A is for the Ant – The designer of beautiful hills
A is for the Ant The designer of beautiful hills
A is for the ant so tiny and small,
always on the move, never stopping for a second,
to look around and gape,
at the scenery all around.
Tell me oh little one,
where do you find the energy,
to be so hardworking and industrious?
Dont you ever want to take a rest?
Your society is so organized,
your lot is united in everything you do,
I drop the tiniest grains of sugar on the floor,
and you immediately gather to carry it to your...

A To Z 2020 – Theme Reveal
Well, I am currently out of a job and living off my savings. I am also busy preparing tutorial videos on computer programming languages in the hope of being able to sell them on etutorial sites.

Not only that, but in the past few days every time I sit down to...

The Torrent
She started moving from a small hole on the ground,
in a little hill in the middle of nowhere.
She moved slowly at first,
like a passenger train starting from a train station.
She moved down the hill.
She picked up speed as she moved by,
just like a train picks up speed,
as it moves towards its destination.
But unlike a train,
she does not stop anywhere.
But yet mingles with numerous others,
of her kind and becomes bigger than ever before.
Before she reaches...

The Decade Gone By
From what I gather, most of the bloggers participating in this bloghop were in their twenties or thirties at the beginning of the last decade. I on the other hand was forty-four. I married very late, when I was forty and my daughter entered our household when I was forty one.
In 2010 myself and my wife were still savoring the happiness and joy of parenthood. As a family we were still coming to grip with ourselves when I ended up in some very deep trouble in my...

There is a story behind how this garden was built. The Egyptian emperor...

The New Innings – #WRITEPHOTO
We saw the small child everyday when my wife and I went for our morning walk. The child had long hair and always wore the same patched flowing robe. She looked like a fairy from heaven in that robe. We were both very fond of the child. She was like a princess who was aching for her loved ones. Our hearts went out to her as she would look at us with eager eyes, hold up her small begging bowl and say, ‘Help a little child in need. God will bless you.’
