Once upon a time

"Once upon a time there was a dence forest.There lived a beautiful girl." the story goes on like this. The phrase "once upon a time" is losing its charm and people are using it occassionally.
The elders are not using these words to remember their younger days nor the kids enjoying the stories told in the same old way.
This shows the evolution of language which is rapidly changing in the last ten years. What was theoretical has become practical. There must be some more or many more phrases which are fading away in the usage of language.

    It's how language evolves, Jahnavi. For example, there are lots of expressions my parents used that I would never use today.

      Certainly. Not only words even the way they spoke the language has changed.

    That's interesting. I think if a story starts with 'once upon a time' we automatically think it isn't true.

A family where women were considered men if they had given birth to a male child. She received the portent and tried to impress them but, the only way to impress them was to starve and become lame. "I was not born for this" she thought. She was isolated for the rest of her life for she was a woman. Jahnavi.K.J written for Lillie McFerrin's five sentence fiction .

Zodiac signs

Zodiac signs' dictionary meaning is: "an imaginary area of the sky containing the positions of the sun, the moon and the main planets, divided into 12 equal parts, named after 12 groups of stars. It is interesting to see how these stars effect the life of each individual living on Earth. This study of stars is an ancient science which rises curiosity in everyone. The study depends on the date of birth of the individual in the western countries and on the birth star in the Hindu astrology. The zodiac signs plays a vital role in match making and other aspects in Indian arranged marriage. Some people have strong beliefs in the forecast of these zodiac signs. However I do not believe in the predictions of the zodiac signs :) Jahnavi Participating in A to Z challenge
