THEME REVEAL FOR A TO Z 2022 - #BLOGCHATTER

-


April is just round the corner, that time of the year when A to Z comes around with a bang. It is time to learn the alphabets all over again in so many varied, intriguing ways.

The calendar does help to keep our dates with the dates up-to-date! Phew, that's quite a tongue twister, isn't it?


Having taken part last year and having completed the challenge successfully, it did not take much pondering to decide to participate this year as well, despite my various other activities, which include writing a new novel and running a school as well. However, it is a case of total FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Why be out of the whole exciting jamboree when one can be in the midst of the madding crowd! 

Last year, I took up the challenge of classic poetry and I had a whale of a time, going back to my years of studying Literature. It was a difficult challenge but once it was over, "I could have danced all night!" as the popular song goes. 

                             Pinterest: I Could Have Danced All Night - Audrey Hepburn

This year, I have hit upon another theme that excites me, and will hopefully excite my readers as well. It will take some doing, but I have already drawn up a kind of map that may help me as the challenge goes on.

And so I have decided to write 26 posts in April, writing every day, except on Sundays.
And finally, here goes! My theme for the A to Z Blogchatter Challenge is...

DRUM ROLLS!!! 

BE Funky Collage

Literature being my passion, I have decided to write about the most popular characters that we have all read about and loved! 

                                                                    Be Funky Collage

So, on the first of April, I will unveil my first character starting with the letter A. Here's seeing you all then!

I am participating in the #Blogchatter A to Z Challenge! Happy Reading and Writing! :)

THE STRANGE CASE OF THE MISSING TEETH

                                                                            Clipart.com I cannot forget the shocked expression on the young dentist’s face. “Where are all your teeth?” “Uhh… in my mouth, where they should be?” I mumbled, perched on the leather chair as he peered into my mouth. His eyes widened with bewilderment as he leant forward, almost falling into the gaping cavern in front of him. “Three missing here… three on the other side! Two more here and a broken tooth!” I was quite shocked out of my wits. Where had all my teeth disappeared to? I did recall a few sittings earlier where some of my wisdom had been yanked out, but eight and a half teeth? I was a walking miracle! More importantly, an ‘eating’ miracle! When my better half agonised over one painful grinder that made lif...

     CLOUDS AND WAVES Rabindranath Tagore Amazon.com Serenity in the Garden Mother, the folk who live up in the clouds call out to me - "We play from the time we wake till the day ends. We play with the golden dawn, we play with the silver moon." I ask, "But how am I to get up to you?" They answer, "Come to the edge of the earth, lift up your hands to the sky, and you will be taken up into the clouds." "My mother is waiting for me at home," I say, "How can I leave her and come?" Then they smile and float away.    But I know a nicer game than that, mother. I shall be the cloud and you the moon.  I shall cover you with both my hands, and our house-top will be the blue sky.  The folk who live in the waves call out to me - "We sing from morning till night; on and on we travel and know not where we pass.            Sunaina Coelho I ask, "But how am I to join you? They tell me, "Come to the edge of the shore and stand wit...

The Miracle of Love - Fiction - Post Number 8: #MyFriendAlexa

Credits: Col. Gopinath Menon The waves crashed on the rocks, a sound that Sudesh loved, as he sat feeling the freshness of the spray on his face. Voices echoed around him, and he could feel the vibration as people jogged along the beach, and his sightless eyes turned towards the movement. He had been coming to this spot for many months now, ever since he had shifted to Mumbai, after his mother had passed away.  The sound of the sea evoked a vision that he could only feel, not see. He could smell the delicious puris that Ram Prasad was frying, very near to where he sat. Every day the cheerful proprietor would look for a moment when there were few customers, and hand over a plate of piping hot puris and delicious potato curry to the gentle blind man who sat there, so young and so uncomplaining!                                                 ...
