A couple of Sneezes and Gratitude

Annie was rubbing her nose briskly with her gloved hand as the other paw was digging the soil and aerating it.

Achoo!

With an arch, she watered the plant gently and hummed a lullaby as if welcoming the new life she

Not just a mere privilege...

One Human Life, and, fortunately, many rights!

Authority to Freedom, Speech, Equality, and a right to get Educated.






No one should be spared from the above. Just as inhaling Oxygen is not yet taxed, the same concept should be applied to humans desiring to study. 

No gender should be discriminated when they show a desire for gaining knowledge. 

What is Knowledge? 
Knowledge is not just

A lone moment...

Our planet has a population of over a billion humans and still there are moments in our lives when we are alone, and things happen, and when they happen we either feel lonely after that incident or just want to be alone.



Man is such a complex being that he wants to be surrounded by happiness, but when a plight occurs and if he is alone, he is petrified cause it takes time for him to absorb

Wordless Wednesday #83

This wall is symmetrical and well proportioned.

Just as Man aspires to be in his "real" life. But, can we take upon this challenge?

Ponder over it: A perfect in harmony 9-5pm job with no red flags. No personal issues that need a fire extinguisher. Positive vibes everywhere!

Man is an intelligent being and loves challenges thus, we would find the above life BORING since no secretion of

A Bigot

"I can do this. Please give me a chance" came an urgent request.

Ann scrutinized him from head to toe and stamped his papers with a wiggly nose.

He quickly scanned them and fetched his uniform.

With lots of apprehensions, entered the work scenario.

He could feel the stares and ogles of his co-workers. But with shaky hands, he adjusted his turban and pushed the long strands inside.

Toying with Disaster

Man is an emotional soul and loves to toy with anything that talks back to him. 

Any response he gets from somebody, there and then starts the flirting!

Sometimes, this could be a harmless event but, at times it could turn disastrous. 



Our Planet, Earth has exhibited significant and pretty landscapes of herself, to which man has got weak in his knees.

A nerd

"Move it, fellas!" Torri was shouting and pushing past people in the mall without apologies, and that made people either turn towards her with eyebrows crossed or accuse her of the wrongdoing. 

Torri was unperturbed!

Her goal was to be there before the store opened. Be amongst the first few customers to avail of the discount and still be able to grab the latest technology in her hand.
