Traffic Rule Story

I was about to finish my shopping, when I saw him excited, cheerful, he must be in his twenties, talking to the shopkeeper. “Please pack this one and that too, today I got my first salary… so thought to buy saree for my mom.” Shopkeeper asked “so you will have a party tonight?” 

Boy: “ no, not today I will have a party with friends on the weekend, today I have lots of work, have to buy gift for my younger sister… then have to go home pick mom and take her to visit temple… but I am sure mom is definitely cooking halwa for me…”

After hearing this I realize I have a smile on my face… he  reminded me of my first pay cheque, and those smiles which came when I had done something independently for the first time… he is like any other young boy in a hurry, busy in own thoughts, happy and excited with the new beginning… 

I came home happy…

On the other day I was just flipping the pages of newspaper… when something caught my attention… it was the picture of the same boy, in the obituary column… I was sadden … I was speechless… he died in an accident, I read the content below realize I ignored the same news on  the front page, I rush and flip the pages again read the whole story… the boy met with an accident on the same day I saw him…

The words which shudders me were his father’s words “if he was wearing a helmet, he would have alive.”
Obey traffic rules, respect lives… somewhere, somebody is waiting for you…

The girl in PARK

The story begins at the park or to be specific at the bench in the park. The girl sitting on the bench, sitting idle or we can say sitting idle for the passing biers. The reality is she was busy with day dreaming. Her face reflects different expressions, which are changing within a fraction of a minute.

She isn’t new to the place even this bench is her favorite spot, and people who are regular to the place had seen her many times, but most of the time try hiding tears. Some of them had felt bad and wants/ urge to ask her why, but it is difficult for strangers to go and talk to a girl crying. Some of the faces have a relaxed today feeling as some of their loved one has overcome the problem, they are sharing a very special bond with the girl, a bond of caring. They seem happy for her. Today the girl has become the reason of smi...
