'SECURITY'

-

 Raghu was sad!

Why was he sad? The reason was pretty simple. He had been fired from his job, which had given him a sense of security.
"I was so secure", thought Raghu.
About a week ago, he was given a notice, because of a virus he had not even heard about: CORONA!
So in the last one week, Raghu was getting up, lazily, with a motive to leave the bed. But what was this security which he was cribbing about?
He slowly got up and switched on the television. He saw the scary numbers, showing the number of new cases, across the world. He got irritated and changed the channel.
Now he saw, the latest news about this young actor committing suicide, and his girlfriend being questioned by the investigating agencies. But what was more irritating here, was the volume of the news reporter. He was literally, shouting,
"INSAAF CHAHIYE HUME!"
Irritating insaaf! The volume got him more pissed. As he was thinking about the condition, Raghu changed the channel.
He saw another news story about so many people losing their jobs because of the pandemic!
This gave him satisfaction. " Wow, There are others too!"
This news story, filled Raghu with a sense of satisfaction. Then, he heard some guy, giving an interview to the reporter,
"I will have to save my health. I do not need to come to the office, now. I guess, I am secured now!"
These words filled Raghu with happiness. He realised that he could rest now and not think about work for sometime. He lied down, back on his bed, pulled up the bed-sheet up to his chin and said,
"I am so secured now!"
Raghu slept with an unexplained happiness and a new sense of 'Security'!

The TEA garden visit!

Priyanka Vadra in a tea Garden in Assam  8:08 pm, Jorhat First of all, I am really sorry for not posting my blog this Sunday. I have been busy buying, setting my new house here. But meanwhile, I along with my wife took a short trip in the city, to the world famous tea gardens. I had always seen them in movies or television. In fact, recently I saw an image of Priyanka Vadra visiting a tea garden (image). Jorhat is not huge city, but it is a town of a good size, where all the points of my motive, have been just around 15 to 20 minutes. That is the size of the town.  We have recently bought a two-wheeler and it has come as a boon to travel across the city. We have bought a sky-blue coloured Vespa (Pic) and we are loving taking random trips on it. Our new Vespa. The Estate Entrance So this Sunday morning, we got ready and left for Cinnamara tea estate, Jorhat. It was established in the year 1850, by the British East India company. The land was owned by Maniram Dewam, who later took it fro

Memories of my 'Chhote Mama'!

Hyderabad,  August, 2020. When he was born, he was the younger brother. So, his parents named him 'Chhote'. Even his younger siblings called him 'Chhote' bhaiyya (younger brother). My chhote mama recently passed away because of Covid. It is painful, because it happened very soon, and from a man who was walking freely, to a straight pan dead body! I don't want to cry now, because I have admired my Chhote mama's (uncle) positive patience, always from a very young age. It is one feature of his personality which I had admired.  I am sharing some of the memories, which I have cherished all my life, some memories, which are pretty clearly imprinted on my mind, some time I had spent with him alone. Let us begin: MEMORY-1 Secunderabad, 1994 I was little! My mama had come to our place in Trishul Line, Secunderabad. These are some very clear visual memories of Trishul line. Our house was on the ground floor. He had come home.  He asked me, "Do you sleep outside?"

HAPPILY EVER AFTER...

-
Rohan sat in front of Sheetal with folded hands. He wondered if it was the worst moment of his life or not. Sheetal was looking at the cup of coffee in his hands. She had tears in her eyes. She could not cry aloud, as it was the canteen and she could not be quiet as it was hurting. It had hurt her really hard inside when Rohan told her that he had started liking someone else . After being in a relationship for more than a year, it was difficult to hear such a thing from the person whom she had loved the most. There was stunned silence. They were not talking, but still everything was being communicated. It was the weirdest of communications; the communication through little gestures- of hands, frowns, eye-lids, lips and may be the vibes between them. To break that communication for a second, Rohan lifted the cup to have a sip of coffee. As he started gulping the hot sip, his eyes met Sheetal’s. They were red, with the veins crying on the white surface of the ball. T
