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!!

      Thanks for your critique...I'll carefully analyze and assimilate what I can from it, and use the same to progressively improve my writing in the posts to come!

False Absolution

“Every one is really responsible to all men for all men and for everything.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky 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 vici...

Krakatoa

"Forsan  et haec olim meminisse iuvabit" - Virgil [trans .  Perhaps one day, it will be pleasing to remember even these things. ] ** Some time into the somewhat distant future... "Alright listen up, everybody!"  All the members of Squadron 27 gradually stopped chattering among themselves and began to gather in front of my dear friend, Eric, who also happens to be the last-minute captain of our squadron. There were quite a few new faces alongside the familiar ones, but I noticed a few familiar ones missing as well. I took a deep breath, and immediately regretted it. Once I'd finished coughing, I took my place among my squadmates and turned to face Eric. "Does anybody here wish to give a recap of the past few weeks?" "Aye, sir!" a young-looking, tall chap with dark brown hair yelled at once. "Let's hear it then, shall we?" He nervously gulped and said, "Aye. Our planet intercepted a strange, invisible beam on Sunday morning.....

The Flight (Poem-14)

the flight to Neverland... On a cold and rainy October night The pilot made haste for flight To his origin, ("Neverland", he said) And then soared into the night. It had been several years since The pilot left Neverland And although he seemed to move on The townspeople deemed him sad. He never spoke much about the place, Yet would often dream about His youthful years in its greens And the liveliest folk he'd never seen. His dreams gave off hues of grief But nought gave off his face, Whenever the young man would be asked On cue, his heart would race. He didn't have the brightest years Back in those spritely greens He lost more than since, has gained, And yet, there, he longs to be. A little while after his ascent, that day There came a rapping from behind When he ventured to see, who the causer was, Was appalled to see a mere child. A tousled boy he was, and nothing more; The astonished lent him a hand The pilot asked, "So, where to?" The boy softly said, ...
