The Restaurant

The Daily Prompt: Sliced Bread: Most of us have heard the saying, “That’s the best thing since sliced bread!” What do you think is actually the best thing since sliced bread?

This is something new for us. However, we understand this is part of a rotation for bloggers blogging since 27th January, 2013. So, we guess WordPress has to find the best thing since sliced bread. 😀

For newbies like us, the saying, “That’s the best thing since sliced bread!” means something better than sliced bread. This phrase is generally meant to be used as the mother of invention, and what is that, which we find better than this invention? As we danced our fingers on the keyboard to explore, pizza was found to be the best thing since sliced bread. But, for bloggers, with a unique perspective, that’s us (Ahem 😉 )the best thing since sliced bread, or rather the best invention after sliced bread would go far beyond the basics. There are indeed countless inventions. But to relate it to food, this is what we see better than the best…

“Sliced bread” must have left your mouth watering. The effect must have been even greater, if there were rats running inside your stomach. We got to hurry to the kitchen to get something for us just after we finish off this write-up. If “sliced bread” could make you hungry, how about a restaurant? That glamorous table, those glittering spoons and forks and shining dishes remind us of all the delicacies, finely dressed and ready to be served for a treat! Those tasty meals deserve to be served with elegance. Yes, “the best thing since sliced bread” is “Restaurant”. And we are off to find something for us to eat. 🙂

Childhood Memories

The Daily Post: The Transporter : Tell us about a sensation — a taste, a smell, a piece of music — that transports you back to childhood.

Wondering who is our transporter? SEE the photographs of our child below. Sense the TOUCH of those tiny fingers. LISTEN to that music- a lullaby! Ah! There’s nothing like a BABY SMELL. Feel the sensation- the TASTE of Childhood Memories for a short duration. 🙂

Proud of Me

In response to The Daily Post: Proud

I may be small, but I stand tall,

Without me, the beauty would fall;

This is how I’m made,

No matter if others hate;

I’m here for a reason,

Earth is my home, not a prison;

 I can stand against the wind and the rain,

Even if I fall, I can rise again;

I’m food for the honey bee;

No regrets, I’m proud of me.

Yes! Thanks!

The Daily Post: No,Thanks? Is there a place in the world you never want to visit? Where, and why not?

Why talk about what we don’t wish to do?

Let’s talk about what we wish to do,

And where we wish to go!

Let us allow good to flourish,

Think positive and cherish;

Let us dream good and feel good.

Everything happens for a reason,

Let us embrace every season;

Heaven or Hell is part of literature,

It’s alright to not know all answers,

Life is a gift of countless mixture.

Breaking the Law

In response to The Daily Post: Breaking the Law. This photograph was taken in 2009, when our son was three years old. He was experimenting with talcum powder, which for him was snow! 🙂

Had there been no rule or law,

We’d have looked at this world with awe;

There’s so much to learn and grow,

We wish to go steady and slow.

Many a times we broke the law;

Never worried who saw;

It’s our life, we’ve to live,

We make mistakes, God forgive.

We’re happy, never regret,

What we did, we wished to get;

Our motto: Break any law in a lifespan,

But never forget  to be human.

Morton’s Fork?

Morton’s Fork is an expression used for a dilemma, especially one in which both choices are equally undesirable. A Morton’s Fork is a specious piece of reasoning in which contradictory arguments lead to the same (unpleasant) conclusion. It is said to originate with the collecting of taxes by John Morton, Archbishop of Canterbury in the late 15th century, who held that a man living modestly must be saving money and could therefore afford taxes, whereas if he was living extravagantly then he was obviously rich and could still afford them. 

So, who is playing Morton here? WordPress?

If you had to choose between being able to write a blog (but not read others’) and being able to read others’ blogs (but not write your own), which would you pick? Why?

Either way, we are the victim. If we were not able to write our blog, why would we even think of being here? On the contrary, why would anybody care to read our blog, if we do not play their audience. Guess what? It’s a Good Bye!

Human beings are balanced creatures. They need small doses of everything- good and bad, happy and sad, day and night, summer and winter, spring and autumn, love and hate, oxygen and carbon dioxide too! If we have the capacity to read and/or listen, we also keep the desire to write and/or express.

Likeable Blog Justified!

The Challenge: You have three hundred words to justify the existence of your favorite person, place, or thing. Failure to convince will result in it vanishing without a trace. Go!

Our favorite is our Blog! Here we go justifying the existence of Sia Positive. 🙂

Our previous post What’s so special about 1337 was a poem in response to Writing Prompt: Blogging 101 that expressed who we are and why we are here in WordPress. Just minutes before we came across this writing prompt, there was a notification saying we’ve received 1337 likes in our blog! This number left us scratching our head and we were motivated to come up with a post hoping to get answers to our question about this special number. We wondered, how many bloggers are aware of the significance of 1337? Guess what? No answers!

What next? You’re right! Google!

So we decided to Google. And what a coincidence! The Daily Post came up with yet another prompt, Do or Die! Could there be any better way to link this current post to this prompt? So, here we are justifying the existence of our blog. We are sure Sia Positive will not vanish but exist!

We came across several interpretations for 1337. But what we thought could be best related to this blogging world goes as follows:

Angel Number 1337 is a message of ‘congratulations’ from your angels and the Ascended Masters, as you have chosen the right course of action and are travelling well along your life path. Your clear connection with the angels, Archangels and Ascended Masters is ensuring a strong channel of communication and you are receiving Divine guidance every step of the way. Call upon the angels whenever you feel the need for help and support. You are encouraged to continue on your current path as the angels and Ascended Masters support you in your quest. 

Angel Number 1337 is a message from your angels that you are being commended and applauded for your efforts as your successes are inspiring and uplifting and you are helping and teaching others by being a positive example for others to follow.  You have listened to and heeded the guidance from the angels and are successfully serving your Divine life purpose and soul mission with wisdom, love, persistence and enthusiasm.  Allow the flow of positive abundance to shower down upon you as your creative energies have been activated and you are being asked to express yourself with joy and enthusiasm.

Angel Number 1337 indicates that your positive expectations, prayers and visualizations have set you on your course and ‘right’ life path.  Your angels ask that you keep up the great work and keep affirming positive outcomes.

So, are you convinced? 🙂

Depth of Life

 Dark is the absence of light,

Hate is the absence of love,

Death is the absence of life.

Rules and laws are made by us,

Situations change but rules never change!

Is it fair enough?

We punish the wrong and reward the right,

With the hope that wrong never prevail;

How far is this right?

If the world has changed,

Why do we still talk of change!

If we all are sinners, then who are we to judge?

We are not prisoners;

We do not need rules to live,

Then why can’t we take a risk,

And think positive!

Arrest hatred, arrest the furious mind,

Punish jealousy and greed,

Leave the negative behind.

Right or wrong, good or bad,

Are we not aware?

Feel the depth of life, far and wide;

Let peace prevail worldwide.

Depth of Field

In this post we share some of our photographs that we think would best fit The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Depth. We have chosen photographs that explains the Depth of Field.

In photography, Depth of Field (DoF) refers to the range of distance that appears acceptably sharp. In some cases, we may have the entire image sharp. In other cases, a small DOF may be more effective, emphasizing the subject while de-emphasizing the foreground and background. In cinematography, a large DOF is often called deep focus, and a small DOF is often called shallow focus.

(For more information on Depth of Field, visit Wikipedia: Depth of Field)
