DP Daily Prompts: Reader’s Block
What’s the longest you’ve ever gone without reading a book(since learning how to read, of course)? which book was it that helped the dry spell?
The longest I’ve gone without reading a book was about a week. I looked around one day to read one.I noticed a book my daughter gave me, I picked it up but the title did not make me curious.
I started reading to my surprise I got more and more interested, and ended up reading it twice. it is a memoir of Saroo from India. He did a very good job, he came from a very poor family,was lost and ended up in an orphanage at age five.
He was adopted by an Australian couple.They took him to Australia raised him. After twenty-five years he was reunited with his original family in India.
It is an unbelievable story of a little boy who kept reminding himself of his mother and siblings.

She let go of her baby from her arms to Mrs.Locke’s, wondering if she was doing the right thing, the sudden cry of the baby, unnerved her, she turned around and walked towards the door, praying everything will work out.
Before leaving the yard she went to the door to see, there was her baby quietly sitting on the chair, coloring.
While at home she counted the hours, when she’d walk back to bring her little one home.
To her surprise her baby was playing with her newly made friends, she felt a tear rolling down her cheek, her baby wasn’t waiting to pick her up, she was secure with Mrs. Locke!

DP Daily Prompt: Take That Rosetta!
If I woke up tomorrow and be fluent in any language it would be Spanish. I did a course in Spanish, I wasn’t able to practice it because I didn’t know anyone who could help. I have lost most of it, but am sure if I get a chance I might be able to regain what I lost.
The first thing I’d do is visit Spain ,there will be lots to see,I won’t have to depend on anyone, there’ll be no language barrier. I can apply my linguistic skills with a friend of ours,he is a Peruvian. I want to surprise him.
I’d be able to travel in Spanish speaking countries. Although it is only make-believe I’m already excited with what I can do with it. This was my kind of prompt, thank you.

tagore song tumi je shurer agun you have touched the fire of music by Tagore translated and post by ranu
You have touched the fire of music
in my heart.
This fire is spread everywhere.
It is dancing between those
dead tree branches.
Who is it pointing to in the sky.
In the dark the stars are watching
with surprise.
From where is the crazy
wind blowing?
At midnight a flower
blossomed
O it is a gold waterlily.
Who knows how much
power the fire has!
DP Daily Prompt: History Of language ( The third time’s a charm)post by Ranu
There was a poor farmer.He lived alone in a hut made of mud.He was alone,he had to cook for himself. He did not earn enough to hire a maid. He went to the market daily to buy fish.It was cheaper than meat or chicken.It also took minimum time to cook.He had one bad habit .He left his house everyday to play the game of cards.He made sure the food was cooked before he went to see his buddies.
One day as usual he cooked his meal and went to play with his friends.When he returned he had an eerie feeling something was not right.He immediately checked his food.Sure enough it was gone ,he had no fish that evening.He had to be contented with boiled rice. Next day he went as usual to play,when he came back ,same thing happened, the fish was missing. He was furious and decided to stay back to find the thief. To his surprise ,he saw a tabby coming in ever so slowly.He was silent, as soon as the cat went for the fish, he caught it. He said out loud,”So you are the thief,who was eating my fish,I will kill you this second”. The way the cat looked at him softened his heart, he gave up the idea of killing it and let it go. Then he said,”I know why they say third time’s the lucky charm.” I found the thief,when it came the third day and caught it.
