Winner

My grandmother teaching her first grandchild (me) harmonium
Winners can never become losers. Nobody deserves to be called as a "loser". Everybody is a "winner" in their lives, in one way or the other.

The people who call others as "losers" say that with only one intention and that is to bring down others confidence. So, it is very important for everybody not to pay attention to such absurd sayings. These people who call others as "losers" can only be termed as cowards.

Winners are the people who do their duty assigned to them as human beings (Karma). A winner is an achiever of goals set ahead of him/her without harming or hurting anybody else. I have become a winner even though some people called me a loser (Mainly because I'm not stinking rich!)

I felt like a winner when my paintings were appreciated by a celebrity, when I completed my graduation and post graduation, when I took care of my grandmother in her last stages ( I was 10 yrs old), when I showed atleast one trophy to my grandfather every year till his death in 2004, when my mom bought me a walkman with her first salary and so many more....I've been a winner throughout!!

    You are so right Jahnavi, everybody is a winner if you think about it your way. In 77 years I have had many such moments but one that stands out, for some reason, is the day I passed my driving test.

    We do follow the zodiac, sort of, in this part of the world. An Australian friend drew up a chart for me a couple of years ago.

She - A woman

Image source: http://lilliemcferrin.com/five-sentence-fiction-isolated/ She began a new life with a family in the name of marriage. 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 .

Vintage letters

Vintage letters are treasures for me. The art of writing letters was in practise since 300 A.D. After 16th century writing letters became an art. Letters were not just used for communication but it became an art also. The design of the letter took a uniform design when the British came to India and started ruling over. Even to this day in some villages of India, the post man or the teachers of the school should open the letter and read it. Today,some vintage letters are preserved in the families, in the Government offices, Parliaments and the collectors who fancy collecting vintage letters. I have preserved letters from Great grandfather and my GrandFather.  I feel that these vintage letters are some sort of treasure that I have. Funniest part is, it takes a long time to come to the matter itself because the starting two- three sentences is to be polite enquiries and whereabouts of each other and ending the letter used to be with elegant words. I will post some pictures of the ...
