True Love

When the cloud moves fast,
And the wind blows soft,
Sitting by the side of my window
I enjoy the beauty of the nature.

There I saw my Shiny(name of my dog)
pushing herself into the bush.
Never seen her sitting quiet
but for the first time.

Yes, She is going to be a mother.
Loving to care for her puppies
She might have changed herself.
This is the love of the mother.

I've seen her running fast,
But now she even moves with an utmost care
just for the sake of her puppies.
This is the love of the mother.

Now I could hear her crying voice
but soon it stops.
Now i could hear many crying voices,
This is the love of the mother.

She licks her new born puppies
With an infinite love and care
forgetting all her troubles.
Yes, This is the true love of the mother.

The Caring Heart

THE CARING HEART






Jessica was from a rich family. She was doing her graduation in business administration. Her father was a successful businessman in the city. She was the only daughter to her parents. She was showered with the richness not only in money, but also in love and care. Her parents use to care her most. Even though her father was a busy man he never forgets to spend a little time with Jessica daily. Her mother was also so caring towards her. She loved her parents very much. Jessica wants to be a successful business woman like her father. She wants to niche a special name for her in the society. From her childhood this was her only aim. She was enjoying her life. She has never thought that one day her life will change completely.

She finished her graduation and was ready to take up her aim. Unfortunately her mother fell ill and become serious in her health condition. The doctors have tried there best but they could not cure her. She was about to die. She called Jessica alone and told her that she want to tell her important information about her birth. She told her that she was not their daughter. She was adopted from an orphanage when she was at the age of three. Jessica was completely upset on hearing this. She could not believe her ears. She was broken in to pieces. Since she was seeing them as their parents for these years, she was unable to accept what her mother told. She also knows that how much her parents love her. They have always thought her as their own daughter. She felts her heart heavier than ever. She walks out of the room. Her father was standing outside the room. Seeing her father, she hugs him. Her father told her “You are my sweet heart dear. You will always be my daughter”.

Days roll on. Her mother’s loss and the truth that she is not their own daughter has affected her very much. She started disliking her life. She went to her father, “Hi dad, Can I sleep on your lap today?” Her father replied “Sure dear” She was feeling a bit relaxed now. After a few minutes of silence she asked her father “Daddy, where did you bring me from?” He replied “When I and your mother got married, god didn’t bless us with a child. So she came up with a decision of adopting a child. I too agreed with her. We enquired many orphanages and after a long search we found you in one of such orphanage. We never thought you as an adopted child. You are always ours. We both love you very much. “. She replied “I know dad. I know how much you and mother loved me” She just slept in his lap.

She wants to see that orphanage. So she decided to get the address from her father and make a visit to the orphanage. As she decided she went to the orphanage.
It was in a distant city. She boarded a bus to that city. She has never travelled in the bus in her lifetime. It was a small city. She then took an auto and reached the orphanage. The orphanage was an old building. Half of the building was heavily damaged. She opened the door and went inside. She went to the orphanage in-charge and introduced herself as an orphan and she wants to stay there. She didn’t reveal her identity to them. She said that she has studied till school final year and she could do any job there. They agreed for her stay. The orphanage had nearly thirty students. It was taken care by four in-charges and a chief in-charge. The orphanage got its fund from an international charity firm. They use to get a regular lump some amount every month. It was really a different experience for her, spending her time in the orphanage. She felt pity for those children. She thanked god for what god has given her, she thanked her parents too. She was enjoying her stay in that orphanage.

One such day, she placed a big box in the centre of the orphanage, and named it as god’s hand. She called the children and told them that they could write their name in a small piece of paper, and also they could mention their wish in that paper. The god will select any one child and try to make their wish come true. All the children were happy and they asked god for toys, ball, bat, good dresses and the list goes on. Every night the children will drop their wish in to the box. Jessica will choose any one among those and make that child’s wish to happen. The children started to think that there is some one to care for them too. They believed that god is making their wish come true. Jessica use to select the small wish among all. She use to tell them that, we should not expect much from god. Our expectation should be as low as possible.

She has always wondered why these little children are made orphans. Once she called a small girl and asked her “Hey what happened to your parents? And when did you come here?” The girl told her “My mother died of some disease when I was four years old. I don’t even know the disease name. Then my father married another girl. She didn’t like me. She didn’t like my father too. She married him only because of his money. After two years, she killed my father too. And I was left alone with her. She use to yell at me always. Whenever I disobey her she will beat me like an animal. Then one of my neighbours felt pity over me and brought me to this orphanage.”

Jessica was about to cry on hearing her story. The girl again continued “Even in this orphanage, nobody is taking care of us. I have heard our in-charge speaking that the master himself would take most of the money what we get from foreign. They don’t provide us good food and clothes. What to do? It’s our fate, we have to bear all this.” The girl then went to play with other children.

Jessica then saw a blind boy sitting and playing in the sand. She went to him and asked the same question. He told her “I am from the neighbouring city. We had a beautiful family. I , my little sister and my parents were having a happy life. One night when we were sleeping our house was burnt in a fire. My father wanted to save us first, so he threw us outside and before he and my mother could come outside, a big wood fell on them and they died there. I too lost my vision in that accident. None of our friends or relatives was ready to take care of us. So they decided to leave me and my sister in this orphanage” his sister came running and gave him a fruit saying “Brother, see I have brought you a fruit. We can have half for each. It will be so sweet. Common have it”. Jessica was able to see their love between those sister and brother. Whenever Jessica asks someone about their past they use to tell her a sad story and made her to cry. She decided to help these children. She decided to give these children everything what her mother and father gave her.

The next day she called them all and started to teach them singing, dancing and she played with them. She saw them laughing and being happy. She wants them to see like this forever. It was the time for their lunch. But the master told her that the lunch was not ready. When she enquired the reason, he told the fund they get for that month was over and they don’t have money to buy food items. She asked “what about today’s lunch for these children.” He told her “Probably we will get the fund for the next month within two days. So they have to wait till then.” Jessica asked him “Do you want to leave these little children hungry for two more days?” The master replied “What can we do when there is no money? It’s their fate. They have to bear this.” Jessica became very angry with the response she got from him. “Listen Jessica, you came here only few days back, you are only a worker here. You cannot question me like this. Better stop this” She became angrier with the way of the master’s behaviour.
Since all the children were actively playing and dancing from the morning, they were very much hungry. When she asked them, they told that it was the usual happening every month. We have to bear all this. She decided to change all this.

Jessica, using all her influence directly contacted the higher authority of the charity, and informed about the masters behaviour. They sent two staffs for an enquiry. They proved that the master has mishandled his power and has taken the fund for his own use. He was later arrested and a new chief in-charge was sent to the orphanage. He was found to be an honest and kind man. The children thanked Jessica for her help. She helped them in all the way she could. The children thought their life changed completely after Jessica came to their orphanage. Every child loved her so much.

One such day, Jessica was teaching the children. The in-charge lady came and told her that a man has come to see her and he is waiting in the front room. When she went there she found her father standing, she ran and hug him. He asked her “How are you dear?” She replied “I missed you a lot dad.” Her father said “I too dear” Then she introduced every child to her father. He was happy on seeing her happy. He told her “Dear I have happy news for you. I have found an alliance for you and I want to finish your marriage soon” She stopped him “but dad…” Before she could continue, he told her, “Listen dear, after your mother’s death, you are my only happiness, I want you to see you married and live happily” she could not deny his words. He has done everything for her, now it’s her turn to do something for him. So she agreed to his decision.

She doesn’t know how to tell the children that she is going to leave the orphanage soon. But she has to tell them. She called everyone and told them that she has to leave the orphanage soon. Everyone became sad on hearing this from her. She could not tell anything more to them. She left to her room.

She woke up early in the morning. She has to leave that day. She too was not ready to leave these children, but she has agreed to her father’s decision. She went and opens the God’s hand box and opened one of the slip. She was shocked to read the contents. It was written as,
“Dear God,
That day you took away my parent from me, and made me an orphan. Then I was left all alone in this world. When there are thousands and thousands of people around, there was nobody to care for me. There was nobody to ask me, whether I ate or not. Why did you made this to me? Not only me, all of my friends here were in the same state before Jessica came. She came and changed our life completely. She helped us everyone. We were happy that you send a saviour in her form. We were happy that at last there is someone to care for us. But today, you are taking her away from our life. You are making us feel alone again. Without Jessica we will again be left alone. Please don’t take away Jessica from us.”
To her surprise every child has asked the god not to take Jessica from them. She started to cry on reading the notes. She too loved them all. After thinking for a long time, she has taken a final decision. She knows that once if they all woke up, they won’t allow her to leave. So she decides to leave as soon as possible. Without telling to anyone she left the orphanage.

Once the children came to know that Jessica has left them, they all started to cry. They could not bear her loss. They don’t like to eat. They don’t like to play. Once again they feel the loneliness. But they always thanked her for the love and care she showed them. She helped in changing their orphanage. Though she is not here today, she was remembered by all.

After a month, a group of people came to the orphanage. Jessica also accompanied them. When the children saw her they came running and hugged her. Jessica told the chief in-charge that, I have brought thirty couple with me. Each one has come here to adopt a child. They want to give these children a new life. Jessica has felt that each child needs their own family. Each child wants a mother and father as she has got. And that is why she made such a decision. All of the children thanked her for giving them a new life. She too was happy on seeing each child with a mother and a father.

Meaning of Love

MEANING OF LOVE





It was a pleasant evening. After a week long hard work, he came back from his office, with the thought of enjoying his weekend. He entered his room and switched on the television, and browsed through the channels. He stopped at a channel. He saw Oorvasi and Meera Jasmine sharing the screen. He could recall the film was ‘Achuvinte Amma’ one of the Malayalam film which he was waiting to watch for long days. So he thought of spending that evening with the same. He refreshed himself and then brought some eatable. Got settle down and made him involved with the film.

He forgets himself in the film. Suddenly he hears his phone ringing. Before he picks his phone, the ring stops. He found the number to be an unknown one. So he was not interested in calling back. He again started watching the movie. The film was nearing to its climax. He was listening to the song “Enthu paranchalum...“ The song depicts the true relationship between a mother and a daughter. It was really one of the masterpieces of Illayaraja. He has always been a great fan of Illayaraja. Now the phone again rings to distract him.
He attended the call and said hello. The voice at the other end also said a hello and asked “Am I speaking to kishore?” He guessed it to be a voice of a sweet girl of his age. He responded with a Yes.

Kishore: Yes, This is Kishore. May I know who is on the other end?
Girl : Hi Kishore, How are you?
Kishore: Ya I am fine. May I know who this is?
Girl : Ya I am your school friend. Don’t you remember my voice?
K : Sorry, I don’t remember.
Girl : Just try a guess
K : Is this Veni?
G : No.
K : Is this Kiran?
G : No.
K : Please forgive me. I am not able to recollect your voice. Can you please tell me who are you?
G : Hello Sir, you might have achieved a lot in your life. But, is this a way to forget a good old friend?
K : I am really sorry. Please forgive me. Please tell me who you are?
G : OK, My dear friend. I will forgive you. But I am not going to tell you who am I. You have to guess. I will call you again in another 30 minutes. At least then you have to tell me, my name.
Without waiting for Kishore’s response the girl hang up the phone.

Kishore was completely perplexed. He started to recollect his entire school friend’s name but he was not able to match with that voice. He was continuously thinking for the next 30 minutes, but he could not recollect her name. He just cursed his memory and decided not to try hard any further, after all she has told that she will call again. He was waiting for her call. Almost an hour has gone but she didn’t call him back. Since he could not bear the suspense, he himself thought to call her back. The phone rang thrice but there was no answer. He decided to try for the last time. Luckily she attended the call.

Girl : Hello, May I know whom is you talking to?
Kishore: What?
Girl : Yes, May I know whom is you talking to? That is what I asked you to find out half an hour back na.
K : Ya, ya, But I still could not recall your name. I am really sorry.
G : It’s really too bad to forget a good friend’s name.
K : Ya I understand, but I am really sorry.
G : Even if we don’t have contact, I could remember you very well. I even know which college you studied, what all you did these many years after you left our school. But you don’t even remember my name.
K : (He was more perplexed now. He just kept silent.)
G : It’s OK. Leave it. I give you a last chance. Are you free tomorrow?
K : Yes I am.
G : Then can we meet somewhere?
K : OK, but first tell me who you are.
G : No not now. As a punishment, you have to wait till tomorrow. We will meet at Café Day at city centre. I could easily find you out, since I remember you very well. Since you forget me, I will give you a clue. I will be wearing a yellow chudidhar. You should be there at evening 5 sharp.
K : OK. (He could not reject her request.)

He was waiting for next day evening. Even though he decided not to stress him much in recalling her name, now and then he was trying to guess her name, but it all ended in vain. He was completely unable to recall her name.

The next day evening, he was waiting for her in the café day exactly at 5. He was searching for her all around, but he was not able to find anyone with a yellow chudidhar. He decided to taste a coffee till she comes and ordered for one. Still there are no traces of her. He tried calling her, but he could only get a message that the phone is switched off. He really could not understand why she is doing all this.
He even emptied the coffee cup, but still she was not found. It’s been an hour waiting for her, so he decided to leave the place.
The next day morning, he got her call again.
Girl : Hello
Kishore: Hello
G : How are you?
K : Fine. Why didn’t you come yesterday?
G : I have been waiting for you for years. Can’t you wait for me for hours?
K : What?
G : Yes, Actually I wanted to talk to you an important matter yesterday.
K : What was the matter?
G : I will ask you straight. I want to share my life with you. Will you be my better half?
K : What?
G : Yes I Love you, I want to share my life with you.
K : Ha-ha, a good joke. I don’t know who you are, then how come do you expect me to accept your proposal.
G : You know me very well. Shall we meet tomorrow? Hope you will recognize me once you see me.
K : Why should I see you, Sorry I have some important work tomorrow. So I can’t spare time for you.
G : Hey dear, can’t you spare time for the one who loves you so much, for the one who lives for you, for the one who thinks of you every time, for the one who is ready to die for you, for the one who is going to be your better half.
K : Hey wait, I am yet to accept your proposal. So don’t decide me as your better half too soon.
G : (Thinks to herself, I have decided you as my better half, I am living only for you. Hope you will understand me soon)
K : OK, since you are requesting me, I will agree to meet you tomorrow
G : That’s like a good boy. Tomorrow same place same time, I will be waiting for you.

He hangs up the phone. He could not understand what is happening. He felt was it a dream. A girl who is unknown to him came forward and giving a proposal for being his better-half. He was really confused. Of course, being loved by someone is a great feeling. It gives a great enjoyment if we think that, there is someone in this earth who is living for us. But he also has a doubt whether anyone playing a game with him.
Since he could not recall her from his memory, He started to draw a imaginary face for her in her mind. He was thinking, whether she will be beautiful. He decided to meet her the next day. He also thinks that he should accept the proposal only if she is going to the most beautiful girl or else he should come back silently.
He spent the entire day thinking about her alone. The clock strikes three. He gets himself ready and moves to the Café Day. His heart was filled with lot of expectation. He enters the shop and his eyes were searching for the yellow chudidhar. In a distant table he could find a girl wearing yellow chudidhar and sitting alone. He could not find anyone else wearing yellow chudidhar. He guesses she should the girl he is searching for. He went and stood behind her. With a soft voice he told her, “Hi, I am Kishore”. On hearing his voice, she suddenly stood up and turned back. The moment he saw her, he was shocked. He was surprised on seeing her. He just went in front of her. He was not able to speak any words. But their eyes were speaking thousands of words. He felt that she is his girl and he should accept her proposal. The silence extends between them. Both of them were not able to speak any words. At last he broke the silence. He took her hands and told her that “I too love you. I am not going to leave these hands forever. This is for sure.” When he told these words, she started to cry out of happiness.
It was not her beauty which makes him to accept her. It was her Love which changes his mind. Her face helped him to recall everything. She was his school friend. She has already told her proposal when they were studying together. Since he was very much interested in building his career he thought such affair would distract him. So he didn’t accept her that time. Then he lost her contact. Now even after these long years, when he sees her still thinking of him, still loving him very much, he thought that it will be foolish to lose her.
She too was happy that at last he understood her true love. She was still not able to speak any words. Her eyes were questioning him “Why do you made me to wait these days?” His eyes too answered “Hey don’t worry. This long wait shows your true love” He also assures that he won’t leave her hands here after.

“As my father assured he never left her hands then. My father and mother loved each other so much. Their life was filled with lots and lots of love and care.” Kishore’s son was telling his children how his parents met, fall in love with each other and shared their life. Tears rolled down his cheeks, He was not yet relieved from the shock when he saw his father and mother dying in the bed holding their hands tight.

As he assured, he did not leave her hands even in his death.

SUCHITRA

Suchitra was very much happy that she is going to see her lovable brother and her family after a long time. She was doing her master degree in one of the prestigious institute of America. Her family is staying in India. A few days back she got her master degree and was ready to fly back to India. She loves her brother very much. He was her friend, companion and everything for her. He was her best friend than anyone. So she is very eager to see him back after this long gap. She boarded the plane to India. She was sitting in the plane and all her old and beautiful memories of her brother are flying in her mind.
Around 18 years back, it was May 25.
Kishore was in a sound sleep. His mother shouted at him to wake up, as it was too late. He pleaded his mother, “Mummy, today is Sunday. Please let me to sleep for some more time at least today” Then he suddenly realized that it was his friend’s birthday. He suddenly woke up and sent her a birthday message. A few days back they had fought with each other, and he decided not to talk with her unless she comes forward to talk first. Even then he decided to give her a wonderful gift for that birthday. And he hopes that at least after seeing that wonderful gift, she might come forward and speak to him. He always wants to spend his and his friend’s birthday in an orphanage. So he thought of spending that day too in an orphanage along with those special children. He decided to buy a lot of gifts and sweets for those children. He thought of singing a birthday song for her along with those children. The wishes from those special children will surely be a wonderful gift for her.
Kishore got ready within an hour. As he decided, he bought all the gifts and sweets for those children and went to the orphanage. The children were eagerly waiting for him. He distributed the sweets and gifts among the children. He could see the children enjoying the new toys and gifts. It gives him a great satisfaction. He too was enjoying with those children. Had his friend not fought with him, he would have brought her too to the orphanage. But he was the first one who started the fight. But he was not ready to talk with her first. He was really enjoying that day with those little children. He was playing with them, all those chubby, chubby games. He asked them to sing and dance. Each of the children showed their individual talents. He admired them all. He too accepts what Aamir said in his film ‘Taare Zameen Paar’ that every child is superior in his own talents. He feels what he said was really true.
Kishore was feeling himself as a child when he was with those children. It was time for lunch. He has decided to provide the lunch for those children. He asked all children to come for lunch and started to distribute the lunch. Every child was enjoying their day with Kishore, except a single girl who always kept herself away from everyone. He was having an eye on the girl from the morning. She always opts to be alone. When everyone was eating, she was sitting in a corner and was looking at the sky. He asked one of the orphanage in-charge about the girl and why she is always alone. She told him that the little girl came to the orphanage only a few days back. She lost her family in an accident and was brought to this orphanage by the police department. From the day she came here, she keeps herself away from everyone. She never mingles with any child. She always hesitates to eat. She always uses to sit in some corner and use to look up at the sky.
Kishore was eagerly looking at her. She is a small pretty girl. She might be of age five. He went to her and stand in front of her. Without willing to see him, she shifts to the next pillar and continued to see the sky. He followed her. He sat in front of her. She was not willing to see him. She continues to see the sky. He asks her “What is you name?” He did not get any response. He added “See what I have bought for you” and he showed her a handful of chocolates. She saw his hands and got interested towards the chocolates, after all she is a small child. He knows all children will love chocolates. When she was about to take the chocolate, he took off his hand without allowing her to take any. “Only if you tell me your name, I will give you chocolates”, he said. The little girl muttered “My name is Suchitra”. ”Oh, what a sweet name you have. This little sweet Suchitra surely deserves the chocolates” and he gave the handful of chocolates to her. She was very happy with those chocolates. She added with her pleasant voice “You know my father use to get me a lot of chocolates daily when he comes from his office. I love those chocolates. And my mum use to scold me for eating lot of chocolates.” Kishore asked her with a soft voice “Where are your father and mother now?” She told him, “Police uncle told me that they were dead and they won’t come back to me. He told me, here after I have to be in this place only. But I don’t like this place. I have to go back to my mummy.” Tears rolled down her cheeks. He could not control her. She was crying. He told her that he will give her more chocolates if she stops crying. Even then she didn’t stop crying. After a long trouble he made her to calm down. He then made her to eat the lunch. He himself feed her. He told many stories for her. She became his favourite child. He notes her that she always looks up to the sky and search for something in the sky. He once asked her “what are you looking at the sky?” She said “I am looking for stars in the sky. He exclaimed “Stars! But you could see the stars only at the night. You cant see them during daytime” She said “Ya that is what I am waiting for. I am waiting for the stars to appear in the sky.” He asked her “But why are you looking for stars, what is special in them” She said “My mother use to tell me, If some one dies they will go to the sky as a star. Since my mother and father are dead they will be there one among the stars. So I am searching for them. I want to tell them to come back or else I too want to go with them.” He saw her with a sad look and hugged her. Now he was about to cry seeing the little girl’s situation. He controlled himself.
Kishore spent the rest of the day with Suchitra alone. She attracted him a lot, with her sweet voice, with her childish talks. Whenever she calls him as brother, he forgets himself. She uses to talk a lot. She uses to tell him a big story for every question he asks. He asks her “Which class are you studying?” She told “I am studying in a U.K.G. in Vidya Mandir. Do you know brother, I have lot of friends their in my school. I use to get the first rank. And I am the class leader there. Everyday my father use to take me to school and my mother use to come in the evening to take back from my school. All teachers like me a lot. I too like them. I use to play, study, sing, dance and paint in the school. My class teacher use to complain to my mother that I am the most mischievous girl in the class. Will my mother come back to me?” This sudden question from her made him feel that how much she loves her mother and father. From her talk he understood that she must be the only child in their home. He understood that she really misses her parents a lot. He however consoled her saying that her mother will surely come back.
It was time for him to leave. He could not leave her. She attracted him so much. Even the orphanage in-charge was surprised with the little girl’s closeness with him. She has never been as close as this with anyone in the orphanage. But however he has to leave. So he decided to take depart from them. He told bye to everyone. Everyone sent him with a smiling face. But Suchitra alone was not ready to leave him. Again she went to a corner and made herself alone. Both of them waved their hands without the heart to leave each of them.
Kishore was thinking of the small girl all his way back. He feels really pity for her. He feels such a small girl shouldn’t have got into such a bad situation. He came back to his home. He was explaining all his experience with those children to their family members. He also explained about Suchitra. Everyone feel pity for her. He was then held up with his usual busy work. That night when he sees the stars in the night, he was thinking of what she says about the stars and laughs to himself. He then sent a mail to his friend, that day’s birthday baby, about how he spends her birthday. He attached all the photos he took with those children. He also attached the birthday song they sung. He told her that the wishes of those small children will always be with her. He hopes that she will at least talk to him after seeing that mail. Then next day, as soon as he woke up, Suchitra was the first one to come into his mind. He decided to leave all his usual work apart and to spend that whole day with her.
Kishore went to the orphanage. As soon as Suchitra saw him she ran and hugged him. He understand that not only he, she too was thinking of him only. He asked the orphanage in-charge permission and took her outside. He took her to ice cream parlour, shopping mall, exhibition and all the places she asks him. He was enjoying her company. She too was enjoying his company the most. At last she asks him to take her to her house. He was shocked. But due to her compulsion, he enquired about the address from the orphanage and took her to the house. As soon as she reached the house, she ran inside with tons of happiness in her face. But to her surprise she found some one else in their house. Her happy face crumbled into pieces.
She started to cry asking for her mother and father. He at last however consoled her and took her to his house. He introduced her to all her family members. Initially she was hesitating to mingle with them, but later she started to play with them too. She enjoyed her day. He feels that after a long time she must be enjoying her life. He doesn’t want to make her cry again. He doesn’t want her to feel the loneliness again.
He decided not to send her back to the orphanage. He talked with his parent about his idea of adopting her. Though they initially denied, later they too agreed to his decision.
Suchitra will now be one among the member of kishore’s family. They have decided to adopt this little child and give her a new life.
Kishore along with his parent took her to orphanage and told them about their decision. They readily agreed to their decision, since Suchitra was also interested in staying with them. They finished all the formality and took her along with them.

Coming back to the present

The plane landed in India. Suchitra came back to present from her dream world. And she was happy that she is going to see her family after a long time. She wanted to say tons and tons of thanks to her brother kishore. But she doesn’t want to say those in words. She just wants to show them with her love and care for their family.
To the surprise, even today the date is 25 May. It was the luckiest day in her life. It was the day; she met her brother for the first time in her life. She also knows that it was his brother’s friend’s birthday. He uses to celebrate this day, every year in some orphanage.This time she too will accompany her brother.



P.S.: I gave the name of the story as ‘Suchitra’, because it was the name I selected for my sister, when we planned to adopt a child. But unfortunately, the plan of adoption was dropped.
P.P.S.: The story is the mixture of real and imaginary incidents.

Wake Up

Wake yourself up,
you have a long way to go,
you have a long way to go,
before your life ends.

Along the lonely road,
along the crowded streets,
along the stone bedded land,
along the beautiful green grassland.
you have a long way to go,
you have a long way to go,
before your life ends.

The mountain may interupt,
the cyclones may disturb,
fight with a brave heart,
may not your desire be ephemeral.
you have a long way to go,
you have a long way to go,
before your life ends.

Move with your dreams,
move with your hope,
Time will teach you,
to unwind the maze of destiny.
you have a long way to go,
you have a long way to go,
before your life ends.

So wake yourself up,
you have a long way to go,
you have a long way to go,
before your life ends.

Happy to see my Country

Seeing their Leader
