Growing saplings #Flash Fiction

7 year old Pragya daily waters the seeds

Planted in beautiful pots three in a row

To capture different stages of growing saplings for a school project

Excited she is!  One day, when she zoomed in her camera lens

Alas, found the washed out saplings due to previous day’s rain.

Surprised to see a beautiful butterfly in my balcony

On a bright red flower resting in the shade,

When I went to touch the butterfly excited like a child,

I woke up by the sound of whistling pressure cooker in the kitchen. 

Alas! My day dream ended :(

Until next time,

Monday - Start of a fresh week

Written for Blog a prompt. Today's prompt is 'Monday' :)

People say many negative things about Monday. It is the start of daily routine, breaking the fun of weekend. It doesn't motivate you in any way, as you have whole week ahead with loads of work and new responsibilities. I agree all and even i would like to enjoy all weekends and would be happy if Monday is skipped out of calendar.. err.. that cannot happen. This is as if praying there shouldn't be last coach in a train :) 

If not Monday, there will be Tuesday which will become start of week :( 

So, there is no way we can avoid you dear Monday.. only way is to think something positive about you  and adjust :)

I usually complete all important tasks on Saturday and take enough rest on Sundays. So, will start Monday afresh. I don't know if the coming week will be good or bad, but want to welcome it happily. My son (2 yrs old) doesn't know difference between week days, because he plays and enjoys well on all days equally.  No  holidays and also no work for him. From next month, he will be joining school(nursery), and he will now know for sure in what way weekend is special. 

Whatever, avoid Monday blues and be hopeful of good things that may happen in the week. As it is said in movie Forrest Grump, 

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get"

What do you say?

Until next time,
