Are We There Yet?

This post is written for the Post a Signpost Challenge.

Task: Take pictures of signposts of your holiday/travels and post it in a blog.

I had stayed in Pune, Maharashtra, India for five months during my internship. This picture is taken at “swargate” (location is added). All our  weekend trips started from this place. Made some best friends and had a journey of life time. This is one life time picture which brings back so many sweet memories!

Note: This post is also written as assignment 18 of Blogging101 course.

Latechzy

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Play Lexicographer.”

Create a new word and explain its meaning and etymology.

Word: Latechzy

Meaning: The laziness induced by the technology.

Etymology: If observed carefully the word is formed by introducing the word “tech” right in-between the word “lazy”. It signifies the laziness introduced by the technology innovations. The good or bad of it is always debatable. With technology in hand, we are increasing our tendency to behave like machines. Yes, it the undefinable laziness which is just right there! wink!

Versatile Blogger Award

My sincere thanks to Hargun Wahi for Nominating me for versatile blogger award. This is fun! Really!

 

Details of the Post is Here!

 

 

Uncertainty

Every doubt demands a clearance

Every in-decision involves a resolution

Every hesitation boards a confidence

Every vagueness entitles a precision

Every ambiguity is leading to un-ambiguity

Every insecurity breaches a security

Every improbability assures the probability

And its doubt, in-decision, hesitation, vagueness, ambiguity, insecurity and improbability

That are moving Uncertainty to certainty!  

The Good Third-Rate

Every note can be declared with an optimism. I was just thinking of some phrase to comment about a “third-rate” performance and still say it in a good way and what popped up in my mind was,

 

” On a scale of first rate to fourth rate, i would say you were a third-rate ! “

 

 

A Moment in Time

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “A Moment in Time.”

What was the last picture you took? Tell us the story behind it. (No story behind the photo? Make one up, or choose the last picture you took that had one.)

It’s not exactly the last picture i captured, but its the one with awesome story behind. It was in Goa, India, ten friends on a three day trip. We reached the fort early morning on day two, sat on the walls and kept looking at the beach.

What’s the story? – There was no story. There was just silence! Well, that was a definition of priceless!

Small Stones – A Pebble of Glow

Beginning Note:

1. Firstly i would like to thank Mama Cormier for introducing me to “small stones” in the blog post linked here.

2. Secondly, this post is written as an assignment for the BLOGGING 101 course. More details of course and other assignments can be found HERE.

3. The Mission is to write four to five sentences on “Standing Out”

A Pebble of Glow

• Thinking inside-the-box is the solution when everyone else is thinking out-of-the-box
• Doing it our way is the uniqueness for we are created in our own terms and conditions
• Standing out is everything about pulling everything from inside
• The game is always on, We just need the right switch to be triggered
• Believing and belling ourselves with the hope that “I can do it”  will one day be “I have done it”
• After-all, the game is all about finding a pebble of glow!

What are small stones?

A small stone is a short piece of writing (any style) that precisely captures a fully-engaged moment for you. The process of discovering small stones is as significant as the finished creation. Searching for small stones encourages you to keep your senses on the “alive and alert” status. Involve yourself with a new set of eyes, ears, nose, mouth, fingers, feelings and mind.

In short … OPEN, OPEN, OPEN!

Pen, Paper and Keyboard

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Pens and Pencils.”

When was the last time you wrote something substantive — a letter, a story, a journal entry, etc. — by hand? Could you ever imagine returning to a pre-keyboard era?

  

When “pen and paper” were introduced for the first time, there was a lot of dis-agreement to use as against the popularly used media “quill“. Now, My generation has seen one more transition of pen and paper to the “keyboard“.

I am lucky that neither i belong to pen and paper nor the keyboard generation. I belong to the one who has seen the transition. So, its natural to use both of them. My frequency of use of the both the media is almost the same.

My personals are pen and paper. And my presentations are keyboard. I still prefer pen and paper and suggest the use of keyboard! Funny!

Randomness and What?

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Image Search.”

Pick a random word and do Google image search on it. Check out the eleventh picture it brings up. Write about whatever that image brings to mind.

The random word i picked was “random”. The 11th image was an interesting one from storyabout.com.

Life is random? why not? Because it cannot be tested. If we knew how to test, it cannot be random. This is interesting! When our life becomes monotonous, life keeps a small test as it knows we are not being random and its not fun. Those tests in life are the flags to say, “This is the Lesson. Go ahead”. The randomness has random amount of joy and sorrow. Life has random amount of randomness as well. Dance, eat, sleep, enjoy, plan, freak, hangout, help, serve and yes, pick them all out randomly!
