Bedtime stories.

Bedtime stories!

 It was night, I, my brother and sister had finished our dinner and mother sends us to directly bed. I tell u, we were not kind of feeling sleepy that way but still pulled our blanket to show her we slept. In the morning we had to go to school. It was late night. We were waiting for our father to come from his office and tell us story as he always. It was 11 pm, we heard the door bell, I knew it was dad and told my brother and sister to pull the blanket and pretend that we are slept for fooling father, Of course.

Father came inside as mother unlocked the door, father switched on the light, freshened up, ate his dinner and came in bedroom. He switched on the light but shit I even can’t control my laughing. When father passed through my bed, I began to laugh even more loudly so do my brother and sister. We pulled down our blanket.

(With smiling face)

Father: Why? Are u all still awake, not asleep, till now.

We together: dad! We are not tired yet, and are not feeling to sleep.

Father: ok, what should I do?

Me: please, tell us any story or sing any nice poem then we will sleep we promise.(excitedly)

We like to hear story from father, he is very good in that.

Father sat with us and asked us politely, which story u would like to hear?

Me: some nice and brave.

My brother(praveen): emotional.

Sister(Dipali): romantic.

‘Okk, stop pulling me’ father said but after the story u all will go to sleep, ok. And he began to tell us……………………………….Listen to the poem of a time,

 a time long ago………………….

There was a lion and a lioness

They had three children

Those imps were like you, but

But what, papa? I asked.

But everyone loved them

Inside a little cave

was their little home

Their lives knew no sadness

nor any fear

They were their mother's darlings

And to their father, more dear than life

In waves of laughter and song

they all lived together

Then what happened, papa?

Fate spread a trap

A hunter came there!

The lioness faced him

He fired his gun

The lioness was wounded

She screamed, she writhed, she went to sleep

She never opened her eyes again

The bullet had struck her in the chest

But as she died

she spoke her parting words:

My companion, my beloved,

Care for these children with love

Don't forget you're a father

Now you must do the duty of a mother as well

What did the father know of

how to laugh and cry with children?

He learned how to laugh and cry thus

He learned how to wake and sleep with the children

Time stopped, then slowly began to move again

The heart's wound slowly began to heal

Grabbing onto the father's legs, the kids began to walk

They were nurtured in their father's lap instead of their mother's.

Years, months, seasons came and went

Once more the lion's children began to laugh and sing

The rest of the stories tomorrow; go to sleep now

We together: No, no, papa, tell us now…………we won’t sleep then,

Okay, okay

Listen to the rest of the story

The shadow of sorrow fell on them again

A black lion came there

He growled and he roared as though

he were about to gobble everything up

Those kids got afraid and ran

but their father came to face him

A fight broke out

The whole jungle began to tremble

The monkeys sat in the treetops

The snakes hid inside their pits

All the pigeons flew off somewhere

The bear fled to the hilltop

From fear, the elephants began to flee

There wasn't a single friend for the lion

It was a monstrous battle

The black lion took a beating

And

The children clapped

The end.

Dad: I am getting tired now sleep, u all promised to go to sleep after the story, ok good night.

I: but dad, we have heard this story before also, tell us something else na. Something different and new…..

And started pulling our father’s hand and fake crying.

Dad:  okay! Baba! Okey, well remain silent, I have another story also but where to begin it? Ok…………. This story is nice…… listen……….(deeply and seriously ). Long time ago………….(farther begin his story)

There was one man and women, they lived in small house, they had little farm, had one son, and his name was Edmond. His mothers used tell him fairytale stories at night about magical forest and fairies.

 He was always kind and nice boy. There was only one problem, he was not good looking boy or handsome……… but everyone loved him as he was kind to everyone, he used to help his parents, help needy people,  sometime used to feed birds or dogs and fishes,

 But some used to make fun of him, used to laugh at him and tease him about his look.

One day, one beautiful princess came in town, he liked her in one look and tried to introduced himself to her. He was little shy.(Dipali my sister laughs as she hears this)

 But some boys stopped him and began to teasing him and said,’ u ugly, who would like to see u? Go from here! Get lost,’ and made fun of him,(began to laugh)

 The princess stared him as they laughed but he bowed down and ran from there. He felt very bad about it ran from there. He was crying and running.

He ran in to the dark forest, it was probhited to go in there but he didn’t know that. He kept running and running with tears in his eyes.

Finally, he stopped, panting hardly, taking deep breath and shouting loudly to god and saying,’ Why have u made me like this? Why? Why?????????????????????? As he was saying this…. He looked around to see where he had come?

 He reached one tree,

There he saw one women lying helplessly on the ground, he helped her, and she asked him for water.

The boy saw a lake nearby and thought to bring water from there but……...

He didn’t had any material or utensil to carry water ………… he thought for a while,

He had cap on his head, he brought water in his cap for the lady and gave her water.

As soon as, she drank water, there was light glowing from her body like sparkles shining or busting like firecrackers that happen in the sky, Like that.

When it was over she was much looking like fairy , she had crown on her head, wore pink dress with magic wand in her hand and she said,’ I am godmother of the first there’

Edmond: no, it can’t be.

Fairy: no, why not?

Edmond: they do not exit. It’s only the fairytale for children,

Fairy: no, it is not true. We exit. And now for your bravery and kindness, I grant u two wishes.

He was excited but was confused what to ask? Later, thinking for while he asked his first wish.

(Dipali: What did he ask?)curiously

He asked for his first wish to  become handsome like prince and had  lot of money. The fairy godmother granted his wish. She offered him one bracelet and said,’ as long as u have this bracelet in your hand, u will remain handsome but if u lose it, u will become same like before, remember it.

Edmond accepted the condition and left. He became very handsome boy. He decided to change his name little so that people won’t recognize him. He kept his name as prince Edmond.

He and his parents lived in his new house happily.

He was so handsome boy that other girls used flirt around him.

One day there was message from the kingdom that whoever makes the princess impress will win princess hand or will marry him.

 Prince Edmond also heard about this message and tried his luck and went to impress the princess.

 Many princes came………. some from very far away but were failed to impress the princess. Finally, it was Edmond turn to show his skill in arena. If he could the impress the princess he can marry her and rule the land with her.

Go, go! Prince Edmond! Go prince Edmond! (Crowd cheering)

 Prince Edmond was on chariot riding on horses. He was riding in style with leg up and head down like circus.

King: That’s pretty fancy chariot work. Oh what is he doing?

Prince Edmond broke all the pillars.

Whoa! (Crowd shouting)

 Prince Edmond: bring on the elephants!

He was going to perform bike stunt (jumping above the elephants).

Whoa! Ohhh!

King: all right.

You know movie of Hercules supposedly found the Olympics? I hope so.

Well, prince Edmond invented the X- games.

King: he’s never going to make it!

And ……… and …… he jumped………..and…..

People mouth open, eyes closed.

And ……… and ………

He made it.

King:  bravo! Now, that’s first class.

Prince Edmond!!!(Crowd shouting and cheering)

 The princess also liked him.

Father: how are we doing so far, huh?

Praveen: this is best story yet.

Dipali: can we get to romance now?

Father: well, u tell me?

Dipali: do prince Edmond get the princess which he was after? In stories, the hero always gets the fairest maiden in the land.

Father: you are right and it will happen.

As per promise, prince Edmond gets the princess.

 They roam around, they go to old tavern. And guess who was there?

Dipali: All the boys who were mean to prince Edmond growing up. They see he is with the princess, and they become jealous. So jealous they don’t know what to do. They just start nervously doing the hokey pokey.(angrily)

Father continues the story…………

So then,

Prince Edmond take the princess, out to beach.

All of sudden, the big hairy guy, washed up onshore, passed out.

Princess: what happen to this guy?

Prince Edmond: I think, he had something stuck in his throat and that is why? He was not breathing.

Prince Edmond pressed his chest and fish came out,

Guy: thanks.

Prince Edmond: he is ok.

Prince Edmond showed her around, many beautiful things, she was very happy to see all this and they had happy times. .

One day, as they were chatting, prince Edmond asked her one important question,’ what if I was poor had bald head and dull face, will u love me then also? her reply was nice she said,’ we should not judge the book by only by it cover similarly person should not judge another person from their looks, but from his/her action’. He was pleased with her reply.

Dipali: then it starts pouring and so they run into magical cave.  Magical cave is good idea. They were staring at each other, she brought her face near to him, isn’t that romantic, they were about to kiss and …….. and…..

Praveen: and Mahatma Gandhi came there with his stick shouting slogan “ stop this violence, this is bad” came there.

Father: Mahatma Gandhi? Is this some joke to you? What the matter with you Praveen.

Praveen: oh, I am sorry, papa but it is story and anything can happen.

Father: but Mahatma Gandhi, that’s, that’s good idea but….(said laughing).

Dipali:  and prince Edmond get kiss from princess?

Father: yes. Nice thinking. That happen.

Father continues his story…………..

Prince Edmond kisses the princess.

And were happy.

There was another boy named “Hector”, he was cruel, evil and mean, he always used to take credit of others work.

He was jealous of the prince Edmond.

One day, as prince Edmond was returning from princess palace, Hector was following him to know about him, Edmond was not aware that someone was following him.

While going for bath he took out his bracelet ………………… and Hector saw that the prince was none other than Edmond, he tried to play trick on him and stole his bracelet and ran from there. When Edmond came out after taking bath, he saw bracelet was missing and began panicking.

For few days he didn’t went for meeting princess.

Then it become month,

Then it become more months.

Then it became year.

Princess began to think that he has forgotten about her, the king also became very serious about his daughter health and send the message again.

One day, Edmond decided to meet the princess and tell her the truth about everything, as he reached the palace through back as nobody was recognizing him, he went directly to princess chamber to meet her but what he saw……………….. There was another prince with princess. She looked happy with him. Then he saw that the prince was wearing the same bracelet which the godmother had given him. He got curious and wanted to know who this prince was? As he was leaving one guard saw him and began to case him. He somehow managed to escaped from him.   

One day, the prince was returning from the kingdom and Edmond followed him. He rode and went to dense forest. Edmond also went, when he took out the bracelet, Edmond was horrified to see…………………… that……….. Hector was in the prince form.  He got very angry and came out of bushes. Hector was also amazed to see Edmond.

Edmond: u! Scrondal! How dare u? u stole my bracelet.

Hector: something is meant to share isn’t it? And beside admit it, u don’t deserve her, look at yourself, do u think u can have her, some ugly boy having princess hahahaha (laughs), so I took it.

Edmond: I just want u to return it and I will not harm u. so give it back!

But hector refused to give it back and thus fighting begin. Edmond is beating Hector and Hector is beating Edmond, finally Edmond gave him strong punch and he felt unconscious on ground, Edmond took the bracelet and was just on his way, suddenly Hector hit him on his head with bamboo he loose his balance or he felt unconscious on ground.    

When he opened his eyes he saw himself in a cave with bars and hector was standing outside.

Hector: I wasn’t sure, u would wake up.

Edmond: get me out of here!!!

Hector: why should I?

Edmond: I did nothing bad to u, then why are u doing this?

Hector: well, no harm but u see everybody wants to live luxury life and have everything. I am getting everything from this bracelet than why should I give? And after I get the princess, everything will be mine. Hahahaha………..

Hector: and yes, I forgot to say, for your information ……. I am getting married to princess next day. Hahahahaha (and started laughing)

Edmond: no! no! u can’t do this.

Edmond kept shouting and hector left.

Edmond sat helpless thinking what to do???????????? Then……….

All of sudden fairy godmother came there.

Godmother: why? Boy, u look sad,

Edmond narrates everything to her.

Edmond: what should I do now? (He sits with his hands on his cheeks.)

Godmother: well, whatever the princess said was true, but if she truly loves u then she will accept u, however u are.

Edmond: ok, I agree with u but how can I get out this cave?

Godmother: boy, u still have your second wish left with u, ask what u want?

Edmond asked the godmother to free him from the cave. The godmother used her wand and soon Edmond was out. He thanked the godmother and ran from there,

He was just thinking about  stopping that marriage and tell the princess the truth about everything.

He had four best friend martin, lucus, seema, and max. He went to them and told them everything about what has happen. They agreed to help him.

They four including Edmond reached the kingdom.

But the kingdom was heavily guarded with soldiers, so they thought to seek in the kingdom from back, but it was too guarded. They made a plane to distract the guards and go inside.

It was seema turn first, as she is girl and it seemed easy for her to distract the guards. When the area was clear they sneaked inside the kingdom. They were on their way when unfortunately one guard sees them and informs the other. The trio began to ran when more soldiers began to come then martin and lucus stopped to fight them and told them to go.

Edmond and max reached the marriage ceremony, hector was about wear the ring in her hand when Edmond shouted.

Edmond: stop! Stop this marriage! That is not prince, he is fraud, cheater.

Everyone was looking at him, the king ordered the guard to take that man away. As soon guards came closer to him, max began fighting with them, Edmond also began fighting with hector. In that fight hector somehow breaks the bracelet and his true form appears.

Everyone become shocked!

The king ordered the guards to capture hector, soon he was captured.

Edmond tells the truth about everything and who is he? And convene the princess.  The princess went crying inside palace.

 Edmond saw there is no hope in staying there, so he left.     

Dipali: this is not fair, there is not happy ending. (And began scouting)

Father: but, it is not end of story there is more.

And he continues………….

One day, Edmond was sitting near the beach seeing the sunset when suddenly someone kept hand on his shoulder, he turned his back to see who was there? He was surprised to see…………………. The princess.

Princess: I want what any other princess wants: to live happily ever after with whom she loves truly and I love u, I don’t care how u look or where u live but I love u………. (And, they both hugged each other and become emotional.)

Soon they were got married and lived happily ever after.

Moral: “Beauty doesn’t matter the most, but how u treat the others matters, if the person loves u most he/she will come to u, however u may look but if u are true then they will accept u”

The end.

Father: (looking at the clock) shit! Man , it is 12 o’clock, I am getting tired, sleep tight sleep! sleep!, tomorrow u have to get up early in the morning for school na, so  good night. And he left

We also said good night to father and thanked him for telling us this amazing story.

We all slept,

 I was dreaming of fairy godmother came and grant me wish and I asked her to cure me and make me like Robocop then I can fight

The crime beat the bad guys and impress Anjali.

But I opened my eyes and there was some thought in my mind” one should not try to become someone else, who he is not and should love what he is”.

And after that thought, I slept dreaming something else.

changing generation

Changing

 Generation!!

It true that today’s generation is lot change, broken between two generation, the generation which has gone by and the generation to come. This generation which is now, is clever and practical as, it knows what is right? And……… what is wrong?  For them who consider like this, every relation is like ladder for them….. on which they step to rice further in life and achieve goal, but when there is no use for this ladder anymore what they do?

They are trashed or thrown in garbage like any other mess with  other old materials   , however life does not take you up like ladder. Life grows like tree………….. parent’s aren’t steps on ladder, parent’s are soul of one’s life , however tree is , however filled or green it is or it may seem …… it can’t stand on it is own once the root is hacked………

 Children often forget the value of their parents, hard work and sacrificed, they just enjoy things which they get freely, and in this story u will read like that. It is short story about man who sacrificed everything, not for his own happiness or to seem big, but for his children smile and happiness.   It begin like this…………………

One day me and my father went to one nursing home , my father had some work there , there were lot of oldies around with shabby hair , broken teeth , and some people even had bandaged on their head or leg. I was pretty scared and caught my father’s finger tightly. We were sitting in the waiting room. The manger called my father in to talk and he told me to wait in the waiting room for while for him. I was waiting in the room alone with lot of old people staring at me and passing by.

   One man sat next to me, I got scared and sat away form him, he was bled and wore some shabby clothes and had big mouche… but was nice, for while we remained silenced but after while he spoke to me ,’what is your name ? I remained silenced, thought (father has instructed not to speak with any strangers), it was muttering in my head. I again remained silenced. ‘Well, boy, my name is Subrimanium Lal, what is yours?’ he asked politely. He smiled and asked me politely, He seemed kind of nice by the way and I was getting interested in him, so I said it ‘my name is Pradeep Bhitale’.’Nice name’ he said, again he asked ‘and with whom have u come? I kind felt it strange but I said ‘I have come with my father’. ’You love your parents a lot na?’.’Of, course sir! a lot ‘ what kind of question was that? Every children love their parents I thought. ‘Have they ever bate u or scold u?’ he asked, ‘hmm, some time ’’ I said.’ Then what u feel about them? He asked.’ Well, sometime I feel as if they don’t love me but they really love me ‘ I said.’ Of , course they love u , they just don’t want u to do mistakes which they have done, they want u  to have better future than them, do u love your parents?’ he asked staring at me, ‘ yes’ I said  ‘Then……….. don’t leave them alone ever.’ He said. I gazed at his face with confusion for while…………..

 I will tell u one story about how trust is broken, he said, (tears rolled down his cheeks) as he began to narrate his story…………………..

We lived in Dehradun (Dara shiv puri) we had house there I had two sons Vinod and Govind, one wife Mansi, we had small family, but my sons, they were two stars of my eyes. I used to give them everything whatever they used to ask. Their happiness meant everything for me how could I forget them? Of the time when they were born. Their pretty face smiling and crying, I still remember it. How they cried while going to school?  How they used to ask for things and used to cry behind me? Dad! I want new geometry box, new shoes, and new clothes. Dad! I need money, I want to go to college, I never bate them, scold them about anything or race my hand against them, my wife some time used to say ‘scold them at list little’ but I used to avoid her. I worked as clerk in school. I used to always see other children going to school with bags, shoes, nice clothes, and many things, I always thought that my children also should have all this things they should not feel needy or alone not even once. When I didn’t had money to buy, I worked harder and got those things for them and I gave them everything with smile even, my life. They used to say” I am their best father”. I grew old, I am retired man now, they grew up, things began to change, they got married and lived separately brought different homes and got settle. My wife waiting for them to come, visit her and meet her but passed away due to some heart diseases and. I thought of living with my sons and daughter in law to get love and affection from them. I thought things change with time not human. I never knew how? How? …………………. How they changed then?, but I was not feeling it kind of home there, I was made to stay in attic with other old things, their daughter in law used to say many odd things about me as if I have no respect, my elder son also used to say odd things about me as well. I was tired of listening of her chit chat…….. Again and again , every day, when I complained about it to my son , he said’ don’t blame her , she is right , behave yourself’.

One day I broke my stick and asked my son to buy me other one but he said he will buy it afterwards. Days passed but he didn’t buy but he bide necklace for his wife.  I didn’t say anything they might feel bad about me so just smiled, Time came for me to go ……. To other son but here also I had to hear many things and had to accept many quarrels. One day my son and me had talk about work and he said,’ whatever we are today are because of our steam, talent and hard work with which we paved way for ourselves, not only this I had secured my future also so that I have not to beg when I grow old, in any case, what have u really done for us? And he went to sleep. How could any son say like that? But it was true……..what have we done for them? If we’ve fed our children ………. And gone to bed with hungry stomach…… what have we done for them? If we have killed every little desire we had…. To fulfill your happiness and needs then what have we done for them? If we sacrificed our present for their future …… then what have we………..still done for them? We have done nothing ………. Nothing ……..(tears roll down from his eyes while saying it) and then my own son left me in nursing home. This is what children are for? They don’t understand their parents feeling?

I still ask myself, have I done wrong or my love was mistake for my children?  That made me blind to see what was happening in front of me and started wiping  , while asking this questions to myself ,  someone kept hand on my shoulder , I turned my back to see…………… But there was no one…… I heard inner voice from me saying, u are not coward, your love was true but just they don’t understood u and your love, so don’t waste your tears also for them, show them who is boss to them , show them your real power , work again , earn money and teach them lesson , u have made mistake once but you will not make it twice’.

I got job in nursing home (  for making cloths), made some new friends with old peoples, when it was time for my monthly payment, I earned almost 1 lakh, I was happy with it .

One day, my sons came……….. to take me home again……….. Saying,’home seems empty without u , plzz come home , forgive us’

Then what happen? I asked (curiously) did you went home with them.

I told u ‘I can make mistake once but not twice ‘I said’ come when your own son throws u out of house then talk with me’ and I left saying that.

The end

‘Well, u must have liked story it was not much big but it has value , don’t ever break your parents trust, don’t be selfish, understand them, feel them they might scold u, beat u but it is for your own good, they love u more, that’s the truth’. ‘It was nice meeting u boy just remember what I have said’ and he got up and left.

My father came out of office and called me, I just hugged him, and said ‘ I love u , daddy!’

It is true that generation has changed, these days, people have changed, time has changed but they should understand their parent’s value and should respect them, support them. They make mistakes but we should understand them, their problems, when we used make mistake in our childhood did they abandon us? No, they didn’t! Parents used to scold us, reason with us but they never left our side! So it is our duty to help them, not just abandon them alone for some silly situation. Love your parents a lot, cherish each and every moment with them, they are two people in the world, who want u more than anything. They will do their best. They will make some mistakes and u will get them only…….. for short time , but they will love u more than u can ever imagine. So, keep them happy……. always.

short story written by me.

Another !!

Cinderella

 Story.

Everyone has seen Cinderella movie or read the story in which the girl get her wish to be princess for 1 hour but loses her one shoe but in the end, the prince finds the girl with other shoe that matches her feet and marries her  and they live happy life ever after.

 This story is quite different than Cinderella story. But little, is same,   here is not any fairytale or godmother comes to grant your wish but god comes to help u, it takes time to know it, but he comes in any form and guides u.

As happen………

It was Saturday, I was on my way to Jaslok hospital………… We passed by Mahalaxmi temple…. I prayed to goodness laxmi ‘to have my operation nicely and I will come to your temple with bare feet and offer u sweets’. My father got me admitted as doctor had advised me get admitted to hospital 10 days before operation, I had got my favorite ward , it was favorite because I was popular there and my bed same but few new patients had come . U must be thinking about Cinderella story, where is it???? Well, I have not forgotten.

In the evening, I was sitting on my bed ………. When I heard a pretty voice and that’s where it all begins.

“Can I have mobile charger, please?” she asked.

She was pretty, with glowing face and had cute smile, she had worn pink dress with ribbon on her hair, and she came to me and asked again. I gave her my mobile charger and she left. Again she came and returned my charger and said “thanks”.  She sat next to my bed and asked well, why do you look sad?  What is your name? She asked. I remained silenced for sometime but little while later I said my name is” Pradeep” to her. “Well it is nice name “she said. I got more interested in this girl and asked’ what is your name now? And with whom u have come?’

She said “well, my name is Rajeshree and I am  friend, of one nurse who works here.”

I told her about me , my feeling and my thoughts, she listen quietly and advised me that “you are not only person with difficulty in the world and don’t be sad , everything will be alright” , when I told her I can’t hear she said,’ it’s no problem , I will write and give you. For first time I felt nice and she had not run away like other girls.“I like talking with you” I said, will…..u…..  Come tomorrow also? She smiled and said “yes”.

For three days we talked, smiled, laughed, cracked joke, shared feelings , thoughts and it was nice feeling , it was nice to see her laughing like that, my heart was light as somebody talked with me . I never felt like this before. We soon become friends.

She was most amazing girl I had ever met in my life soon I began to speak openly with her. She promised me that she will come, before I go for operation.

Finally, I had two days before my operation, I don’t know what will happen next? So thought of doing something special for her, I asked her would…you…..like to have dinner with me?

She smiled for while and later said “yes, I would love to “for first time any girl had said yes to me, I told her to come at the same time over here.

Well, I didn’t go out of hospital , I didn’t had permission to go out , but made my ward as restaurant, well, not restaurant but some of it , I asked nurse politely for permission to order some food from down canteen and she granted with smile. I decorated the ward with flowers also.

It was almost evening, I waited for her to arrive, time passed…………… and she came little late. She said “sorry, for being late traffic was huge so got late,” I said nothing to her but welcomed her.

She liked, in fact she loved what I had done, and she hugged me, and kissed me on my cheeks. I never felt much happy or excited like this before. We both had dinner on bench near window and smiled a lot, suddenly everything about her seemed nice to me, we talked much had ice-cream for dessert in the end. I kept looking at her……. I wanted to say “I like u” but I thought I will tell her after my operation but she ran away as soon it was 12’ clock, I didn’t ran behind her as I can’t walk. ‘May be she might not have liked the food or talking with me,’ I thought about the next day.

Okay, I was ready for my operation hoped to see her again but she can come only in evening and how she will come? And how she can come so early, I thought like that but she promised she will come on my operation………… well, why she will come? You are not much important for her. I was thinking like that………….. and …………. What I saw …… she was standing at door, she smiled at me as she saw me. She apologized to me about that night incident but she felt nice about what I did.

She said to me before going to Operation Theater that she is going to her village for her summer vacation and will meet me after one month.  

The operation went nice, it took me one month to recover from it , I was watching at door for her arrival but she didn’t come to see me.

After many days passed.

One day I asked the counter nurse about her.

 “Rajeshree” the girl that used to come in evening.

 She said nothing at first but I saw tears roll down from her eyes. I got tensed, the nurse said to me, that she died one month ago due to cancer.

‘No madam, you must be mistaken! ‘I said (heart betting fastly), I am asking about Rajashree the girl with whom I used to speak.  She used to come in evening to meet me.

I am not mistaken! (Nurse growled) she was suffering from cancer and was admitted on same ward but different bed. U can go to her room if u want, I went to her room (heart beating rapidly faster), I opened the door, her photo was there on the wall and trial of roseses on it.

 Suddenly, everything seemed as hopeless, I sat on my bed with sad face and tears in my eyes.

‘Why? Why!’ I said to god why? You took her away from me. Why?

 I was sitting on my bed when one nurse came and handed me letter,’ u must be Pradeep ‘ she said, it was from Rajashree, I opened it quickly,

 Pradeep,

 I am sorry,  I couldn’t tell u I was diagnosed with cancer few week before summer time. Eventually when I went back to doctor he said I have only 3 weeks.  I wanted to do things that can make me smile, laugh. sorry, I didn’t tell u that , I didn’t meant to break your heart, I said I was  going to village for vacation,  so that it couldn’t be hard on u but I am sorry, I lied, it  is good to be someone first love but even special to be there last. You were both for me, I had best date that I can’t forget with u, I know you were trying to say u love me and I ran away that day , I am sorry for that also. I also love u.  Don’t feel sad or bad about It , I am always with u in breeze, just close your eyes and think about me I am always beside u . I hope u forgive me and continue with your life. And always be happyJ.

Tears came out of my eyes after reading this. I was late to tell her the truth. then wind blow through my head and I felt her.

She was not just any other girl for me but my Cinderella …….. Who came in my life and showed path to be always happy.

Moral: Treasure what you have.
Time is too slow for those who wait;
Too swift for those who fear;
Too long for those who grief;
Too short for those who rejoice;
But for those who love...
Time is Eternity.
For all of you out there with someone special in your heart, cherish that person. Cherish every moment that you spend together with that special someone, for in life even it is for short time, anything can happen anytime. You may painfully regret only to realise that it is too late.

Always smile and be happy!!

Always smile and not give up!

Every day I get to some new thoughts… but which one is true? And which on to apply? It remains question for me but………. In every thought one thing is common……………  “Be happy”. “Always be happy” and” Not to ever give up”. Whatever the situation may be……. Just be happy

God is just testing u, it will pass away soon, but don’t let yourself down.

 Only, because difficulty or problem u r facing.

Instead , tease him that  u are not afraid of him , give me as much problem or difficulty u want but I will never give up say him this and be always happy.

Happy mother's day!!

Happy Mother's day!!!

I love my mother as well as my father more than any thing in this world . I wish to travell a lot with them and show them everything around the world as i see. I always want to keep them happy, their happiness means more than anything to me. if i do anything for them it will be less because they have sacificed many things for us , so i owe my life for them. i do not want to say much about them as every thing would be less but...................
