DP Daily Prompts: Five a Day

You’re being exiled to a private island,and your captors will only  supply you with five foods.What do you pick?

I will pick, 1. water, 2. a vegetable ( which is good for health) 3. fish or meat( a kind that is not harmful to our health. 4. fruit (any kind) 5. a snack ( some kind of nuts, biscuit, or even another fruit).

My first item is water, we cannot survive without water, it is essential to maintain good health.

My second preference is a vegetable of any kind. I named only one because we are allowed only one.Eating vegetable daily is advised by our physicians. What  a vegetable can provide for our health other food items do not.

Third on my list is fish or meat: out of the two I have written fish is better than beef or even chicken as far as our health is considered.

Fourth is a fruit: It is just as important and useful as the vegetable. Its function is to keep us regular, it is an important part of maintaining good health.

Fifth and last on my list is a snack: we must eat snacks that are good for our health, I have included nuts or biscuit or even another fruit. Since I can only list five things, I have thought about the foods very carefully, to make sure while we are captured ,we eat foods that will keep us healthy!

365 Writing Prompts: Festivus for the rest of us

You have been named supreme ruler of the universe. Your first order of business  is creating and instituting a holiday or festival in your honor. What day of the year is your holiday? Describe Your Day in as great a detail you can muster : The special foods we’ll consume, the decorations we’ll use —everything.

I am thrilled to know I am named as the supreme ruler of the universe. I want to let the people decide the day that is best for them to proclaim as a holiday.

Once the decision is unanimous I along with the citizens will  draw up a plan, how the day should be celebrated.

On the morning of the holiday the towns,cities, and boroughs will be provided with sufficient financial aid to bear the cost of decoration, kids would be invited to do some artwork as one of the decorations, these will then be be pasted on the pillars and walls of the community.

It will be a day when men women and children will be encouraged to wear their finest clothes and sing happy songs of celebration.

There will be a variety of foods representing all the nations of the world, steak, butter chicken, ham, fish of all kinds prepared by the best chefs will be served.

Dessert will range from Ice cream of all flavors to cakes, pies, laddu, halwa, ras gulla and other delectable items will be served.

At the end of the day all the citizens will be given enough money for one week to do whatever they want.

This is what I think will make everyone happy.

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.

Writing Prompt: Stranded

You’re stranded in a foreign city for a day with no money no friends,Where do you go; What do you do?

If I am stranded in a foreign city with no money and no friends for a day,here is what I plan to do, first I’ll walk around the city,it doesn’t cost anything to walk,I’d find someone who speaks my language,if there is no one, I’d continue walking and find some sort of eatery or restaurant, walk in confidently and look for the owner.

When I find him/her I’ll start a conversation, inform him/her where I come from , give a detailed description of the place, the people and what they do for their living, I will talk about everything that makes my home attractive,I’ll drag on with the conversation until it’s lunch time, when his maid calls him for lunch, I’d inquire what sort of food they eat, their favorite food, how they cook it,by this time I am hoping the owner will get interested to hear about foods I like, suddenly the man is interrupted again to have lunch, since I am there he’d feel uncomfortable eating alone, to be polite he’ll invite me for lunch, after lunch I’d thank him and will tell him about some of the delicious food I can cook.

The owner will show interest and will ask me if I could cook some of the foods I talked about. I’d agree to cook and ask him to get the ingredients for me. I’d spend most of the day cooking.

Out of courtesy the man’s wife will invite me for dinner,after dinner, the owner will surely ask the name of my hotel,so he could drop me off. This is when I’d open up about my bad luck. I’d tell him I’ve lost everything, I don’t have money or friends, so I’d have to spend the night sleeping under a tree. I am hoping I’ll be invited to be their guest for the night.
