Journey of Love : Chapter 1: Unexpected Encounters

The train station buzzed with activity as Arjun and his friends gathered their belongings, ready to embark on their week-long trip to Calcutta. The early morning sunlight cast a golden glow over the bustling platform, creating a sense of anticipation in the air. Arjun adjusted his backpack, excitement coursing through his veins as he scanned the crowd for their train.


As they boarded the train and found their seats, Arjun couldn't help but feel a sense of eagerness for the adventures that lay ahead. His friends chatted animatedly, discussing their plans for the trip, but Arjun's attention was drawn to a lone figure sitting a few rows ahead. 


There she was, Latha, surrounded by an assortment of art supplies. Her dark hair cascaded in loose curls around her shoulders, and her eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief as she focused intently on her sketchpad. Arjun found himself inexplicably drawn to her, his curiosity piqued by her solitary presence amidst the throngs of travelers.


With a newfound sense of boldness, Arjun approached Latha, his heart pounding in his chest. "Excuse me," he said, clearing his throat nervously. "Mind if I join you?"


Latha looked up, a warm smile spreading across her face. "Not at all," she replied, gesturing to the empty seat beside her. "I could use some company."


As Arjun settled into the seat beside her, he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement at the prospect of getting to know this intriguing stranger. Little did he know that this chance encounter would mark the beginning of an unforgettable journey.

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.

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.
