    What is something others do that sparks your admiration?
    View all responses

    I find immense joy in the enchanting melodies of those who possess exceptional singing abilities. Their musical prowess never fails to captivate me, soothing my soul with every strum of their instruments. The attraction I feel towards such individuals is akin to a bee drawn irresistibly to a flower.

    Furthermore, when it comes to sports like football, basketball, or volleyball, the prowess displayed by skilled players is simply awe-inspiring. The rush of adrenaline they evoke is undeniable, often leaving me in a state of exhilaration. Jokes aside, I acknowledge that I am a person whose satisfaction is not easily attained, making it rare for me to genuinely like or accept someone. Once I form a connection with someone, I am unwilling to let it go easily, cherishing them with my entire being.

    While I may struggle to express myself eloquently, I am keenly aware of the profound gratitude I hold for each person who has touched my life. Admittedly, I can exhibit selfish and stingy tendencies, particularly when it comes to matters of money.

    As previously mentioned, the power of a captivating voice holds a special place in my heart. Neat and well-groomed attire sparks a significant interest in me, and I appreciate the meticulous care taken in maintaining clean footwear, regardless of whether it carries a brand label.

  • Childhood Cartoon

    What’s your favorite cartoon?

    When we were young, we didn’t have a TV, so we rarely got to watch it, let alone a TV series. Even when we did watch, it was from the CD player, as the villagers didn’t have a signal to connect or a place to subscribe to channels. The one channel I remember was Tom and Jerry. We would run to our neighbors’ places to watch it and sometimes even had to contend with the elders for the channel, as they were uninterested in watching it. We were teenagers back then. I vividly remember the joy and laughter we shared with our cousins and talked about it after the show.

    Gone are the days when we’d watch over three rupees dried Mattar and 50 paise sweets. We would quarrel about eating too much and too fast, not sharing with the others. We would also trick the younger ones into eating more than them—haha. Reminiscing about it gives me nostalgia. Thanks for this daily prompt topic.

  • Procrastination?

    Daily writing prompt
    What could you do less of?

    I really need to break free from procrastination; this habit has been bothering me lately. It crept in after I had those eerie nightmares (you know what I mean?). Yes, that’s right – exactly what you’re thinking. (You may want to refer to the “A Parrot in a Cage” page.) I am trying to cultivate the habit of taking swift action for all my responsibilities so that I do not become vulnerable to it.

  • How ‘One Day at a Time’ approach keeps me going

    If you had been reading my expressions daily, you would have understood me more or less to some extent. You might have a slight understanding of how I live my life, what I do, or my way of thinking. Today, like any other day, I had an insignificant yet blessed day. As I undertake the marathon journey of better living, I seem to have stuck at one point in time where the world stops revolving around me. I have faced numerous setbacks until now. I know I am seriously not in a position to relax and take one step at a time. Nevertheless, I am slowing down my pace and am looking forward to keep going instead of quitting or never moving forward. I am blessed that I am surrounded by wonderful people every single day who make my world a hundred times brighter. The simple question of “Ma’am, how are you? Are you okay?” makes my heart melt. If only I were in a better position, I would have no hesitation to stay longer.

  • Wildlife

    Daily writing prompt
    Do you ever see wild animals?
    View all responses

    I have encountered wild animals such as deer, wild boars, civet cats, and flying squirrels during my childhood. In those days, hunting was permitted in my village, and my father, being a skilled sharpshooter, would hunt frequently. The animals were either for our family’s consumption or for commercial purposes, serving as the primary source of income for him at the time.

    However, hunting is now prohibited in the village, and owning guns without a license is illegal. Consequently, most people no longer own guns or engage in hunting. IN the past, even if they do, there is a conscious effort to preserve the wildlife. They ensure not to hunt pregnant animals or during breeding seasons, leaving behind some animals to allow for reproduction. This practice reflects a positive aspect of their approach to hunting. (It’s not encouraged to hunt even during the non breeding season now)

    Despite these efforts, the population of animals in the forest has significantly decreased compared to the past. I used to hear the sounds of deer near my house and monkeys hooting in the vicinity, but these sounds have become rare now. It is commendable that my fellow villagers decided to cease hunting, contributing to the conservation and increase in the animal population.

    It’s better late than never to implement such measures, as once the animals disappear completely, there’s no way to bring them back.
