I Have Become Blind!!

You all must have understood by this time that I am a big supporter of disabled people. I believe that they have the talent and potential to do everything. But, unfortunately, they are not given the right status in our society.

In order to understand the difficulties such type of people face in their daily life, I decided to put myself in their shoes. So here I am acting as a blind person and describing how difficult it was to pass this ordeal. It is a difficult task, but this is what I did to realize their troubles.

I got up from my afternoon nap after hearing some loud voices. Some guests came to our house and there was happiness and chatter all around. The happy voices of blabber, small children playing around and sounds of peace and prosperity rang around my ears. But believe my eyes …… there was nothing but unending darkness.

Suddenly I heard a strange voice, maybe it was one of the many guests who were on a visit. I sat there with attentive ears and gleaming eyes that showed complete darkness.

I heard it again this time! A new voice. Now, I decided to play a game myself. I tried to describe the people from their voices.

The first voice was loud and boastful. It looked as if the person was trying to attract more attention towards himself. Maybe, he was a tall and stout man dressed in luxurious clothes and also with lots of money.

The next one was the voice of a woman – gentle and kind, but yet I felt a tinge of greed and jealousy in it. She was surely a beautiful lady, but not really as good as she sounded, I suppose.

Suddenly, a feeble voice was heard amidst the joyful chattering. It only said a sentence, but that conveyed a lot to my sensitive ears. It was benevolent and quiet with a thoughtful edge to it. It surely looked like someone good.

After this, I went to the garden and stood there. The soft sun rays were soothing to my cheeks. The delightful fragrance of flowers and the melodious chirping of birds made me stand in awe even though I could not see them.

Not able to resist myself, I finally opened my eyes. I realized the difficulties of such blind people. They can’t view the beauties of this wonderful world. But all they can see is disappointing and disheartening ever-long darkness!!

What do you think? Have you ever tried to put yourself in this position? Don’t you think disabled people need some help? I would love to hear your opinions. So, please leave a comment!!

Errors With A Twist Of Comedy!

A well planned shoot-out had to be executed at New York City. Jonathan Pitcher, a novice in this field is also working under the gang. This was Jonathan’s first experience in such a kind of dangerous plan. Being new to the gang, he had recently learned the rules and regulations!

He was instructed to reach the New York Central Park, sharp at 11:30 p.m. He did as he was told and saw not a single soul except an old man sitting in black overalls. Sure that he was his man; he went and sat down beside him.

In a murmur and without turning his face towards the man, he asked in a hoarse whisper, “Have you got it?” The man did not reply but got up and kept a brown parcel on his vacant seat and stealthily walked away!

Jonathan was rejoicing over completing his first and the most important task of his life! He was surprised a bit that the package with 3 automatic pistols could be so heavy but he walked fast with the intention to open the parcel in the security of his home.

He closed the doors and put blinds on his windows as soon as he reached home. Then with too much excitement in him…he opened the parcel. Out came a pistol…. but it was only one! “Maybe this is a really good one”, he thought and decided to check it. Sure that there wasn’t a bullet, he turned it towards his face and pushed the trigger! And bam…….a fountain of water sprouted on his face making him all wet! At last he came to his wits and understood that this was a …a…a…toy pistol!

As he walked away, Mr. Davidson, the old man, was extremely jubilant. His mind was at peace thinking that his parcel of the Christmas gift must have reached Merlyn, his granddaughter. Merlyn lived in a hostel which was a bit far. Mr. Davidson’s health didn’t allow him to visit her so he decided to send her Christmas gift through somebody who lived near the hostel. He had asked Merlyn to send a messenger so that he could give the toy gun to her. And this is what he thought he had done!

Poor Mr. Davidson! I am not sure if the parcel of pistol reached Merlyn or not…but I wouldn’t like to know! I wouldn’t like to hear that Merlyn was crying and Jonathan was fired from his new job on Christmas day!

Would you?

Life Is A Boon!

Life is something great and fun

But we always crave for a better one!

Everyone has his share of difficulties

But we should try to face them courageously

Life is a boon from Lord

So don’t go on the path you shouldn’t trod

Hope you understand how precious it is

Or it could be taken from you in a whiz!

Enjoy every moment of life

Especially times when you had to strife

But don’t you forget your values and manners

Because they are the ones which make you shine on banners!

Hope you learn a lesson from this poem

And enjoy life as a happy person!

What's In A Name?

Hi Guys! Have you all ever wondered how these names like google, yahoo, apple & microsoft were created? If not, I have these hilarious secrets in store for you today! Hope you enjoy reading them!

Google

Ten years ago, when Larry Page was choosing the name for his search engine, he created a major mistake! Call it a typo or blame spell check, he named his software- Googol by blunder. Page recorded the name within hours….and the result of this world famous error? Google now isn’t just a typing error but a new company worth about $10 million!

Ah! That was a deadly error with a great outcome creating a world famous industry!

Apple

The co-founder of the Apple Company, Mr. Steve Jobs, was also an Apple Farm Worker and an apple lover too! He and Steve Woznaic threatened the workers that if they didn’t come up with a better name for the company, they’d name it Apple! And this is exactly what they did!

But Mr. Steve, I’m sure you made the right decision as no one finds the name funny now!

Yahoo!

The two creators of yahoo are David Filo and Jerry Yang. This site started out as “Jerry and David’s guide to the world wide web” But seeing the uproar it created they changed the name to Yahoo, consulting a dictionary. The name Yahoo! is an acronym for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle", but as Jerry and David insist they selected this name for the sole purpose that it’s general definition was rude, unsophisticated and uncouth!

Yahoo, is now a global brand which initially started as a student hobby. You can now communicate with people, access information and also purchase things.

This is cool! I didn’t know that yahoo was a real word but now it sounds great for the two creators!

Microsoft

The word Microsoft was created by the world famous, Bill Gates. It was initially spelt as Micro-Soft and was created because it was meant to be taken as MICRocomputer SOFTware, the short form of which is Microsoft. But later the ‘–‘ was removed and the word was called Microsoft!

This shows how intelligent Bill Gates is, also being such a great creator and the richest man (or the second richest? I’m not sure!) in the world!

I thought that the wonderful creations of these names were very funny and interesting so I brought them up before you! If you have any thoughts, you are free to express them in the form of comments!

Awaiting The Immortal Death ......

Stephen Anglovitz lay on the hard cold and bare ground on the New York Highway. He was a man of poverty and now even worse, he was homeless and stranded on the street, where he took refuge from the biting cold. He lay on his back staring at the velvety night sky, littered with bright shimmering stars. They formed some vivid shapes in the ebony dark sky. As Stephen studied them he was taken back into his salad days of the past.

As a child too Stephen had loved to gaze at the night sky but this time he longingly watched the stars, which were like crystal balls away from the Earth for him. His name was associated with the Anglovitz, who held a high position in Norway. Stephen had played in the lap of luxury and happiness. His father was a wealthy and respected businessman. So Stephen had the most wonderful childhood one could have ever dreamt of. Riding on the sledge, enjoying his games and studying occasionally, was only what he had to do.

But as a youth; he changed and not into a responsible young adult but a squanderer. He neglected his studies and opted out of College. He became a spendthrift and got into bad company. He took his father’s hard earned money for granted.

But hell broke loose upon his family after his Dad died in an accident. They spent a lot of money on his cure and hospital bill, but he couldn’t be saved. His mother too, soon died due to grief and sorrow. Now Stephen was all alone in this wide world. Not even having a college degree, he couldn’t obtain a job. He hadn’t been a dunce but a cantankerous adult. His mistake as a youth was mortal so his life went to rags and tatters.

But now he had no choice except lying on the cold ground instead of the comfortable bed and staring at the shimmering stars instead of the ceiling. He had no choice except being frustrated, not with his life but himself. He had no one else to blame than himself. In the end, he had no other choice except………except awaiting the immortal death that could take away all his sorrow and pain!

Hi friends! I created this story using an entirely new method. I randomly chose 10 words from the dictionary (which are colored in red above) and tried to form a meaningful story from these words. I got this idea from the site 'Creative Writing Prompts'
