Fleeting, lasting, deep, light, amusing, thought-provoking... All that I encounter.

One Earth: For a Rainy Day
One Earth: For a Rainy Day: I am just an element, I was in my elements. I know nothing of joy and anger, Nor indeed of safety and danger. I fall from heavens...

A Brush with Bushsh: Chapter 7 - Meeting the Monsters
Read Chapter 6
She
picked up the fallen bat and saw that, as she had suspected, it was not a real bat but
a mechanical one. She handed it to Param, who had followed her. He shook it and
then dismantled it. It had electronic parts. They went out and approached the
monsters. One of them bent and boomed. Though she knew it was Udit playing
pranks, still it was scary. She went near slowly and touched the monster. She
felt something wet and solid. She looked at her hand. Because of the
floodlights, the visibility was better. She saw her hand was white and foamy.
She smelt it, and was pleasantly surprised to smell detergent. She touched the
monster again and realised that the smell of detergent was quite overpowering.
Rain Train
In the year 1986, one of my cousins was getting married. I was in Calcutta that time, studying in school. The wedding was in August, when school had started. My father was on tour, brothers in different cities and it was only my mom and I were to travel. I fell sick the first week, when I had anyway been denied permission to take leave. 104 at night, 102 during the day... But my mother was keen and so we started. Reaching the station itself was an adventure because we got delayed starting, got caught in the famous Howrah jam, but the govt. vehicle took us just in time to see the train starting. The driver and the inspector somehow got us in into some compartment, and the luggage in another.
Anyway, adventure had just begun.
