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

"Bought a bottle of water for Rs.20 he happily quenched thirst. Months later he readily paid Rs.100 for it. A year after hopping shops he finally found one and had to offer Rs.500 for same bottle. Couple of years later even Rs.10,000 could not fetch him one, he realized being thrifty would have been wise."

~ KARAN

We have to come to realize that even money can’t buy everything, you may millions with you but the resources are limited. One has to be wise and cunning in using them or should I say wasting them in case of water.

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

Her modesty outraged

She went to the cops hopeful

Met salacious eyes

 ~ KARAN 

It’s very insulting and sad that rather than helping a woman in distress cops show seductive interest in her plight.

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

Work not for reward

Deepest craving of human

Is for ravenous

~ KARAN

“The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.”

                                                                                                    ~ William James

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

Wish I was brother

~ KARAN 

Even after women coming at par and excelling in every thought about field, the society still look down upon them, especially in rural India.

As they say there is no use in crying over the spilled milk. And Bucchianeri has so fittingly said here -

                   “Be wise today so you don't cry tomorrow.” 

                     ― E.A. Bucchianeri

Opaque

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

Marred state of mind

Wrecked marriage & ruined life

Blame opaque nature

~ KARAN  

Most relationship in life or for that matter life itself is ruined for want of transparency. The more you allow your soul mates and loved ones to be part of you and share everything with them, the merrier and happier life will be J

55 Fiction # 25 ~ Nonjudgmental

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 "N".

              

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

"Observing them for a long time, he said, “Don’t mind, since last hour your teenage son is not able to say a single sentence without a stutter, why don’t you take him to a doctor. The father turned around and calmly replied, just got his vocals operated, today is his 5^th day at speech therapy."

~ KARAN 

This is a very simple thing that if we keep in mind saves us lot of embarrassment and also keeps away any negativity. One should never be judgmental about others as you don’t know on what ground they stand. An obese man may have been facing the side-effect of some medications and therefore it is not wise to assume and make a judgment about him that he is so unfit and must always be binging upon junk food being careless about his health.

55 Fiction # 24 ~ Modest

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 "M".

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

Looking barbarously towards the crippled man he stood there impatiently waiting for the train during the rush hour traffic showing off his chiseled body covered in designer wear. He geared himself to make way in through the herd of people. The crippled man smiled at his (im)modesty as he easily entered the empty handicap compartment.

~ KARAN 

Rather than being proud, be grateful and thankful of what the almighty has bestowed us with. Also be modest and kind towards the unfortunate ones.

Love

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 "L".

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

Love has compassion

Love is kind

If you speak human and boast of an beatific tongue,

But don’t have love,

Your words will always be wrong,

You would have nothing left in the trove,

Love has passion

Love isn’t blind

If your hearts beating a patriotic song,

But you don’t have love

It’s just resonating empty gong

Love is angelic

Love has hope

Loves has belief

Love helps cope

If you seek worldly bliss,

Possess all the strength and means,

Without love it is all in vain,

At cessation, there will be no gain.

~ KARAN

We keep running behind materialistic things and forget about people who need us and vice-versa. In our quest of worldly pleasure we forget to simple things in life which bring happiness and the biggest of all is to have love in our life without which there is absolutely nothing of gain that we will take to our tomb.

Kiddish

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 "K".

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

I wanted to be there,

But when? I would always wonder,

Was greeted with a blank stare,

When I finally met her,

Her hands were warm,

But in the deep brown eyes,

Her sorrow swam,

Her voice had gone squeaky,

But she hadn’t lost hope,

She had turned sneaky,

There wasn’t any scope,

That was their notion,

She was kiddish is what they thought,

And sent her here to rot!

~ KARAN 

In this day and age there are more grandparents at old-age homes than at our homes, which sadly is a true fact. We fail to understand a simple fact that an old person is equivalent to a growing up kid and needs to be dealt with equal care, love and compassion. However on the contrary this is the very behavior that we cringe about and get irritated with. It’s time we introspect before life shows us a mirror.
