Live it Up!



The woman is facing bricks and turning to mortar and yet when approached is tender, loving and has a sympathetic smile.

Always wonder what is this skeleton made of?

 Although, scientifically the composition of man and woman is the same except for some different hormones that make her an SHE and a man an HE.
This lady is tortured, abused and goes under the knife for all the wrong reasons!

Unfortunately, this is not limited to any one country. It is happening behind walls even in developed nations.
Even though there are a bunch of women, who have proved that it is not just a man's world, but there are millions who are persecuted, tormented, and abused. Some victims are bold to make headlines and just reading about them gives the heebie-jeebies down the spine.

“Being a woman is a terribly difficult task since it consists principally in dealing with men.” ― Joseph Conrad

Dealing with men has become an issue for this weaker sex. Ego is the number one factor for all the above reasons cause women are definitely proving themselves to be multi-talented yet organized while man is idling away his time getting his adrenaline high by either watching sports or god knows what!!

“When a man gives his opinion, he is a man. When a woman gives her opinion, she is a bitch.” ― Bette Davis

Thus, explaining that a man's success is not just his since there is a woman behind it. This lady could be his mother, sister or wife. They are there to consistently guide him or pilot his aircraft to a safe landing.

“As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.” ― John Lennon

We ought to not just throw a few crumbs at her, but give her the respect, dignity, and appreciation for she has undergone and yet prefers to put a man on the pedestal.

What I really want to scream out loud is that no one is weak or strong when it comes to humans. Man and woman were created to live in unity and breed a community.

Mantra for today: “Men are from Earth, women are from Earth. Deal with it.” 
― George Carlin

Lancinating Love



"Be Ready!" came the command and the phone hung up.

Henna raised her eyebrows to avoid those tears falling as she got up angrily to get dressed and look her best.

The dress was already chosen.

She had no choice thus picked up the matching nail color and with music in the background, she kept practicing her smiles.

Hair and makeup were done in a jiffy since it was the natural act.
Nail color well etched in her nails. She pulled on the dress while eyeing the clock.
Just then she heard the door bell ring. At first, she trembled and quivered. Took a deep breath, pushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and froze.

Looked frantically for that piece of jewelry that defined their marriage; her ring. Wore it, and greeted her man, who scanned her from top to bottom, while extending a cold hand towards her.



"Be your best." he demanded as they drove to the destination.

She nodded obediently while fidgeting with her band, "Hmm... The choices I have made!" she muttered with moist eyes while keeping a pleasant face.

Soon the car stopped.
The couple was blinded with shutterbugs clicking from every angle.
She resisted at first, but after getting a nudge from her partner smiled and waved to the enthusiastic crowd.
The smiles she wore helped dull the sharp, stinging, knifelike pain she received from her love since they got into this union.

Cake and Clothes!

"Jane!" shouted the Mom from the bedroom.

"What?" she responded in an irritating tone.

"Your clothes are all spread out in the room." took a breather and continued to holler, "Next time, when you ask for a new set of clothes. Think twice!"

" Mom, Chill" Jane countered while texting.

Soon the Mom was standing next to her teen, who was oblivious to her presence.

"Sheesh! Mom! You scared me!" she exclaimed.

"Missy! you can't eat your cake and get away with it."

"huh!"

" Jane. I understand you like high class clothes, but you ought to look after them."

Grateful and acknowledgement!

 How can someone always be FULL of praises, and lend a helping hand to ALL?

Ever wonder!
Do such people even exist in the first place? 

Meet his beautiful woman, Charli Mills. An individual who is the classic example of the above.
This gentle soul has a smile that is so magnificent that it can light up the distance in miles from where we both live. Such is the genuineness of her smile!


Recently, Charli Mills, the founder of Rough Writers, and 99 words flash fiction who was my beta reader and agreed to do an editorial review for my recent book, "Voyagers into the unknown", was all praises for the book in her current blog.


Her flash fiction prompts will stimulate your brain as you try to keep it within 99 words while attempting to have fiction in it.

Join in that fun, since I have grown a lot as a writer courtesy those flash fictions!

Attaching a Link for you to subscribe to her CarrotRanch newsletter where the different writers who have participated in her prompts get highlighted.

Psst...she showcased my work  amongst many in one of her newsletters!

Read and grow via these subscriptions, and eventually join in the fun at the Ranch with your creative pen.

She will greet you with open arms, and her beautiful community of writers will inspire and give you space to grow!

Did I mention that she has a Bunkhouse Bookstore
Books written/published by the Rough Writers and Friends are featured here. You will get a glimpse of their work via other reviewers, and I guarantee you that you will like at least one book to read and treasure!

She is also lending her name to a noble cause: Check this out and trust me, it is a win-win situation for all. Do participate and not only get some karma points, but also grow as a writer. 

I end this note with gratitude to my virtual friend, confidante and mate.  I acknowledge all her hard work towards keeping us under one roof as Rough Writers as we trudge along in our respective lives and time zones. 

Sometimes Virtual friends could be angels in disguise since they have only seen your smiles from a distance but don't know the fits you throw in person. 

Although, Charli I assure you that I am not so much as the above statement, thus keep the intention to meet you in person some day!

Mantra for today: A smile, a hug can create an impact even if it is virtual. Such is the effect of kindness!
