My Experiments With Fiction - 1.Tug-a-war

Hello readers

How are you today, well I am dandy, good weather here in Bangalore to be frank very pleasant, Nature is still kind to all Bangaloreans, considering the damage we are doing to flora and fauna, with all the rapid urbanisation and infinite real estate projects!

What is a force, we all know what it is, according to Sir Isaac Newton it is mass multiplied with acceleration? Famously known as F=MA.

There are many forces present in this world, well naming them or explaining them isn't the point of discussion.

I wanted just to raise some questions today and would like to wear your thinking caps and analyse my thoughts.

Let us consider this fictional example, there is this famous fun game going on this stadium called earth located in the milky way galaxy, and the name of this game is called Tug-a-war well, for the people who don’t know about it, it is nothing but a thick and long rope which is given to the participants who are divided into teams asked to stand facing each and the tug-a-war the team which will be able to overpower the latter is the winner.

So in this game of Tug-a-war, on one side we have nature with all the five forces and all the additional physical forces available on this universe, on the other hand, we have all the materials created by us the humans and all the world population of humans considering that no one envies anyone.

So what do you think, whom do you think will win this game? Well, let me give you some highlights about what happened, in the first half it seemed to be the team humans who were pulling it their way with their tricks, like using all their modern gadgets to gain more and more strength.

But the second half just turned the tables with the team nature just draining all the opponents' team strength by using a simple strategy.

Do you know what their strategy was?

Mr Wind, who is part of the 5 forces just realised if there is no air, how can these humans breath, so he stopped creating atmosphere! Mr fire decided just to burn all the bulldozers and the cranes used by the humans.

So team nature is a winner!

Dear friends this story which I created, is one of my experiments on writing fiction stories which I have started as working on recently, but by knowing you would have got the message which I tried to crimp in the above story.

We are playing an oblivious game to be precise, and thinking we will survive the mishaps and disasters we are creating each day and trying to crumble nature and natural resources and the environment we are living.

Beware the tug-a-war game was won even before it began! Yes, we all are living today because of nature’s mercy on us, imagine if the molecular structure of water changes! We are history.

Our tasks are given, we are but instruments; nothing is all our own that we create.

Please try with maximum effort to save whatever is left, let us be grateful to this whole system for sustaining us.

Thanks for your time.

Frown City

Hello readers

Hope you all are doing well

Spend more time smiling than frowning and more praising than critizing

-Richard Branson

There is this one story which I want to recollect, it is one of my childhood stories , which was narrated by my teacher it is called the “Frown Town”.

Of course this was fairy tale, but still it gave me some valuable lessons which I follow even now.

Let me tell you that story:

There was this land so far away from the city that hardly anyone knew it did exist.

Until one day one of the men came to the city and requested help from a doctor that, one of among his group was  bitten by a snake and the victim was a small lad of about 10 years of age, the doctor with all his concern followed the man into their tiny township where everyone greeted him and bowed to him, as in those days doctors were considered as messengers of God who were sent by the almighty himself.

Well the doctor saw this boy who was already half blue from his feet, and immediately instructed the people to shift him to a hospital in the city.

The people followed the doctor’s advice and the kid was saved after a team of special doctors attended to the case and successfully could bring out all the venom from the Boy’s body.

The people of Frown town were overwhelmed by the gratitude and care the doctor took to help save their kid.

From then on the people of the small distant town had developed gratitude towards the doctor and his team and they used to travel to the city and give all the doctors their agro produce and handicrafts .

But the doctor had always one question to the mayor of the city but feared asking him.

And that was the facial expression of that town was always ‘Frown’ and the name too.

But the clinician feared asking about it, as he feared he may lose his good will with the town.

Time passed, and the season of harvest was just round the corner and the boy whom the medics had saved informed all the heads of his tiny town to call all the doctors as mark of gratitude, everyone readily agreed and called them.

It was a great feast at the end, the village head man asked the guests if  they wanted know anything from the village, like the history of the place or anything for that matter.

All the doctors looked at each other and were thinking the same, to ask them the question about the name of the town and why they frowned all the time.

Finally against all odds one of the medics made up his mind and asked the host that question.

The moment this was asked there was great silence in the remote land, and everyone started glaring at the doctors, then they looked too sad and they told them this was a spell cast by one of their fore-fathers, when the whole town was bursting with laughter at senior man who had fallen in muddy waters.

Since he was witch doctor he called the forces and casted a spell which made all of us to forget how to laugh!

But the doctors told them not to believe in such things and try to laugh, but the villagers told him that if they try to laugh they would be bitten by serpents, that was how the young boy was caught explained the boy’s mother.

But the doctors were still not convinced and did not believe that something like this could happen.

So they advised the village head-man to perform a simple test which will prove that the spell is not working, since the village head man was a responsible person, he agreed to try it on only himself.

So the test was simple: the subject would be confined to a room where there will be protected vents only for air and he should try to laugh there.

So mayor of the village was taken to the hospital’s secured ward where they used to treat sensitive patients and was asked to laugh.

After few minutes, he came out shouting miracle, miracle! I could laugh, and he spread the message to his village and the whole village tried the same exercise.

Finally they were convinced the spell was over and they laughed their hearts out.

When they asked the doctor how did he erase the spell the doctor replied: “My dear people all the spells or the curses are in your mind, what you believe is actioned by your mind without you knowing it what I did was purely logical to make you come out of your false belief and in the case of that boy who was bitten by the snake in the grass it was sheer co-incidence.”

So the moral I took from the above story is that, we can believe in good things and always have hope and smile instead of frown, which will not get us anywhere.

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

-Abraham Lincoln

Stop being a grouch to yourself and the people around you, Let us smile from today and feel light, and help others also to smile.

Thanks for your time have a nice day.
