When opposites attract (A 55 word story)

oppositesattract

They weren’t made for each other.

She a beauty queen and he charmer, poor!

Opposites attract.

He wanted marriage and she, a career…

She succumbed…

Money, food, shelter became priorities.

Kids happened…

She’s all alone, he turns his back …

Years passed…

Loser comes back one stormy night…

As she raised her hand, something happened…

The Guardian Angel

maternity-newborn-photography1

He was a man, a very tough man
Fought the war and life
Until he grew tired till the last breath

He wanted a child and a family
Alas fate had a different plan
But life took a different turn for what he saw
A little girl with tiny hands and angelic face
Forgot the war and everything around
Took her in his arms and called her a name
So he became a father and now a family man!

Now again fate had a different plan
Wife is gone, all alone in the chill of the night
Starry skies and questions abound
Little girl in his arms, a life long quest for happiness

Little girl, woman now and wiser more
Time to dream and milestones to accomplish
Life ahead with so many wishes
His time to rest and leave to her desires

A tiny hands crept on his chest while he rested
Till he became a toddler at heart
He is now a tough man, a very tough man
Fought for their lives and loved them more as a mother!

As if not over yet… fate still had a different plan
Little girl, woman now alas no more!
“No use crying” said he
The tiny hands now crept upon his arms
He kept walking while wiping away the tears!

Days passed by blurring his vision
Happiness rested on his cheeks
When the tiny hands became a man

The cycle of life has to go on
So does the quest for man’s happiness
He was a man, a very tough man
Life’s wish worth fulfilled
For he got where he was meant to be
When he was sent back as an angel
To his man who planned a family!

Only when jeans and salwars accommodate the well!!

This is a guest post by Karthik Balakrishnan who blogs regularly at outofthemold

Monarchy in the name of democracy!!

This is what is going on right from Central Government reign to an ordinary clerk position. Offspring occupy half of the posts. I am not going to speak on the vacancies filled now but about the politics where this is going on mercilessly grabbing others chance or desire of becoming a good politician. The same person holds the minister position for more than 20 years and now his son is trying to lead that position.

Is this a family property?. Doesn’t it seem atrocious? And our examples of honest leaders remain to be Kamaraj and Kakkan till now. But for how long??

We never give chance to others but grouch as if we did something different and failed. Why can’t we give chance to someone who is new? I don’t think politics need experience. There is nothing wrong in failing after a different experience. But without trying anything we again and again do the same mistake only with the hope that at least this time we will win. But do we? Honestly not. Our hopes are getting shattered every time and we adjust very easily. There is no use in electing someone from your caste or creed. We should reform ourselves with the fire our forefathers had during the independence struggle. Our situation is very pathetic. We are at a saturated stage which can be overcome only by violent actions.

Or the case goes like this: When the ruling party does something different the opposition party immediately protests and makes them fall in the same line again. We don’t get anything different from any end. At last we people are the losers. Situation should change either gradually or drastically. But a change is needed. Now coming to the title, the well I meant here is parliament or assembly. Youngsters should peek into politics, not by getting into any party but by starting a new movement which will answer our questions and stop our patience. I need no comma for this statement on the reign but a full stop. A full stop!! It should not be fashion but a passion behind every jeans and salwars.

Changes I would like to make in every Govt. Office:

  • Every government office should be computerized like software companies
  • Candidates who are recruited from now on for government jobs should possess mandatory computer knowledge
  • Feedback should be collected from public who visit government offices and defaulters should be severely punished
  • Breaks and unnecessary gaps in work should be reduced
  • The employees should show compulsory 9 hours active work duration in the office
  • Sick leave and casual leave should be reduced if possible
  • A receptionist should be placed in the front door for easy directions
  • Toll free numbers, important contacts and email addresses should be placed in areas of visibility.
  • Contacting supervisors and other higher officials should be made easy
  • These changes are also applicable to Bank and other similar offices
  • No quota for any SC/ ST
  • Every area of responsibility should have a minimum qualification consideration without which candidates should be immediately shown the door!

Devil’s triangle – A mystery??

This is a guest post by Karthik Balarishnan who blogs regularly at outofthemold


bermuda

The Bermuda Triangle, which is still considered to be a modern world mystery, is called as Devil’s Triangle.Why is it a mystery and why is this name?. The area represented by Bermuda Triangle is mainly formed by three places Florida,Bermuda and Puerto Rico. When we join these three cities with an imaginary line, it forms a triangle and hence the name. This imaginary area is located in southeastern Atlantic Coast of United States. The mystery here is the frequent disappearance of ships and flights whenever it crosses this area.

Lots of scientific explanations were given in the past 50 years for the disappearances. Those explanations were relevant but not apt. The Bermuda Triangle is nothing but a stretch of water flowing between the mentioned cities. Most of the theories cited environmental factors as a reason for the disappearances. The Bermuda triangle is one of the two places in earth where the magnetic compass will point towards true north. Otherwise, the magnetic compass will be pointing to magnetic north. The deviation between the two is approximately 20 degrees which will result in huge deflection. But the evidences gathered didn’t reveal any semblance of this.

One of the famous theories about Bermuda Triangle was given by Dr. Ben Clennell, of Leeds University, England. This theory is about the presence of Methane Hydrates in Ocean. The large amount of sediments of Methane Hydrates in ocean would lessen the density of water. This will make any ship floating above the water sink like a rock. Also, the highly combustible gas can ignite the aircraft and blow it into pieces. But, to make atmosphere highly combustible, it certainly requires huge percentage of flammable gas to be present in atmosphere. But this is not a conclusive theory either!!

Theories keep coming by, but the Mystery still not demystified!!
