I know all these magic tricks,  Now you see.” and took knife from her hand .

Holding his hair with one hand, he sliced his neck with a clean sweep and said

” See, no blood”
She fainted.

SUNDAY POST : Mothers Day

SUNDAY POST : Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to All Mothers

The best relation between a mother and a child is friendship.

 

1- There is only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it.
Chinese Proverb

2- And remember that behind every successful woman……is a basket of dirty laundry.
Inspirational Quotes on Mothers Day by: Unknown

3- Insanity is hereditary; you get it from your children.
Sam Levenson

4- No gift to your mother can ever equal her gift to you – life

Anonymous quotes

5- When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.
Sophia Loren, Women and Beauty

6- Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs… since the payment is pure love.
Mildred B. Vermont

7- The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men – from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

8- The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.
She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
Rajneesh( OSHO)

9- Women do not have to sacrifice personhood if they are mothers. They do not have to sacrifice motherhood in order to be persons. Liberation was meant to expand women’s opportunities, not to limit them. The self-esteem that has been found in new pursuits can also be found in mothering.
Elaine Heffner

10- Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.
