Krishna





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. He asked her opinion and listened to it with keen interest. Although in the end, he would end up disagreeing with everything. 

He challenged her traditional beliefs and offended her most of the time. 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 have been the same person with a parochial mindset if she hadn't met him.

She wanted to tell Krishna how she felt but the ground felt unsteady under her feet and her face hot. She was afraid that he would laugh at her.

Public opinion divided?

Imagine a town with a nuclear powerplant close by. 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...

Ocean

  He was a man who remained immovable like the ocean, a man into whom all desires flowed without touching him even a little. She imagined him as an ocean into which the water flowed from all sides and yet remained at rest. A man of abiding wisdom. Although we see the water being absorbed by the sun in the form of clouds, it is not reduced in any way. Rain and floods flow into the ocean, but it does not expand.

Bheem

  The unsung hero of her life. Bheem, an extremely well-built and handsome personality. She noticed that he demonstrated balanced extroversion even to his friends. While he showed his child-like and innocent personality to her. They often shared words of endearment with each other. Nevertheless, short and sweet fights were also there.  She noticed that he hastened a shy glance while he spoke to her. Without any hesitance, she too felt elated at this. There was something - call it affection, desire, or some kind of attraction between them. And it was not very easy to destroy this fondness they had for each other.  They shared their thoughts on different subjects which often ended up in life lessons. She was not a person whom you could easily convince and the way he convinced her was inconceivable. They often found that they had a lot in common when they shared their thoughts. She believed in Spirituality while he was fond of Science. He made her understand certain asp...
