I parked my car in the parking lot of my office and quickly headed towards my cabin wherin I was greeted by my staffs ..I wished them back with the smiling face ..
Mam we have appointment today with our NGO sponsers...kavya my secretary spoke through my cabin glass door..
Yeah...I remember that.
.uhmm
.are they here ?? I asked
No Mam..they informed that they are on there way ...she answered
I nodded ..and got back to the office files that I was reviewing ...
Our sponsers arrived not long after it..
Good morning Ms Naina ..it's a pleasure to meet u ...one of our head sponsers Mr Thomas said while extending his hand.
It's a pleasure to meet u too sir ..I said with a warm handshake
After our greetings and wishing with our officials we finally we're on our serious discussions
So here are the reports of our work and it states that we have done an excellent work and we plan to extend this foundation to spread our services ..I said by reviewing reports and data's on the projector..
Ms. Naina ..we are really impressed u and your team has done a marvellous work ...and we are more than happy to extend our sponsership with you...Mr Thomas said
Me and My team looked at each other and smiled
"but" ...
said Mr Thomas in a dramatic way ... and our smiles soon turned into frowns
He continued ..we will need some big personality who can reach out to the public And tell about your good work..u know kind of endorsing ...
But sir, our work is enough to endorse our foundation ,I don't think there is a need of calling any celebrity and wasting our money and time on it ..Max my team member said in a polite way

Well Mr Max just doing good work is not enough we have to show them to the world so that more and more.people will.get attracted and will donate and encourage this foundation...This is the way through which an NGO survive -publicity..Mr Thomas said with stress on the last word ..
But sir ...I was about to speak when he interrupted
Naina..my team is very clear on this ...if u want us in this deal..u have to publicize it on larger platform with big celebrity..u and me will never be able to.promote the foundation the way they can...they are for that purpose..
I glanced at all my colleagues completely unable to read their emotions..
Ok sir please give us some time to think about it ..I said with a small smile
Take as much as your time but I want a positive response on this Naina ..I can't loose such a brilliant people like youn
I just nodded with a smile
The meeting was over and I was back in my cabin ..I ordered my staffs to go through the idea...and come up with their own conclusion within 2 days...and even my whole day was spent in thinking of ideas how to.solve this issue
I headed back to my home and was welcomed by Angel
Hey !!! I said tiredly
Are u okay ?? She asked concerned ..
Yeah it's just office stuffs...I said
She nodded..
.wanna talk about it?.she asked ..
Yeah but first let me just freshen up I said..and went upstairs
On the dinner table I told her the whole story ..
Okay so what's the big deal
.I think it's a pretty good idea that a celebrity will endorse your NGO you know..good publicity ..plus you get to.meet handsome people.... she said with a wink

I rolled my eyes at her
That's what I don't want ....I don't run my foundation for publicity ...it's for genuine service to people and .with celebrities and all ...it will just get lost somewhere in their glamorous world ..it will be more.of a show off thing ..I explained.
Yeah u r right abt that but look at the brighter side u will have universal support and donations.for your NGO. she said to Calm myself down..
I don't know Ang ..that sponsership is important for me but I don't want the additional liabilities that come.with it..I said with a deep sigh
Okay okay..jst calm down..jst relax and do what u think is right okay...she said ..and I.simply nodded ..
On my bed I was grasped by all the what if and what if not thoughts .
"What if I invite a celebrity and he take over my foundation through his money power "
What if I do not invite a celebrity and Mr Thomas takes back his sponsorship ...
And with each thought I was turning from one side to other in my bed...
And finally after a battle with my thoughts I finally came to.a conclusion that I will invite a celebrity..I can anyhow accept the limelight taken by the celebrity but will never accept that NGO people suffer because of this sponsorship loss...
Now the next ques that popped up in my mind was...
who should be the celebrity ?
Who will be the face of Goodwill foundation??

Cultivating Earth [Hiatus]
[This fiction is on indefinite hiatus. I'm currently acting as a 24-hour caregiver for my step-father who had a massive heart attack. I apologize for disappearing so quickly, but sometimes that's just life. I'll return as soon as possible. Sorry everyone!] Zhao Gang, after hundreds of thousands of years cultivating, has finally reached the penultimate threshold. He is ready to ascend to the level of True Immortal. Driven by the need for a place his enemies won't find him, Zhao Gang puts together an audacious plan. He has developed a revolutionary new formation which will allow him to ascend while on even the lowest planes. To avoid drawing attention, he has to choose a plane that is relatively desolate, however. He chooses Earth. Fast forward three thousand years. Zhao Gang discovers what his work has wrought - a cultivation-free culture that has delved the deep mysteries of creation - he can't help but think how this tiny little planet devoid of natural energy could affect the course of all creation. There's only one problem. For that to happen, he has to succeed in cultivating Earth. Notes: Chinese names should be ignored in the social context - they don't mean anything. Sorry for slaughtering such a beautiful tradition. This novel starts off slower than most. If the slow-roll isn't your thing, you might want to give this a pass. If it's not for you, I understand. Also, releases may be broken up into smaller chunks. The goal is 5k words, but definitely more than 4k. If you see a short release, be aware that more is probably coming. I'll be honest and say that I'm struggling with each new scene, if only because I want to balance the scope of vision with good pacing. I hope the work I put into it is worthwhile.
8 77Familiar In Chains
Familiar: A magical beast of one type or another which forms a magical bond with a mage who possesses a similar magical trait. Thus entering into a master-servant contract. Due to their abilities as a familiar, they possess all of the intelligence and knowledge of a human alongside the instincts and nature of a beast. Sourced From: My First Familiar Assigned text for third-year mages For young mages, obtaining their first familiar is a momentous occasion. Their magic forms a symbiotic relationship with their bonded mage, amplifying their's strengths and covering for their weaknesses. Often the strength of one's familiar is a key factor in how far a mage will go in their career. They are considered a necessity in the Empire of Afaron and the surrounding nations. Once familiars were caught in the wild and brought back for training and bonding. Eventually, however, the wild magic beasts were hunted to the point that they could no longer be found. Those that had been bred domestically would often produce magicless offspring. Nowadays the mages of Afaron know nothing of how familiars are bred, raised, and tamed. Once every three years, the Order of Beast Tamers come down from their mountain strongholds with caravans loaded with familiars purchased by noble families and magic academies. The Beast Tamer's generosity hides a dark truth. If you can't find a magic beast, make one. (Warning: Mild Nudity)

8 184The New God’s Representative
I was given a one-a-trillion chance opportunity to reincarnate into a fantasy world by a god. The actual chances are probably even lower — I mean, how would you even calculate the chances of being in my frankly ridiculous situation? In any case, the deal we made seemed pretty good; at least hope so, seeing as I’ve forgotten most of it along with the memories of my past life. Now, I’m a baby bird monster in a world with magic. I can see my Status as if I were an RPG character. And running with the RPG theme, my main Quest in this world is to become its strongest entity or titular God. I have a couple thousand years to do it or else the laws of reality itself will erase my existence. But, hey. That’s exactly what I signed up for, right?
8 114A Nation of Distances (possibly a dystopian love story)
Michael lives in a toxic macho world with extreme male hierarchy. When he gets a weird rating that makes his place even more problematic he's forced to choose a fiancée at a Wife School, and he slowly discovers more about the other side of the great divide between the sexes in The Nation. If only the world would stop being so complicated... On the other side there's Megan, who's more interested in books than in marriage, and the unpredictable Eliza who seems to have a connection with Micheal already. Will they be able to cross the distance and become friends against all the rules of their own world, or will they just be crushed? Are positive relationships between men and women even possible? And is there a way to change the world or is that just a naive thought of a silly wimp? 'A Nation of Distances' is a slightly dystopian dialogue-heavy drama set in a low sci-fi future setting about the war between the sexes, disconnect and friendship. The genre will fluctuate in between more slice-of-life parts and soft sci-fi drama with possible romantic elements, with alternating lead and switching perspectives once more of the main characters are established. Content Warning: Certain concepts and scenes might be disturbing and/or triggering to some, even though the story itself won't be extremely heavy most of the time. Sexism as a double-edged sword destructive to both sexes is an important part of the story, but so is friendship.Note that all descriptions of persons and places are purely fictional and made up by the writer, and any resemblance with anything in the real world is a coincidence, since the real world is not supposed to be dystopian anyway!
