Love and Mystery


Love

She sat in corner, sobbing continuously for two hours without telling the reason, but when I tried to console her she shooed me away like she would shoo away snoopy when he would irritate her too much, “Shit!” it suddenly stuck me that snoopy was missing, today was the day they took him away.

Mystery

I had been trying to find my diary for hours without success and I was getting really worried when I saw that it had slipped off behind bookshelf, alas! Those two important pages were missing and I turned to see there she was, holding those two pages where I poured my feelings for her.


Above posts are attempt to write a 55 fiction in one sentence based on the guidelines provided at writetribe. I will highly appreciate the critical reviews.

Aaj kal paon zameen par...feeling loved

This post is a part of Write Over the Weekend, an initiative for Indian Bloggers by BlogAdda. Ignited by the prompt, I here narrate a true account of a couple whom I know. It might be a bit dramatized but the situation and feelings are real. I would request your take on the situation and in my replies I’ll tell you the arguments that have been put forward.


Tring-Tring, the phone rang for the fifth time. It took all my will power once again to continue staring and not get up and answer. Finally it stopped.

Today is the third day I have managed to avoid him and his phone calls. Each day I sit with the phone in my hand at the usual time and stare at it while it rings till he gets exhausted.

Providing drinking water by Suprio Das

When the slogan “Roti, Kapda aur Makan” i.e. “food, clothing and housing” was coined first, Indian sub-continent was a water abundant country and therefore water was not considered to be necessity that should be fought for. Science explains the requirement of water intake in our body.  
Suprio Das, in his presentation gives us a figure which explains that each minute a child dies in India due to water borne diseases. Even though 70% of earth is made up of water, researches show that every year the level of safe drinking is depleting at an alarming speed.

Contests, prompts, games and more…

It is 24th day of the Ultimate Blog Challenge. I took this to improve content on my Blog and subsequently increase the blog traffic.

However, writing a blog post each day can be tricky. There have been times I was travelling or really busy. Most importantly there have been times when I have absolutely run out of topics to write about.

At such times, these contests, prompts, games , challenges have proven as helpful as God sent angels.
