One world!

 

Seats thirty, thirty one and thirty two, on the Jeddah \ Casablanca flight have been empty since our departure. I told myself to take them and lie there for awhile as long as the flight usually takes about six to seven hours. I took them. In front of me, two happy ladies were talking about  going back to their husbands in the Ukraine. I did not believe what I heard. The Russians gave back Crimea to the Ukrainians and withdrew from there. The Americans decided to lift the sanctions from them. It

Writing challange : A six word story

I saw myself in my kid.
Category: true story

This is my story. To look at my kid and to see myself, this is something I can hardly describe by the words. To watch their smile which is yours is maybe the best gift u could have ever got. To look into their eyes and to see their love they give u is worth living. To watch them growing up and to realize they have similar character , these all are aspects of life that give us - parents energy and inspire us to live colorful and meaningful life.

Hello, this is my first time I participate in Writing Challenges. 

Wish luck to all participants. Here we go.

Story is true, sad, and cruel at the same time.

"Born 0. Died 20. Buried 80"

This is my own idea, about peoples' lives. About meaning, purpose and adding value of it. About finding yourself, your own idea of life. It doesn't say about material wealth, but all aspects, that made you fill comfort and brings happiness to your life. 

Many people spend their life meaningless, poor in grey colours.

The world of science is today driven by a few dominant languages such as English, Chinese, Russian, French, German, Spanish and Japanese.

Fire, Lighting And Us!

It is unknown yet on how the prehistoric human found fire in the so called premature context, but it is very clear that the control of fire was one of the greatest achievements of humankind’s evolvement towards a better life.

At the beginning, the primitive humans would have deeply thought of that fire was a gift of god – the concept of god would have been assigned to all invisible phenomenons in the environment, so in that setting, new concepts, cults, beliefs came into sight based on the power

It seems that people are fond of dividing all into various segments based on numerous issues such as nationality, religion, gender, income status, skin color, profession, country and so on. For the last 15 years or more, I have been working with the virtual world in different capacities, so I was lucky enough to get to know a number of associates across the planet. I became an active participant of some networking sites in the cyber world mostly on learning purposes rather than just spending my

HONEYBEE LOVE

The third blog of the series of my previous two blogs:

When I was "deleted", (read my blog ‘deleted’) that was a real catastrophe for me and I felt my nerves shattered making my life more and more callous.  Then the “Agony’ came in to creation, (my last blog).  The Agony was responded and I received HONEYBEE LOVE, (I didn’t write this, this was her response to my Agony).   I welcome all the criticisms either from her or from you guys:

Power of attraction

Some 10 years back my confidence level was very low.  I was very shy and couldn't see a person directly and speak.  There may be the reasons of its own for the situation.  I lost my job and I was told my Ex-Boss that I am "emotionally imbalanced". I am totally out of control at that time.  I don't know how to survive and was worrying a lot.

During one of my wife's relative marriage we used to visit North India and we used to stay in one of my wife's relatives.  I was wondering how the people are

My Mother is praying for me.

I love my mother and 

I love my mother!

But she is far away from me,

She will never come back from there.

My mother  was so caring that

She did not make any time for her own good,

She was so sacrificing for me

Even that she could scarified her happiness for me.

My mother was so loving that

She could do everything for me,

She felt so anxiety for me when I was ill,

Even then she could not  slept at night.

But now she is far away from me

And I don't know how well she is.

But I know she is still so caring for me
