അമ്മക്കിളിയും കുഞ്ഞിക്കിളിയും

അമ്മക്കിളി കുഞ്ഞിക്കിളിയെ കൂട്ടി ഇറങ്ങിയിരിക്കുകയാണ്.നാളെ അമ്മയെപ്പോലെ വലിയ കിളിയായി മാറണമെങ്കിൽ കുറെ കാര്യങ്ങൾ പഠിക്കാനുണ്ട് . എന്തൊക്കെ കാര്യങ്ങൾ ആയിരിക്കും അമ്മക്കിളി കുഞ്ഞിക്കിളിക്ക് പറഞ്ഞു കൊടുത്തിട്ടുണ്ടാവുക ?

അമ്മക്കിളി കുഞ്ഞിക്കിളിയെ ഏറ്റവും ആദ്യം പഠിപ്പിക്കുന്നത് പറക്കാനും ഇര തേടാനും ആയിരിക്കും, കാരണം, ഒരു കിളിക്കും കഴിക്കാനും കുടിക്കാനും ഇല്ലാതെ ജീവിക്കാൻ സാധിക്കില്ല. മാത്രമല്ല ചില പക്ഷികൾ മുട്ടയിടാൻ പലസ്ഥലങ്ങളിലും പോകാറുണ്ട് . പക്ഷികൾ സ്വയം സംരക്ഷിക്കുന്നതും അനിവാര്യം തന്നെ. അതുകൊണ്ട് അമ്മക്കിളി കുഞ്ഞിക്കിളിയെ അതും പഠിപ്പിക്കും. അതല്ലാതെ അമ്മ കുഞ്ഞിനെ ഒരു കൂട് എങ്ങനെ ഉണ്ടാക്കണം എന്നും പഠിപ്പിക്കും.കാരണം അതിനെ സുരക്ഷിതമായി സംരക്ഷിക്കുന്നതു കൂടാണ് . അമ്മക്കിളി കുഞ്ഞിനെ അപകടത്തിൽ നിന്നും രക്ഷപ്പെടാനും കഠിനമായ പ്രശ്നങ്ങളിൽ എങ്ങനെ പെരുമാറണമെന്നും പഠിപ്പിക്കും, അതിൻറെ കുഞ്ഞുങ്ങളെ എങ്ങനെ വളർത്തണം എന്നും പഠിപ്പിക്കും. അല്ലാതെ സ്വയം എങ്ങനെ വൃത്തിയായി ഇരിക്കും എന്നും പഠിപ്പിക്കും. ഇതെല്ലാം അമ്മയിൽ നിന്നും പഠിച്ചു സ്വന്തം ജീവിതത്തിൽ ഉപയോഗിക്കേണ്ടത് കുഞ്ഞിക്കിളിയുടെ കടമയാണ്.

An Incident That Broke My Heart

Recently my English teacher gave us a writing assignment. It read like this. “On the way to school you saw a stray dog hit by a speeding car. Express how you felt about it .”

I am not sure if it was a mere coincidence , but the exact incident my teacher asked us to imagine had already happened in real! What more, it happened on my way to school . I thought I must pen this down .

Ever since moving to a nearby school me and my brother started commuting by our bicycles. Unlike the bus rides this makes us see and hear more on our way. It was another morning as usual, I was enjoying pedalling down the peaceful street on my way to school. Everything was quite still and normal till I turned to the main road.The road was bustling with school buses ,cars ,vans ,trucks ,and people on two wheelers going on with their daily lives.

The cute white puppy

All of a sudden ,a cute white puppy caught my eye.It had fur which was as white as snow and had huge round and cute black eyes ,its tail was very short and wagged behind it .It’s ears were so long and floppy and covered half of its huge eyes. It’s cute sleepy eyes were eagerly searching for food.I took out my snacks box to feed it something. It stood still for some time whimpering and looking at me as though he was checking if I could be trusted. Then,slowly it took one step forward and took another.

It had almost crossed the path when suddenly , a red car just sped off in the opposite direction and knocked down the puppy. I was not sure if the driver didn’t see it or didn’t care! The little puppy lay on the road drenched in blood .It’s huge ,black ,round eyes were half shut. It’s snow white fur was dripping wet with blood . It’s long and floppy ears covered half of its face ,and its tail lay motionless on the ground .It lay on the road very still as the vehicles passed it . I couldn’t do anything when many dogs surrounded it and started barking.

I knew help had come and went on my way to the school ,my heart heavy with sorrow. I could not stop thinking about the cute white puppy while I went to school .Usually the sounds of cars and other vehicles honking would irritate me ,but today they did not seem to bother me .Even when I reached school ,I could not forget the puppy .It’s memory lies in my heart to this moment.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
