At school

Parents take their three year old kid for admission in a reputed school.They wait in the long queue,fill up the registration form and submit it.The form gets rejected."In nursery,we take admission of the kids born till 30^th Sep.Your child’s birthdate is 1^st of October. Sorry, Can't help..*conditions apply*!"

He refused to work on Sunday .The manager took out an agreement from the drawer and read clause no. 24.``We’ll decide your job as per your training,but that would be only if you keep working as per our policies. If there is a project,you’ll have to work on Sundays too!”You’re fired!

                                             **************

At Hospital

 Oh! It’s an emergency case. We need blood for him. Please arrange atleast 6 bottles of  A- blood group. Though we have it in our blood bank,we won’t be able to give it unless you get a donor. It is a very rare group and we need to keep it in store for emergencies.

At Airport

They had to reach 40 minutes before the departure of the flight.Besides heavy traffic,they were almost on time and got the baggage checked."You are two minutes late,Sir.The counter is closed.We'll return your baggage!"said the girl sitting behind the desk.It's clearly mentioned on the tickets,here..*conditions apply*!"

                                             **************

In Relations

Ever heard yourself say,

"If you do this for me,I’ll do that for you."

"If you can’t do this,I can’t do that."

Just to make it your way?

Bright colours sometimes fade

In this and that..

Now rarely,we find

Some relations true

Though detached 

yet connected 

*Conditions apply*

In some relationships too!

I'd do things differently..

She was introduced to her new family.She smiled and tried to settle. No one beside her to share a smile or a single tear.Tapping her fingers,she hummed an old song.

"Alas!Life won't give me another chance.If it does,I’d do things differently!"

The story of the ashes,traded with the wind to the far off land.

Perhaps,heart missed a beat, in eternal wait.

Seemingly alienated,on a rainy day,sitting on a wooden chair,gazing at the sky, from the window of her room in that old age home,that day she painted a rainbow.

Had I looked back..

"Had I looked back,long enough,they would have taught me."

With an intent to learn,he met them.

Love: I accept you as you are. In my light you will never fail. I won’t let you fall. 
              

Fear: I hurt you and you burn! Beware! I’m powerful, I can control! I hide in places you love the most.  

Courage :I help you to face the darkness and overcome it. With me nothing is impossible.

Faith: I bring hope to life and peace to soul. Walk by me, God will help you! 

He knew,"Men don't cry", but he cried.

Thank You..(An acrostic)

Thankful for the little push,when life comes to stop.
Hoping for the best,as all the burdens drop.

Accepting each moment,with grace as life unfolds 
Never losing courage,when fright takes its’ hold. 
Keys to unlock the treasures,in heart waltz around, 
Yet another moment arrives,in which selfless love abounds. 
Oft I thank God for the smiles,that make me feel alive 
Unknown blessings in the moment,gives strength to survive.

P.S. Dog flowers "Antirrhinum" from our garden..As kids we used to enjoy creating the "dragon mouth", as individual flower has a mouth that opens like a puppet when pressed at the sides,and then it snaps shut.It was fun then. Refreshing lovely childhood memories,
for Thursday challenge "attractive"..
