Destiny - Chapter 4: Unexpected and More

Shilpa helped Aadhya find an apartment studio that best fit her requirements. Aadhya got acquainted to the new home and the new environment. She met Gautam at the famous Indian grocery store one fine day. She actually bumped into him when she was moving towards the cash counter.

"Hey Ms. Aadhya. How are you doing?"

"Oh am Sorry.. Ga...Gautam(With a surprise). "

"Yes Gautam. Glad you remember me and my name"

"That day I could not thank you enough and before I turned to bid a bye you were gone."

"Oh yeah I got a call from my manager and before I could answer it and return you had left."

"Well I am doing good. How is your work, targets and what not?"

"Hhhh! Work never going to end. I am quite happy by the way it is getting these days. Things are way better and more streamlined. Leave that alone. Tell me if you've found some offers. What's going on at your end?"

"Gautam, you pretty well know that I am not from this IT world and the opportunities in the career path I have chosen is not high in numbers. But I've managed to bag a few interview calls. Will have to wait and see."

"Let me know if you need any sort of help. This is my card. Feel free to call if you need some company."

"Sure!"


January 8th
"In white snow I walk the path,
knowing no destiny or where to start
Here I am to make a name
And raise to some known fame"


Aadhya spilled her heart into her Biba. As she thought of signing off from the Laptop that evening her phone rang. The number was new. She answered " Aadhya speaking,May I know who is on the line?"

"Ms Aadhya, I'm Clarie, Clarie Joseph from the Blair's. The company is ready to hire you for the post you applied for. Will you be okay to join us from next Monday?".

"Oh yeah! Monday is fine. Infact that is perfect. And thanks so much Ms. Clarie. "

"See you on Monday then . Sharp 8:30 am. Mr.Pitt is very particular about time"

"That shouldn't be a problem. Have a good one."


"And now I know where to start,
In search of my destiny though....."



She added these lines as she shut down the system for the day.

A cry not heard!

Ray of light far from sight All his need is a caring feed A place to sleep, a blanket to keep - the despodent waif Warm and safe Cruel men see the poor one plead, Emptiness filled hearts hesitant to share a part. On the pavement's corner sits this lad a bit. Weak and pale telling his tale None hear Do they feign fear? Hoping - is all he could do for some fresh hot stew Every passer-by down the lane Ignore this guy and all his pain Why is this scene not wiping off my brain Serene it Remains Revives time and again As I sit by the window of the train.

SUPW - Socially useful and productive work!

Say primary school or exams - it brings back memories of lot of fun filled activities along with the normal syllabus. Languages, Basic math,science and social studies are the ones included in the normal stream. The ones out of this are - General Knowledge, moral science, story telling, project work - these become the building block for a child's growth in a complete way. Last week an evening as I returned home, a neighbour's kid was waiting for me the enitre afternoon for help.He needed guidance to complete his project work. The school had come up with a concept to bring the creativity out of a child's mind.It goes this way - use the waste materials and create something useful - Socially useful and productive work(SUPW). SUPW is another learning area falling under the non-scholatic domain - This ensures that the students develop better understanding of their social and environmental issues.

Cent story 17: Love like rain

Rain poured softly the day Krishna first saw Purvi—draped in yellow, lighting incense at the Ganapati pandal. Their eyes met like a prayer answered. Thunder rolled, but all he heard was her laughter. From borrowed umbrellas to shared street-side chai, their story bloomed. Every rain after felt like a song only they understood. When they wed under cloudy skies, even the priest smiled, “Blessed by Bappa Himself.” Years passed, but every drizzle pulled them back to that pandal, that glance, that moment. Love, like rain, sometimes arrives quietly—soaking deep, leaving music in its wake. Krishna and Purvi were always meant to be.
