Price tag

“Mom, come with me I want to show you something. If we take that home, our home will look beautiful. Mom, please come and have a look at it.” A grown up kid of near about ten or eleven years asked his mother. I overheard the conversation. As mother was busy in shopping he pleaded again. His repeated requests made me curious and when he showed the thing of his interest to her mother I clicked it. The price tag on the swing was Rs. 2,02,500/-.


What do you think mother will buy it for the kid or she will made an excuse where is the place in the house to keep it?

Rejection

“Why are you sad? Business problem? Huh??” Mr. ‘H’ asked.
“My story has been rejected.” I said with dismay.
He patted my shoulder with affection. “The publishers will reject you so many times that you will forget the pain of rejection by your ex. By the way was he really worth of rejecting you?”

My first short story

Yesterday I recieved this mail.

Dear Chandrika,


Thank you for taking the time to submit your work to us.


Unfortunately, we aren't able to accept this story for publication. Don't let this get you down, though. There are many possible reasons for turning down a story, and we regularly turn down great work just because it isn't quite right for us. (Due to time constraints, we're unable to discuss reasons for rejecting specific stories.)


The XYZ submissions team.

Do you think this mail is specially written for my story or it is their regular mail in which they just change the name of the author whose work is being rejected?

Lonely

“It is lonely at the top.” A celebrity wrote.
“It is lonely at the bottom too. :(” A common man commented.

Do you agree or disagree with the common man?

Just a click!

I clicked this simple photo after great effort as this man dressed in langur was crowded with kids, young girls, guys and even aunties and uncles to shake hand with him or to have a click with him. Like langur, he screeched to shoo every one away.

What do you suggest should I also click a photo with him to post it on social networking site or should not have a photo with him as it will look ridiculous?

Haemoglobin & Chlorophyll

“My daughter has cleared the medical entrance exam.” Mr. ‘J’ told me.
“Congrats! What is her name?” I asked.
“Haemoglobin.”
“It is her real name or nick name?”
“Real name. And my son’s name is Chlorophyll.”

Do you think Haemoglobin and Chlorophyll are unique or funny names?

Happy 2012! :)

In a book shop I saw Annual horoscope 2009 by Bejan Daruwalla. Nobody buy it in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Let us hope that someone might buy it in 2012.

Happy 2012! :)
