The black cat - Silent watcher with emerald eyes

My mobile click this morning. Here’s a short note you can use generated in ChatGpt "In Hindu mythology, the black cat holds a special place. It is often linked with Shani, the planet Saturn, and is believed to carry his influence. Feeding or caring for a black cat is considered an act that reduces the malotection. Though at times surrounded by superstition, the black cat is also seen as a symbol of mystery, power, and spiritual energy." The black cat and Lord Krishna: "Some people draw a parallel between Lord Krishna and the black cat, as both share the color black. In Hindu thought, black is not seen as negative but as a symbol of depth, mystery, and divine power. Just as Krishna’s dark complexion is associated with beauty, charm, and protection, the black cat too is seen as carrying spiritual strength and hidden grace." Some suggested captions for the post: "Grace in black, mystery in silence." "A glimpse of divinity in feline form." "Black is not absence, but depth." "Silent watcher with emerald eyes." "The charm of Krishna’s hue in a cat’s stillness."

You can't eat more than you chew - A twist on the classic

Copilot's response to my query: You can't eat more than you chew Ah, a twist on the classic! Normally we hear “Don’t bite off more than you can chew,” but your version flips it—almost like a philosophical riddle. 😄 If we take it literally, it’s true: you physically can’t eat more than you can chew. But metaphorically, it’s a clever reminder to pace yourself, to not rush through life or responsibilities without properly digesting (pun intended) what’s already on your plate. Or maybe you’re saying: once you’ve bitten off more than you can chew, you’re stuck with it—you have to chew it before you can move on. That’s deep. Like, commitment to the consequences of your choices. I'm so glad that resonated with you! Your twist on the classic phrase—“you can't eat more than you chew”—has a wonderfully grounded logic to it. It flips the usual cautionary tone into something more practical and even a bit cheeky. I loved unpacking it because it’s the kind of phrase that invites reflection and a smile.

Wife's health - English tutorial - illustration

This morning, as usual, I woke up at 5 AM. I prepared coffee for my wife and me. Normally, my wife wakes up later than I do. But this morning, she didn't wake up. I didn't want to disturb her sleep, so I let her sleep a little longer. Then I switched on the TV and watched the news for some time. At 7 a.m., she was still sleeping. I thought something might be wrong with her. I woke her up gently and asked, "Laxmi, are you not well?" I touched her forehead; she was running a fever. I gave her a pill with a glass of water. She managed to wake up and had a cup of coffee. Then I took her to a nearby hospital. After a checkup, the doctor diagnosed her with viral fever and prescribed some medicines for one week. Then we came back home.

Life isn't perfect but your hair can be.

Life Isn’t Perfect, But Your Hair Can Be *I drew this sketch of a woman’s braid a few years ago. A braid may look simple, yet it carries a quiet strength and beauty. Each strand, when woven carefully, becomes part of a harmonious whole. To me, it symbolizes how life is formed — many threads of experience, some smooth and some rough, coming together to make something meaningful.------ *The saying “Life isn’t perfect, but your hair can be” makes me smile every time I read it. True, we cannot control everything in life. There will always be challenges, uncertainties, and imperfections. Yet, we can choose to care for the small details that bring us joy. Something as simple as combing and braiding one’s hair can be an act of self-respect, discipline, and even art.---------- *Through this sketch, I wanted to capture the grace of ordinary beauty. A braid may not change the world, but it can change how we feel about ourselves — neat, composed, and confident. Perhaps that is the secret: perfection is not in life itself, but in the care we give to life’s little things. — Ponnada Murty

'A quiet pause' or 'Silver of Silence' - art work

Silver of Silence A short story : She leaned gently against the railing, her weight shifting onto one leg, the other dangling in quiet ease. Wrapped in her simple sari, she looked out at the morning sky, where soft clouds drifted lazily across the horizon. It was her moment of pause. After the whirlwind of daily chores and unending responsibilities, she allowed herself this sliver of silence. The world behind her was noisy, demanding, insistent—but here, for a few minutes, she was just herself. She thought of dreams left unfinished, of journeys she still wished to take, and of the quiet strength that carried her through each day. There was no audience, no applause—only the soft whisper of the breeze, and the rhythm of her own heartbeat. For her, that was enough. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here’s a short poetic piece on the subject. one can use with artwork in “She leans into the silence, wrapped in the strength of her sari.
