Proverbs Gone WROGN !!




Using proverbs the other way round....



We all use proverbs and idioms in our life. We have them almost by heart as if we were to make a speech. Given below are some idioms gone wrong, but they, however, make complete sense!!

1. A Doctor A Day Keeps The Apples Away(An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away)-

This implies that if we have appointments or consultations with a doctor every day, we won't need to eat apples that often!!

2. No Gains, No Pains(No Pains, No Gains)-

This one implies that if we do not own any article, we won't feel protective for it or we would not need to face the pains(or take efforts) to keep it safe!!

3. A Friend Indeed Is A Friend In Need(A Friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed)-

This means that a true friend will always need you or vice versa, implying that he/she will always fall in trouble!!

4. All You Love Is Need(All You Need Is Love)-

i.) This states that we all want the feeling of wanting something!!
ii.) This also states that we should focus only on things that we need, rather than on things we want!!

5. Every Story Tells A Picture(Every Picture Tells A Story)-

This means that after a story is written, there soon will be a movie produced based on its plot!!

False Absolution

“Every one is really responsible to all men for all men and for everything.” - Fyodor Dostoyevsky Rafe boarded the train just before the compartment doors shut. He breathed a sigh of relief, but only momentarily, and hurried further to find the debriefed compartment. This time, unlike his previous assignments, not only did Rafe not know the face of his target, but he was also late. The target was to get off at the next station, which was only thirty-four minutes away. The odds were against him, and he was not very happy about it.  Having a rather modest, yet relatively respectable record of eight accomplished assignments, with no breaches, if Rafe were to botch this particular mission, he wouldn't be spared from being treated as a beginner's luck-riding rookie. His promotion being on the line certainly alleviated none of this pressure. Compartment 38...40...and there, Rafe reached the 42nd compartment, as mentioned in his briefing, with thirty minutes left. Rafe scanned his vic...

Diadem of Dust (Poem-18)

"The greatest victory is that which requires no battle." - Sun Tzu This part of the forest is Much too quiet tonight To the majestic old noctuid, though, clinging on to life, It's no new sight. It rests near a pinecone, on a tall tree branch As usual, and waits for its Instincts to drive it to Claim morsels that may fit. Below its branch,  Moonlight glinting in its eyes, A young wild rat emerges from the bushes and Out of hunger, sighs. The pinecone quickly senses  Something off, however, And truly so, because it sees, staring back, A pair of red eyes quiver. The wild rat makes its way over A carelessly thrown matchbox  In dry litter, and slowly and steadily Up the tree, to the scared pinecone it walks. He triumphantly places his grown nails on The ill fated pinecone, but just over it He sees that, quite to his pleasure A little beyond him, an old moth patiently sits. Greed manifests  As he drools onto his paws, And he decides to spare the pinecone; He gently lets it...

Dead-ja Vu

"What are we, if not characters, from one story or another, playing our part, knowingly or unknowingly, willingly or unwillingly" - Sandip Khade You know how people get 'kicks' out of doing something daring, say, over-speeding on their bikes, or breaking dress codes, purposely attempting to get away with something illegal, etc.? Well, and I don't mean to sound like that guy , I've always gotten a kick out of giving to the needy; this could manifest in the form of giving money to the traffic signal dwellers, small community charity contributions, the monthly blood drive, or buying your practically broke friend his favorite energy drink when you sense a potential 'head-butt alert!' conversation vibe in the air. I groaned when I realized it's one of those days, and walked into our PG hostel's canteen area.  Most of our guy-classmates stay at this PG, since it's pretty close, and dirt cheap for its surprisingly un-pathetic living conditions. It...
