  • Childhood Cartoon

    Daily writing prompt
    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.

  • Good Neighbor

    Daily writing prompt
    What makes a good neighbor?

    Well well! A good neighbor is considerate, friendly, and responsible, contributing positively to the sense of community and well-being within the neighborhood. They promote a harmonious living environment where everyone feels valued and respected. We say ‘sharing is caring,’ and that’s no nonsense; it’s true. When neighbors care for each other, we begin sharing everything – from food and stories to our time. Most importantly, we are inherently predisposed to watch out for one another.
