Lost--Reward if found (Blog marathon post 22)
Lost: A sense of humour
Last seen: Buried somewhere in in the stack of dishes to be washed /pile of laundry to be done/room to be cleaned
Reward if found: A big wide grin
Lost: Enthusiasm that had been taken for granted
Last seen: Flailing its arms and running away to Himalayas
Reward if found: A cup of coffee (err... can you make it yourself? :P Enthusiasm might run away again if I take my eyes off it :P )
Lost: Ability to take criticism
Last seen: Being bashed up, bloodied and being badly beaten in a volley of words
Reward if found: A good dose of cattiness--I'll even throw in some verbal volleys, too.They're free.
Lost: Patience (Especially with people who do not read up and instead send silly mails expecting answers to silly questions)
Last seen: Buried in the pile of mails that ask me all kinds of things just because I have a policy of 'responding back'
Reward if found: A personalised poster of Mr. Silly?
Lost: Willingness to continue with this marathon.
Last seen: Buried in the archives of this blog
Reward if found: 8 more posts till the end of the month.
Now, quick, quick..Are you going to help me look for all the lost things or are you just going to read and leave? :-)

Here is a hot cup of coffee with a big wide grin from me for you to gear up with enthusiasm and take some stupid criticism with a lot patience and probably an absent shrug, ardently willing you to continue with the marathon :)...
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha an awesome post....
ReplyDeleteI remember a verse though said about presence of god but is true for what all is lost :-)
"Moko kahan dhoonde bande, main to tere paas mein.
Na mandir main na masjid main, na kabe na kailash main"
Okay... so thats how things are... never seen a post like this before from u... it is a good post... but sans the usual enthusiasm.... ah.. well... u said u lost it... if it makes u feel any better, the whole blog marathon thing is a brave move... and m reading everyone of it... I comment when I have an opinion or view to share... but when there is no opinion, I don't know how else to let u knw that I have read it... and usually ur posts stay for 3-4 days and the readers have time to comment. But now since u have a new post everyday, the comments would be always on the latest... okay, so.. in a nut shell.... I think everyone;s reading ur blog and appreciating it too... so hope u get back all thats lost... and then, its human to lose all this once in a while... m giving u too much gyan??? :d.... take care Preeti and God bless u.... :)
ReplyDeleteReally amusing and creative post:-) how did u got the idea?
ReplyDeleteAmusing..but nice ,light ,,,,
ReplyDeleteCREATIVE
very different from your usual posts.. You are so sensitive and caring and this doesn't sound like you.. confused!
ReplyDeleteDoli: heheheh. Maybe I ahve different sides of me :) Post was tagged 'funny/amusing' :)
ReplyDeleteHarman: thanks :) was meant to be amusing.
Roshan: Because I do get emails from so many people just asking questions for the sake of asking, desperately seeking attention because I do reply to all mails.I sometimes get tired of these incessant demands.
Pointblank: It was mostly in good humour only! Post was tagged 'funny/amusing' :-) An exercise in creative writing. But hey--thanks so much :)
Prats: Glad u saw the humour! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAnusha: Aye aye m'am. *gratefully gulps the coffee and the praise* :D
Lost: Willingness to continue with this marathon.

ohhhhhh preeti -- you should not loose ur willingness to continue. You have inspired me to blog for the entire month as well. I was neglecting my blog after my baby was born..... and after i read that u were going to blog for 1 month, I though I should do it too.. I read all ur posts...and so do so many ppl......no one even visits my blog :) but I still write everyday thinkin someday I myself will visit back and read the stuff that I wrote. You should defintiely not stop now.
good luck- 8 more days

--Seema
Seema: It did feel good to be reassured though! Thank you. you take care too! :-)
ReplyDeletePreeti when you started the blog marathon, I too decided to write daily for one month[as a private memoir] in order to improve my writing skills.Whew!I think I wrote for a week and I quit.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing an amazing job. Inspite of having a family and its responsibilities you take time and a lot of effort to come up with something creative every day. Hats off to you. Let this amazing flow of creativity always be there with you.
I wish the blog marathon was there for a whole year, hehehe.

For a mintue there, I thought you were not going to write anymore, then saw that there were posts after this post and heaved a sigh of relief! Loved the first lost and found, please flash that lovely smile over and over again!
ReplyDeleteI have commented I think previously also, not sure on what posts though.
Hahahahaaaa.....super post Preeti!!! No words of advice from this side coz judging by the current post it sure looks like u've found it;-D.
ReplyDeleteJokes apart I'm glad u wrote this post...we got to see this side of u too. I dont knw if u knw but u come across as a superwoman atleast to me.....I'm this easy-going types who cant be bothered to take cue from anybody but if there's anybody who inspires me not to waste even a minute in the day its U.
U r doing a marvellous job in this marathon giving us 'worthy' posts everyDAY of the month whether it is to ponder over, laugh with, get us all nostalgic or teaching us something new. Thank U!!!!!
