Short Story

His withered look, fragile mental toughness, a feeling of deep void in his erstwhile ambition manifest enough that he is now no longer a player in the race of mission he wanted to prove himself. When he looks in front of mirror he is still proud of his so called macho man image through which he had prepared himself  to win over Pooja, his only love who he wanted to make her lifetime partner, a companion of his loneliness which he could not make it even after pursuing her for so many years. No Pooja promised him to accompany him as long as he wished to be with her.

Saurabh was an inborn ambitious ruffian who wanted to go with the time. Though his behavior always sometimes proved to be stupid since he was not so mature like his other friends. Either his ambition led him to wrong direction or he was forced by surroundings to let him remain an incomplete ruffian. One day a movie had changed him completely. Saurabh reversed several time the dialogue of the movie.

Dad:     Beta Prem ! How are you doing.

Prem:   Don’t worry Dad. I am Alright. Kaam he meri Pooja hae, Aur Pooja he hae mera kaam.   
         
Saurabh always kept mumbling Kaam he meri Pooja hae. Aur Pooja he hae mera kaam. First he evaluated himself  if he had enough potential to win over her. He looked around compared himself with others in respect of fighting spirit, weapon he could use to win her heart,  threaten if one comes in way. Eventually his macho man image, overall brimful enthusiasm and ruffian instinct inspired him to leave his home in search of Pooja. Gentlemen around him were more than happy when he run away from home in search of  her calling hilariously ‘K.k.k.krann where are you like Shah Khan. He landed in a strange place with a vision. Beautiful dream of lovely Pooja. After incessant effort he spotted a mediocre little Pooja, who was also looking for companion Saurabh immediately offered his hand she also accepted silently having ignored others because Saurabh looked more eligible for her although he realized that she did not fit the bill of his ruffian image but he could not wait much for a better a one. Friendship between them could not remain longer as parents of her objected his dubious behavior as if he was cheating both of them, playing a role of a flirtatious with no possibility of fruitful ending. Saurabh had no compunction for severing her relation. Apart from his increasing experiences of how to pursue his love Saurabh had by far also known the places where he could spot his choices. During the journey of his mission he befriended with many but failed to continue longer with any one of them due to one or another reason consequently his image has become like serial Kisser.     

His new image of serial kisser made it more difficult to get a new lovely Pooja who could stay with him longer. His ruffian image with inadequate experience of long companionship with even a beautiful Pooja had marred the prospect of getting desired lovely Pooja for a longer period. Hence he decided to leave the place and jumped into glamorous world where he tried his luck like so many others. Although he got satisfaction by getting close to some glamour about which he used to dream. He enjoyed their companionship but here too he failed to befriended longer. So many Poojas came into his contact in glamour world but all had rejected to stay with him longer. His indefatigable courage was now dying down but he was not completely disheartened.   

One day Saurabh was preparing to go out suddenly his eye stopped on a birth day gift sent by one of his girl friends. On top of a birthday gift a sentence was written in bold letter “ My dear Saurabh. You are overage now !”

Saurabh looked into mirror combing his hair through tips of fingers. When he looked straight into mirror  snapshots of every single Pooja whom he used to be earlier closer kept coming one by one, laughing, ridiculing, scoffing commenting. “ Oh Saurabh, Be manipulative man, Why don’t you become like others ? Why don’t you follow others who have won our hearts ? You looser ! Why don’t you apply your minds ? You old man ! Stupid so called ruffian ! Remember! I liked you but you left me in lurch ? I hate you ! First identify your shortcomings, weakness, work on it only then I shall stay with you as long as you wish! Hello Saurabh ! Have you forgotten me I am your Kkkkkran! Don’t you feel ashamed of going back empty without taking even one of us!  Get lost and  never come again !

All such scoffing, advises, ridicules  were enough to give him message that either he exploited them  or he was exploited by such Poojas for whom he had left his home.

Saurabh had returned to his village with a new plan in his mind besides gentlemen around also wanted him to be a sensible person so he joined a small company working as a secretary to General Manager but he is still hoping and dreaming of a Pooja who sit with him, caress him, give him a long hug, remove his loneliness.

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.
