Have you ever...

 Have you heard of the jaggery experiment ? 

Have you checked it out on Google ?

Have your friends been discussing it?

If you are a teacher,  have you debated it with your pupils?

Have you used it to explain History,Geography or Math?

Did you use and AI tool like ChatGPT to find out more?

Or maybe LT rings a bell?

Do you know what Barrack Obama said about using it?

Whenever you think of the jaggery experiment what do you start reminiscing about?

Well if you haven't done any of the above you are like 74386229430 people on this planet who haven't either.

You see, the jaggery experiment was done over 1500 years ago in a remote village in Western India by a lady named Asunti. 

She did it once and never repeated it for fear of causing untold misery for her family and friends.

It all began when someone gave her family a large lump of unadulterated jaggery.

Omg I don't know where this is going so I will end here.

I have no clue ...........sorry.

When God's angels come calling

 When God’s angels come calling 

When God's angels come calling

Maybe - the devil at their heels

Will you welcome them with open arms?

Or will you shout and scream?

Will you be rejoicing, in the future you behold?

Or gnash your teeth in utter despair 

Because your soul

You have willingly sold?

Will you be packed and ready? 

Loving acceptance in your mind

Or caught completely unaware 

Because of belongings, you cannot find?

Candles will be burning

Incense filling the air

The mourners all assembled 

No more time to spare

The angels will sing with glory 

Their swords aflame with light 

While the devil, in his fury

Trying to unleash his Hadean might

But fear not all my people 

 For in the ultimate end

The righteous will prevail 

While the devil,

 in defeat, will kneel

 To the might of heaven's hail

So, let us take heart and stand

 Against the forces of the night

 For when God’s angels come calling 

We know we're on the side of the right.

The answers don't matter

 How many times have you been round the sun? 

Did you walk or did you run?

Maybe you strolled nonchalantly 

Looking, but seeing little!

How many times did you stop to smell the roses? 

To admire a rainbow

Or hear a little bird sing it's heart out

For a nonexistent audience?

Did you pluck a flower or admire 

An unrealistic cloud formation

That resembled an old man

Or a running horse?

Did you ever look at a vehicle passing by

On a lonely road

And wonder where they were going ?

Have you ever found yourself sitting

In a train

Speeding through the countryside 

Late at night

And then you spot a lone house

With a dimly- lit portico

And nothing else for miles around!

Is that not a brave family ? 

How many times have you paid a genuine compliment

And made someone's day?.

What about a warm greeting

A reassuring phone call 

 A brief email 

Or better still - a hand written note ?

Ever given them a try?

Each year seems shorter

Doesn't it?

Who do so many vague questions

Come to mind 

When the answers 

Don't even matter.
