Profession - 55 Fiction

Note:- 55 Fiction infers to fictional writings bounded to a maximum of fifty-five words.

Profession


They take your hard earned money, with all your consciousness, through different means and at different times.
You cannot avoid them.
They are everywhere.
They appeal you emotionally with their masks and behavior.
They exploit you for being empathetic.
This virtual robbery happens daily.
You feel very helpless.
They are not beggars, they are corporates.

Lie

Indira, never bothered about price tags, was flushing thousands of bucks in the city's most ostentatious mall...

What mattered her was the brands...

On her way to home, she had stopped by a maize corn cart, lowered her car's window, and asked the vendor, "How much?".

He replied, "5 rupees each, madam..."

"...3 for 10 rupees?", she bargained.

Alive

There are national and international policies and programs to protect endangered species like Tigers, panda etc...

Recent reports reveal that there is one more species which needs attention and focus...

Though every one knows the reason behind the fall in their count, no one hardly bothers about them...

Scientists have named the species as "Indiana-Farmer".

 ----()----

 Live

 She used to be very simple with emotional inclination towards societal well being and oneness ...

But, her affinity towards materialistic and consumerist life style forced her into prostitution...

She is so beautiful that customers hardly bother that she has got only one leg...

She is suffering from cancer...

She is not Indira, she is India.

PS : The  word "Indiana-Farmer" is not a typo and i have deliberately used it to represent the Latin nomenclature syndrome of researchers whenever they name something new :)

Sidelines

When you say, "I love India".
Is your love for India or yourself ?

Republic day is around the corner.
Is it the celebration of virtual Democracy or real Oligarchy?

Justice Krishna has showered his magic on Telangana.
Does any one know the difference between a state's separation, bifurcation and reorganisation ?
Anyway, what shall i call the process of claiming an existed state ?

As per congress, our national scams are either real fictions or fictional realities.
Hope, they have clarity regarding what they have achieved on 15 Aug, 1947. May be, they have been executing 'Royality' till now.

Binayak sen has been sentenced as per the law.
Is it the end of natural and social justice or dawn of  Neo-Aristo-Monarchy?

Wikileaks may be useful for many nations but not for india.
Here, it doesnt matter whether things happen in open or they get opened after happening.

When the scams spilled like crude oil,
Had they disturbed the nation or 
the nation had disturbed the scam flow?

When the candle blew off....
Had the air disturbed the candle or 
the candle smoke disturbed the air ?

Esteem - 77 Fiction

Note:- 77 Fiction infers to fictional writings bounded to a maximum of 77 words.
Esteem


Since childhood, Karthik is more attached to the patriotic fervours .....

The words tricolor, anthem, slogans, martyrs, revolution, sacrifice and independence, always use to reflect in his paintings.

His painting on 1857 revolt has won him accolades from everyone in the school.

Strangely, till now, he has never attended August15 or January 26 ceremonial celebrations. 

His budding integrity and blossoming instinct makes him to strongly believe that the ONE best way to salute the tricolour is ONLY through right hand.

Independence - 77 Fiction

Note:- 77 Fiction infers to fictional writings bounded to a maximum of 77 words.
Independence

Like all children in the primary school,  Karthik has got affinity for flag hoisting celebrations.

It is obvious that what matters for him more is the sweets distribution .

The day has come.

After the completion of all flag rituals and national formalities, the sweets distribution has started and so is Karthik's enthusiasm .

The distribution has ended but still his hands are empty .

He is not sure whether the reason is the school wall or his balloon business.
