Daily Prompts: Pride and Joy

What’s your most prized possession?

Material possessions I probably have more than enough.Whenever something catches my fancy, I tend to buy it if it is affordable. I cannot consider any of these things as my prized possession.

I think of friends, family, acquaintances, they are nice to have but I’m not sure they are my prized possession.

My most prized possession is good health. If I didn’t have good health, family, friends or acquaintances will shy away from me. I do not blame them.

Human nature is complex it’s not easy to interact with someone who is ill. Yes we all have compassion but when we witness it for a considerable length of time. The compassion turns to boredom, we start distancing ourselves with someone who is not well.

A healthy body and mind is the most prized possession for me, everything else is secondary!

DP Daily Prompt:Because the Night

Are you a night owl or are you the early bird? What’s your most productive time of day? When do you do your best work?

 

Whenever I think of night owl I am reminded of that terrible night I stayed up till 1:30 am to study for a final exam. It was my room mate’s fault who reminded me my classmates study till two in the morning, I should do the same. I listened to her, when I went to the exam hall I forgot everything. Fate was on my side I recovered and was able to write my exam and passed the course.

I’m not a night person I cannot function after 10:30 pm. I dislike going to parties where they serve dinner at 10:00 pm., sometimes 11:00 pm which I think is ridiculous. For me night means sleep. There are people who work better at night, I’m not one of those.

I like to wake up bright and early. I get all my work done, I perform better too. I follow the phrase,”Early to bed early to rise makes a man/woman healthy wealthy and wise”. I do my best work during the day.

Writing Prompt: A Plot Of Earth

You’re given a plot of land and have the financial resources to do what you please. What’s the plan.

First of all thank you to whoever has given me the plot of land and the financial resources to do what I please. It is a swell idea. I’ll get to work immediately so that whoever has given this land does not change his/her mind.

Here is my plan. I will divide it into parts,1. for housing; 2. for a school; 3. for a small hospital;5. for a playground; 6. a super market; 7. A Drug store;  8.  farming ;9. a business center.

This place will be called :

Marghdeen: I got this idea from Allama Iqbal a renowned poet and philosopher, who spent his life thinking of a place which will be free from poverty, corrupt government, wicked landlords, thieves and beggars.

Farmers would take care of their land and will not share the produce with landlords, they’ll be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor without worrying about wicked landlords.

The residents will be able to own their home.

The school will be built to teach important subjects that will be beneficial to keep up with worldly affairs. No one will be left out.

The hospital would be built for the sick and also proper lessons will be given on how to live a healthy life.

A playground will be an important place to run around and play games.

A supermarket would have meat,fish,poultry and vegetables and grains and everything from tea coffee etc.  for the consumers.

A drug store will provide medication and other things.

A business center will provide knowledge to anyone who needs to know how to carry out their daily business.

Thieves and beggars will not be seen here,because the citizens will be self sufficient.

What it means to be fit

I pay a lot of attention to stay fit.  It keeps me healthy. My clothes don’t get small for me because I have gained weight.

I want to look good. I won’t have to go to the family physician, more frequently because of my negligence.  I want to feel well. I can only accomplish it if take care of myself.

DP Daily Prompt: Might As Well Jump Post by Ranu

The biggest risk I’d like to take is enroll  in the P.hd program. I could not before,there was the financial situation,the age of the children and a not so healthy husband. Now that all these things are not a hindrance,I have lost my focus.

I don’t really know what has to happen to take the risk. Perhaps nothing. Then again if some well-known Sufi, such as Jalal-din Rumi,shows up in my dream and advises me to do so. I will gladly “JUMP” ,but that will never happen.Therefore I’ll never register in the course.
