Day 13 | 750 Words Challenge | Morning Pages Challenge

As the war started we were just about equal in strength. We have almost the same number of men and women fighting for the cause. We do have aerial strength and the we could use to penetrate deep inside the enemy line and we have the long range weapon that can cause damage to the other side of the border. There was not much difference in getting the people to be involved and eager to get into the war and try to win it. There was a catch though. The other side has employed spies beyond our borders and they have been in the country for many years. Supplying information about our plan and strategy and many other things. We only realized the damaged that they have done recently and try to make sure that we can cover the weaknesses from the beginning and that was it.

The other independent countries tried very hard to get us on the table to negotiate a truce but the progress has been slow. The people from the medical aid were ready to help out the displaced population once the war started and we did not intend to get into this either. There is a possibility that we did wrong in the calculation and that the damage from the war can be very costly and we may not recover from the situation for many years. That was the consideration and that was the end of the discussion. Nothing happen and we all went back to our daily lives and try not to disturb the neighbors.

That was the snippet that would proceed to get into the details of the charges we all know about. There is nothing that we could disguise from the beginning and that we game will be played on a neutral ground. It was met by anger and dismay from both sides of the supporters and fans and they tried to get the management to abandon the game. The authority got involved and the managed to calm the people down and try to get the game going as planned. Many tried to go to the stadium using the public transport. Unfortunately, there was a workers' strike and that they are demanding better wages and better terms for their retirements. Nothing can be done and traveling was very difficult. So many decided to stay home and watch the game on the cable network. But they have to make the pay per view channel to get into the game. The cost is escalating and we have to pay for the price of convenience.

This is the middle of the rainy season and we have to face the fact that our laundry will take longer time to dry. We also have to deal with the mosquitoes during the night and we must be aware of the danger in the dengue fever. The kids must be taken care of because we do not want them to be sick. School will commence in a couple of weeks time and that we all are trying to see that the school stuffs are being bought and ready for the new day in school. I do have to send my daughter back to her hostel and that can caused a little more money than the usual. There will be school fees that I have to pay in advance to make sure she gets everything that she needed for her final year in high school.

My son will be in his final year of primary school and both these kids will have their respective exams for the next phase of their education. Excellent results for the girl will she her getting more options for the college education and for the boy will allow him to apply for the boarding school and pursue his music studies at the school of arts in the capital city. That is what we are try to get into the year after and we have to go through the year before that.

Perhaps we are too diligent to see the matter being resolved upper hand and they are not trying to be fair to the people of the region. We have seen too many instances where they negotiated a one-sided agreement and we were not the best position to bargain for better terms in the long run. However, things may change next year because we do have election and we try to get new people to lead the party and also the senate in the governing body.
