Eat Seafood And Become Rich!

Today while flipping through the black and white morning newspaper one of the articles caught my attention. My eyes nearly pooped out (so much that I felt they would drop down!) when I read the article. I am sure you all will be amazed too after reading this post.

It's party time for a couple from USA after an unbelievable incident took place to turn their lives. George and Leslie Brock had gone to a seafood joint in Lake Worth Florida to enjoy a luxurious seafood dinner. They were eating steamed clams (umm…..) when they made the shocking discovery.

He was only halfway when Brock encountered something hard while eating his dinner at Dave’s Last Resort and Raw Bar. Their tasty dish made them a millionaire! He and his wife were incredulously astonished to find a rare, iridescent purple pearl among the shellfish.

Experts who have seen the pearl say that the find is certainly worth a thousand of pounds. Gemologist, Antoinette Matlins says that few of these gems are round and even fewer have such lovely color. She thinks they have found something very valuable, precious and gorgeous. Such pearls are most commonly found in large New England quahogs-clams known for violet coloring inside their shells.

Certainly a lucky find, I would say. Only few people have such blessings by God showered upon them and this couple was one of them. Ah! How their lives changed in a day while eating yummy seafood dinner! So guys, every vegetarian out there and those who do not like seafood, I will advice you all to start eating seafood especially steamed clams if you are waiting for an easy and lucky way to become a millionaire! Who knows when your lucky stars may shine upon you?

Something Different!

Hi friends! This post of mine is not the usual story or poem but something I had been longing to write. I have written three entirely things in this post and hope you all have something in it for all of you! ENJOY :D

My Hidden Hobby

I am sure that I have not told you anything about my interest in drawings & paintings. Recently, one of the readers appreciated me about my art thinking that it was done by a professional, I was very much delighted. No....nothing big, I am just an amateur artist, along with being a budding blogger!

So when my dad presented me with a digital camera on my last birthday, I could not resist the temptation of digitizing some of my drawings (and I have also include them in some of my posts).So today, I thought I would put them before you for you all to judge. Actually, I hope you all can bear with it...LOL! I have put some of my paintings throughout this post!

A Great Start Of The Year

I recently received an award from a fellow Indian blogger and a very good friend, Anoop. He has made the beginning of the year prosperous for me by giving me the 'Bloggers Of The World Award'. Anoop, a lovely motivator and the owner of a fabulous blog has given me a really pleasant surprise (as he says it was for him too! ) Thank you for the honor, dear Anoop!

Online Chess

I had earlier mentioned that I have avid interest in chess. For those who do not know, I would like to mention that I am a National Chess Player (recently played the under-12 age group and earlier under-7 age group etc.) and had faired well in all these tournaments. My role models were the International Women Grandmasters like Koneru Humpy and Susan Polgar. I too wanted to become like one of them.

But of late due to my writing commitments, lethargy, laziness, distraction, studies, blogging or whatever reason you may suggest, I have reduced practicing chess these days. But last month, when my good friend, excellent blogger and a real chess enthusiast, Nikita encouraged me to play chess. She asked me to register with the online chess platform Chess.com and I could neither resist the temptation nor refuse her request. So I have registered with chess.com and here is my profile in that. Nikita, in her beautiful blog Chessalee shows many interesting games from Chess.com, which is delightful to follow!

Though I have finished about 15-20 games only (with around 10 in progress), I am glad that I could win more than 80% of the games I played (of which most of them are experienced grown-up players :D). Chess.com is a wonderful platform to lay your hands on, of course, if any of you are interested in chess. Any other chess enthusiast reading my blog is free to invite me for a game!

My Magical Bed-II

I hope you all remember my last adventure on my magical bed. For those who don’t know what my magical bed is…. I’ve got a magic bed! Oh Yes! I am not kidding but this is the real plain truth. How then, can you explain that as soon as I’m tucked into my bed, I’m drifted off to a faraway magic land? As soon as I get into the comfortable cushion and fall asleep I have a wonderful time! So I say I’ve got a magical bed! ….

To read the earlier post on my adventure with the magical bed, click here.

Last night, as soon as I was tucked into my comfortable Magical Bed went away to another far-away land. But this time this was not an Evil land as I mentioned in my last adventures. And this time surprisingly I was not invisible but I was easily seen by the natives of that place!

This time, the magical land I visited was Flowery Butterfly Place. This place was an extraordinary sight and a sure treat to the eyes! It was a bright and sunny place which looked happy and charming. The ever-lasting fragrance of flowers and the beauty of the native butterflies gave it a ravishing look.

I was warmly welcomed here as a guest. The gorgeous butterflies all gathered in the sky and then, behold! They slowly formed letters and finally words! To conclude, they formed “Welcome To The Flowery Butterfly Land” in bright and vibrant colors of the butterfly wings. The flowers too turned their smiling faces towards the entrance where I stood with a fascinating look in my eyes. Their joyful faces compelled me to beam too.

Then they arranged a feast of…of…honey cakes, honey bread, honey marmalade and even honey-made drink! I ate as much as I could (I suppose I’ve got too sweet a tooth!) To top my day with a cherry they also brought me some honey candies. I ravished the taste of some and some I dropped into my pocket to take home as a souvenir.

But while taking a tour, I noticed a small black butterfly weeping in the corner of the place. I talked to him and came to know that his name was Teene. When I questioned him abut his diminished involvement with the others of his tribes, he told me that he was heart-broken because Lord had not created him as beautiful as his other brothers and sisters.

Ah, yes! He wasn’t really a good looking fellow. He had dark wings of black and grey color with even darker spots. I told Teene that Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, as the saying goes…… “You must not be having external beauty but surely you would like to develop inner beauty instead of improving your outer one. The others will love you (even more than they do now) if and only if you help them in their troubles and co-operate with them. Forget your ugliness and feel how beautiful you are inside and I’m sure you’ll never be weeping. By the way, you sure look beautiful when you have a smile on your face as of now, dear Teene”, I said!

Teene paid attention to my words and I’m glad I could make him as cheerful as his friends! But then, as usual when I’m doing something good, I heard my mom’s voice calling for me. I woke up rejuvenated and got dressed. But when mom put a plate of bread and marmalade before me, I had a sly grin on my face and said, “I’ve already had something better than this Mom”. She had a confused look as I felt in my pockets and realized something sticky was in there.

Hysterical Giggling!

Hi guys! Last week, one of my old neighbors, who have now shifted to somewhere far away, came for a visit. That time I was feeling really naughty. I played a real bad prank on him which I would like to tell you all about. I know you will find it highly disgusting (maybe!) but what are kids for, after all?

I was happily playing games on the computer when the doorbell rang. My younger brother, always very attentive to the surrounding (especially when he is studying) went and opened the door. Then I heard a shout of glee and hugs. My parents also went to welcome the guest. But still my laziness did not compel me to go there.

Finally I was called. I too became glad to see the old unrecognizable face. I churned my memory for a few seconds and then remembered all of a sudden…it was Uncle Sam! Ah, the good old Uncle who brought us many gifts and toys in our childhood days when he lived next to us. But long ago, he had shifted away to some other place due to his transfer. But he was not alone. Aunt and his children were there too!

I felt very guilty when this naughty prank came to my mind after them. But when I told my brother had got his agreement along with his enthusiasm, I forgot all the guilt. After all, Callex and Samuel, his children, had also played numerous naughty pranks on us!

We knew how much Callex, the elder one, loved milk. It was his favorite beverage. He could drink milk all day long. He did not want water or juice but plain milk! I knew my mother would be boiling milk for Callex in the kitchen. I went into the kitchen and sent mom out on the pretext that Aunt was calling for her.

My brother then brought a dead spider, a plastic one of course! It was a toy but looked unimaginably real like a dead spider! It sent shivers down my spine when I saw it too. But remembering that it was just a toy, I held it in my hands and then plop! It went into the glass of milk kept for Callex. It then drifted down to the bottom and satisfied I took the glass to my friend!

The children had been sent into the playroom while the elders sat and chatted in the sun. A happy news for me because then my parents would not necessarily know about our prank! I took the glass to Callex and stood keenly watching him with a sarcastic smile to see the rest of the show!

Minute by minute the milk in the glass started disappearing down Callex’s throat. After taking the last sip……he shouted…“eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhh”… “.aaaahhh”! He had a funny expression on his face. One of confusion and then sudden fear! But I could not stop laughing! As much as I tried I giggled away to glory while Callex and Samuel shouted in terror. But then something I had not imagined happened! Callex vomited out of terror or maybe disgust!

I had not imagined this, but Callex was really terrified! He then started complaining of imaginary stomach ache and other problems due to having drank that milk. And then he vomited, once again! Embarrassed, Uncle Sam and Aunt took leave to take him to the doctor.

I felt guilty at this time but seeing once again, the faces of my parents with an expression of confusion, I burst out laughing! I then remembered Callex’s face and suddenly my hysterical giggling wouldn’t stop. My parents didn’t find this funny and sent me off to my room with a lecture on mannerism and conduct. But what to do, I could not stop laughing remembering this incident! He...he...

Could you control your laughter at such circumstances? Or do you agree with my parents?

Everything You Want To Know About ......

About Me:

Hi friends! So you want to know about me? I’m a twelve year old Indian girl and my name is Meghna. (Edit: I have become a teenager -13 now!) I’m a student and I love to read books. Life is bare without them.

Oh no, I’m not a book worm but a student, hard working (or is it hardly working!!), a real prankster, you know, like all other kids out there! I like to play chess, doing taekwondo, draw and paint, watch T.V (at all times!), listen to music and at times, day-dream!! And one of my favorite past-times is writing. I love to write. I am fond of having a paper and pen and writing short stories or poems.

My daily updates concern my internal feelings and hobbies etc.

• I write about things that matter!
• I write original short stories and poems!
• I write honestly!
• The work is true and is me, of course!!

Now, that’s not much for a kid if you’re thinking so! And my latest is blogging! I read about it in a magazine and since then I’m fascinated by the internet and hooked on!

As Charles W. Eliot says,

“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends;
they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors,
and the most patient of teachers.”

And if you want to know more about me…….Read my blogs!

About this Blog:


Name: 'Delve into the Mind of A Budding Blogger'


Now, what do I (a young girl!) do with a blog, you have the right to ask!!

My blog is a blog with posts full of poems, stories, humor, mystery, fiction, fantasy, bizarre, school, children, books and anything else you would want to read!

I started blogging to improve my writing; I really did. Famous scientists don't start with great inventions – they start on small experiments, and even when planning a great work, they do many other trial and errors in preparation. I think writing is the same. You just don't start and finish a story by merrily typing into the computer; you experiment. Blogging is sort of like a writer's doodling. So this is my scratch pad of sorts.

I want to communicate better, make new friends and learn more about the internet. This effort will flourish only with your help and support so please log on regularly and keep reading…

I can’t expect everyone out there to read my blog but if you’ve got nothing else to do, you’re welcome to read my blog!

Hope you enjoy reading it!


About my second Blog:

Name: 'The Writing Pages'



Addicted to blogging, I have started another blog too. The other blog, my second one, is about writing, books, authors, reviews and much more.

This blog is about writing, writing & writing. Apart from mentioning all aspects of writing, I would love to discuss some interesting books which I come across. I am always drawn towards the lives of interesting aspects of the famous authors of these books. So I will come up with some of the lesser known bizarre facts from those parts of their lives which I am certain will amuse and interest you.

I hope that you will enjoy reading that also and, like this one, become a regular reader of it too!
