I am taking part in a Photo a day challenge for June 2016.
The prompt for the 22nd of June is 'Delicious' and the above is my picture for the prompt.
This #Delicious man is my #Husband. Enough said.

Since I haven't been writing/blogging at all, and I REALLY want to I thought I would use the prompts to attempt to write short stories too.
Below is my story for the prompt,
Delicious
‘You
don’t concentrate enough, Miss Mehta!’
‘Why is
your head always in the clouds?’
‘What’s
the use of blocking a seat when you know you’re never gong to use this
knowledge, Madhuri!’
‘Rich
kids like you never value education!’
‘You will
amount to nothing!’
Professor
Pathuri’s words lashed out at Madhuri Mehta all through the senior year she was
in his class in medical school. The louder he became, the quieter she got,
sometimes forgetting the answers she knew till she had to give them to him.
His words chiseled away at her confidence bit
by bit till she shattered and gave up.
‘This is
a critical case, Dr. Male, 78, brought in after fainting after a severe
headache. Not conscious on arrival…’
The
doctor looked at the clipboard
‘…and the
family can’t afford the surgery required…’
‘Get him
ready for the surgery’ ordered the doctor
‘…but…’
‘Now!’
Dinesh
Pathuri felt something tight around his head. The pain is back he winced,
before his hand came in contact with the bandage wrapped around.
He turned
to see his daughter sleeping on a chair next to his hospital bed. Puzzled, he
nudged her awake.
A beaming
smile split her tired face into two, ‘You are awake, Papa!’
‘How did
I get here?’
‘You
fainted in the bathroom, Papa. We rushed you to MediCare Hospital…’
‘MediCare…?’
‘Yes,
Papa…’
‘But that
is the most expensive hospital in the city. How will we…’
‘The most
advanced too. The doctor assured us that your health is more important and
operated on you immediately…’
‘…money…?
‘We will
see about that, was her answer to us, when we asked her the same…’
‘I want
to meet the doctor…’
‘Dr,
Patient no 2094 is awake’
‘Professor
Pathuri?’
‘Eh? Mr
Dinesh Pathuri, Dr. He says he wants to meet you’
‘See to
it that he is comfortable and he and his family have everything they need. I
will be down as soon as I am done here.’ instructed Dr Madhuri Mehta, MS,
Neurosurgeon and owner Medicare Hospital.
For, once
she had taken up her studies again and regained her confidence, Madhuri had realized
one very important truth,
Revenge
may be sweet
But
Forgiveness
was Delicious.
