Brothers.


“Besides hard work, perseverance and tincture of luck, what gives us the opportunity to stand here is the unfathomable faith we had in each other. Every passing moment we leaned on to each other’s shoulders, cherished every success together, rebuked each other during pitfalls...”
I choked while staring at the last picture of the slide.
“This couldn't have been possible without you brother. Thank you for giving me the shoulder. Wish you were here Mr. CEO!”

With tear filled eyes, I gazed endlessly at our favourite school photograph as the audience gave me and his garlanded picture a standing ovation.

Rise!


It happened during one of my retrospective sojourns by the lake side. Glancing down at my reflection I pondered upon the age old conundrum, “Who Am I?”

I remember briefly closing my eyes. An unexplainable euphoric joy gripped me. White light flowing over the surface of lake, created intricate ripples all over!

A hollow voice echoed hence, “Rise my son! For what you seek, thy must turn inwards. Rely not on the physical eyes, the light shall enter through the third…

A reflection gleamed across the steps below, slowly dissociating amidst the ripples. I had risen!

The End.



"You look beautiful today.."
He looked deep into her eyes and heaved a deep breath.
"Don't..."
A deep blush spread from her head to neck as he playfully pulled the string of her backless dress.
"Are you sure about it?"
He nodded.

Short of breath and profusely sweating, he stared blankly at the flickering bulb overhead, as a tear rolled from the corner of his eyes.
"I am sorry."
She didn't speak. It was the longest pause of the entire night.
"Please, don't ..."
She hastily picked her dress and left.


The quivering bulb overhead, died a natural death too.

Ocean of Chaos.




Chaotic thoughts flashed across her nimble mind as she gazed into the distant skyline. Each stroke of white cloud communicated with her inner consciousness. She had always longed to be here – away from her dark past.


She could feel the ocean's warmth, inviting her with open arms. It had been a long battle for her. Slowly walking across the shoreline, her lips moved into a silent prayer for the gang of unruly men who were hanged to death for raping her.


A drop of tear submerged into the vast ocean of chaos.
