Short Snippets

Not too long ago,I started  collecting short snippets  and anecdotes from my favourite magazines which were filled with all kinds of interesting content..The most appealing topics  once read were  high lighted,So I may read them again when I get some quiet moments to myself. These ,however after a lapse of time got out of sight, until I chanced to stumble upon them quite by  accident. Sorting out some of my childrens’  previous class  work sheets, I happened to lay my hands again  on  some of these snippets which were hidden amid the clutter...

Time And Tide Wait For None

This morning there was an electrical shortage in the computer and it  was immediately sent to the  technician to have it fixed. Actually I didn’t know what to do, to while away ,till  it was being  done. With the children gone to school, the house was  very quiet. That’s when I began to hear a different kind of ‘noise pollution’.The pigeons coo, coming from atop the  TV antenna and the angry mews of the hungry cats ,which was imminent from the trash can. In fact I also actually  heard the sound of the wind sweeping across this chilly morning. It was  always a figment of my imagination to envisage  the wind to whisper softly  and sweetly as it passed by, but this was nothing like that. This was something like a howl, a scolding perhaps by mother nature for not appreciating the beautiful morning. On the whole this temporary halt from my computer time, made me become conscious and enjoy the mornings’ glory, which  otherwise would have completely gone to  waste.
