55 Fiction # 22 ~ Esthetic

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's. Today's word is "E".

My theme is “Human Characteristics”. Today I chose “Esthetic”.

Wanting to plan something grand and different for her birthday, placing the bread-loaf cake on scarf over the table, he lit entire room with candles.

Entering the house she was overwhelmed oblivious to the peeling walls and disconnected electricity, as he sang the birthday song. Mesmerized she welled-up by his esthetics in idea and action.

It’s a universal belief that only people with deep pockets, bigger house, costly furniture, shiny cars so on and so forth are the ones who can live life king size and have esthetic sense of doing up their houses. However esthetics is on ones ideas and our action to back the same.

55 Fiction # 20 ~ Compatible

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's.  Today's word is "C".

My theme is “Human Characteristics”.  Today I chose “Compatible”.

Holding hand in hand,

Together they walked the aisle,

Proclaiming vows,

They promised to include,

Faults and perfection without a feud,

One thing they found true,

Vibes felt were love that brew,

In while they knew,

Years gone by, once again they vowed,

In her inability to conceive they claimed,

She was (In)Compatible they proclaimed!

We have come to believe that in this progressive world of ours, gender equality has gained momentum and with women occupying highest positions across verticals and spheres it all hunky dory. However the staunch reality is even today even in educated middle class families, it’s the woman who is blamed for inability to bear the child without even trying to ascertain that it can be a problem with the man. Having said that it is just one amongst many things that the fairer sex still faces in our so called progressive society.
