Daily Prompt: Climate Control

The idea that the weather and people’s moods are connected is quite old. Do You agree? If yes how does the weather affect your mood?

I do agree the weather and the people’s moods are connected. On a bright sunny day , I see happy faces, the people move around and greet each other. The first thing  they’d say to their  friends or strangers is, “The weather is lovely , isn’t it!”

Weather always affects my mood, it ruins my enthusiasm to do anything, when it is raining or there is a blizzard. I’m always grumpy, I think I could have gone out if it was not raining or snowing. Actually I don’t always go out. It’s an excuse for me to stay home. I’d complain, ” see I cannot go out because of this terrible weather.

It’s my human characteristic, I blame the weather, but I refuse to say, “I’m lazy to go out.”

But I cannot let the weather off the hook either, continuous rain or snow makes me irritable, I dislike looking out the window when there is a snowstorm. The thought of huge piles of snow makes me worried, how will I clear the snow off the driveway, is  my  major concern. Then when the snow turns to ice,I’m terrified of going out because if I fall I’d break my leg or hurt my back. These thoughts take away my patience!

DP Daily Prompt: Frame of Mind

If you could paint your current mood onto a canvass, what would that painting look like? What would it depict?

My current mood  what I’ll call is “Fuzzy”, on a canvass right now the painting will not please anyone’s eyes, if it was for sale,  the would be customers are more than likely going to  stay away and view other paintings.

My mood is all over the place, I turned on the computer, barely five minutes passed and there was a skeleton in front of me,informing me the internet connection has checked out.

What will I do I was thinking then it occurred to me my daughter’s instruction was to go upstairs in her room, disconnect the modem and count fifteen times the word “Mississippi”, I went up sat on her bed did as I was told.

Now I am in my room,I turned on the computer, right now it’s working, how long I can’t tell. Do I want to see that skeleton, you can bet I don’t, do I have a choice, obviously no?

I am writing and thinking am I lucky enough to get this done, it depends if the stars are aligned as they should?

The painting is not going to be worthy enough to be displayed in an exhibition, it will show a sad,unhappy,irritable person on the canvass, when these things are assimilated into one it’ll look absolutely hideous!

DP Daily Prompt: Climate Control

 

The idea that the weather and the people’s moods is connected is quite old.Do you agree? If yes, how does the weather affect your mood?

I agree the weather is connected with people’s moods. The past winter is proof of that, I remember when the snow started in December I thought, good it will end in February and we’d have a gorgeous spring and summer.

My calculation was wrong, the snow continued to fall beyond February,the days were too cold, the thought of snow and clearing it was a nightmare, then the town plow would show up like a giant monster blocking our driveway which we just finished clearing. When this happens everyday, it is impossible to be in a  good mood. 

I know weather is responsible for our moods,good or bad!

Writing Prompt: Seconds

I always loved spicy food. Once our whole family were invited to dinner to my parents friend’s house.  The lady whom we addressed as auntie was a very good cook. I was excited, I knew she makes everything tasty, we were looking forward to this dinner. When we got there our aunt told us her daughter-in-law cooked the meal. I was somewhat disappointed to know she was not the cook. Anyhow I was anxious to find out if she was as good as her mother-in-law or better.

Dinner was served, the main item was  “Seekh Kebab”( seekh is an Urdu word which means, skewer). The aroma of these kebabs were out of this world. Talk about spicy the lady was not skimpy as far as the spices were concerned. She was very generous with the most important spice ,cayenne powder.

Seekh Kebab is a dish where spices are important,too much or too little ruins the taste. Our hostess was a seasoned Chef , the kebab’s were so tasty, I still remember the taste after such a long time. They were served with Parathas( flat bread made with white flour and pan fried in ghee( clarified butter).

All we were interested in was the above two items. I cannot remember what else was there. We talked about this meal for days. We were invited again to have this meal,it wasn’t the same something was missing, maybe it was missing the love or our hostess wasn’t in a good mood.
