Fair world?

Society is not very fair to dark skinned, especially in Indian society. Fair and lovely and other fairness cream ads promote this obsession to fair skin a lot. These have been my thoughts in the perspective of a young girl with dark complexion.


It hurts when people say,
    "you are dark, not attractive"
   " It's difficult to get a good alliance for you"

It hurts when,
    people ignore my educational qualifications and a good job
    and frown on my skin colour

It hurts when,
    ads show as if having a fair complexion is the only goal of every girl

It hurts no more,
    As I am matured now, to ignore those foolish people who see only colours and nothing else in an         individual.

Unlock the potential

Srinija was busy as usual with her daily chores from morning.

Now, It's time to sit and relax for some time, sipping coffee and reading news paper after waving good bye to kids and hubby.

Unintentionally, her eyes moved towards her old passport photo from school days which dropped from wallet.

How can she forget school days? Golden memories!
Her academic achievements and awards for writing best articles in school magazines.

Now, she realized that there is one part of her life that she ignored recently, her interest in writing!
Bingo! She decided to unlock her potential in writing again :-)

Twist to fairy tale?

My friend's kid has a habit of listening to stories daily. 
Once, She told kiddoo a tale of elves helping a cobbler, by miraculously stitching shoes of customers overnight and completing them by morning.

When my friend pestered kid yesterday to complete her homework, she tried to escape by saying - will do it after dinner/  will do after playing for sometime/ getting sleep. 

At last, she asked her, 'Amma, if elves can help the Cobbler to complete orders, let me wait for them to finish my homework by tomorrow morning'.

Now, it's time for her to twist the fairy tale :p
