On The Earth.

On the Earth.

On the Earth,

Is the igloo,

Where true ice men live.

These are men and women who survive in such chilling weather,

That to think about it, makes one say “No, never, better not.”

On the Earth,

There are parakeets, mynahs, macaws, sparrows who travel around the world,

Much unknown to the human lot.

They see, they learn,

And it is God’s grace upon them which helps them to be ever going.

On the Earth,

There are games,

Such as football, cricket, basketball, hockey, chess , ludo and carrom.

Chess is linked with intelligence, ludo with luck, cricket with strength and football with fame.

On the Earth,

There are various dishes well and known,

Made by chefs,

Who are a class apart,

But out of all of these,

The food made by Ma is the best.

On The Earth,

Are false things,

Which confound the very basics of humanity.

And on Earth,

Is God,

Whom we love the most.

Adios!

Stranded In Switzerland.

aveekoiqbalneep

My friend Joshua who has been working in the States, recently came back from Addis Ababa after meeting his sister.His nephew Jeremy too is doing well and has managed to cook up a new scheme to make him come back soon.

Joshua has learnt that he can’t be a tough uncle while Jeremy is much branier and much thoughful than him.

For four weeks he has been shivering with the cold weather in the Alps and when atlast his work over there in Switzerland got over he has been asked to stay there for two more months.

If he leaves now half of his fees would be deducted by the company for whom he was doing free lancing work.

Over the phone he was nearly crying.He told me-“I can’t stand it anymore.The weather here is horrible.After a long stay in Addis Ababa due to the pandemic, I can’t stand such cold weather.”

Myself-“It’s better to be back home than stay in a place where the weather doesn’t suit you. Are you going to Addis Ababa now?”

Joshua-“I have booked a ticket for Addis Ababa.If the company pays me well enough or they can chew up their money and go to bed for new year.”

I-“Are you celebrating Christmas?”

Joshua’s voice became low-“I am missing Jeremy a lot.But please don’t tell him. Or he wouldn’t spare me. I lied to him and came here.Told him that I would come back soon but haven’t done so.I am sure that he had nearly guessed that I was lying.So Christmas has been on a low, so I am going to sissie’s home by the evening flight, so that I can celebrate a belated Christmas.”

Myself-“No, I wouldn’t.But did you buy any gifts for him?”

Joshua-“I have bought a toy car for him and if the company pays me then there would be four more toys waiting for him.Anyway I haven’t got out much over here, as the weather and the scare of the pandemic has been overwhelming for me.”

I-“The pandemic has nearly has everybody walking on their toes. Well all the best for the journey.”

And that was it.

After reaching to Ethiopia he received a mail that he was being given the full amount promised plus a thousand dollar bonus. Jeremy would be having a very happy new year for his uncle thinks that he is very lucky for him.Toys, cakes, gifts and whatnot would be bought for a delayed Christmas celebration.

Yesterday he reached Addis Ababa.

That’s all.

Joshua would be staying in Addis Ababa for atleast a month.

Adios!

A big boy aged about sixteen years was roaming around the park when he found a small boy hiding in the bush.

That boy was aged about seven and was covered in green leaves.

The big boy fumbled up when he looked at him.

The little boy was holding a half eaten carrot.

They both kept on staring at each othersfor ten minutes when the big boy spoke at last?He asked-“What is your name?”

The little boy replied-“Greenie Thing.”

“What sort of name is that?” asked the big boy.

The boy replied -“That’s my name and I am from the world of greens.”

The big boy-“What world of greens?”

The little boy-“That’s where I live.”.

The big boy-“Where do you live?”

Greenie thing smiled and pointed towards his socks.

He said-“I live in your socks.”

The big boy-“In my socks? What do you mean?”

Greenie thing-“I live in the greens in your socks. You nearly trample me everyday and today I have come to visit you, but I got scared so I was hiding in your garden and you found me out.”

The big boy-“I don’t believe you.What green in my socks?”

Greenie thing-“The green where I live.You would find my green world located in it.”

The big boy-“In my socks? How can a boy live in anybody’s socks?”

Greenie thing-“Oh! But we can! We are the greens which sustains this world.”

The big boy-“Show me the greens in my socks.”

Greenie thing-“Aha! That’s a surprise.Tonight somebody would be visiting you.”

The big boy-“Who would be visiting me?”

Greenie thing-“That’s a surprise.Ain’t it Christmas?”

Saying so Greenie thing vanished.

The big boy was looking in that place where Greenie thing had vanished, when Greenie thing reappeared and said-“Don’t forget to hang your socks tonight.”

A Railway Platform, Wish

Wish Series- A Railway Platform.

aveekoiqbalneep

A railway platform, in Swirzerland has a tea maker who gives four slices of sweet bread free with tea.

If you buy a cup of coffee you get a pie for free.

Many often ask him why these products are for free, he simply chuckles and says “My wife makes them and I bake them, have it and tell me whether it is tastes good or sour.”

The truth was, his products were excellent, but now he has decided to close his shop and go to Australia to set up his shop.

But his wife wouldn’t let him do so, thus he would be opening a bookstore soon, in a place unknown to all.

Adios!

Selling Price.

aveekoiqbalneep

The selling price of an object is the price at which a product is sold.Well it rules the world.Selling price is better known as MRP (Maximum retail price), but in most parts of the world, goods except medium to highly commercial products are sold on the retailer demand price i.e. the price which the seller wants. It is often calibrated to suit the needs of the seller (shopkeeper) leaving the customers with nothing but high prices.This is where one understands the true meaning of selling price.

Adios!
