Prostitution
A beautiful post I found on FB
"I wont pay a penny more than 200 rupess"
Sahib said. I looked at him seductively biting my lips."Make it 300 sahib,I promise you won't regret it." "I'll pay u 250 and that is final. You will have to make my night worth or I won't pay you a single penny." "I had no customers that day and I had no option but to agree. "Okay Sahib, as u say. Give me the money and I"ll make preparations for everything."

I am a prostitute by profession and a proud one at that. My name is Priti but people here call me "Chikni". It's like a pen name you writerguys have. My parents wanted me to become a doctor. But I have always wanted to be a lawyer. Things became bad when my dad lost his job as a security guard when the mall closed down. I had to discontinue my studies because I was expected to take care of the house,my parents, and my younger brother.
I remember how my mother forced me to sleep with my neighbour for a 100 rupees. I was 15 yrs old den. I felt dirty and used. But I had a hearty meal after days. I couldn't sleep that day. I kept wondering what is worse : people's self-imposed morals or sacrificing yourself on the altar of your self-imposed morals . Hell, I don't think I did anything wrong. I would rather be called a prostitute than go hungry for days because somebody else thinks its morally wrong.
"Here's your money." Sahib threw the notes on my face. "Thank You Sahib." I bowed . I couldn't stop thinking what I'd do with those notes. I had to buy rice and vegetables. I was going to buy a few onions too. It'd been ages since I had onions. I wanted to buy an ice cream too. So much to do, so little to spend, I smiled.
In life, I've realized , morals are like neighbours. We are all fine with them, until they threaten to invade our life to totally ruin it. I could see the glee on my brother's face when I gave him the ice cream. Your morals don't make me happy, my lack of it does.
The sky is the limit
A discontented sojourner: now free,
Free as a bird to settle where I will.
What dwelling shall receive me? in what vale
Shall be my harbour? underneath what grove
Shall I take up my home? and what clear stream
Shall with its murmur lull me into rest?
The earth is all before me. With a heart
Joyous, nor scared at its own liberty,
I look about; and should the chosen guide
Be nothing better than a wandering cloud,
I cannot miss my way. I breathe again!.....(William Wordsworth)

Men at work
Yesterday we had heavy rainfall. As the raindrops brought down the temperature to a pleasing cool throughout the city, many places had power cuts because of trees and poles falling and such other mishaps and my neighborhood was no exception to it. But as we woke up to a beautiful morning with cloudy sky and cool breeze, it didn't matter much if the power was gone - At least for me. But electricity is a necessity in modern life and no one is an exception to it. Soon the men from electricity department where all around in the vicinity and were fixing up stuffs. As I opened the window facing the road i caught a glimpse of this guy fixing a damaged electricity pole. The guy was obviously fearless and doing his job with competence and confidence, I have no doubt about that, but a closer look at him made me wonder about his safety. Was he bothered or does anybody bother??
Bitter Gourd - Not that Bitter
Bitter gourd is rich in various vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber.
It is believed that bitter melon's health benefits are due to its active ingredients - momordicins, cucurbitacin B, and glycosides (such as momordin, charantin, charantosides, goyaglycosides, momordicosides).
If children are introduced to the taste of bitter gourd from a young age, they get used to the taste gradually and get accustomed to food preparations using bitter gourd.
NUTRITIONAL VALUES OF BITTER GOURD:
100 grams of bitter gourd comprises of the following nutrients:
Puri sabji and jalebi
Got up today morning and felt like going for something more oily - cholesterol and trans-fat rich fried stuff . It is one of those days when the motivation to keep yourself on a healthy diet ultimately gives way to the pleasures of tongue. Finally I made up my mind and went down to the shop and helped myself with a hearty serving of deep fried puris with sabji (read alu) and finished by satisfying my sweet tooth with jalebis....
