tring tringggg!!!

Romil's mobile is ringing while he is busy working with an issue. He ignored the calls couple of times until this time when he planned to shout at the caller. After answering he could hear his wife laughing with some person. He immediately called his wife and her first word was "it works". And reminded him to come early for their sons school function.

PS: This is my first attempt for the 55 word fiction. Donno how much fiction is introduced in my story :D

I Wanted To...

There are pencils, sketches, crayons, markers, chalk pieces, toys and papers spread all over the floor. Sara was wondering if she accidentally came to any play school. She passed through the main door again and looked across the colony. Finally she looked at the door number and saw her husband's name written above it. It was such a relief to find that she was not dreaming and its actually her house. There was no one in the hall and her mother was not seen around in the kitchen. The walls of the hall,sofa and cushions were completely scribbled with marker. She went to the kids room and saw that grandmother was helping Abhi with drawing homework.

Abhi is her 6 year old son. All of a sudden Dolly came from under the bed, showing a paper to Sara.
Dolly asked,"How are my drawings mamma? Even I wanted to draw pig,dog and cat."
That innocent expression of Dolly, who is just 4 year old brought immense happiness in Sara's face. She kissed Dolly and started cleaning up the mess.
No wonder mothers are so sweet and patient. They forget every misery for their kids.
Happy Mothers Day!!!

To greed, all nature is insufficient

Note: This story is told in rural india to children before going to sleep. Its kind of fairy tale with a moral in it.
                            One hair queen

Once upon a time there lived a King who had two beautiful wives. First wife had only 1 hair and second wife had 2 hairs. King wasn't happy with the first wife having  only 1 hair and sent her to exile. First wife, devastated by the kings behavior was crying horribly in the jungle when from no where appeared an old woman and asked what was wrong with her. She told the whole story to her. After listening to the story, the old woman has told her to follow few steps. First to stop crying and be brave. Second, to walk 3 miles north to find a lake and to take a dip 3 times in its water. She wished her good luck and disappeared.
First wife followed the steps told by the old woman and took 3 dips in the water. She got her complete hair back and was looking more beautiful than before. She was more happy than one could imagine.She went back to the kingdom, bowing before the king and asked him to accept her as his wife again. The king was amazed and accepted her.

Meanwhile he sent second wife to exile on the same grounds. She followed the foot steps of the first wife and met the same old woman on the way.
She gave the exact same steps as told to first wife. Second wife turned into a beautiful lady after 3rd dip. The next moment she thought she would become more beautiful by taking few more dips. Alas!!! Her greed had ruined everything. She lost her beauty,hair and looked wrecked. She cursed herself for being greedy.
Finally she went to the king for his forgiveness and asked him to accept her. The king couldn't forgive her and told her that her greed has taken everything from her. The king and his first wife lived happily ever after!!!!

Moral:There is no cure for greed. We just have to be content with what we have. The more we want, the more we are losing our SELF. 

I know you would

"Momma... today is 4th march... and you know what!!!", the 4 year old Sweety was shouting to catch her mom's attention who is busy swinging fingers on the keypad of her laptop. Lina is working from home as Sweety's nanny got sick.
Lina,"what baby??"
Sweety,"you forgot what is on 4th??"
Lina,"what is it??"
Sweety,"I know you would. I m sad!!". Saying that she ran away into her room.
Lina could hear soft sobs from kids room and found Sweety in the closet holding Tutu.
"I m sorry kiddo,tell me what is it", said Lina.
"Today is Tutu's birthday. You promised to make a cake and celebrate."
"Okay fine. Lets go and make yummy cake and party in the kitchen!!!"

Tutu is an abandoned piglet which Sweety found near her school and kept it as her pet since then.

You are okay

Reena was sitting on a couch with one hand over the forehead and twisting the ring over her ring finger and wondering how she would cope with the situation at hand. She was deeply concerned about moving from one place to another. Anyone looking at her with swollen and reddened eyes, can say that she hasn't slept properly for days and not ate enough.
Her four year old daughter moves near the couch slowly with a soft teddy in her hand and touches her mom on the cheek and says,"You are okay mom!!!!We will deal with it." That move her by daughter gave enough strength to Reena to handle the infidelity by her husband. She has filed a divorce in the court and was wondering how her life would be being a single mother and living in a different city altogether.

The house of 1000 mirrors

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the

House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place

and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the

stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway

with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his

great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little

dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great

smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and

friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a

wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as

the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs

and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the

1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them

and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he

left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go

back there again."

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do

you see in the faces of the people you meet?

PS: I got this wonderful story from a book. And I just loved it!!! 

A wooden box of things

Meeti, has lots of friends in her school. She the most active and brilliant girl of her class. Btw she is in 3rd class. Everyday her mom puts snacks, nuts and fruits in her box. She explains her the need to eat good food and the varieties of things available from nature. She has to answer everything as Meeti has enough questions popping from her little head.
One day Meeti saw her friend eating biscuits from a box which is named as some supplements. She was wondering why her friend is not eating fruits or anything which is natural. Her friend answer saying that the biscuits have enough proteins, minerals and enzymes etc etc. She couldn't understand the actual reason behind that.
At home she bombarded her mother with questions regarding supplements. Her mom replied that its one way of eating and being healthy when we dont have natural things at hand. Meeti asked,"what if tomorrow we dont get natural things and should we eat tablets?". Her mom,"May be. It might happen in the next couple of years because no one would have enough land to produce things and eat synthesized food." Again Meeti asked,"Is that how people would survive on moon if they go there?".
After two days she came to her mom asking her to buy a wooden box. Her mom had no idea on why would she need a wooden box when there is enough space in wardrobe.  She got one box for Meeti. For the next one week, Meeti was busy arranging things in her box. Her mom couldn't understand anything as to what her daughter is busy with. Next day Meeti asked her mom to give some wheat.
Before giving her mom asked,"why do you need those grains?"
Meeti,"I want to have a sample of wheat in my box."
Her mom,"But why?"
Meeti," I want to remember how grains are,nuts are,fruits are and I am collecting them in my box. I will see them when i grow big and use in my garden. We will eat tablets na and seeing them in exhibition... Will the seeds be okay so long mom?"
