Chandrika Shubham : A reserved chit-chatter

One set of footprints!

2012-01-31T07:30:00.000-08:00

While cleaning my wardrobe I found my diary in between the piles of files and books. I opened it. At page No. 73 some lines were written from the book 'Nuggets' ....

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. Sometimes there were two sets of foot prints, other times there was only one. This bothered me because I noted that during the low periods of my life when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to Lord, "You promised me that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most difficult time of my life there has been only one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most have you not been there with me?"

Lord replied, "During your times of sufferings when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

In difficult times does this really happens or it is just a good theory to calm the agitated mind?

Scratch yourself

2012-01-30T00:40:00.000-08:00

If you are feeling bored then scratch yourself, you will feel better!

I read this on net in an article ‘How to pass time when feeling bored?’

Do you agree or disagree with the statement?

Lemonade

2012-01-29T07:53:00.000-08:00

I read somewhere...

When fate hands us a lemon, lets try to make a lemonade.

What are your views on this?

Three stupid questions

2012-01-22T06:50:00.000-08:00

In general while chatting online people asked me.
Q1 Hello. How r u?
I was good before talking to u. ;)
Q2 What r u doing?
Of course chatting with u. ;)
Q3 Tell something about you.
It is written on my blog. ;)

Do you think they have enough time to waste or do they think that I have plenty of time to waste? ;)

Spellings

2012-01-20T00:08:00.000-08:00

I wrote on a social networking site : Why people make so many spelling mistakes that I can't even understand what they are trying to say!?!! :/

Mr. 'N' commented : They are SMS ing.

me : SMS has given new heights to SPELLINGS! :D

Do you agree or disagree with me?

2012-01-19T07:06:00.000-08:00

Mr. 'D' : u?

Mr. 'D' : tell abt u
me : It is written on my blog.

Should I suggest Mr. 'D' to wear branded spectacles or lens to see it clearly? ;)

Physical relationship

2012-01-18T08:06:00.000-08:00

Mr. 'R' : do u like physical relationship
me : What about you?
Mr. 'R' : tell ur opinion
me : First you!
Mr. 'R' : i love to do physical relation. what about u
me : With whom female or male? ;)

Number of children

2012-01-15T05:02:00.001-08:00

“Where have you worked before?” I asked.
“I was driver of a Korean family. I can speak English as I have cleared 10+2. I am a responsible person. I have 2-3 children.” Mr.'F' replied.

How many children he have 2/3 or 2+3=5? ;)

A question

2012-01-12T05:40:00.000-08:00

Do you think if these stalked clothes fall from one’s hand will they break? ;)

Love-life

2012-01-10T02:10:00.000-08:00

Every man's love-life is interesting. If he doesn't have one, that's interesting. If he has one, that's interesting. And if he has two, that's twice as interesting.
I read these lines in 'A Suitable Boy' by Vikram Seth.

What is your opinion about man's love-life?

Price tag

2012-01-09T05:35:00.000-08:00

“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

2012-01-08T02:03:00.000-08:00

“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

2012-01-07T07:06:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-06T03:04:00.000-08:00

“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!

2012-01-05T04:50:00.001-08:00

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

2012-01-03T07:34:00.000-08:00

“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! :)

2012-01-01T00:05:00.000-08:00

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! :)

Pic : The book can be seen just below the reflection in knife shape.

Wittiest pic of 2011!

2011-12-30T23:45:00.000-08:00

While surfing net I come across this pic with the caption ‘Gas Transplant’. This is the wittiest pic I have seen in 2011!

Goodbye 2011!

GOD?

2011-12-25T08:24:00.001-08:00

“I don’t believe in God. I hate God.” A middle aged widow said after hearing about the untimely death of her daughter. She was a religious woman before this incidence.

Why we have faith in GOD when we are happy and loses it as soon as any sorrow comes in our lives?

On the other side of fence

2011-12-24T07:45:00.000-08:00

I clicked a photo of them and showed them. And then they all gave this beaming pose. The group was standing on the other side of fence saying ‘hello’ and ‘bye’ to each passer-by. Most of the persons were ignoring them.

I searched my purse of some toffees and found only one.

What do you think should I give them or should drop that idea as they were four in number?

Erotic romance

2011-12-23T06:27:00.001-08:00

Mr. ‘S’ asked me. “Do you write short stories for kids?”
“Believe me or not, I write erotic romance.” ;)

This is 400th post.:)

Dustbin?

2011-12-21T03:38:00.000-08:00

As we were walking through a forest area, the kid in our group after eating chocolate asked me, “Should I throw this wrapper in this dustbin?” I couldn’t see any other dustbin nearby nor was sure what this construction was for. In such a situation what do you think should be mine reply?

Chuja in the bank!

2011-12-19T07:29:00.001-08:00

“Chuja! Chuja Stop!! CHUJA STOP!!!” A young woman screamed to a tiny dog whose chain slipped from her hand in the bank. She tried to stop him while slowly running towards him.

Which was more irritating; she brought the dog in the bank or the dog name was ‘Chuja’ (chick)?

Evening walk companion!

2011-12-18T07:49:00.000-08:00

“What are you doing?” Mr. ‘H’ asked me on phone.
“Evening walk!” I replied.
“Alone?”
Just then I saw a creature moving along the side of path with me. So I said. “No. Not alone.”
“With whom?” He was damn curious to know.

Short story competition

2011-12-17T08:28:00.000-08:00

I am thinking of participating in a short story writing competition. I have to frame a story of more than 5000 words which is really a tough task for me.

As the genre is mythology should I write an incidence form Ramayana or Mahabharata?
