Blogging 101, Day : Eleven, Personal prompt: Tunnel vision

Day Eleven: Make a Prompt Personal

Today’s assignment : Publish a post based on your own, personalized take on a blogging prompt. My favorite prompt right now is:

Tunnel Vision: these two words immediately reminds me of narrow mindedness, just like retinitis pigmentosa, it’s an incurable disease, while the latter is an eye disease that eventually causes blindness to the patient with this symptom. The former  plays with the mind and  makes it blind.

We make up our mind about things based on generalization.

In my case when they find out  I am a  ‘Bengali’  they  immediately associate it with the word ‘traitor’. How did this thought come to  their minds?

History tells us there was a certain man named ‘Mir Jafar’ was   a Bengali who jeopardized the fate of the people of his country by trading secrets. He did it because of his selfish interest. Mir Jafar was a traitor , hence all Bengalis are traitors.

It seems my being a  Bengali, is a terrible thing. They will discriminate me just because of of this.  It is becoming difficult for me to endure it.

I find  solace thinking , I can do something which makes me happy,  Blogging is one of them. Here everyone is sincere eager to help when I need it , will never ignore me because I am a Bengali.

I had the most pleasant experience a few days ago, I wrote to Michele I was unable to do Day Ten  assignment, I did not understand how it can be done. I found a detailed explanation in my reply box, how to do it. It certainly made my day.

Although in my reply I thanked blogger, Azhar Youssef, yet I felt it is not enough.

I came to the conclusion, not everyone is narrow minded, there are a lot of them who are broad minded, which makes our world pretty special.

DP Daily Prompts: Object Lesson

Sherlock Holmes had his pipe.Dorothy had her red shoes. Batman had his Batmobile. If we asked your friends what object they immediately associate with you, what would they answer?

If you ask my friends what object they immediately associate with me, they’ll be in a state of perplexity. I do not smoke a pipe, wear red shoes or have a Batmobile. They may not like to admit they cannot associate me with any object, rather than look foolish, they’d ask you to give them some time to think it over.

In the meantime I’d face a barrage of questions like, ‘Hey Ranu what object do you have that you go out with daily?’

This very question will make me aware they’re up to something, I’d throw the question right back at them. They’ve asked for some time to think over, they didn’t get the answer from me.

They make up their mind to ask my parents, it seems impossible, my parents are not visible anymore, they ask my cousins, they have no idea, they see me once in a while.

They didn’t want to give up, they get in touch with one of my teachers, unfortunately for them the teacher said, “I teach my students I do not look for anything that I can associate them with,you’ve come to the wrong person, goodbye.”

The friends are tired and embarrassed, they do not want to accept defeat, one of them said, “We associate her with her, “Smile!”
