Ma and Pa if you have not told  anyone about your  25th  wedding anniversary then .... how did  members of the young and old group come to know ? Preeti and Pushkari chorused unanimously .'Dearies I myself is surprise 'V said with lot of amusement in his voice.
Hello sir Good Morning ! Shanty says with a wink as she  passes by them .   


This irritates him at lot .Preeti and Pushkari's face drops down and becomes pale . They immediately run out of  the jogger's park with the tears flowing down their cheeks profusely .

Siddhartha is a rag picker .He openly wonders why he is going such a menial task and sees a car passing by muddy pond and that splashed muddy water on him. 'Oye' he shouts.
Bulbul his girlfriend laughs at him .Picking a crush coke tin she says  " Siddhartha  you being intelligent how you can lose anger over these small petty things that happen to us daily  as you have accepted you are not born with a silver spoon".'Yeah Yeah I know so they can do anything they wish  I suppose 'he said to Bulbul giving her cocky look by coming close to her .This makes Bulbul lose her control and she ends up falling on him. Oh Babu side please! Someone from behind exclaims .Turning towards the voice before he mutter a curse he sees the owner of the car. "Good Morning Saab "Siddhartha greets him as he sees the owner coming out of the car. He quickly gets up and starts picking the crashed coke tin, the wine bottle, top of thumbs up bottle and a packet of chapattis lying around the car and fills them in his big black bag. Swinging around his shoulder he is about to leave at that very moment the car owner calls him again Oh Babu listen toh!.

Siddhartha gets irritated he turns around and barks a question at "Ab Kya hai?"Child come here I have got some more rag for you .Immediately Siddhartha runs towards him and open his big black bag to fill with the car owner 's rag. As he started filling it with the car owner's rag he sees some toys and some book along with it .Slowly with his misted eyes he looks at the car owner and says "Sir how come you know my taste?"Hmm because my daughter Sheena knows about your likes and dislikes and yesterday my daughter overheard your conversation. Oh I see your Sheena Didi's father Mr. Sameer Shah .Namaste sir my name Siddhartha and ......he stammered to say what he was.
Laughing at the boy Mr. Sameer Shah said "Siddhartha my child do your job well and  study well "These books of Sheena Didi will not only educate you but also will help you get a professional degree. But you should do both the things with honesty .O.k. sir bye see you soon Siddhartha said and went home with Bulbul waiting for him at the entrance of the rag depositing centre .He sees Bulbul and smiles at her .Sorting all the rags he looks at his girlfriend Bulbul with twinkle in eyes and says "Bulbul you know Sheena Didi is best Didi as she understands my aptitude so today onwards I would study in night like other in this centre do "What do think of it?.He asks with a cheer in his voice
"Do do as if you are going to do something big" Bulbul says with a smirk .Hearing her words his heart breaks  and he goes away to another area far away from Bulbul as he could she turning into a chorni.
Next day before he leaves the area he picks the half eaten, half baked, empty bottle rags from the area where Sheena Didi lives. While picking up the rags Sheena who climbs down the stair case and towards her car forces him to make a promise that he would not go astray."Didi I will never do wrong things in life that will taint my beautiful name Siddhartha which my unfortunate mother has kept for me "He says and leaves that area forever by his rags of the day in the rag depositing centre.

Today Siddhartha has become local guide for foreign tourists by doing his job of picking the rag off the streets .The knowledge and reading has brought to this level he smiles at himself and thanks his stars for giving an elder sister here as he finds his elder sister in Sheena Didi.

Mira sitting down in the park, looking at   the kids playing wandered about here and there aimlessly as she is waiting for her mother who had gone out .Alas that day she didn't carry her house key.
Feeling frustrated she kept on calling her mother up teem times .Her mother some excuses that we are here or we nearing the place .Mira lived Swanky building where there were all young married couples having Toddlers and a lot of would be parents .Seeing this she felt happy for a little while as always yearned for a friend .That day she saw a man smiling at her .She too smiled at him. Later on she starts feeling   disgusted waiting near flat for parents .She went downstairs and sat in garden .It is around 7 pm the skies became dark. Then when light in the park are switched on by the night duty watch men .She sees Aditya who is   in his late 30s playing cricket with all tiny toddlers .It is  so beautiful to see  the sight .As tiny tots play with plastic bats  by making others smile .

Aditya: What so funny about me?
Little Aryan: Nothing play no ...... he says irritated.
Aditya: Accha, then are you making faces at me?
Little Aryan: Accha Woh that's because you are the first person from this entire building to play with us especially me.
Aditya: Why? So
Little Aryan: I am good boy na and help Mira auntie na as she slight problem in her leg and a man had broken her heart by calling off the engagement and neither pa and ma are talking with  her as they don't like her and her attitude towards life .
Aditya: Stunned by his answer .What do you mean by that?
Little Aryan: Are Uncle just look at me, my family is a bit traditional with modern and always my parents told to speak the truth .But one day when I was playing that blunders group. They were tell lies about Ayesha so I tried to defeat her stand point but Alas I was removed from the group and other groups like the Power puff of angels and he-man headed by Anaya and Sid did not accept me as I spoil everybody secret and top of that Iam Mira auntie's best friend so they don't take to me much. Bas because of this bloody good nature I don't have any friends here .But now I am quite busy with activities which my parents put me in.
Aditya : Hearing  these  profound words from the little boy   is  dumbfound .As he sees him  throws his bat off on the ground and run to  Mira who is  sitting  all alone by herself  on  the bench of the park  only to hug and talk to her . It is only due to the strong vasanas of the child to have such a noble thought of helping other.

--------------------------------------------***************------------------------------
Finally Aditya who walks towards them is shocked to find that little Aryan's Mira aunty is none other than his dumped fiancée Mira .When Mira sees him she is stunned and little take aback... She leaves the place as her mother had returned home. Her mother gives him smirking looks at him that makes Aditya feel little awkward. Little Aryan bids his goodbye to Aditya .When his parents come and take him away from the park.
Aditya feeling awkward switches on his laptop unknowingly to him tears roll down his cheeks as he felt ashamed of him being an man .Even though he was a big super hero but he had not right to hurt women especially Mira by calling off the engagement that day he remembered his a story called the path of destruction from Ramayana which has been narrated by grandmother immediately after he dumped his fiancée .But the story felts properly in   his current situation. Because  he  listens  to  his sister who  is clever like Soorpanaeka  .As he has always been  blinded  by desire  for hot bimbos who  have fabulous curves and that is reason  he couldn't think  beyond body level. .
But then upon realizing his mistake he decided that he will go and ask for his forgiveness and try being an ideal husband to Mira by marrying her. To go and convince her and ask her for a second chance isn't a bad idea at all he thoughtfully nodded. Switching off his laptop, wiping his tears and patting off the dust from the pants .He marches out of the park towards her residence.  He did not wish to   become a like Ravana of this century as he always wanted to be like a hero saving people life.
Mira stared  at sky blankly and wished for some miracle to happen now as her own brother has locked them  into a room with dare minimum light along with little Aryan in an unknown place in South Mumbai. Mira shouted at him and" O dear brother you are sinister and Kamsa for this new era and you are not going to living long as your own misdeeds will kill you, mark my words". Picking her little  crying nephew in her arms she tries to coax him by saying some hero will come and save us but the little Aryan did not stop crying instead the volume crying only increased  by making him tired and finally he went  to sleep with a pale face. Mira only just wished and hope that someone should come to rescue them from this unknown place. Tears welled up in her eyes and misted her vision while she was caresses her innocent nephew who has   been pulled into this for no fault.


Aditya who reaches her residence is stunned to see her mother in tears and upon enquiring them about Mira and little Aryan whereabouts they narrated the entire story as to   how her brother treated her and took away all the happiness which she had. On hearing this he feels hurt for Mira and asked those for forgiveness for his action .They immediately hugged him and "Aditya my son we have forgiven you as you a gem of person who has a golden heart". Go and save fiancée Mira but be careful in dealing as she is tough coconut to crack they said mock grinning at him. Touching their feet and keeping his laptop bag on the cushion he leaves their residence for this impossible mission. Before he set out for this impossible mission he had cross the seas of traffic. As Mumbai is a city that never sleeps and it was peek hour where all office goers are returning home like flock of birds. Even though he thought of turning but his guilt for his action done knowingly haunted him. While waiting in the traffic he remembered all the happening of the day as to how he came to park and how little Aryan spoke words of wisdom while playing cricket with him, his awkward meeting with Mira in a strange situation, then he is reminded of a story from Ramayana and the strange act on the part of her brother like Kamsa. He realized his wait was over to attain wisdom /to think beyond. Toying with an idea in which is playing in his mind for while. 

He makes a countless number of enquiries regarding them. He finally reaches the unknown place in South Mumbai. The place is quiet dark and staircase is dingy. He climbed the staircase slowly only to find little Aryan and Mira being verbally assaulted by her brother like the flames  of fire .After thundering on her for a while he left the place .Without having any hope  for some hero to come and save them. She sat there while little Aryan was sleeping on the bamboo cot. Little Aryan could understand every bit of what his father told Mira auntie but he reminded silent. Out of anticipation he tried to do something. As   they wish leave the place easily. But all his efforts went in vain. Aditya's arrives at the scene.
Aditya: Hey camp what's up?
Little Aryan: Shrugging his shoulders displayed his displeasure of being asked such question in the current scenario.
Mira:"Can't you see in what condition we are in" she sarcastically pointed out to him.
Aditya:'I am going to take you both out from this place'.
Little Aryan: Stunned with disbelief at his words and looks at Mira with his blinking eyes.
Mira: Ha-ha the so called darpok who broke my heart just for the sake of the family and their   happiness that you are going save us she exclaimed aloud.


Seeing them playing TT with words little Aryan gets fed up and shouted "Stop it". Sensing the command in the voice .They kept their egos aside and starts working like a team so that they can get out of the place. Little Aryan's father had dishoom fight with Aditya. Amidst their fight little Aryan gets hurt and is succumbed to serve injuries that worsen his condition. Coming out of the dark place and Mira taking him to hospital for treatment saw her brother's swollen face. On reaching the hospital Little Aryan is happy that his wait to see his father to change for good is over .He now hopes to live a peaceful and contented life with him. He could    see his father getting worried for him through his plastered forehead. Seeing the other side of her brother, Mira realizes something and smiles at him.

On her way back home, Aditya asks for forgiveness for his actions done knowingly in the past and woos her back into his life. Making Mira his, Aditya feels like as if his long wait for goodness and wisdom to fill his heart was over .Seeing him smile and remembering the other side of her brother makes Mira realize that her wait for the lesson in art of forgiving and hope to live a peaceful life with Aditya was over.

True Meaning of Love and Sacrifice

Krishna and Radha,  are  best friends from Kindergarten days .Time flew by making them inseparable. Until one day, he left the school as his father felt that Radha's school is not up to the mark. Later on he puts Krishna in some hi-fi school where all the extra -curriculum activities are  included as part of their syllabus .Initially Krishna found it difficult  to accept it .Radha too also found it very difficult  to adjust without Krishna her only friend. But she get  adjusted to it. As her friend  start teasing her by calling/giver her names like Lila or Juliet or something else which  she did  not like at all .
After a while Krishna got a kind of life which he never imaged  .He graduated from London School of Business  ,then entered into his father business and progressed in that direction. Until he met a girl named 'Radhika' which his father has chosen for him as his life partner. He gets engaged to her  that  makes Krishna realizes his mistake of not keeping in touch with  his Radha .He runs out of the house to the cottage where his grand mum Devyanti Iyer lived  by  making others look puzzled at his behaviour . While coming towards his grand mum  cottage his mind went   back to that day where his Radha tried to stop him by interpretation the rhyme  "Johnny Johnny  yes Papa ,
                                                       Eating sugar no Papa,
                                                       Telling lies  no Papa,
                                                       Open your mouth  Ha ha ."
As "Krishna Krishna yes Radha,
  Eating Makam no Radha,
 Telling lies no Radha ,
 Open your mouth Ha Ha."

But he did not stop for her and went ahead  with his father's decision  by hurting her love and faith. It has been years  since he has seen Radha. He did not try to reach out to her. But when he entered his grand mum's cottage he finally could see  Radha  who has brought her  two sky bags along with her. As she took ashirwad  from his grand mum Devyanti before leaving aboard. Suddenly turning towards the voice , her eyes misted on  seeing Krishna after so many years  .Looking into his dark brown eyes  she said "You look different now, anyway congrats on your engagement ".And stands next to Krishna's grand mum.  While Radha is about to leave for the airport . She is stopped  by Krishna who was standing in between her and the door.

'Don't go naa' Krishna pleaded with her .Krishna voice was undoing .She turned and look for refuge in Devyanti 's pallu . Devyanti pulled  Radha in front and nodded at her .Immediately Radha  went forward and hugged him. Krishna 's father   who is following him finally reaches his mother den and found Radha and Krishna in  an warm embrace.Totally shocked to see  Radha here  again . 

He thundered like a lion  .Radha and Krishna smiled at each other looking  at him.Krishna 's father looked quiet funny when he roared.

 With tears welling up their eyes . Krishna and Radha felt like heaven .They have been in quiet  ecstatic mood  .So they went  to celebrate  their reunion  by going  to the nearby dabba. On reaching the nearby dabba   , Krishna finds  his fiancee standing too close with a guy .This slight  angers  him a lot and much  before he steps forward to punch the Guy  .Radha  tenderly said "Love is sea of hearts and no force ".Krishna  turns  his face towards  Radha and asks  her what do  you  mean by  that?.Today you are getting annoyed ,when you saw her somebody else's arms   but do you that she too was forced to get  engaged with you as she loved her family  so she sacrificed her love and the guy who is standing next to  her broke the scared vows with me  for the same  reasons   but they are not truly sacrificing  like me She mocking said. With her  face closed with her  own hands  Radha  cries  aloud like a baby for some hope in her life   .  Hearing this Krishna  sits on the with the thump on the  plastic chair . 

Chaos was created when Radhika  snapped Radha when  she heard her voice for no reason on her part . Feeling helpless she went to the airport only to find Krishna following her leaving his entire world behind him by breaking his engagement with Radhika. Devyanti looked at Radhika and said "You don't look like Radha and you deserve chipku Shard who hurt Radha for no fault of hers .

Thank God my Krishna got to know true colours of you and your so called good natured  Shard  ..Radhika you can't match  with Radha in any respect  as she is a  very kind lady who has an ability to forgive people on the contrary Radhika you are  a witch who can take any form and change people mind like do did with chipku Shard who divorced his only beautiful wife"  By making feel  her helpless and hopeless you think  that you  both have achieved the desired goal. 

Hmm..... If yes  then I have no  comments to say but then  don't think you both have sacrificed each others love for your families sake .Because you don't know the true meaning of  the words " Sacrifice and  Love" and you will never understand what is the power of these two beautiful words.  And if these words are abused then the consequences are adverse .This can also lead to destruction in terms of  breaking of the  heart, faith in an  relationship , Trusting and other aspects of human beings.The destruction part you might be very well aware dear Radhika so you took such a grave step without thinking about the consequences.You not only broke Radha heart but also her faith in this sacred relationship .I don't what lies ahead of them.But one things you both can't be happy because of the  fears that which you both have.What fear do you have I don't know but......my eyes and hair had not old in one day . 

I can read what is going in minds.Just go and confront this in front of family and live in peace. Saying so she marches towards an Taxi Stand and boards into a Taxi and instructs the driver to take her to the 'International Airport Terminal 5A '.So as to stop Radha from going abroad along with Krishna who ever ready to leave his world behind for her sake.  Listening to the  lecture which his mother was giving  Radhika and chipku Shard , Krishna 's father feels ashamed of his action and he too goes to the airport to stop them from leaving this country .

On reaching the airport , he finds Radha crying in his mother Devyanti's arms. Caressing her head Krishna's father whispers into Radha ears
"Krishna Krishna yes Radha,
  Eating Makam no Radha,
 Telling lies no Radha ,
 Open your mouth Ha Ha."

Hearing these words and  getting some tender love from Krishna's father makes Radha 'Stunned in disbelief '.The fact  that he is the real father of Radha...... and only the stars and sky  knew about it.And did not want his daughter go throw the pain which he gone through by losing her once.

The Doctor , Operation Table and Me



Image result for doctor with child clipart
Photo Source: clipartof.com


'Amma ' I called out trying to gain strength from within.But that day Amma came close and squeezed by and said 'Don't worry by child everything will  be alright'.I swallowed a big lump in her throat and looked at the ceiling .I felt running away .For the first time I was  in tears as all her bravo fled  when nurses took me to the operation theatre.   Don't think it was fun journey .The Operation Theatre stared at me  in joy .It was a dim little room .As I went near the Operation Table  the table came me a cold look.I feared at lot and looked around some familiar  face .But none of them were  there .Feeling dejected I finally allowed nurses to put on the cold bed IE Operation Table.I was wrapped in green  clothes I felt like a chill run down by spine   as the devil astheasia   was injected   by the doctors around me   even after  my countless amount of protesting.I felt  like  screaming for help as none of the doctors and nurses were making feel comfortable.Until the main doctor came in and stood besides and commended the others doctor to be gentle with  me as I was merely a 3 year old .

Standing near my head the main doctor smiling asked me "Are  you Afraid of this things happening around you in the darkness"."Won't  you be my  brave girl".
Looking at him with black expression .I just gave a warm smile at him and allowed them perform the action as I went to another  world because that  day I realized that  I won't  have a normal childhood like others had as I was going to unique .After performing operation on me for about  8 hours  for some hip joint dislocation . The main doctor again asked  smiling  me "Are you Afraid of this happening  in the darkness around you  " .At that  point of I could not  understand whatever he was saying and I just replied that I am fine and was taken to my to my hospital room. First It was pleasant but as the days  grew by  I wanted to get out of this place.


To know more about hip joint dislocation  please visit http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=A00352.


But Today when I rewind those memories now a shiver run throws my spine and I wish no other child   should suffer like this .
