Daily Prompt: Create a new word and explain its meaning and etymology.
This is a term which you all might have known for ages
Many people deal with it whose kith and kin join services
They get posted to new locations after a certain time period
Their biography have been known through various resources
The term Postingography means biography of the brave ones
Who move along with family, their entire house packed in trucks
They were existing when kings ruled many decades before,
Fighting on horses and elephants, for expansion of territories
Belong to small princely states within the country,no outside enemies
Then came Britishers who established colonies and companies
They were part of “Kaali Paltan” of “Goure Saab’ under the queens
Their color of the skin was black when compared to glowing white Brits
Fought with enemy in the world wars and spread the royal kingdom
Later in independent state they protect the motherland, get posted frequently
Their wives, kids, move with them if it is a peace location full of greenery
The wife feels sad leaving her friends,work place, cherishes sweet memories
The house left behind where she had learnt to bake cakes and canopies
Children keeps on missing classmates, teachers and friends of old town
They wanted to get along and stay more, starting fresh brings a frown
A new world after every two years, feeling complete stranger for months
Packing, unpacking becomes the second nature, life is full of events
In the coming decades the postings shall take place, life will go on
Many biographies will be written, people would feel safe in their houses
Since few braves will sacrifice their stability to provide stability to masses

Couldn’t have summed it better…..
Beautifully written.
Thank you. I appreciate your words.
You taught me something new, Rashmi! I did not know this and am rather behind in the technology fields… I always appreciate learning and loved the way you made this warm and friendly, too. I always think highly of military people around the world, having to leave their families. Hugs for helping me to keep learning and expanding my old brain! ha ha!
We always live out of boxes, my kids feel exited to move to a new location though bit sad to leave old associationsbehind. We are very adatable that way…may be there is no other choice. Thanks for leaving such kind words in comment section. Much appreciated.
