Tina:- Last night was later than usual. I couldn't help it you see.
Ray:- Then?
Tina:- Then I saw my room's door opening slightly. I didn't realize it. But then i saw someone standing in the darkness of lobby.
Ray:- Spooky...Who was it??
Tina:- I was talking my friend on net regarding zombies and i was scared stiff with his version of the dead people coming alive and stuff. Well i heard mum saying, "close the computer". It was all so sudden... Though she said it quietly I got scared stiff and fell from my chair yelling "Zombie".
Ray:- WHAT?? U CALLED MUM ZOMBIE??
Tina:- I didn't mean to besides u should have seen her. In her nightgown with face all scarred from sleeping on her embroidered pillow and her eyes squinting.
Ray:- ha ha ha ha...This is so funny!! U called mum zombie...no wonder you are angry at her for scaring you and she is angry at you for calling her a zombie.
Tina:- Shut up and get my mobile recharged.
Ray:- Ha ha ha ha...let me tell this story to some more people like your friends...that will be fun...
Tine:- Shut up and leave my room.
(Tina throws a pillow and Ray leaves laughing)

A regular family incident
Preeti, Priyansh and their parents in car.....
Preeti:- Can I go to Jaipur with Arti this summer?? with her family of course.
Mum:-No
Preeti:- Can I visit our relatives in kolkata with Sheena?? Her in-laws are there and she is going back for a few days.
Mum:- No
Preeti:-Can we go out of this blasted city for a few days during my vacation??
Mum:- Mind your language young lady and the answer is no. Besides you will be getting a big No every time you ask the question regarding vacation.
Dad:- I'd prefer driving in silence which you guys lack in.
Preeti:- Can i drive the car??
Mum & Dad:- No
Preeti(grumbling):- What's the use of having a driver's licence when I am not allowed to drive the car and what's the use of being of 23 when i am not allowed to go out and have fun?
Priyansh:- Well keep grumbling and one of these days you'll be given the opportunity to do what you want.
Preeti(snorts):- Yeah as if u said it and it will be so.
Dad:- Will you two stop bickering?? Its difficult to drive when two of you are bickering and making noise.
Preeti(irritated):- I hate this.
Priyansh(muttering):- Join the club sis. They are planning to kill us of boredom this summer.
Preeti:-geez...its nothing new bro. Let's wait for their plans to be revealed this summer.

Our Family
Our Family...sounds good when we all say or hear such words. These words make us feel that we have some people in our life with whom we have a spiritual relationship. Every family has to face good and bad times, i know there's nothing new in this fact but what about those people who suffer the good and bad times alone... without a family.
The other day i met a little beggar child who asked for alms from me and my friend. I gave him a rupee and asked him where is his family and what does his father do? he says" India is my family. All these people who give me alms or kick me or feed me instead of giving money are my relatives." my friend and i couldn't believe on what he said so i asked again,"why do u consider this country as your family?" he replied," because in this world i have no one to call my own except this country. If anything good happens to it, i am happy. If anything wrong happens to it, i suffer with the people."
See how a beggar child can say so easily that i love my country and its a big family. Its difficult for most of us to say this because we don't come out from our general family sphere. It's like a circle is made for some of us and we don't have to move out of it unless permitted to be a part of the big family either by defending it or voting for the leaders,otherwise bound to the natural family and have the arrogance and say, "who cares? It will be same for next ten years to come why should we bother about our country and why should we try to change it?"
There are people who don't even consider that if they start bringing changes in a family it will be better for the next generation to come. The new generation will play more active role in it. Nothing wrong can happen if changes are meant for the betterment of the country and its people and this implies not to India alone but all the countries of the world.
There are other people who do take active part in the scenario of changing the phase of the country but these people are always facing the setbacks in their roles. Who's fault is it? Nobody can determine it.
And finally there are those who change the scenario to some extent but then they lie dormant for their own benefits.
Bringing changes in the family,whether the changes are big or small one has to make efforts in that field. The only difference in the natural family and country is that we can bring changes in our natural family on small scale but in country we have to make changes on large scale. If family members won't bring changes in the family then who will??
