The News

 The morning Newspaper and a cup of hot tea was always the favorite for Mr. Jeevan. Every morning started off the same way… that day was not new too.. his wife Jamuna brought him a hot cup of tea, he had a sip and started off with the news. In the third page was a small tabloid with a photo of a boy. The photo striked him. He kept looking keenly at the small passport size photo musing to himself, “Where have I seen this guy?” .


Suddenly he got it, he has seen the guy with his daughter and was told that he was her classmate. Jeevan got shocked and curious.. he went on.. the news said, that the guy was a super Romeo, who would make young girls to fall in his trap and get money from them frequently saying many reasons about his parents illness and so on. He was arrested yesterday evening after a father of a victim complained that his daughters gold chain was missing and he was suspicious about a guy whom he has seen with his daughter. Upon enquiry by the police the boy confessed and would be produced to the court on Friday


Jeevans heart raced, he called out his daughter… Vani… vani… come down… she did not respond… he raced into her room, Jamuna who was in the kitchen came running on hearing her husbands angry voice.. normally Jeevan seldom gets angry… and had never ever scolded his daughter.. She ran upstairs to her daughters room, to find a shocked Jeevan stand there and a letter in his hand… She sensed what would be in it, and went slowly near him, her throat went dry and tears came rolling down her cheeks... She looked at the letter. It said "Dad I am sorry...!"She cried out loud, he was silent, shocked and shattered.. he sat down on the bed and kept gazing at the letter. He never spoke..


Down in the hall.. the news paper lay still at the same place where it was placed and boys face in the paper shone.. But what Jeevan failed to notice was the very next report in the paper about an unidentified dead body of a girl found in the railway tracks... and police doubting it to be a suicide.....


The father would find out what happened to his daughter... but Why she did that? Was it because of remorse..... or guilt....? He would never know.....

Another train……!

This time we all had a good laugh!!!

I travel from my place to Beach station and from there need to get a train to Truvanmiyur, normally we would be needed to get the train from next platform or sometime the train in which we came will itself will go to Truvanmiyur, the announcement will reach us slower than the train, so it is always better to run and catch the next train…!

One such day the train stopped in platform 8 and we all both ladies and gents ran to platform 6 and caught the train and a big fight broke out in ladies compartment for seats for them and their friends (who may come and catch the train slowly). I sat near the window and to all our dismay the train from which we ran and got down was the first one to start!!!...... now again every one ran from this train to that and caught the train on time to reach office on time…! Though this might sound funny at first… think… of the troubles it is causing to common people without a proper and timely announcements..!

Train…. -> People people people….. they never change!!!

Yesterday I was on my way to office in train… it was very much crowded that even a drop of sand will not fall down if put from up…! (though it is wired to put sand on peoples head) me and a fellow traveler (gal of my age) were abt to get down in the next station tiruvanmiyur, when that incident occurred… It was Indranagar station and we were standing near the door(in the ladies compartment), as tr was no place to go in….. a mob of people who were seated comfortably until the train stopped came running to get down… one bully lady literally pushed this gal down (luckily she landed safe) and asked her to get back after people got down…. When every one has happily and lethargically got down she did not get a chance to get back in…. and the train started… she stood there…… What I don’t understand is this rush at the final minute and bullying people…! Why on Earth are the ladies this selfish????

Another day --> That was a very weary day after office.. that I longed for a seat in the train I was about to get it… so was every one else… and fortunately I did get a seat after a terrible elbow hitting head accident occurring to me by a fellow passenger..! I sat there rubbing my head the train crossed the next station, when a girl of age 25 or so.. got into the train with a baby of just 2 months in her one hand and a very big shopper in her other hand. She was desperately looking for a place to sit.. no one even headed her.. people couldn’t even adjust and sit and giv her a little place… I felt really bad..(not that I am an angel or so) I got up and asked her to sit.. before she could sit another women, sat in that place….! What on World is this!!!
