Freelancer Florist

Shivangi heads towards the elevator after stopping her car in the slot of  parking area. She took out the card from her wallet, swiped it at the entrance of lift, got inside the cabin and pushed 11 on the corner of board. Lift moves up with slight jolt. Before plunging completely in the scene what happened on the way, door of lift distracted her. She came out silently, opened the door of apartment. In front Sana was engrossed in reading.

Shivangi stretched out on Sofa just then her mobile buzzed. She glanced over her mobile then she disconnected the line. Mobile keeps buzzing. Later She closed her eyes and threw mobile away after switching it off.

‘Is everything all right. Why don’t you pick up the call ’ Sana asked removing the glass.

Shivangi didn’t reply.

‘Who is calling ?’

‘Raj’ Shivangi replied opening her eyes.

‘Why don’t you speak ?

‘No.’ She said releasing her head on top of the sofa.

Sana rises up from her chair, keeps the book on chair and sits beside her.

‘Tell me what happened. Did he say anything which hurt you ’

Not at all. Raj made me realize how fastidious I am. He was right what he said to me. Believe me I did not mind what he said  but I feel how fallible I am that I could not convince him the reason of annoyance, define the love the way I have been feeling in all these years’

Shivangi opened her wet eyes then she continued.

‘On many occasion Raj tried to say his heart but today he had proposed on the way and I turned down. He is no doubt one of my best friends but I had never seen him the way he has had feeling about me.’  

‘What’s wrong in it. Instead of keeping him in dark. you said straightforwardly’  

‘Sana, I am fastidious, cynical, an  immature rigid creature. Raj is right in his observation about me. Yet  I didn’t say the reality. he is nice guy but either I could not understand him even being associated with him for a long time.’

Shivangi flung herself on to the sofa covering her mouth from the cushion. Sana could hear her suppressed sobbing. Instead of asking further she picks up the book and sits on..

Time heals even severe wound. but the incidence Shivangi had passed through followed her every moment. She could not forget the wound given by the circumstances rather she kept cursing her destiny whenever she remembered the moment.  

Shivangi was the only daughter of Anand Verma, a reputed industrialist of Nowherepur. She was  simple, jovial, generous, and a bright science student.. With the passage of time she had blossomed out into young beautiful girl. Once she went to participate in a science exhibition representing her college where he met Siddharth, another participant in the exhibition. Meeting turned into friendship. They remained in contact with each other. Later Siddharhth qualified in entrance test for  admission in a prestigious Medical college. Love has no boundary and limitation both had begun to like each other.

The day which had changed her joyful days of life into melancholy was when She was informed about the incidence. Paralysis had attacked on Siddharh’s brain while he was working in Lab. He was immediately admitted to hospital where after long treatment he was declared mad. This news had sent her in deep depression she was devastated. Nobody was aware of reason behind her deteriorating condition. When Anand Verma was informed about the fact he convinced her like a friend and even succeeded in convincing her to do diploma in Flowering . Five years back Shivangi came to Los Angeles to do the diploma. After completion of diploma she had started working as Freelancer Florist and in course of her business visit two years back she came into contact with Raj who was an importer of flowers in Los Angeles. Anand Verma had already given her out and out freedom to decide about herself after the trauma she had gone through.

Sana was living with Shivangi as a paying guest doing research in a university of Los Angeles.

Even after his outburst of emotion Raj did not leave meeting with her. Time which Shivangi was spending with him creating a new wave of affinity towards him in spite of her earlier rejection. Raj as usual met her but never expressed his feeling again. Both often chalk out strategy as to how to expand their business. On the other hand now Shivangi was having some different planning in her mind. She wanted to give a surprise to him on valentine day.  
   
One morning Shivangi was checking mail on her computer she clicked on message sent by Anand verma. She goes through the message.

Dear Shivangi

I hope you are doing well. I have set up a new company with Vijay Sanyal  of somewherepur. I came to know that his son Raj Sanyal has import/export business in Los Angeles. I am attaching herewith his full details. You can contact him.

She picks up cell phone and called up.

‘Happy Valentine Day Raj’

‘Same to you Shivangi. I am coming to your office right away’

As soon as Shivangi logged out, her eyes stays on flashing news coming up on site. She clicks on it. News appeared large on screen.

Achievement or Miracle ?: A medical student Siddharth Mohan who was declared mad after paralysis attack readmitted in medical college after two years, topped in his batch and become gold medalist…………………………………………

Shivangi was staring at screen unmoved as if both were giving congratulation to each other. Memories of past had once again knocked on her present but she was preparing for new beginning.

Habits die hard People keep changing their hobbies with the time and circumstances but if anyone of us get addicted to any particular hobby it becomes difficult to quit it easily that is why one had said ‘ Habits die hard.’ Although I disliked company of one of my close acquaintances , Shahrukh, who was known for his cynical behavior and fastidious attitude nevertheless I have always enjoyed his logic and reasons which he used to put during the arguments whenever we used to sit together. In fact it would not be wrong to say that he had great habits of maligning others and enjoyed unnecessary criticism on the issues which neither pertains to him nor me. But for the last few months we did not see each other and when we saw him few days back I could not believe on my eyes. He had become so feeble that I was hesitating to even enquire about him. Shahrukh gave a smile as if inviting me to come and enquire about him. I hesitatingly asked him ‘ Shahrukh, how did it hap...

Telling a lie ! ha ha ha ? Growing tendency of ‘ telling a lie’ is an authentic testimony that we are living in the age of kalyug. Apart from greediness. Cheating, dishonesty in short all things which devalue human beings and corrupt the society, lie is also flourishing everywhere immensely. If we look around we find that right from the corridoor of power to the tiny room of two blood relatives, lie has penetrated immensely in life. We can not keep ourselves away from it because we love our surroundings more and concern less about the surrounding we will have to spend later after forsaking present one. Religion is taking a space of joke. Our efforts are confined to make surrounding heaven for ourselves therefore we are forced to follow the path which is contrary to the basic tenets of social norms. In fact human mind is getting sharper day by day with the passage of time that is why our efforts to control over the things such as money, power, status etc through the means which...

Just….Kidding !!!!!! Even an iota of thoughts which don’t agree with the tenets of religious faith stands a person in line of non believer, blasphemy. Most of the answers of the questions which emerge relating to religion emphasizes on believing blindly in the existence of invisible omnipotent. Curiosity of human beings about discovering almighty who is omnipresent compels them to come out with new ideas, new concepts and new belief. In fact hundreds of beliefs and religions are the result of same curiosity to find out the truth behind the existence of the supreme power who controls over every movement of its creatures on this planet. Almighty instead disappointing seeker of truth, trickle a few drop of wisdom but mystery of its exact location/whereabouts it hardly shares clearly with anyone. When science tries to become powerful, it gets a bit, when humankind engrosses in realm of mystery in order to search the existence of omniscient he is also not disappointed but imparted a s...

Bura … na Koi We hardly see people accepting their flaw, mistakes or saying ‘I was wrong. We always keep searching flaws, wrong doings , shortcomings, bad behavior, bad manners, etiquette in others but hardly introspect. We hardly look at others in positive way. Even though we keep committing mistakes but hardly accepts them with open heart. Criticism of others is daily routine of our life. In fact we may have to think hundred times before blaming others if we honestly introspect but it does happen since our all attention is towards digging out others wrong doings, flaws. This is also fact that no one is immaculate. Everyone of us runs after name, fame, money, luxury life, surpass others in the race of material gain but all such things don’t come easily or walking right way. Firstly God has created innumerable kind of character secondly we have not succeeded in setting up a strong social system where there is no place of mischief. Right and wrong, Good and Bad is two sides of ou...

One of the realities.... Despite realizing the fact that each one of us makes one's own strategies, planning at one’s own level in order to control the circumstances which directly or indirectly may affect daily life. Sometimes we do succeed in overcoming the circumstances and sometimes we find ourselves helpless before the circumstances. Sometimes things take a turn in such a way that our all strategies and planning, self confidence and endeavor lose their significance. Sometimes even our calculated and well planned efforts give such disappointing results which we had never expected. Consequently we get frustrated, stressed, and eventually reach on a stage when sadness completely subjugates us. Even though we leave no stone unturned in finding out the reasons, shortcomings, flaws for our plight and frustration and to an extent we also do succeed in identifying some of the weak streaks which causes of our stress ‘ unpredictability in life’ is also one of the streaks and rea...

Doing Good – Feeling Better What does ‘doing good’ mean ? Is making others happy ‘ doing good’ ? or the acts which one does for one’s own happiness is ‘ doing good’. It has different meaning for  the different people, some may have better feeling by sharing their happiness with others on the other hand some have better feeling by hurting others, gratify themselves by harming. Why such evil minded do it because they attach themselves immensely to the worldly needs and since all of us have same priorities therefore scuffle begins to get portion from the worldly needs which one side causes hardship and problems for some on the other hand give better feeling to others. This is general phenomena. But one thing is clear that the secret behind ‘ feeling better is ‘ doing good’. When one feels good , happy it increases immunity inside in that proportion that body can easily fight against viral attacks. All of us like to feel better accordingly everyone tries to take steps i...
