Sentiments Scrawled

In a world of tall tales, tell tales, pratting and gibber jabber which most enjoy; there are others who take pleasure in indulging themselves in merging with the characters brought alive by notable authors in stories long and short, novels, fables, plays and fairy tales. It is the later lot that has kept me hooked to from quite a few years. If listening to fairy tales was what it all started with as a kid; reading novels, long and short stories, and plays was what it all progressed to. William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, R.K. Narayan, J.K. Rowling, Dan Brown, J.J.R. Tolkien, Jeffery Archer, Amish Tripathi, to name a few, and Autobiographies have been read by me with excitement and enthusiasm. At a time when my Sentiments about my life and the world were Scrawled and published in this very Blog; a thought of creating stories took life in my mind. With my very first fictitious story 'TEASED' emerged the idea of creating a blog to publish those tales untold by me. The ta

     When Srinivas returned to the Sun Set Point, the sun had already set. It was dark and all that was visible were the lamps lit in the arena and the half moon playing peek-a-boo amidst the thick clouds that were gliding fast in the night sky. The large crowd which had gathered during the day light in the area had drastically thinned down to a couple of people. He ran to the bench where he and Lata, his wife to be, spent the entire evening. Using the torch in his cell phone, he looked around the bench, under and over it, and also the length that they had walked back to the parking lot. But to his dismay he couldn't find the lost KEY. Where would he find the key in a place like Chennai? It would be a tedious task to find a lost key even if it were a village or even his back yard.      Srinivas had always admired Lata's dimpled smile. But he was afraid that he would be soon seeing her disappointed face. Lata had already called him over the phone twice inquiring about t

11 year old Stephan woke up in the wee hours and started his day by delivering news papers and milk on his bicycle going door to door in the city of Bangalore. He worked hard considering the situation his family was in and supported them with the measly wages that he earned. It was a time in the morning when other children would be soundly snoozing in their cosy bed. He used to render his services to our family as well. Stephan had to carry the burden of aiding his family by doing menial jobs. A job where he was not only answerable to the residents he approached every morning, but also his employer and family. The burden and the responsibility of his family had already set on his shoulders at a very young age so much so he couldn't remain a kid for long. While many children are pampered with long hours of sleep, good food and a tension free mind for the next day's survival; children like Stephan at an innocent young age are fed with thoughts of sacrifice and familial duties.
