Ketaki looked down at the dress chosen for the show. It looked elegant and new except for the slight yellowish stain at a corner. She pursed her lips at the thought of not having a new dress. It was always the hand-me-downs from her much older sister, Revathi.
Revathi was the cynosure of all eyes. She was also dominating and confident unlike her- a puny and shy girl, thought Ketaki bitterly. Fighting all odds, perhaps, came to Ketaki naturally. Born prematurely at 7 months, the doctors had given Ketaki only 3 months to survive.
Picture prompt for BAR

As if surviving beyond the expected time isn't enough, she has to prove again! Nice take on the prompt, Uma. I love your fictions, always! :)
ReplyDeleteLife is unreasonable at times, no? And, that's such a lovely thing to say, Vinitha..so glad you like them :-)
DeleteShe's a fighter and I'm sure she will be fine...survivors...nice take on the prompt
ReplyDeleteThat she is..thanks, Naba :-)
DeleteI hate the very concept of circus and very sight of animals dancing around is appealing and cruel to me. Anyways, you have written a nice post, I enjoyed reading it :)
ReplyDeleteSame here..thanks for the read, Ankita!
Deleteappalling NOT appealing :P
ReplyDeleteA fresh take on the prompt. You chose a unique name! Ketaki
ReplyDeleteA common name around where I grew up, Red.. and thanks :-)
DeleteI love your take on the prompt!! Pure awesome from the viewpoint of the monkey...

ReplyDeleteOh my, splendid take on the prompt Uma: love it! I say that because I had forgotten it was the monkey picture and I was thinking I could SO relate to what you were saying about the sister being the cynosure (had to look that word up as I never heard it before!) and getting hand-me-downs and being born prematurely at three months! ;) <3
ReplyDeleteThe idea was to add the punch in the end and I'm glad it worked, Elly..thank you, so much <3
DeleteThis was heart wrenching and yet so beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it, Sowmya :-)
DeleteI am loving all these prompt posts. A sentimental tale that tugs at the heart's strings.
ReplyDeletePrompts always help you think deeply, I guess. Thanks, Rachna :-)
DeleteFor some life is tough, but they survive... no matter what. And that's how all the inspiring stories begin.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Rajlakshmi!
Deletewell not just circus life is tough as such for everyone .. lucky are the ones who are born with a silver spoon ..

Completely agree, Bikram..and don't you think life is a circus in a way?!
DeleteHow well you used the prompt to convey the hiccups life bears. A universal truth across species. Simply loved it.
ReplyDelete:)
I'm so glad you liked it, Ira..thanks for the read and welcome here :-)
DeleteThat's something most of the younger siblings deal with - hand me downs and unreasonable comparisons. Brilliant take on the prompt!
ReplyDeleteTrue, Vinodini and thanks so much! :-)
DeleteSuch a heartbreaking tale, loved your story.
ReplyDeleteSulekha, I'm glad you liked it..thanks :-)
DeleteIts a common scenario for the younger siblings I feel. Good take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ls and welcome here! :-)
DeleteIts tough to be in the circus of life. The mightier dominate over the meek and its a rule but am confident that one day Ketki will come out of the shadow of her sister. A lovely story of sibling rivalry
ReplyDeleteYes, the truth of life! Thank you, Kalpana :-)
DeleteNice take there! I was wondering how you were gonna take it through and then you did it in style :D
ReplyDeleteWow..that's so nice to hear, Keirthana..thank you!<3
DeleteNice one.I liked it much.
