  • The first things that I do is say praises to Jesus for the good things.

    You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?
    View all responses

    Whenever I receive good news, the first thing I do is shout out praises to the Lord and express a heartfelt “Thank you, Jesus.” Following that, I immediately call my mom to share the news with her. I find immense joy in sharing such moments with my parents and siblings. As for others, I tend to share the news more gradually, perhaps later in the week.

    I don’t have grand plans such as hosting celebrations, treating myself to good food, or indulging in pampering sessions. I prefer to keep the joy within myself and my family before gradually sharing it with others. I’m not inclined to proclaim my achievements or share details with everyone.

  • Childhood ICE WATER game

    Daily writing prompt
    Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?
    View all responses

    There are many things I enjoyed in my childhood that I no longer enjoy now. In the past, for some weird reason, I really enjoyed climbing trees and sitting on top of them. I also loved playing and running around with friends, chasing each other, and playing ‘Ice Water.’ However, this interest has gradually faded over the years, and I no longer enjoy or am interested in running and playing the same games. Maybe over the years, I have gained so much weight that I do not want to run, or maybe I am just too lazy to run. Nevertheless, these are things that I have completely lost interest in

  • My all time favorite candy

    What’s your favorite candy?
    View all responses

    To be blunt, I rarely have favorites of anything as my preferences change over time. When it comes to candy, I don’t have a specific favorite as I’m not particularly fond of it. However, if I recall correctly, during my childhood, I used to like the orange candy that cost 50 paise per piece. I enjoyed the smell and flavors, and it was shaped like a piece of an orange. That was one of my long-time favorite candies.

    As for now, I’m not fond of any specific candy. If I were to pick one for myself, I might choose Imli or lemon-flavored candy.

  • Take break and rejuvenate but never give up

    Daily writing prompt
    Do you need a break? From what?
    View all responses

    Everyone needs a break, especially those working in the corporate sector or professionals who have been busy balancing life. We all require time to step away and travel or engage in activities for recuperation, just to rejuvenate and refresh our minds. I recently took a break from the world, giving myself time to rejuvenate and come back to life. I’m glad I made that decision, considering it wasn’t an easy one, being a person responsible for the family.

    I take pride in the decision I made, and I would strongly recommend that everyone takes time for themselves occasionally, ensuring they aren’t overwhelmed by the demands of work. At some point, we all feel exhausted and contemplate giving up. Here, I suggest not giving up but taking a break – travel somewhere, sleep in, or do something extraordinary to distance yourself from the workload.

So, this is one of the most important inventions in my lifetime.

    The most ideal day, unfortunately, remains a privilege I have yet to experience. Nevertheless, I envision my ideal day as one filled with laughter, good food, and the presence of my loved ones, enjoying each other’s company. It’s a day where we embark on travels to new places, away from the distractions of social media, fully immersed in the joy of our shared moments.

    In this ideal day, love and joy prevail, making every moment spent together special. It’s a day where we share stories and create memories, appreciating the unfolding tapestry of life. This, in my vision, would truly be the best day of my life.

    Life is a lesson that I can learn each day. I am glad to learn from each passing moment and become wiser every day. Life, for me, has had many ups and downs, with toils and sorrows pushing me to the brink of giving up. I do not know how I can get through these, but by the grace of God and His mighty benevolence, I am holding on and thriving in His presence. It’s neither shallow nor deep; I am blessed to be surrounded by good people wherever I go.

  • Spicy fried chicken

    Daily writing prompt
    What’s your favorite thing to cook?
    View all responses

    One of my favorite dishes to cook is spicy fried chicken with local chili powder and salt. Occasionally, I enhance the taste with garlic and ginger paste. Here’s how I usually prepare it:

    1. Begin by boiling the chicken for about half an hour with a dash of salt and some herbs like basil, spring onion leaves, and chives roots.
    2. After boiling, separate the fleshy and bony parts. The fleshy parts can be set aside for further cooking.
    3. For the bony parts, add a bit more salt to taste and continue cooking. Alternatively, you can fry them together with the flesh. However, I prefer boiling to create a flavorful gravy that I can enjoy.
    4. Now, for the remaining fleshy part, heat and fry it with chili flakes and garlic-ginger paste. You can opt to fry it with just salt and chili as well.

    This simple recipe allows for variations in the level of spiciness and the use of herbs for added flavor. Enjoy your spicy fried chicken!

  • DELL gave me the first impression into computer world.

    Daily writing prompt
    Write about your first computer.

    The first computer I ever received was in the year 2015. It was a DELL, a generous gift from my sponsor who provided it from his old collection. I acquired it for my studies, particularly for report writing and other essential course-related work, as I pursued BSW.

    Before that, I had not attended any computer coaching, and my experience with computers was limited to sporadic classes during my school days. I had basic knowledge, knowing how to switch on the computer and do some basic Photoshop as per our school curriculum. Nevertheless, I was extremely excited about having my own computer and delved into the world of computing on my own.

    I must admit that I faced challenges in the initial phase, particularly with typing. However, I overcame this hurdle after one of my teachers recommended playing typing games to enhance my speed. Gradually, my typing skills improved, and my enthusiasm to learn and explore computers allowed me to quickly grasp various programs. Although I am not as proficient as professionals, I can manage fairly well.
