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

Prompts for the Promptless – Ep. 11 – Remake!

Prompts for the Promptless – Ep. 11 – Remake!

 Remake/ Change

If I have the power to remake

I’ll change everything which is fake

The attitude of people towards life

towards the environment, poverty, religion

and their consumption of natures gift

without sharing equally,

which will lessen their strife.

Then I’ll remake the nature of law about death

Let death come with all its novelty

to carry on nature’s law

but

Let old age keep its

innocence, fearlessness, and cheer

like a child

it will make death less fearful and

make its impact mild.

 

Prompts for the Promptless – Ep. 7 – True Cost

Prompts for the Promptless – Ep. 7 – True Cost

True Cost is a term for the often-overlooked, comprehensive expense of something, including the time-related and emotional costs.

There is so much to write on this subject and I could not decide how to make it short so I wrote this piece.

The true cost of anything can be judged by the rewards it gives. So while investing in anything be careful and invest wisely.

invest commitment in the marriage get lifetime partnership
invest time in prayer get peace and serenity
invest concern in the environment get a healthy and wealthy environment
invest honesty and support in friendship get true friends and joy
invest love and sincerity in a relationship get a strong relationship
invest money in seeds, flower and trees get healthy, beautiful surrounding
invest hard work and zeal in everything you do get success in every field
invest in buying pets get love, loyalty, and unconditional love

 

SUNDAY POST : Sentimental Value

SUNDAY POST : Sentimental Value

I’m  sentimental about people but not about things or places, so I thought but when  I saw my mother’s swing, all  alone waiting for someone to caress, as if waiting for my mothers touch not knowing she will never come back.

Strength

So you think you are a very wise woman

you let go  your children to  grow

you never interfered in their matters

you allowed them to fight their own battle

you made them tough and positive

you smile proudly on your achievements

But,

the moment you hear they are sick, suffering

all you want to do to is to hug them, cuddle them

wrap your arms around them

to hide them from all evils

you don’t want them to suffer

you want to be there always to protect them

knowing well

you will not be there forever to look after them

how love makes one weak

Or

it is your strength?

Aspiration

There comes a stage or rather age in life

Where aspiration, expectations, and needs

All merge into each other and you aspire,

Expect and need a world,

Without hunger, poverty, and sickness

A world

Without boundaries, discrimination, and terrorism

A world full of

Love, compassion,  and friendship

A world where religion is compatibility and respect for each other

A religion that embraces everyone with an open heart.

Pride

Life is a mixed bag of
hopes and disappointments
dreams and realities
victories and defeats
triumphs and disasters
sometimes you win
sometimes you lose
sometimes you have to  run against the tide
sometimes you have to run with the tide
make compromises
don’t lose your heart
don’t complain
count your blessings
be proud of what you have achieved
keep your composure
spine stretched
shoulders straight
heart full of gratitude
head held with pride

~ Indira

Elegance

Elegance

is all about keeping one’s grace, style, and composure

in all aspects of life

whether having success and happiness

or feeling little low and  down

or elegance is rather being like The Sun

who keeps its elegance, beauty, and composure

always intact

whether rising up or whether setting down

~ Indira

GOALS

SUNDAY POST :GOAL

” It’s one of life’s great paradoxes …
Accepting with gratitude whatever life throws at us
is critical to happiness.
Yet without a goal and commitment, life lose much of its value.
The best we can do in the face of this paradox
is to play to win, but be cheerful in defeat
and ready to play again.
– Jonathan Lockwood Huie ”

My goal is to learn or try as many things as possible before I go. Sometimes I succeed sometimes  , due to my own limitations, I have to retreat . I feel frustrated and depressed for some time then try some other thing.

My only consolation is that even GOD has limitations.

Even GOD can’t put the clock back.

As I’m unable to draw and paint due to eyesight problem, its photography I have started. Inching forward, I may one day capture a masterpiece.

Hope for best.

I’ll quote Jack here-”  Efficient goal work includes recognizing and resolving all guilt, inner conflict or limiting belief that might cause one to sabotage one’s efforts. By setting clearly defined goals, one can subsequently measure and take pride in the achievement of those goals. One can see progress in what might have seemed a long, perhaps impossible, grind.”

Here are some of photographs taken by me.
