If its residents displayed signs of  radiation sickness, the finger of suspicion will point towards the plants however much the plant's operator might swear to its safety. Mirroring a scenario where the town is also home to research centre where the radioactive material is also stored and used in experiments. Now the finger would waver between the nuclear plant and the research centre. Now to complicate things further, if the nuclear waste from both the plant and research centre was buried in an underground dump a fair distance away from the town, a third focus suspicion would arise. Those suspicion of the nuclear power industry would be convinced that the plant was the source of pollution. Little bits of circumstantial evidence would begin to circulate on social media as well as in the opinion columns of the newspaper pointing out to the power plant. The nuclear industry would fight back and accuse the research institute of causin...

She was unable to decipher him. Even while he spoke to her, she felt that he was well planned and prepared on what to say. And when she comes up with queries, he smiled. His enigmatic smile often put her in a puzzled state that forced her to ponder on that for long. Somedays he teased her on how she looked or on how stereotypical she was and reduced her to tears. But later console her like nobody does. On other days he gave her lessons on the political conditions of the country.  He brought her news of the world that no one else cared to give her, a world that she was starving to know more about.

Even after he left, she ends up spending time trying to make head or tail of what he said. Most of the time she hates herself for having chosen to know him. But she knew that she would ha...

The divinity he initiated was not seen in those hundred people she met after. His generosity and refusal towards royal treatment always brought him well.

He had a trouble-free way of handling things that came in his journey. The eagerness and energy she had while around him were indescribable. He assured...
