The Mastermind Behind #WhatTheBlack!


Yesterday...

~~~

We All Were Excited...

To Have Found The Fun Element...

In The Campaign...

In The Form Of...

A Delicious (Easter) Egg...

Filled With Sinfully Dark Chocolate...

~~~

Suspense...

Mystery...

Excitement...

All Ruled The Heart...

~~~

कल की  रात से...

आज की सुबह तक... :)

~~~

Around The Same Time As Yesterday...

When My Surprise For Day 1 Had Arrived...

I Sat...

Eyeing The Doorbell...

~~~

Slowly, Time Faded...

And, The Sun Set...

I HAD NOT...

Received My Surprise...

For Day 2. :(

~~~

I Decided To Send...

An Email...

Adressed To BlogAdda...


~~~

In The Next Hour...

The Doorbell Rang!!! ^_^

~~~

With Bated Breath & Fingers Crossed...

I Proceeded Towards The New Surprise...

The Pivotal Link In...

The #WhatTheBlack Mystery...

~~~

What Did I Receive?

Clue No. 2...

The #WhatTheBlack Times!!! :)


~~~

So, With A Cup Of My Evening Black Tea In Hand...

I Set Out...

To Summon My 'Super Sleuths'...

Who'd Help Me...

In Cracking The Enigma...

And, Unveil The Mastermind... :)

At 18:50 Hrs...

We're Off To Work, Sherlocks! :D

~~~

The Question Was NO Longer...

Why is it Black?

The Question WAS...

Why Are All Things WHITE, Turning BLACK?

~~~

Eggs... 

Newspapers...

#WhatTheBlack Is Going On?!

~~~

After The Initial Guess Work...

We Set Out To Explore...

The News Items...

In The #WhatTheBlack Times... ;)

~~~

Yesterday's Mr. #WhatTheBlack Egg...

Was Creating Hype On Page One...

Of #WTB Times...


~~~


The #WTB Fever Had Gripped The Fashion Fraternity...


We Tried Looking...

SIDE WAYS...

Black Tissue Papers Were A Unique Find!

~~~


#WhatTheBlack Had...

Shocked Astronomers...

To The Point Of Insanity...

~~~

Other News Items Were Quoted By Me...

In My FB Update...


The Sports Updates...

The One From The Parliament...

The One For The Senior Citizens...

Another One From Glasgow CWG...

~~~


~~~

The Mystery Was Gripping The Town...

The News World...

It Had Been Painted BLACK! :)

~~~

#WhatTheBlack Day 2...

Was Hiding...

More Than It Was Revealing...

~~~

Just When...

My EUREKA Moment Stuck!!!

~~~

#WhatTheBlack Times...

Was A Newspaper...

Or, So Said This Note...

In The Middle Of The Mystery...

~~~


~~~

When I Zoomed In...

With My Magnifying Glass...


Make That Evening Times...

Instead Of Morning! :)

~~~

And...

That's What Set Me Thinking...

#WhatTheBlack Times...

WAS A NEWS Paper...

After All...

~~~

And...

Every News Agency...

Has An Editorial Board...

And...

Each Edition...

Houses An Editor's Note...

~~~

Off To Unveil The EDITOR...

And...

Look What I Found...

~~~


Because...

From The Eyes Of An Alert Detective...

Even A Fly Cannot Escape...

~~~

Namrota_M Is None Other Than Namrota Mazumdar...

One Of My Super Sleuth...

And...

The MASTERMIND...

To #WhatTheBlack...

Has Been Highlighted...

In RED! :D

~~~

Who Is It?!

None Other Than...


~~~

Have A Look...

At Their Website...

To See...
~~~

A Site...

WHITE IN COLOR...

Is.

Painting The World.

BLACK!!! :D

~~~

Quoting My Own Excerpt From Day 1...

~~~

#WhatTheBlack Says...


~~~

We've Been Sent Eggs...

Will They Send Us Some Secret Message Next?

THE MESSAGE WAS...

HIDDEN...

IN THE NEWSPAPER!!! :) :) :)

~~~

And, Your Very Own...

Ms. Poonam 'StirYourSouls' Khanduja...

Is.

On Record.

THE FIRST ONE.

To Have.

Unveiled...

The MASTERMIND.

In Partnership With.

BlogAdda. :D

~~~

From 18:50 To 22:50...

4 Hours Flat...

Has Unmasked Your Identity...

What Will Be Your Next Move?

#WhatTheBlack Has Begun!

Top post on IndiBlogger.in, the community of Indian Bloggers

~~~

This Mystery Dates Back To 26 July 2014.

Not as far off a time as the Prehistoric Era.

Not as far off as The Mughal Period.

Not even as The British Regime.

~~~

As Near As The Black Revolution.

What Was The Black Revolution?!

Not WAS, Silly!

It Will Be...

~~~


~~~

That's The Countdown For You, Dear Reader...

~~~

So, 26 July 2014.

The Day.

When.

I Received.


~~~

Team BlogAdda has always been synonymous with Surprises...

And, this one was no different.

Only That, along with the Surprise Element...

BlogAdda threw in a dash of...

Intrigue...

Mystery...

And, a lot of Excitement!

~~~

What???

#WhatTheBlack, After All! :)

~~~

Today, 30 July 2014.

The Day.

When.

I Received.


Gracefully Packed...

Elegantly Wrapped...


The Ribbon Unfolds In...

5...

4...

3...

2...

1...

~~~


The Ribbon's Off The Box...

Now, For The Flaps...

~~~

This is what it Looked Like...

At First Glance...

It looked like...

A well guarded 'Black Secret'...

It Sure Was...

With That Grace...

And, Elegance Of Wrapping...

And, The Safety...

And, Security...

Of A Multi-Flapped Box...

~~~



~~~

I'm contemplating...

I'm on my 'Sherlock Mode'...

Just when...

Mr. #WhatTheBlack Decided...

To Take A Breath Of Fresh Air...

And, Out It Came...

With An Egg Shaped Note...

From BlogAdda...

~~~

"The Question Is NOT...

Which Came First - Chicken Or Egg...

The Question Is...

WHY IS IT BLACK?!

~~~

बोलो बोलो...

Tell Tell...


~~~

And...

The Excitement was at its Helm...

The Curiosity was at its Pinnacle...

When...

It Overturned!

~~~

And, What Did It Say?

See, For Yourself...

~~~



One Thing Was Now Clear...

Mr. #WhatTheBlack For Tonight...

Had To Be Edible...

~~~

Else, It Wouldn't Have To Be Preserved...

Or Would It?

~~~

The Question Now...

"What Were Its Contents?!"

Maybe, It Was Too Excited...

To Reveal Itself...

Down, It Rolled...

On To The Floor...

~~~

And...

Then...

None Of My Tricks...

Could Put Poor Egg Back In Shape...

*Humpty Dumpty Undertones* ;)

~~~

But, Oh Boy!

Was I Glad...

That It Unveiled Itself?

~~~

That Black Beauty...

Unveiled...

Sinfully Dark Chocolate...

~~~



And, Now When...

The Veil Had Been Lifted Off...

The First Day Of...

The #WhatTheBlack?! Mystery...

~~~

It Set Me Thinking...

As To What...

Would Be In Store...

For The Next Couple Of Days...

~~~

Maybe...

We're Playing An Easter Game...

Of Those Surprise Easter Eggs?

~~~

Maybe...

Each Egg...

Would Hold A New Surprise?

~~~

#WhatTheBlack Says...


~~~

We've Been Sent Eggs...

Will They Send Us Some Secret Message Next?

~~~

To Find Out...

Stay Tuned...

To StirYourSouls...

Behind #WhatTheBlack...

With Me...

~~~

You Could Just Win Yourself...

Exciting Goodies...

From #WhatTheBlack! :D

~~~

The Perfect Comeback...

Top post on IndiBlogger.in, the community of Indian Bloggers

~~~

With this point in mind...

I'd like to applaud the Team at Project 365...

For coming up, with the Prompt for July 30.

~~~

Today, I'm penning this...

When I had no clue, I'd ever be, penning this! :)

~~~

Such is the power of opportunities and circumstances.

~~~

Well...

I often pit myself into Discussions and Arguments, for one.

Because, I voice my Opinion...

~~~

For two, it's against People.

People who annoy...

People who irritate...

People who mask themselves...

People who've wronged me...

Or, my family...

~~~

For three, when I'm done with the people, I just listed...

It comes down to those tiffs which I have occasionally...

With my Husband or Daughter...

Again...

In lieu of difference in opinion...

~~~

But, that is not often...

~~~

What happens often, are the insightful discussions...

Insight, into each other's way of tackling the same situation, say.

~~~

And, being a Teacher has taken a toll...

It has made me a more Philosophical person, on the whole.

It has made me a Preacher...

But, it has also made me a more Practical person! ^_^

~~~

And, I guess, me being a Libran...

Perfection runs in my Act...

~~~

And, I, most often, end up getting the better out of the person, I'm involved with...

In a discussion, an argument, or even otherwise...

Maybe because...

I put forward a solid point.

Or because...

I've been convincing enough...

Or just because...

I'm plain Awesome! :)

~~~

Okay!

The last one went a little overboard, with Narcissistic undertones...

~~~

But, yes...

When Hubby 'n' Your's Truly get into tiffs...

The Scene is much like...


Now, you guess for yourself...

Who plays Tom and who plays Jerry! ^_^

~~~

And, Hey, what happens to Tom when Spike is around? ;)


That's Dear Daughter, for you... ^_^

~~~

But, on a more realistic note...

If the both of us, step into a deadlock...

When in deadlock...

Both of us, retreat...

~~~

I give him time to contemplate...

And, he reflects on my course of action, throughout the discussion...

~~~

When it is all done and dusted...

We both have our Perfect Comebacks...

~~~

We both know that we've been and we will be, functioning as a familial unit for our lives...

We both know, that there is no family, wherein...

There are no tiffs...

There are no differences in opinion...

Of course, THERE ARE! :)

~~~

But, we also know...

That there are...

Patch - ups...

Reconciliations...

~~~

And, that's how it ought to work...

For the sake of God...

For the sake of the Relationship...

And, We ought to go hand in hand...

Till Eternity! :D

~~~

Only that...

Our Perfect Comebacks...

Are NOT Winning Lines...

But, Winning Gestures...

~~~

Winning Each Other's Hearts, Since 1994. :D

~~~

And, when...

Daughter Dear 'n' Your's Truly get into tiffs...

The Scene is much like...


Well...

Not physically...

But, it sure is exhausting, verbally...

~~~

Where, C plays another C...

And, P plays H. ^_^

~~~

When it is all done and dusted...

We too, have our Perfect Comebacks...

~~~

Again, NOT Winning Lines...

But, Winning Gestures...

Winning Each Other's Respect Since 1995. :D

~~~


~~~

All in all...


~~~

And...

While I'm playing Tom 'n' Jerry with Hubby...

And, Calvin 'n' Hobbes, with Daughter...

It All Comes To A Standstill...

At One Point In Time...

~~~

When We All Realize...

That...

We've Progressed...

Towards Better Relationships...

In Our Respective Lives...

~~~

And...

That Is...

TRUE  VICTORY...

And...

PURE  BLISS! <3
