Shades Of Life

I hung up the phone and ran into the other room.Humming my favourite tune,I searched for my husband to tell about it.He is found no where,must have went to the hospital.He is on call duty these days.

I just spoke to my best friend on phone who is in India.We were friends from school.We got selected in same medical college and are very close.After getting married,I moved to Saudi with my husband and it’s been almost six years we went to India.Next week we planned to go to India.

I was more excited to meet my friend than my family.My friend,smitha  is a mother of a four year-old girl.

Then the next week as we planned,we landed in India.In the taxi I was thinking all the way from the air-port to my house about her.

She took a decision  six years back to marry our class-mate.I am happy for them,but her parents were not.We tried to convince her parents.They waited for many months for convincing her parents.But they didn’t agree.Both of them married against her parent’s will.Just few days after that I moved to Saudi and not in touch with her regularly.

My husband shook me and said,’we’ve reached,come back to the normal world’, I was lost in my thoughts.My parents and my cousins every one was so happy to see us, I miss them a lot.

Two days later,I planned to meet smitha in a hotel,the same place where we used to hang out years ago.I went early,I was so excited and started biting my nails.I waited there for almost half-an-hour and then I heard a voice “didn’t u stop biting your nails?,”

I was so surprised to listen that,that is what smitha used to say always!but the voice!I turned around to see;To my surprise it is a small girl looking just like smitha.I smiled and searched for her.Smitha is in the corner smiling at me.She is the same happy girl as always.

We talked about every thing for almost 4 hours sitting there.Her baby is sleeping.

“How is Ram?”,I asked.Smitha replied,”fine”, There is no light in her eyes,something is wrong which I am unable to find out.

Then just before leaving she gave me a small gift and asked me to open after she left.I took it and I am excited to open it.She left first.I sat there for some more minutes and opened the gift.The box was empty with a letter and a pass-port of her daughter.Surprised,I opened the letter and started to read.

Dear priya,

I took the wrong step.Ram left me two years ago.He is not the person we thought of.He is a drunkard and harassed me for money,beat me many times.I am very much depressed.My parents don’t know anything about my life.I never saw them after my marriage.I have no where to go.”My hands trembled,I am sweating,my heart beat  raised and I rushed outside to find her. Not very far from where I stood,I saw a huge crowd and ambulance.I ran madly,  and  saw ‘my friend’s  body drenched in blood’ taken in side the ambulance.My mind stopped working,everything is blank………………then I saw the cry of a girl from my left side,smitha’s daughter.I took her into my arms and cried with her.

After,post-mortem,I returned to the hotel to collect my bag and the letter was lying in the same place on the ground.I continued reading,

“I don’t know what to do.I know only you.Here is my daughter’s pass-port,take her with you and raise as your daughter.Bye my dear,forgive me.”I wiped my tears and decided to take her daughter,as god’s gift to me(I can’t get pregnant.).

The next week I left India with the god’s given daughter with me.

Friend Forever

Before starting the story I would like to make my readers acquainted with myself, Since I have been born in India and brought up here so the names featuring would be of Indian origin which might be strange for some of the readers, so not to worry about as the two persons here can be any two persons from the world with same set of problems. Anyhow not taking any further I would begin the story about true friendship and not withstanding what society or people think about you till you are doing the right thing.

Sunil was a 19 year old boy living in a remote village of India and who got an opportunity to study in one of the best colleges of India due to sheer hard work. He did not know that he was born HIV positive as his parents were not alive and he lived with his grandparents who were poor and they did not want to disclose him about it. While in the college he met Anil a simple and honest student who hailed from a middle class family they both soon became good friends and used to accompany each other wherever they went.

While they were studying in second year Sunil became very ill and was admitted to the nearest hospital where after his checkup he came to know he was suffering from AIDS. Anil was shocked to know this and immediately contacted his grandparents who came and later told everything to Anil that Sunil was born HIV positive as his mother was injected infected blood when he was about to be born at the government hospital. Anil could not sleep and eat the coming weeks he would wake up at nights sweating thinking about Sunil.

Later when the college authorities came to know about it they expelled Sunil from their college so that bad name would not be bought on their reputation,also they told Anil to not to go and meet his friend but prepare for the final examinations as in any case he would die and side by side other students also started avoiding him because of this. Anil felt very bad, he went to the chancellor and reported everything but to no avail. He told his parents everything they too scolded him and told Anil to concentrate on his studies otherwise they would call him back.

Anil felt very bad and for the next 4 days he stayed in his hostel room thinnking what to do next finally he made up his mind and went to the hospital to meet his friend. On reaching there he found out that Sunil’s grandparents had taken him back to the village as he had only a few days to live. He called up Sunil’s grandparents to enquire about their grandson ,they told him that he had been running a high fever since two days and would vomit blood frequently and by saying this they started crying and saying first his parents then him why to us we never did anything wrong with anyone still we are suffering why God this to us poor people. Anil consoled them and told them not to worry as whatever they could do they did.

When he hung up the phone his eyes were moist with teers he remembered all the good times they spent together and what a fun loving person Sunil was. Then he made up his mind to go and visit his friend ,the college authorities denied him leave as the exams were only two days after. Still Anil packed up his bags and left for Sunil’s village knowing that strict action would be taken against him but he was ready to face any action. On reaching Sunil’s Village he enquired about the house and reached it where he saw his friend lying on the floor on a mattress.

On seeing his friend tears rolled into his eyes, Anil went and gave him a tight hug, then he made his friend rest in his laps and started talking about all the funny things they did, Sunil’s grandparents were sitting in a corner of the hut crying seeing their child in such a state. After having dinner Anil made Sunil sleep in his lap.

Around 3 AM in the morning Sunil started breathing heavily and started coughing blood he told Anil to bring his ears near his mouth and last lines he muttered were” I knew you would come I was Waiting for you all the time you truly are a friend that i would want God to me in every life ” and then he passed away in his friends lap. The whole time around Anil came to a stand still it was as if everything was frozen Anil’s mind went blank as to what had happened his best friend who a few weeks earlier had been looking so cheerful and in fine health was now no more. He gave a tight hug to his friend and sat like that for time he that he did not know because his mind had become completely blank.

Friendship stories

Two friends

Once two friends argued, and one of them slapped another. This man felt a pain, but telling nothing and wrote on the sand:
— Today my best friend slapped me.
They continued walking and found an oasis, in which wellspring decided to swim. The one who was slapped, started to sink, but his friend saved him. 
When he regained consciousness, wrote on the stone: "Today my best friend saved my life."
Another friend, who slapped and saved his friend’s life, of asked him:
- When I hurt you, you wrote on the sand and now you are writing on the stone. Why?
His friend said:
- When someone hurts us, we should write it on the sand, so that the wind could erase it. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it on the stone, so that the wind could not erase it.


A thought on the heart

— Grandpa, what you are whispering? — a boy asked, noticing that his grandfather was whispering something to himself before going to bed.
— I put a thought on the Heart… —grandfather said.
A boy was surprised:
— What does it mean?
Wise grandfather told him:
-I do not want to quarrel with a neighbor who let me down, but I do not know how to behave. So I will put a thought on the Heart and go to sleep, and in the morning the Heart will tell me what to do.
— And where does the Heart know it from?
— The Heart knows everything, I'm learning from it all my life. And I may advise you: when looking for an answer to a difficult question, when something is not clear, put a positive thought before going to bed at the Heart, and next morning the answers will be opened for you. Just do it with faith.

Mallika Sherawat was kicked out of an international project

Rumours have it that the Murder actor, Mallika Sherawat got herself kicked out from an international project, ‘A Little Heaven In Me’ all because of her tantrums. A little birdie informs us that the makers were upset with Mallika’s unprofessional behavior as well.

The film will be produced by a US based company Bibia Films and will be directed by Indo-Canadian director Keshhav Panneriy. Talking to a leading daily the director confirmed, “She was the producer’s first choice, but due to her lack of cooperation and her unprofessional approach, we decided to replace her.” The director also informed that model Pragya Jaiswal had been finalised for the film after Mallika’s exit. The director is more than happy at her exit and informed the daily, “She (Mallika) is perceived as a provocative and bold woman, and this real-life persona is drastically different from the character we wanted her to play.”

Isn;t it high time that Mallika starts behaving herself. After all we heard similar news about her during the shooting of The Bachelorette India as well. Wake up Mallika!
