Extreme Weather

The extreme weather has brought heavy rains and snowfall. The copious amounts of water collected in low-laying ares has immersed the roads and parkways. In some areas there has been snow, which never used to get any and some parts of the planet are experiencing temperatures which are unprecedented. We have to take all this unusual weather patterns into serious account now and take action to prevent further deterioration to earth’s atmosphere.

But who is to instigate these changes? Who will be taking the lead? On individual basis we all can do our bit. But we do need the governments of leading countries, which have high carbon emissions rates to take some constructive decisions. Are we willing to cut back on our usage of fossil fuels?

Laboratory

“Come on over, I am taking you all to show you my new hi-tech laboratory” The voice of the speaker was filled with pride. The pride was justified as it was a piece of noble architecture. All beautiful angles and arches. The interior was even more impressive. A great display of top of the range equipment adorned the laboratory shelves and tables.

” What is your area of interest?”one of the visitors asked.

” I am working on a number of projects here. But my most favored project is researching the cure for a type of disease which has been discovered recently “

“Which disease is that?” Asked the same person.

“I am researching the cure for loss sensible and reasonable thinking process by otherwise sane adults, under the influence of social media” In fact it is magnified to such an extent that they start behaving like imbeciles.

All the visitors were lost for words. One of them took out his phone and updated his Facebook status.

Nightmare or dreams

I dream of the grand halls, gleaming marble

Being welcomed warmly by the hosts like royalty

A smile plastered on my face, hiding the fears

Of failure and tripping up in my way to the dias

I come up and face all those waiting for me there

Am I the representative of the masses gathered

Or am I the one responsible of the running of the

Affairs of this grandiose setup, the one in charge

This thought is enough to jerk me out of that very

Uncomfortable and uncharacteristic dream at once

The burdens of this liability can wreck your peace

So dreaming of power and grandeur are not for me

Dreams which are a derivative of a desire to fix

The issues which we face today or a wish to be rid of them

The unexpected happening

Jane was sitting and working on her laptop in a street side bistro. A slight cough intruded on her concentration. As she turned around, a man was standing behind her. Jane gave him a curious look. Something seemed strange about him. “May I help you?” She asked. “I am the representative of a pet food company, I was wondering if you would like to try our brand of pet food for your dog?”The man explained and tried to give a can of dog food to her. “But, I don’t have a dog or any pet for that matter” Jane clarified. “So this dog isn’t yours” He asked. “Which dog?” “This cute little guy sitting near you” replied the man.

Jane looked around, she didn’t see any dog, cute or otherwise near them. She began to think that this man was playing a practical joke on her. She forced out a laugh and said ” I think you are trying to trick me into some sort of prank, there is no dog around here that I see” The man looked incredulous, ” What do you call this?” He was pointing to a spot in front of her. Jane looked down and said that there was nothing there. ” Nothing! This is nothing?” He stooped down an in an instant he had picked up a small, unique looking dog from the pavement, into his arms! The dog licked his hand with a tiny pink tongue and gave a small bark. Jane didn’t know what to believe. This man had, to her mind conjured the dog out of thin air!

Jane was amazed and bewildered at the same time. She had to believe the evidence of her own eyes and she knew that it wasn’t possible to just imagine the dog out of thin air.

Mitigating circumstances

What do you mean, it was a mixup? How can you cook this instead of the five course dinner I ordered? she demanded. The woman was besides herself with anger. There was a number of gourmet pizzas arrangement on the kitchen table, ready to be cooked and served piping hot to the guests. The chef hired for catering the party tried to explain the mitigating circumstances behind the mixup but she was so busy berating him that it was difficult to get a word in. Her tirade laced with calumny and insults was making the matters worse.

“Hey, Tracy” intervened her husband in a calming manner. “There has to be an intelligent solution to this problem. Let’s think and work out something before the guests start arriving” ” Sir, if I may” the chef tried to offer his opinion again. “Yes, go ahead” said the husband, gesturing his wife to listen to the poor guy. ” Sir if you could tell your guests that today is a theme party tonight and today’s theme is Italy, then if we serve gourmet pizza in all the different flavors of Italy, they will think it is great fun”
