Daily Prompts: Imaginary Friend

Many of us had imaginary friends as young children. If your imaginary friend grew up alongside you, what would his/her/its life be like today? ( Didn’t have one? Write about a non-imaginary friend you haven’t seen since childhood).

I did not have imaginary friends, I was busy playing with my siblings, there was never a moment when I could think of imaginary friends. If I wasn’t busy with my siblings, I was doing chores for my Mom.It hardly left enough time for me to imagine anything.

I had a friend in school in the lower grades. She was quite nice, but her attendance in school, left a lot to be desired. Her parents were wealthy, she was the only child. I presume they didn’t care much about her education.

During our summer vacation,  my Dad passed away. I didn’t get  a chance to say  goodbye to my friend.

We were in the process of leaving the city to go to Bangladesh, my parents’ original home. I  lost contact with her, but wondered what she was doing.

My guess is she may not have continued her education after high school. Her parents  probably were anxious to see her married, if nothing else she could produce grand kids for them.

My non-imaginary friend I think is happily married, she has multiple servants at her beck and call; she certainly has no time to think of her childhood friend.

Daily Prompts:Bonus Assignment

Do you keep a notebook? Good.Jot down the first thought you have upon waking, whether or not it’s coherent.

The above was a bonus assignment given to us  yesterday for this morning.

I was awakened by my alarm. I was trying very hard not to  leave my bed to get ready for prayer this one day. I figured God would forgive me if I said my prayer after sunrise.

My mind split into two, there was a tug of war going on between them. One said, “Yes, Ranu, God will forgive you if you say your prayer after sunrise.”

The other the conscientious one kept buzzing, ” No He won’t so get up and get ready for prayer!”

I was already awake and could not bear to listen to the two minds, besides guilt overtook me and reluctantly I left my bed to get ready for prayer. In a way I’m pleased,   I  knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep while the good and the bad  mind were continuing to argue.

This happens to be what I thought when I woke up this morning.
