ed in the building opposite mine i would see her everyday when she watered the plants in the balcony ah she gave me a lot of sleepless nights that one then what happened radhika asked thatha it was a grand romance he chuckled all in my imagination but i had many loves after that didn t you ever find the one person who is meant for you thatha titled his head a little you really think there is someone like that i know so and when you lose it you ve lost everything he shook his head a few times no no love is never that cruel it keeps coming back in different forms you never really lose it radhika was drawing water from the well in the compound when revathi walked in through the gate with a bucket of jasmine flowers in her hand we haven t seen you around for a long time radhika said revathi grinned widely you know how it is there s so much to do there s never enough time when radhika brought out a vessel to collect the flowers she noticed bruising on the side of revathi s head what happened there she asked oh i am such a clumsy klutz revathi laughed what so little flowers put lots of flowers on your hair girl how will you impress your groom otherwise pati told her later that revathi s husband had a drinking problem and would often beat her the next time revathi came by radhika asked her why don t you complain to the police revathi looked shocked what are you saying he s my husband and he only beats me when he s drunk when he s sober he s the most loving man you could ask for ravi anna came over with the wedding invitation card it s such a good match the boy has done his m a and has a good government job now all my girls are settled i can rest in peace pati and he discussed the wedding arrangements radhika thought how easily he accepts that his daughter will be happy and maybe she will be she asked pati about thatha thangaraj thatha no my thatha i was 15 when i got married to him he was 17 we were both very shy we hardly spoke to each other within a year he fell ill how did you manage i went back to my parent s place with your father i worked in the fields i made sure your father got a proper education and made a life for himself when my parents died your father bought me this house didn t you want to move to the city with us this is all i ve ever known what would i do there don t you feel lonely or angry no where was the time for loneliness everyday living itself takes up such a lot of time and now now what like i said this is all i ve ever known so i have nothing to cry or be angry about it s funny how you can run around in circles and still end up in the same place thangaraj thatha said but you see the journey is important how would this place have meaning otherwise radhika sat next to the window and pushed her hands out through the grill pati and thangaraj thatha held her hands till the train started to move love journey destiny acceptance memory she thought as she leaned back into her seat all life is memory and through memory lost we lose so much of ourselves every minute of our lives in the end we re left with very little only those wisps of remembrances that slip through the fingers with which we try to hold them this too shall be forgotten someday like i have forgotten arun she sat by the window near her cubicle with a glass of tea in her hand a letter was folded and placed on top of an envelope thatha was gone it was three years since she had seen him she had returned to finish college after a couple of nondescript jobs she was now working for a top it company then she met sameer she was cautious constantly trying to discover if there was a way to know for sure sameer dropped her off at the airport i m here for you she stood by the pyre and fished for memories of thatha and realised that some of them had already been erased she looked at pati she was looking much older too and calm maybe it s the imprint of memory radhika said as she and pati walked back to the house even if i forget everything about him he s still a part of me meeting him and you changed me just like every person you meet changes you every place you visit every thing you do every truth you shape for yourself she lay in bed looking up in the darkness there is no way to know for sure not unless you make the choice and see for yourself life with sameer would be what they made it she would tell him tomorrow posted by words worth 6 comments tuesday october 03 2006 the cinderella slipper the prince didn t believe in fairy tales he had his feet firmly on the ground and his head firmly on his shoulders he had a kingdom to run now he was going to be king years passed and the new king matured into a good ruler kind and benevolent brave and wise little by little he cast away all his fancies and romances and retained only the manners and thoughts dignifying a king then one day as he was riding in the woods he spotted a slipper lying near a bush he took a closer look it was a glass slipper cinderella he smiled bemusedly and rode on on the way back however he picked it up by the time he returned to the palace he was laughing at his own foolishness and put it away in the corner of a closet that winter at a ball held by the queen of the neighbouring kingdom his life changed forever it wasn t as dramatic as that of course and the prince had no idea of it at the time she wasn t breathtakingly beautiful or noticeably charming but when he sat next to her at the dinner table conversation flowed easily and without pretence a year later he got down on his knees and asked her to marry him they were very happy together everyday the king would wake up and look upon her face and think how lucky he was their love was true and strong and would stand the test of time in time they became parents of two charming boys and a delightful girl life was perfect then one day the queen chanced upon the glass slipper she teased him and which fair maiden have you been secretly dreaming about he laughed i found that in the woods a long time ago i was young and foolish let me try it on and see if i m really your true love now you are being foolish they both laughed as she slipped her foot into the slipper oh no my feet are too big how can you love me now the queen asked her eyes full of mischief i must do the best i can mustn t i the king retorted as he took the slipper from her and put it back into the closet the queen linked her arm with his and they both walked contentedly in the gardens that night however while the queen was asleep the king sat looking at the slipper for a long time then he sighed and pushed it back farther into the closet there was nothing you could put a finger on but there was something different in the way the king looked at the queen now and it made the queen sad though she didn t know this at first slowly without either of them noticing it they laughed less and they talked less one day they realised they had nothing left to laugh about together and nothing to say to each other the queen became sick doctors were called in from far and wide but they couldn t help her the king was heartbroken i still love you very much he told her you don t look at me in that way anymore the king wept i don t know how to she died in his arms the king walked up to the closet took out the glass slipper and flung it against the wall it shattered into a million pieces posted by words worth 92 comments saturday september 02 2006 at crossroads sometimes a road you had left behind catches up with you at another crossroad it would be foolish to ignore it twice she left on a winter morning wearing a cream sweater her black hair falling over it she had waited at the door for some time as if thinking she should say something then deciding it was useless walked away i can t picture it clearly anymore i just know this is how it happened she had come to my room to return a book i had left in the canteen at the time i didn t ask her what she was doing in the boys hostel or her name the latter didn t take too long to find out when i questioned her later about the former she had replied i was returning your book but you re not allowed in the boys hostel i know you could have returned the book to me in class yes it wasn t love at first sight it s just that we remember beginnings and endings we grew on each other gradually we looked at the rest of our lives and ordered it into neat little patterns in the way only people who have seen very little of life can one day she sat up and exclaimed but i don t even want to go down that road and said goodbye the years since have been good to me i found someone else to hold me close at night and in the daylight to look me straight in the eye i filled my days with purpose i was content with who i was but if i could do it all over again i would do it differently i reached the restaurant early so that i could see her walk in she hadn t changed at all her black eyes were fierce as ever her black hair tumbled messily onto her shoulder and she walked as always as if in a hurry to get somewhere she came up to me and smiled hello and i knew she had changed in ways i would never know it feels like yesterday and yet like a million light years i said it s really all the same she replied as she sat down what made you think of me i always think of you i know are you happy she asked yes i said i m married to an amazing woman whom i love very much i love what i do life s been good to me if i die today there ll be no regrets but you would still wonder i would still wonder i broke up with my boyfriend two months ago after 10 years he said i made him very happy and that he could have stayed if he hadn t known i was more than he could know you wanted him to stay very much i love you i said she smiled and we talked conversations to fill up the spaces we had missed we took them in small lingering sips we took them in huge greedy gulps we watched as the sun went down it s time for me to go she said down another road i asked she laughed of course is there any other way no i replied i stood outside the restaurant savoring the cold wind on my skin it s foolish to ignore a road twice but then we are foolish or maybe some people are just meant for crossroads posted by words worth 6 comments monday september 26 2005 the chains that bind sachin waited till the train started moving before jumping in the disgusted looks he got from the women standing near the door didn t bother him he still hurt all over from the thrashing his father had given him last night he smiled wryly just another drunken boor for a father the chawl was filled with lives like his it had been only two weeks since his mother had left them and he had dropped out of school his father had insisted on it but he was glad school had only added to the tediousness of his life he liked the colour and bustle of the local trains amol had taught him how to do a sales pitch though two years younger to him amol was a veteran on the trains start out with the ladies compartments amol had told him women like kids so that s already a point in your favour he said sachin experimented modifying his babble till he got it right and then vocalised it with a mix of cuteness impishness and audacity the women will swoon amol avowed yesterday he had made his first sale he had been about to get off the train after passing three stations when somebody called out to him he took a deep breath then turned around wearing his broadest grin there were three college girls college girls loved trinkets as the girls rummaged through the box of earrings he sat on the edge of the seat and offered his opinion take this one madam this blue colour matches your dress perfectly try this long one your face is round so it will look really nice it s only rs 10 each madam buy all four sachin got off at the next station and sat on the bench counting the money over and over again he then bought a wada pav my money he thought when he decided to go home the last wisps of twilight had faded away he sat at the edge of the door of the train his eyes closed letting the wind whip his hair into disarray he was whistling when he had walked in the door so you ve finally come he turned around to see his father sitting against the wall bottle in his hand yes sachin mumbled and went towards the kitchen wait said his father where are you going did you make any money today yes so where is it hand it over sachin stood staring at his father what happened have you been struck by paralysis no well that s nice to hear now give me the money no sachin wasn t sure he had actually said that what did you say sachin did not reply his father got up what did you say sachin took a step back sachin lay on his stomach all night his eyes dry and awake he had tiptoed out of the house this morning before his father woke up taking with him a few clothes in his school satchel he spent another good day in the trains at 8 pm he alighted at vt station he bought some food and found an empty bench at the far end of the platform he watched the people and trains come and go for a long time he lay down along the length of the concrete bench using his satchel as a pillow he woke up with a start there were very few people around now they spoke in whispers that echoed off the walls the lights were dim and the shadows towered up to the ceiling he shivered and curled his body in a little closer he didn t go back to sleep when morning came he bought a pair of scissors a spindle of thread and a needle he sat down on the pavement and carefully removed the stitches of the lining in his satchel he put rs 20 inside it and carefully sewed it up again he put the remaining rs 30 in his pocket and made a running jump into a train as it pulled out of the station his father was still asleep when he got home sachin got into bed and looked at his satchel for some time before closing his eyes some day he promised himself posted by words worth 17 comments flight his smile would spread slowly on his face the dimples getting deeper the laughter in his eyes warm wicked incorrigible which was why she had stared at him a little longer than was polite she had turned her head away when she caught his eye when she looked up again he was laughing with his friends but he was laughing at her he knew that she knew the memory lingered for a few days and was forgotten eight months later she met him at a friend s party she couldn t recollect where she had seen him before it came back only months later when she remembered she had smiled he understood her restlessness he saw through it turned it upside down mocked it and let it be he ripped apart all her questions dismissed her answers and swore everlasting love not as a promise as a certainty a fact irrelevant and negligible when he loved he was the ocean wild raging calm she drowned gasped for air as he sat back and watched and then turned away he was there whichever way she turned so big she could not see him and she slept like a baby she asked for promises he refused every one he held her han...
