                                                    The Pathos of The other kind She had finished washing the pots in the kitchen.It was late evening but because of the inclement weather the evening looked dismal. The lightning and thunder creating a ruckus which made her heart race in some unknown fear.She had to leave by the  early morning flight  for her native land. She had come to her son to stay for around two months. Right now nothing passed her mind but only an anguished desire to spend the last moments in his company. She had waited for him to come a little earlier  from his job it being her last evening with him as she was leaving the next day but he came at his usual time. She tried to fathom him but saw the same indifferent look. She  concentrated on her luggage and asked him to weigh the suitcases which he did promptl...

                                                             The Lady In The Wheel Chair.  She was still not feeling at ease. It seemed aeons before she again sat on her lap top for a little while she went blank but like the person who had suffered a heart attack and was being  continuously  resuscitated  till he got immediate treatment, she likewise spurred her senses and let them not be atrophied. Her fingers raced on the key board…She was disorganized but she continued....what…oh God nothing was emerging.....she panicked her brain was getting sterile…no.. It was unbearably hot. Asha looked out of her window  it still looked steely hot outside though the day had waned.The parting light of the setting Sun had diffused into a blunt shine which was a mixture of grey and white which gave rise to a pervasiv...

The garden around her was in full  bloom.It was spring. It was spring when she had  met Amit a suave  and graceful boy who with his somber voice  and attractive persona stole her heart. She was quite a bindas  girl and engrossed in her world of  books  and academics. But Amit took hold of her imagination and all he...

     Ram Kumar was exceptionally over excited. He had finally got through  the noose of red tapism and got his visa made. He might have checked his  rack- sack  several times in order to be sure about the safety of his paasport. Luckily he was assigned  the counter where one north- eastern officer was in charge and he could manage well because these officials have fair knowledge of the native tongue. He was instructed by his son to carry all his IDs  and other proofs of his financial assets to get through the formalities.He had also instructed him to apply for a shorter period in order to secure visa hassle free.  Since  mentioning  a long duration could   make them suspicious of his intensions of over stay in the country.
