365 Writing Prompts: Reading Material

How do you pick what blogs or books to read? what’s the one thing that will get you to pick up a book or click on a link every single time?

Some of the blog posts I always read are written by my friends, then there are some I like because of their poetic skills, I read it  to help me.

There are posts where the writer writes about topics that are very interesting. For e.g., “The Bronx Boys”, there are others who write equally interesting posts.

Books: I always pick books based on the title : “I want to go home’ by Gordon Korman, “Charlie and the chocolate factory ” by Roald Dahl; “A dog’s journey”; and most of Paulo Coelho’s books.

I also read novels by Bengali and Urdu writers in those languages.There are many to choose from so far I’ve read the books written by popular authors.

Besides novels I like reading Biographies of famous people such as: Clinton, Iqbal, Tagore and others.

DP Daily Prompt: Bookish Choice

A literary minded witch gives you a choice with the flick of the wand, you can become either an obscure novelist whose work will be admired  and studied by a select few for decades, or a popular paperback author  whose books give pleasure to millions. Which do you choose?

I’d be happy to be a paperback author.The fact my books will make millions happy is something I’d choose. These days life is hard,people need something that will entertain them,a paperback  book will help them read  it is cheaper and if it contains good stuff , they will influence others to read.

It will keep me busy I’d think of writing about everything the readers like and I’ll never be bored, I’d be writing.

365 Writing Prompt:Your life, the book

From a famous writer or a celebrity, to a wordpress.com blogger or someone close to you–who would you like to be your biographer? My biographer, I think  I’ll choose my friend of many years to write my biography.

She knows a lot about me, some parts of my life she doesn’t know such as where I grew up I can help her with that. I prefer people who know me well to write it.

I’ve only known some of the bloggers no more than a couple of months, there are some I know longer. To write a biography requires a long time to research; the facts have to be true; there may not be people who’d be interested to write my biography.

I can pretend they are  interested, at this time I only want my friend to write it.

365 Writing Prompt:A Mystery wrapped in an enigma

Tell us something most people probably don’t know about you.

There is nothing unusual about me, I am as normal as the person next door. I have my likes and dislikes like anyone else. My looks resemble my parents as others do.

My food habits resemble the people where I’m from, it is not different. One difference in my food habit maybe is, there are foods I do not like, the ones I like I can eat day after day without getting bored. The word “bored” is absent from my vocabulary. There were many occasions when I was confused when the kids I taught would say, “We are bored”.

I asked myself Why? There are so many things we can do, why do they say they are bored, is it because they picked up the word from somewhere and think it is cool to say, “I am bored”?

Blue is my favorite color, I always chose blue when I bought clothes for myself. My siblings don’t like my choice of blue all the time, but I’m very stubborn, they were not able to change my mind.

I have very few friends but the ones I have  are for keeps. I’d do anything for them, provided it’s not something unachievable.

I love learning languages, I think it’s an exciting thing to do.

When I watch matches or games, I always pick my favorite otherwise I do not find it interesting. My husband once said, “Why do you have to pick a favorite, enjoy it?”

I love poetry and music I can spend a whole day reading poetry or listening to music. My favorite writers are Tagore and Iqbal.

I have very few hobbies, one is reading novels written by my favorite authors and two is spending time writing for my blog.

Blogger challenge,letter S

Selfish and Selfless 

Are two different acts

I’d rather not choose the former

If I can’t be the latter!

 

So I tried to sort out 

Among the people to

Tell me sincerely 

Which one they’d select!

 

I was surprised to know

Nearly all of them voted 

For selfish and ignored selfless

Because they said,

“We’d like to look after ourselves first!”

365 day posts Jan. 22 “I Got Skills”

If I could be a mistress of any skill in the world I’d pick teaching young children. I’ve spent a number of years teaching elementary pupils, I think I’ve gathered enough experience to do the job successfully.

Pupils at the age from five to eleven are easy to handle. They believe in the teacher. They think after their Mom a teacher is their next best  friend.

I also know there are kids who are different. They’re unable to confide in their teacher. I taught many kids I know what they like and dislike. I believe I can do a better job handling elementary kids.
