I am participating in 100 Words on Saturday 2014-3: Photo prompt provided by the wonderful Vidya Suri (vidyasuri.com). It’s a lovely photo prompt of a cute kid in a Mithai Shop and I absolutely love the picture that conveys lovely memories full of positive energy and happiness.
Kuch Mitha Ho Jaye
“Mamma! I want Kala Jamun only,” Akash stomped his foot in the Mithai shop in Pune. Maitrei lost her patience and slapped him hard. Akash moved inches away to retreat near the metallic bin that he held on to. Despite Maitrei best efforts to show him various delicacies, Akash didn’t bulge. He spotted a single Kala Jamun inside the shelf and instantly jumped with joy. Maitrei turned around when he showed his tiny finger, ‘Yeh dekho.” The Mithai wallah peeped through and handed the sweet to Akash, “It’s our treat to you.” Akash smiled as he popped the sweet in his mouth.
Sweet Love

The little one deserves his sweet.
Thanks, Kalpana. He deserves it and to say, I have such a sweet tooth and swear by Gulab Jamun::)
As we move out of our moorings and seek with all our heart, the Universe opens up to make that come true.
Your post is yet another illustration of that.

Thanks a ton for the lovely words. Love those lines, it’s so beautiful:)
You are welcome Vishal. How else might I support you?
Just ur good wishes, Sirjee and pray I get a good job fast:::)
I am sure you will do that. What competence profile do you possess?
I hold an Economics degree but found fulfillment in journalism. I’ve been in & out and based in Mauritius. Looking to relocate in Emirates this year before heading back to India this year. Keeping fingers crossed:)
Exactly…it doesn’t take a lot to please little children!
Thanks, Michelle. It doesn’t take a lot to make a child happen:)
Nice take on the prompt. It was probably the sweet that he wanted all along.
Haan! He was yearning for this one sweet that everyone thought is finished. He noticed it and when we badly want something, the entire universe conspire to make it happen:)
aww..poor kid,got slapped for a gulab jamun..:(
Haan! Yaar! The kid wanted to have the sweet but the mom lost patience. But, finally poetic justice restored as he popped the jamun:)
That lovely kid deserves his favorite sweet after all…
A sweet post
Indeed, he does, Shellymona. Finding the sweet one craves for is, after all, very sweet. What say? 🙂
wow!!!.. that was a beautiful take on the prompt .. loved it …
Thanks a ton,simple girl. I try to and thanks for the appreciation:)
Oh yes ..I remember going to the sweet shop with Papa and looking with such doling eyes..invariable the mithai wala uncle gave me one to eat… Thanks for bringing back the “sweet”memories 🙂
I swear Shiva and I was always looking forward always for choco, ladoo and apple sweet cake. I would always offering to accompany Dad on walks on pretext so that I can push my case for Mithai. Oh! Childhood memories, how I loove them! I’m so glad the post has refreshed our childhood memories:)
That was so sweet of the mithai wala and what a lucky kid he is to get his favourite Kaala Jamun 🙂
Thanks, Diana. I tried to imagine a sweet shop and put some goodness in the imaginary character:)
