#AddaTales – ‘When He Missed The Last Train’

For most of the week, our lives and schedules are tied up with the schedules of trains and buses and public transport in general, as they are the ones that keep our lives on track, quite literally! Especially trains, the mythical beasts that transport a vast number of people, and make people frustrated when they miss their date with it. So this time, we asked people to create an #AddaTales with the prompt ‘When he missed the last train‘. For the first time, we have a story in poetry rather than prose, so this is one tale that you shouldn’t miss!

Winner Announcement: #TaxPledge activity with H&R Block!

As children, we are always in a hurry to grow up and become adults, to live life on our own terms and conditions. But in our haste to be independent, we often neglect to think of all the responsibilities that await us once we cross that threshold. Responsibilities such as taxes; the thing that no one warns us about, or more importantly teaches us to do. Taxes and tax regulations are so confusing that most people are still winging it and will refuse to talk about taxes on principle, lest they accidentally reveal that they are just as clueless as everyone else. But there is an easier way to do taxes, with the help of e-filing platforms like H&R block, where we are just a few clicks away from filing our taxes and breathing a collective sigh of relief that we’ve fulfilled this obligation for yet another year. In that regard, we asked bloggers to take the #TaxPledge with H&R Block! And now it’s time to announce the winners of this activity!

WOW – “A Story Yet Unwritten”

Writers are a strange species (in a good way). They have an inbuilt instinct to filter out moments into stories that could be read by all, heard by all and stay forever. To a writer, every creation is a piece of his mastery, close to his heart, like his own child. Once inspired, a writer doesn’t breathe easy till it’s out on paper. But there’s a catch – since we want the final story to come out in the perfect form, we sometimes put off writing the story, and it remains saved in our drafts forever! Every writer has at least one story that is nearly ready, but hasn’t been presented to the world yet. If you have it, we want it!

WOW – “The Photo That Captured Me”

Today is World Photography Day. We’re celebrating 177 years of being able to freeze moments in time by manipulating and capturing light through cameras. We can safely say that the camera is one device that has truly changed the world. Cameras, since their invention, have captured generations of families, the most important milestones in people’s lives, have been the reason to topple regimes and brought the truth out in the open. Photographs have captured reality and fantasy in their frame since their inception. So on this day we ask – which is the photo that has captured you?
