'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 to...

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?...

"Yes, Affirmative!"

-
The morning with that soothing sunrise, good enough to bid the sleepy eyes goodbye, asks me a simple question, 'are you ready for the war?' I get up and answer, 'yes, affirmative'! Morning laughs and says, "ARE YOU SURE?" I make up my mind and start the day. That distant college through a bike ride, those colleagues with shaky hugs and kisses. That subject which i don't like, that teacher with a frown set right. I ask myself, "Are you sure?" The noon with the sun overhead, trying to push me back to those sleepy eyes. The labs with that stunned darkness, ask me the question again, "Are you sure?" i think again and i search for the answer deep inside, it is still, 'yes, AFFIRMATIVE!' i lie down on the bed those questions again, the words 'affirmative' and 'yes' ask me again, "Are you sure?" i don't say a thing, i close my eyes and look back at those bike rides to college, those shaky hugs and kisses, ...
