Jokes -- My Daily Write-up

Jokes are something we all like and enjoy. When we read jokes or someone narrates a joke, there is so much amusement and laughter. Jokes are little stories with funny punch line.

It may sound funny if I say, “A joke a day can change the mood but not the say”. Jokes rake up laughter which is a must in everyday life. Without humour or laughter life can be so dull. A sudden change from the monotony in life can be brought about with some jokes.

There are some who detest jokes. Wonder what kind of people they are. Even if someone laughs or jokes in front of them they feel irritated. Maybe they are sad and don’t want to come out if it.

What can others do if such people are there? Likes and dislikes are one’s taste and let it be how it is.

To release and ease from tension laughter is the best dose…this can be with jokes. There are some who are a bundle full of jokes. They can tell different kinds of jokes as per the need of the temperament and time. Some can just make up jokes instantly.

Laughter is a very good therapy and people join laughter groups and laugh out loud for some time. This is also an exercise which should be practiced by all for that’s a way of life and makes it light. Laughter brings a change in the mood and is very essential. And Jokes can bring laughter in life.

There are different kinds of jokes…for children, for youngsters, for adults, and many other categories.

Sharing some Children’s jokes which can be shared with little ones:

Joke 1:

A little girl came home from school and said to her mother, “Mommy, today in school I was punished for something that I didn’t do.”

The mother exclaimed, “But that’s terrible! I’m going to have a talk with your teacher about this … by the way, what was it that you didn’t do?”

The little girl replied, “My homework.”

Joke 2:

The students were lined up in the cafeteria for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: “Take only ONE. God is watching.”

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, “Take all you want. God is watching the apples.”

Joke 3:

Teacher: “Why are you late, Ravi?”

Ravi: “Because of a sign down the road.”

Teacher: “What does a sign have to do with you being late?”

Ravi: “The sign said, ‘School Ahead, Go Slow!’”

Children like jokes and when they are being naughty the best way to divert them is to tell them a joke and the whole atmosphere changes. Isn’t it?

Sweet or Bitter -- My Daily Write-up

Sweet and Bitter are poles apart. If one is the north pole that other is the south pole. When comparisons are drawn there are so many ways of talking about it.

Sweet Mango

  

Bitter Neem

But here there is no comparison or difference that is being debated. Two simple words crossed my mind and that’s how the whole story stands.

Being a Bengali, I have a sweet tooth and sweet things are my favourite. But bitter things can’t be avoided. Here I’m talking about food. Karela/bitter gourd is bitter and is not very suitable to my palate. But this is healthy and karela does get a place in the menu list…not every day but sometimes. Neem is bitter and methi saag also gives out that bitter smell when it is cooked. But I like methi parathas, very tasty.

Rosogolla

Karela

Even emotions can be bitter and sweet. Memories can also have these two effects.

Life also is sweet at times and sometimes bitter.

But this sweet and bitter make up our life.

What to choose among the two – sweet ripe mango or bitter neem leaves – choice is yours.
