Three Wishes of the clever Raven

Raven  sitting on a tree found it difficult to move an inch as he gets hurt while flying high and fighting with an eagle that hurt his wife's wings. Sitting down in armchair wearing his spectacles he reads the newspaper that read" Ravens are quiet dangerous to our society." Reading this his blood boiled throwing the newspaper down .He sees the report and straight attacks him.

The reporter being defenceless is hurt and taken to the nearby hospital after being attacked by the Raven .After a few days a fearless reports writes about the dangerous attacks of the Raven under the same heading "Raven's are quiet dangerous to our society " .Reading this Raven comes to attacks but stops as he marvelled the guts of the reporter and said

"Dear Reporter, could you please fulfil my three wishes. a. please let tree be there.b. Plant more trees and create vegetation. c. Please stop building high rise towers so as we can fly high." 

Hearing these words the reporter is stunned and nodes at him that weaves a golden carpet For the Raven his heart .

The Revenge


Photo Source :www.fotosearch.com

Otto Didi ‘exclaimed ANA her next door neighbourhood shaking her arms vigorously and enthusiastically
Kya Ho Gaya Hai? MIRA asks Ana raising an her eyebrow and seeing the enthusiasm in her face as if something good has happened


ANA………………….MIRA rhetorically asks her “DID YOUR IRON MAN PROPOSED TO YOU OR WHAT .She laughs at her when ANA makes face at Mira remarks
DUFF!!!!!!!! Ana exclaimed wrinkling her nose “It’s not about ANDY”
Then what ANA? Mira asks cautiously   
“A VISITOR HAS COME TO SEE YOU “ANA answered smiling sheepishly at her.

Mira Malhotra starts racking her brain and starting think about who the visitor is and is his/her intentions? Because whatever she has all her greedy and selfish relatives have taken it away from her and she did not have anything to give this visitor (in the terms of property).

Now what she has to give THE VISITOR who has come to see her she wonders   and goes for a bath. She sees a shadows that follows her its scares her at first and later on it shocks her and embarrass her .When she comes out to see   what’s going around her house she finds herself in another strange situation .She swallows a lump in the throat as Mira finds her enemy standing opposite of her with a wicked smile on his face.

ON SEEING KRISHNA MENON the ruthless and charismatic devil - her past in front of her she feels like her entire world is toppled upside down like it had been 3 years back then when she had felt shattered and after the incident that took place in front of her .She was force to leave PUNE where she was heads over heels in love with Krishna. 

He  who have become ruthless now after the incident which was  caused by one of his close family members  and felt bad as she could not help him because  her father YUG Malhotra was dead  by then as  he could not handle the  shock of this  incident that happened in the society for 3 rd time  under his supervision  and after Krishna’s accusation   .

  Her eyes widened in DISBELIEVE, WONDERMENT AND ANGER. When she see her best friends ANA AND SUSANNE standing next to him    her body started vibrating in anger and mind has been snapped off her brain has stopped functioning her limbs have become numb  

“NO NO” Mira said as she sees her ANA and SUSANNE. It  can not  be possible  you  both also  ditched my trust and faith which I had on you both  like  the way in which Deepak Iyer and his wife  Shalini Malhotra Iyer did to be me  by selling property to the ruthless Krishna Menon  in front of my eyes   which my father YUG MALHOTRA made in memory of his wife my mother Radha Malhotra  after she left for heavenly abode. She always was one good soul not like MRS SHAKUNTLA MENON the GREEDY OLD WOMEN who has everything but wants still more.

THAT’S ENOUGH HE SHOUTED AND MARCHED TOWARDS MIRA TO SHAKE HER.

WHY? “I CAN NOT  SAY JUST BECAUSE SHE IS YOUR MOTHER AND YOU HAVE NO THE GUTS TO HEAR THE TRUTH AS ALL THE SOCIETY MEMBERS ARE SUPPORTING HER  OR ITS JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR WEALTH OR JUST BECAUSE SHE DID NOT LIKE ME AS YOUR GIRLFRIEND  OR JUST BECAUSE SUSANNE  TUMKAS MADE THE DIFFERENCE IN FRONT OF YOUR MOTHER  OR SOMETHING ELSE”  she asks  him .


 SUSANNE came in and rescued him by saying ‘It’s none of her business’  as she sees Mira shrug and smiling in wonderment to see how much Susanne loves him   KRISHNA I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE YOU SO JUST GO AWAY PEOPLE she states as she sees   them discussing  the details 
regarding the sale of property with Krishna  before leaving  for her bath she straighten her backs and looks straight at KRISHNA and says “Beware ” the word that had many meanings to it .But in this current scenario what it meant  to he get totally  confused  and leaves her  place  forever without a backward glance.

I WANT YOU TO JOIN  THE COMPANY  BACK ,he says .Sorry not possible I am not and I do not   like  to come back to a  place where I am  humiliated by people  who work for you .

I am happy here saying this she leaves for her office.

Finally after locking her house their gaze met and she gave a warm smile that smile of hers stirred his inner being  as she never expected anything from him .Even though he hated her  but the last lines  ………………stirs  his heart unconsciously .


Putting his thought about her and her statements  aside he went  to his office and starting working endless, taking calls ,video conferences  ,attending and scheduling meeting for upcoming projects  and mostly important   destroying  THE CRUEL DEEPAK IYER  empire  who had  an ability to destroy  and shatter his    dreams which he had  designed and then ............  took his entire family away from him.   

KRISHNA took a vow to destroy entire DEEPAK IYERS Empire and make him pay a huge price  for it.


PS :Please read my stories at your risk as it my not interest many.

This comparison continued until one day Shree's company closed down forcing Shree to remind indoors. Shree felt like as if her wings have chopped off and to make Princess Swati is a tedious take .Shree wished for some miracles to happen in her life .Today she missed her other twin daughter Smirti who used to willing work for her. But because of her pride and ego she sent Smirti to a boarding school against her daughter's wish. She recollected those incidents and buried them deep inside her heart.
There were days where volcano inside her heart would erupt out .But this is what life taught her /made her realized that two hands are always required for clapping without another hands support the clapping is of no use as it would  not create a perfect sound and ambience .Though they have automatic machine .But Swati and her father Krish never bother to throw their in washing machine so that Shree would  find  it easily to  carry on with some other work as she had the entire household's responsibility on her. Finally feeling bog down she cries in front of lord to show her way as she is losing all her energy. Smirti who had come down to her place for attending a seminar just saw her mother's plight and shed two drops of tears.
 
Later on after few days, Smirti suggest her mamma to go a vacation "Hey mom why don't go on a vacation to rejuvenate yourself from this daily mind bogging routine". To this her mother smiles at her and says 'No dear your father won't have achieve whatever he has achieved today  in his life if he hadn't completely concentrated on his career '.Hmm what use of such a sort achievement if he can't spare anytime to do  his share  your household/laundry work .Thank God I went to an boarding school where  the words 'sharing is caring  'is  expressed in  true spirits and no one treat a person with disrespect like this especially male species in the boarding school  they went way out to others .Hearing these words from Smirti's mouth her father who had been working his room  understand the true meaning of  the word 'Sharing' and from that he day  he started helping his wife Shree with her Laundry work but setting a great example to upcoming leaders in his company.

Blessing in Disguise
Four year ago
It was a pleasant day in Mumbai. Sonia 's  mother  Radica had gone to bazaar and grandmother had  gone to temple  to attend some Parvachan. Sonia used to  not like these kind of stuff which her grand mom used like. As she was a party animal .Those were hay days when Sonia was centre of attraction but after Shyam rejection she wasn't the same dynamic person . Shyam was the apple of people's eyes in Dwarka Nagari the   swanky building in Mumbai which was two street away from her residence .Shyam was getting ready for bath . Until he heard the news of Radica Auntie's death He immediately ran down to her place where Sonia lived ."Her grand mom stared at him and promised herself that  she will  never allow  Shyam who had  ruined her daughter-in law life  to come close to any of her granddaughter 's". she thought warily as  she allowed Shyam to enter  the crematorium  to attend Radica 's last rites function.

Presently
Shyam knew from his close source that Radica  was Sonia's mother   Mrs. Radica  act  pull Sonia's  father down as he  Xyz multinational company  tender which she wanted to give her boyfriend i.e. him But Alas it couldn't happen as Mr. Seth was a good man having a golden heart. But  after Radica death his live was hay wired .As he started to drinking and partying  a lot.   Shyam hated himself for  being so shallow that he had  rejected Sonia over her mother Radica as she was more attractive to look .He felt ashamed of himself and left the place .Sonia who was looking lost  .Looking at the way Sonia was taken away from the place his heart twisted .Finally Shyam had decided to take her away from her family who were giving her shabby treatment .But how was  he going to do it was a big question ? he thought frustratingly .

Finally Shyam  thought of a plan  ,he called up his pal' Raj 'in this regard. The plan was simple to kidnap Sonia from the Business seminar which is going to be held in London. Raj looked at his friend with great regard. 'It's quiet risky Shyam' Raj tensely said. No.....Everything in life is challenge ,so I am ready for this risky challenge Shyam  smiling said .But what are you going to do? Raj enquires as Shyam packs his bag and ready to take the next fight to London. While leaving home for airport Shyam looking at Raj says the answer to your question is 'Disguise'. I will disguise as Sandy -the diplomat of the state  for Sonia's sake .After reaching the airport Raj and Shyam exchanged teary glances while bidding their adieus.

On reaching London, he disguised himself as Sandy--the diplomat of the state  went to the party which was been thrown by Mr. Seth along with his  brand new wife days before Business seminar .In the mark of their achievements which they had got , when Sonia was heading his Xyz multinational company . While enjoying the party , he started searching for Sonia .Sonia who was lost in thought standing  in extreme corner  of the party hall staring at sky through the glass windows .On Locating Sonia he pressed a handkerchief  filled with chloroform on  her face. She fell unconscious .Shyam lifted her and took her away in midst people enjoying the party .As Mr. Seth saw real Sandy enter the party  hall with his mother late in night   , he felt something  wrong amidst and frantically starting searching for Sonia  .When he came to Shyam  who had disguised has Sandy had kidnap  his daughter .He ran  out to wage a war  him. Alas! he couldn't as he was stopped by his own mother who didn't like him anymore .Seeing a person named Sandy  taking her ,Sonia couldn't believe her eyes as she felt like Krishna who had come rescue her Rukumini from family who didn't like her especially from the diplomat of the state Sandy . Sonia felt happiness bubble up .'Are you the really Sandy who is supposed to get married to me ' she asked him as Mr. Seth tried to pull her by pushing his mother on the ground  .Nah I am Shyam.  He said while marching towards Mr. Seth .Much before he could start his fist fight with her father as he was having animalist behavior towards week and meek .  Sonia stopped him by saying "This merchant of Mumbai does not understand the true meaning of quality mercy like you do".

The day of seminar dawned , making Mr. Seth realize that  he was the one and only  person  who  disguised himself  as happy man who wants more from life but in actuality  he was the  most unhappiest person in the world. In order picture himself or make him feel happy  he remarried a women who did not want to  mother Sonia but  only wanted his wealth  He thought warily as he saw Sonia smiling at Shyam's antics .Which made him feel jealous of Shyam the  great business man who was making her laugh .Which felt like blessing his disguise for his daughter

The Fruits of Actions- A short story



                   The Fruit of Actions

Picture Prompt @ The Book Club

 

 

Maharani Mira looked up at the tree and saw the brightly shining apple. It was at an impossible height. None came when she called out for help, before she tried to reach out to the apple herself. Only the tree grew taller and the apple got out of reach. She tried harder, jumping first and then throwing stones at the apple. But the apple was constantly out of her reach. So much the tree had grown that it frightened the hell out of her. Mira was so tired on her way back to her Mahal that she lost her way.

Walking on unfamiliar roads, she came across a hut. She knocked on the door asking, “Is anyone there?” No reply came forth. As she walked away in disappointment, she heard the door open suddenly.

Startled, she walked back only to find that there was no hut where it had been before. It had disappeared into thin air. Scared out of her wits, Mira fainted on the spot. She woke up the next afternoon to find herself under the same apple tree.

Mira sat there wondering about the recent events in her life – the apple tree that kept growing magically; her losing her way in the woods and the hut that had been visible for a time but became invisible soon after. She couldn’t understand anything.

That’s when she heard the Akashvani: “Dear Mira, you are such an innocent Maharani. You haven’t understood what nature wants to make you aware of.”

“What does nature want to tell me?” enquired Mira.

'Then listen.............” the Akashvani said. "You were playing with the Maharaja when you suddenly fell down and died instantaneously. The Maharaja prayed to the Gods to give back your life. But when you were granted life, you left for hunting immediately despite the Maharaja’s advice. The magical tree represents you and the magical apple represents the fruit of your actions. You left home without heeding your husband’s advice and lost your way as a result. For the same reasons, you are unable to find your Mahal; it’s invisible to you same as the hut that became invisible.”

Folding her hands in anguish, Maharani Mira asked, “Is there a solution to this? How can I get back to my Mahal and the Maharaja?”

"Yes, by your patience, tolerance and honesty," said the Akashvani.

"Oh I see! Isn't there an easier way?" She enquired.

Laughing aloud, the Akashvani disappeared.

Mira found herself back in her Mahal, only it appeared different. No one seemed to recognize her. They all treated her like a stranger. The Maharaja’s behavior was also strange. She waited patiently, with tolerance and honesty for a long time till the day she decided to leave the Mahal again. A heavenly apple fell on her lap as a reward for her actions. Having the divine fruit, she gave birth to twins and was finally accepted by the Maharaja and his kingdom as the Maharani…….
