The Other end said, “Hello Pugazhendhi, this is Prabhu”

Pugazhendhi said, “Yes Prabhu how are you?”

Prabhu said, “I am fine”
Pugazhendhi asked, “Anything urgent?”

At 8 O clock, the door bell rang.
Pugahzhendhi opened the door, and Prabhu was standing there.

Pugazhendhi said, “Welcome my old friend”
Prabhu said, “How are you, man?”

Pugazhendhi said, “I am fine”
Prabhu said,”Ok, how are things going”

Pughazhendhi said, “First you come in and take your seat”
Prabhu took his seat in the Hall.

Pugazhendhi went to the Kitchen and prepared Coffee for both of them.

He served the Coffee to Prabhu.

They drank the coffee by smiling at each other.

After drinking the Coffee, Pugazhendhi explained the case of Mr.Rangaswamy to him.

Prabhu heard the case to the whole.

Prabhu said, “Who could be a beneficiary if a Hotel owner stops his business for 10 or 15 days?”

Pugazhendhi said, “An equal competitor …say another Hotel owner”
Prabhu said, “Yes another Hotel owner”

Pugazhendhi said, “But there are many Hotels in Adyar”

Prabhu said, “Whom will we doubt if only one of them got hit?”

Pugazhendhi said, “Or is it a personal vengeance?”

Prabhu said, “This is definitely a challenging case man”

Pugazhendhi said, “Yes because the motive is not clear”

Prabhu said,”Ok, how about a dinner together”

Pugazhendhi said, “Sure, we will go out”
Prabhu said, “Okay”

Both of them went out and had their dinner.
Prabhu decided to go home after the dinner.

Prabhu said, “I will go home from here”
Pugazhendhi said,”Oh, Okay”

Prabhu said,”Ok, I will see”
Pugazhendhi said,”Hey be careful, you are a private guy”

(To Be Continued)

A person wants to spend his Sunday by going out. He has a new kind of experience on that day. His experience ventilates his mind for the rest of his days. Read the story to know about it.

 

Chapter 1: Raghu’s Outing
Raghu was taking rest on a Sunday.

He was thinking, “What am I doing at the age of 32 without getting married?”

Raghu wanted to get married by that year itself.

For many years he was searching for a girlfriend and he never found one who could impress him.

By 3 O clock in the afternoon, he decided to go out and spend some time in some theatre or mall.

He did not decide a certain place to go.
From 3 to 4 p.m., he thought to corner a place to visit.

Till 4 O clock, he did not get any idea.

Hence he then got dressed himself up and decided to go, where the mind directs him.

He came to the auto stand near Perambur Railway station.

He asked an auto rickshaw driver,” are you free?”

The driver said, “Yes sir, where do you need to go?”
Raghu said, “You go to Avadi”

The auto driver said, “Local trains are available to Avadi sir”

Raghu smiled,”Ha Ha Ha, so you don’t want a business now?’’

The auto driver said, “Sorry sir, I just thought of informing you”

Raghu said, “Now, I prefer to go by an auto-rickshaw, are you coming or not?”

The driver said, “Yes sir, Please get in”

Raghu entered the auto-rickshaw.

The auto-rickshaw started and moved from Perambur Railway station.

Raghu asked the driver, “What is your name Mr. Honesty?”

The driver laughed and said,”Oh, Mr. Honesty I like that, But my name is Kumar”

Raghu said,”Oh, Mr. Kumar, nice to meet you”
Kumar said, “Thank you, sir”

There were some Photographs of Hindu gods displayed in the dashboard of the driver seat.

On seeing that, Raghu asked, “Are you a believer in God and Spirituality?”

Kumar said, “Yes sir, I believe”
Raghu said,”Oh, I see”

After 15 minutes of travel, Raghu said, “Please stop by that tea shop, we will have a Tea”

Kumar said,”Oh Sure, we will”

Kumar stopped the auto-rickshaw near the Tea Shop which Raghu pointed at.

Both of them had Tea together.
A new kind of friendship blossomed between the two people.

Both of them smiled at each other while they were talking.

 

Chapter 2: The Belief

After the Tea session, again they got into the Auto-rickshaw.

The auto-rickshaw moved at an average speed.

To reach Avadi, Kumar took Villivakkam route through Padi.

At Padi, There was a huge Grade-separated Flyover.

Kumar drove the auto-rickshaw on the ramp of the flyover.

While descending from the flyover, they had an unavoidable scene to see.

It was a dead body of an ice cream vendor, who got met with an accident there.

Kumar stopped the auto before the accident spot.

People got crowded there.

Kumar said, “Sir, the accident could have happened only just five minutes before”

Raghu said, “Yes man, it is true”

Kumar said, “The man is spot dead”

The ice cream vendor has travelled by a tricycle, and a car has hit him behind it.

On the result of that hit, the ice cream vendor has fallen on the road pavement, backward.

The fall had broken his head and backbone, resulting in an immediate death.

Kumar started and Auto-rickshaw again and moved away from the scene.

Raghu said,”Oh, my God, what a deadly accident man”

Kumar said, “Yes sir, it has happened in the Period of Raahu (Raahu Kaalam)”

Raghu questioned,”Raahu’s period? What is it?”

Kumar said, “This is Sunday and now the time is 5 O clock”
Raghu said,”Oh is it a Raahu’s Period?”

Kumar said, “Yes”
Kumar added, “As per Hindu Mythology, there is a story of Raahu and Ketu”

Raghu said,”Oh, I like stories, tell me the story”

Kumar said,” Svarbhanu was a demon god, who got disguised himself as a lady. He drank the divine liquid of eternity called as Amirtha without the knowledge of Devas. As a result, Lord Vishnu uses his weapon Sudharshana Chakra to cut Svarbhanu into two. The Head and body got separated, but they don’t die. The head form gets an extra tail form of a snake and he is Raahu. The body part of Svarbhanu gets a head of a snake and he is Ketu.”

Raghu said,”Oh, I see”

Kumar added, “So, Raahu has his influence in Earth’s time”
Raghu asked,”Oh is it so?”

Kumar said, “Every day has a one and half hour of Raahu’s period allotted to him”

Raghu asked,”Oh, Ok”

Kumar said, “And, this accident has happened in that time, that is why I wondered”

Raghu said,”mmm… it is unbelievable”

While they were having the chat, the auto reached Avadi.

Raghu said,”Ok, my destination has come, please stop”
Kumar stopped the auto-rickshaw.

Raghu paid him and got down.
Raghu spent some time with his friends in Avadi.

He came to Perambur by night 8 O clock.

 

Chapter 3: The Collection Officer

Raghu completed his dinner and went to the bedroom by 9 O clock.
At that time, Raghu’s phone rang.

Raghu answered the phone call, “Hello”

The other end said, “Hello Raghu, this is Sharath, collection officer from Aircox mobile services”

Raghu said, “Yes sir, tell me”

Sharath said, “It seems you have not paid your mobile bill for 3 months”

Raghu said, “Sorry sir”

Sharath said, “Yesterday I called you, you told that you will be paying it today”

Raghu said, “Sorry sir, today I saw an accident in Raahu’s period”
Sharath said,”Raahu’s period? Is that a reason for not paying your bills?”

Raghu said, “Yes sir, Raahu has influenced Raghu”

Sharath said, “Sir, Please pay it tomorrow, or else we will disconnect your services”

Raghu said, “Sorry sir, Tomorrow, I will pay it definitely”

Sharath said, “Are you paying it by cash or online transfer?”

Raghu said,”mmm… I am waiting for my salary, once it gets credited, I will pay it by online transfer”

Sharath said,”Ok, good, I believe your words, sir”

Raghu said, “Don’t worry sir, I will pay it”

Sharath said,”Ok, Bye sir, good night”
Raghu said,”Ok Bye”
The call got disconnected. Raghu was out of the conversation with the collection officer.

Raghu kept the phone on the table adjacent to his bed.

His thoughts were still lingering on the concept of Period of Raahu.

He did not know whether to believe it or not.

In all kinds of friends, there would be a guy with a pomp and show character. This is also a story of a group of friends, in which one of the guy is of Pomp and Show character.

 

A Pomp and Show Friendship

Those were the days of their last exams of their final semester.

It was a Sunday and Naveen had gone to his hometown near Gudiyattam.

Kumar, Eswar, and Dharani were at their apartment spending their Sunday.

Kumar said, “When will Naveen return man?”

Eswar said, “Tomorrow morning”

Kumar asked, “He is a kind of Pomp and Show guy”

Dharani said, “Yes, I accept that”
Eswar said, “We should do something, which he should never forget in his life”

Kumar said, “I have an idea, but I don’t know whether you people will accept it or not?”
Eswar said, “Yes, tell me, we will see”

Kumar said, “How about stealing his mobile phone?”
Eswar said, “Yes, it is a good idea”

Dharani said,”mmm…but how are you going to do it, anytime he will be with his mobile phone”

Kumar said, “Tomorrow, first half is the exam, second half we don’t have any exam”

Eswar asked, “So?”

Kumar said,” After the exams, he will come and sleep in the room”

Dharani said, “Yes, that time we can loot his mobile phone”
Eswar asked, “But, where will you hide it?”

Kumar said, “After looting it, we will switch it off”

Eswar said, “But we cannot hide it in our apartment “

Dharani said, “Yes, we cannot, I have a suggestion in that case”
Kumar said, “Yes tell me”

Dharani said,” I will do watch keeping here”

Dharani added, “Do you know, there is a small bushy area beyond the railway track”
Eswar said, “Yes it is around 1.5 km from here”

Dharani said, “Yes, you people take the mobile phone there “

Kumar asked, “What to do with it there?”

Dharani said, “You please dig a hole in the ground and bury it in the ground.

Dharani added, “You please keep some place marker there and come back”

Eswar said, “Great idea man, after two or three days, we can take it out”

Kumar said, “Great plan, we will execute it”

Eswar said, “Yes, we will”

Chapter 2: The Theft

The next day, as expected Naveen returned from his Hometown.

They all went to the exam and wrote their exam together.

Naveen was ignorant of the incident which is going to happen.

After the exam, they returned to their canteen and had food together.

They completed their lunch and came to their apartment.

Naveen changed his clothes and went to sleep.

The other three also pretended to be going to sleep.

But they were awake.

By afternoon 2.45 p.m., Kumar, Eswar, and Dharani woke up.

Kumar went near Naveen and ensured that he is sleeping.

Then he took his mobile phone.

Immediately he switched it off and put it in his pocket.

As planned, Kumar and Eswar moved from the room in a slow manner.

Dharani went back to bed and pretended to sleep.

The theft happened in a pin drop silence.

Both of them went and executed the plan.

Kumar and Eswar returned to the Room by 4 O clock.

Naveen was still sleeping.
They also went back to bed.
At 5 O Clock, Naveen woke up. At that time, all the others were sleeping.

He searched for his mobile phone and was not able to find it.
He searched here and there and was not able to find it.

He woke up all the others.
Naveen asked,”Hey friends, My Mobile phone is missing”
Kumar exclaimed, “What? Missing, how is that possible?”
Eswar asked, “How man?”

Dharani astonished, “No way, not at all possible, please search all the rooms”

Naveen searched all the rooms and he could not find his mobile phone.

Tears started flowing from his eyes.

The three friends also searched with him, but of no use.

Chapter 3: Returning Home

After 4 days, Naveen was returning to his home again.

Without the mobile phone, he managed to talk to his home through public telephone booths.

But, the pain never reduced from his heart.

While going on the bus, a stranger sat next to him.

The Stranger was looking at the sad face of Naveen.

The stranger asked, “Sir, Why are you looking sad?”

Naveen said, “I lost my mobile phone”

The stranger asked,” Oh, I am sorry”

Naveen said,” I don’t have any clue”

The stranger asked,”Oh, which place you missed it?”

Naveen said, “In my apartment”

The stranger asked,” are you staying alone?”

Naveen said, “No, I am staying with my friends”

The stranger asked, “When did it miss?”

Naveen said, “While I was sleeping”

The stranger said, “Your friends were awake or sleeping at that time?”

Naveen said, “Sleeping”

The stranger asked, “Why don’t you suspect them?”

Naveen said, “They are good people”

The Stranger said, “You fool, nowadays you can’t trust anybody”

Naveen said, “Whatever it is, I lost my mobile phone, it was a gift from my father”

Tears came out of Naveen’s eyes.

The stranger said,”Ok, anyways, be careful”

Naveen said, “I will, hereafter”

The stranger said,”Ok my place has come, I have to get down”

Naveen asked,”Oh, It was nice talking to you, what is your name?”

The Stranger said,’’My Name is Sharath, Bye, Take care”

Naveen said,”Bye sir”

Keeping a person mind and body prepared for any kind of Situation is known as Awareness. Here is a story of a person who is not aware of the concept of Awareness.

 

Chapter 1: A Bus Trip

It was an evening of Saturday.
Nathan has to go to Cuddalore from Chennai.

He had a marriage to attend on Sunday morning.

It was one of his close friend Praveen who was about to get married.
Nathan got on a government bus by 5 O Clock.

The bus route was through Pondicherry.

The usual travel hour by bus from Chennai to Pondicherry is 3 and half hours.

From Pondicherry to Cuddalore, it will take 50 minutes for a bus to traverse through.

Nathan had a glimpse of his college days while he was travelling.
His present age was 26 years.

Nathan never felt of aging, but marriage invitations of his friends reminded him of his age.

His friendship with Praveen was a pleasant experience in his life.

During his college days, Nathan, Praveen, Kumar, and Harath were close friends.

They use to go to the college canteen daily at morning 11 O clock during the break hours.

Their favourite item was the Hot Samosa.

The break hour was from 11 O Clock to 11.15 a.m.
Due to a huge crowd in the canteen, they will reach late for their class.

The lecturer would ask them to stand outside the class for one hour.

But, still, they enjoyed standing out of the class for the sake of eating Samosa.

Now, after 5 years, he was going to meet his friend.

He had a fresh feeling while he was travelling.

His body felt vibrant with ecstasy.

The travel through East Coast Road took his emotions to a higher level.

Due to trouble in Traffic intensity on road, the Bus reached Pondicherry by 8.30 p.m. with a half an hour delay.

The Bus halted in Pondicherry for 20 minutes. The Driver and Conductor had snacks and coffee and refreshed themselves.

The passengers also had snacks according to their preference.

 

Chapter 2: A Helpless Boy

The Bus reached Cuddalore by night 9.40 P.m.

Nathan called Praveen through his mobile phone.

Praveen answered, “Hello”

Nathan said, “Hello man “

Praveen answered,”Hey, where are you?”

Nathan said,”Cuddalore”

Praveen said, “I have arranged a room for you in Hotel Sangeetha”

Nathan said,”Oh, Thank you, man”

Praveen said, “The supply of food is less in the marriage hall”
Nathan said,”Oh! Is it so?”

Praveen said, “Can you have your food in any hotel nearby the Bus Stand?”

Nathan said, “Sure man, I will”

Nathan searched for a Hotel to have food nearby the bus stand.

After five minutes, he stood before Hotel Murugan.

He went inside the hotel and ordered for a Dosa.

There were three suppliers serving food.

One of them was a small boy of 8 years old, one was 40 years old and the last one was 25 years old.

The 8-year-old boy’s name was kalai.

Kalai served the dosa for Nathan.

Nathan started eating the Dosa.

At that time an ambassador car arrived outside the Hotel.

Two men dressed in white shirt and white Dhoti came out of the car.

They came and sat at the table next to Nathan.

They were restless and tensed.

Nathan felt that they were some local politicians.

Those guys too ordered for Dosa to Kalai.
It took some delay for Kalai to serve them Dosa.

Kalai was in the Kitchen.

One of the Politicians called kalai,”Hey bearer!”

Kalai came out of the kitchen.
The Politician slapped Kalai with a great force.

“Aah!” Shouted Kalai in pain.

Blood started coming out of Kalai’s mouth.

Nathan stumbled on seeing the situation.
Nathan then realized that the two people were drunk.

Nathan completed eating his Dosa on an urgent basis.
They were arrogant.

The Hotel Manager kept quiet on seeing the scene.
Nathan came out of the eating area. He came to billing section.

Nathan asked the manager, “Sir, what is this, they are hitting your employee”

Nathan added, “You are keeping quiet?”

The Hotel Manager said, “Sir, They are politicians, I can’t take risk by opposing them”

Nathan’s Blood was boiling, but he stood there without doing anything.

Nathan came out of the Hotel.

Nathan’s mind shouted,”Oh my God, Is this the independence which Gandhiji bought for us?”

Nathan went to the Hotel Sangeetha and found his accommodation there.

That full night, he was not able to sleep.

The Next day, Nathan attended the marriage and returned to Chennai.

Chapter 3: A Discussion with Friend

At Chennai, Nathan was staying with his friends in Saidapet.

When he returned to his apartment, his friend Ramesh was present in the apartment.

Nathan said, “How are you, man?”

Ramesh said, “Fine, How are you? How was the trip?”

Nathan said, “No the trip was not fine”

Ramesh said, “Why, what happened?”

Nathan explained the whole incident at the Hotel.

Ramesh said, “Why didn’t you fight?”

Nathan said, “I don’t know to fight man”

Ramesh said, “That is why people are taking advantage of Power”

Nathan said, “What is the solution?”

Ramesh said, “I will give you an idea?”

Nathan said,”Ya, Tell me”

Ramesh said, “Learn a Martial art from a Proper Guru”

Nathan said, “I am a lean guy”

Ramesh said, “Shape of the body is not an issue”

Nathan said, “Will that situation occur again in my life”

Ramesh said, “Possibility is 1 out of 100”

Nathan said, “Then why should I learn?”

Ramesh said, “That is what I call as awareness”

Nathan said, “You mean, you want me to get prepared for anything”

Ramesh said, “Yes”

Nathan said,”Oh, I will try it”
The Next day Nathan joined a karate class in a local institute.

At that place, most of them were small boys.
The Master asked Nathan, “Why do you want to join Karate?”

Nathan said, “I want to increase my level of Awareness”
Master said, “Awareness! mm..Good”

Chapter 4: Ramesh’s Secret

Ramesh was in his apartment alone.

Ramesh got a call.

Ramesh answered, “Hello”

The Other end said, “This is Sharath man”

Ramesh said, “Hello Sharath”

Sharath said, “What man how is Nathan?”

Ramesh said,” He has gone to Join Karate”

Sharath said, “Then our plan is working”

Ramesh said, “I don’t understand why you wanted him to learn Karate”

Sharath said, “This guy is not facing the problems in a bold manner”

Ramesh said,”Oh for that you arranged a drama in that Hotel Murugan?”

Sharath said, “Yes, the politicians and the boy kalai are drama artists”

Ramesh said, “So, it was not an actual fight?”

Sharath said, “yes, but the slap was real”

Sharath added,” then only Nathan will get an initiation towards learning a martial art”

Ramesh said,”Oh my god, you are a genius man”

Sharath said, “Nathan should not know about this drama “

Ramesh said, “Sure man, I will keep it as secret”

Before 100 meters to them, stood a Tamarind tree. A Fishmonger was standing with his bicycle under the tree.

All of a sudden, he came pedalling his cycle into the lane of the road.

On seeing this, the car driver applied a sudden brake.

The fishmonger rubbed himself with the car and fell on the road.
The Car also stopped. Seenu’s head dashed on the rear-view mirror and blood splashed everywhere.

The Fishmonger got injured in his legs.

Everybody in the car shouted and there was a lot of bamboozlement.

After 3 minutes, everybody got clarity.

Nothing happened except to Seenu and the Fishmonger.

Gunasekaran and Hari got out of the car and took the fishmonger into the car.

Gunasekaran said, “Driver, please take them to Myladuthurai hospital, we will come by bus”

Driver said,”Ok sir”

The car moved away, leaving Gunasekaran and Hari behind on the road.

Gunasekaran said to hari,”See, a careless Fishmonger spoiled our picnic “
Hari said,”mmm…yes dad”
Gunasekaran sighed,”Hmmm…!!! Oh God”

After Treating Seenu in Mayiladuthurai hospital, Gunasekaran brought them back to Chidambaram.

They stayed at Chidambaram on Sunday and returned home on Sunday night.

Chapter 4: The Fishmonger’s Home

It was Monday morning; the fishmonger was resting in his home.

His cell phone rang.

He answered the call, “Hello”

The other end said, “Hello Ramasamy”

Ramasamy said, “Hello Sharath sir”

Sharath said, “You executed the plan well, Thank you”

Ramasamy said, “You gave me money sir, I did it”

Sharath said,” Oh money is not a problem man”

Ramasamy said, “Then what sir?”

Sharath said,” I don’t like the friendship between Seenu and Gunasekaran”

Ramasamy said,”Oh! I see”

Sharath said, “If they start moving like this, then they will turn into in-laws in the future”

Ramasamy said, “Sir, you are a genius”

Sharath said,” Now, due to this accident, they will think before arranging the next meet”

Ramasamy said, “Extraordinary sir”

Sharath said, “By the way don’t let my name out to anybody”

Ramasamy said,” I won’t tell sir”

Sharath said,”mmm…that is good, you are just a fishmonger to the society”

In the universe, life happens with a duty consciousness. Each and every life form has its own responsibilities. The story is about such a responsibility.

 

Chapter 1: A Painful Night

The night was dark. Tharang was lying on the floor in his room.

He felt tired because of the work he did during the day time.

It was around 10 p.m at which he felt a vomiting sensation. He went to the bathroom and stood before the closet.
He vomited out through his mouth. The liquid which came out contained blood.
His eyes got strained. His stomach had a bulge outwards.
His anal mouth was also having an irritating sensation.

He went to water closet to empty his bowels.
While emptying his bowels, blood came out of his anus.

He realized that he was having a serious illness.

The air which came out from his nostril was in an extreme hot condition.

He washed his face and body and came out of the restroom.
He again lay down to sleep. But, was not able to sleep.

Burning sensation in his stomach disturbed his sleep.

There was a blocking feeling in his chest also.

He was not able to judge the kind of his illness.

All he knew was he had gastric trouble for some days.

He thought that the gastric trouble has developed into a serious form now.

The time was running and his condition of seriousness increased with the time.

It was almost 12 O clock in the night.
Tharang was staying in Chennai for his work. His native place was in Villupuram.
His parents stayed there. He decided to go to Villupuram to take treatment.

Though there were hospitals in Chennai, he wanted to be with his parents while treatment.

Hence he locked his apartment and got down to the streets.
The night was cold and he was not able to walk in an easy way.

His body was shivering in the cold and the stomach pain also disturbed him too much.

There were many street dogs barking here and there in a hotchpotch manner.

They created a lot of noise and some of the dogs ran towards Tharang.

Tharang got afraid and took a stick, which lay on the street.

He kept a strong hold of the stick and used it to make the dogs run away from him.

He kept walking through this hardship and reached a nearby bus stop.

There he got an auto-rickshaw.

The driver asked, “Where do you need to go?”
Tharang said, “Please leave me in guindy”

The driver saw him suffocating.
The driver asked, “What is the problem sir?”

Tharang answered, “I am not feeling well”
The driver said,”Oh, Ok”

The auto had a clear road to drive through as it was a midnight.

The auto reached Guindy and Tharang got down of the auto.

He paid him off.

The level of Stomach pain of Tharang did not decrease.
A government bus arrived at the Guindy bus stop. It got headed towards Neyveli.

All Neyveli Buses have to cross Villupuram.
Hence he got into the bus.

The conductor saw him sick and asked, “Sir, what happened?”
Tharang said, “I am not feeling well”

The Conductor asked, “Can you travel?”
Tharang said, “Yes”

Chapter 2: The Hospital

Tharang’s stomach pain increased and reached its largest level.

The bus was moving in the dark night.

The stomach bulged due to gas and he had a pain and burning sensation in his chest.

He was losing his balance.

His thoughts now changed to seek a doctor’s help on an urgent basis.

As the bus was moving in the dark, the next town was Melmaruvathur.

Tharang knew that Melmaruvathur had a 24 hour Hospital facility.

So, he thought of getting down there.

It was around 2 O Clock when the Bus reached Melmaruvathur.

Tharang got down the bus at Melmaruvathur.

He was almost in a critical condition.

He took an auto to reach the Hospital.

At that time, there was no duty doctor available.

Only a duty nurse was available.

Tharang explained his problem to her.

She diagnosed him and found that he was suffering from the gastric problem.

The level has increased too much and that is why he had too much trouble.

She then discussed with her duty doctor through the telephone.

Then as per the doctor’s advice, she gave an injection in his blood vessel.

Then she took Tharang to the nearest ward and laid him down there.

Tharang got a good sleep there.

She said, “Sir, you will be alright, don’t worry”
Tharang slept.

Tharang woke up at 4.30 a.m., he found himself in a better position.

The Nurse came again at that time and asked, “Sir, How do you feel now?”

Tharang said, “I feel Better madam”
Nurse said,”Ok please take rest, I will come afterward”

She got back to her workplace.
Tharang enjoyed the beauty of the nurse at that time.

By Morning 6.30 a.m., Tharang woke up and now he felt confident of walking by himself.

He walked and went to the nurse’s room.
The Nurse asked, “Sir, are you alright?”

Tharang said, “Yes Madam”
The nurse said, “Please take rest sir”

Tharang said, “No Madam, I need to go to Villupuram”
The Nurse said,”Oh I see”

Tharang said,” I will make my move madam”

The Nurse said,”Ok Sir, take care; please have some light coffee or milk before travel”

Tharang said, “Sure madam, I will”
Tharang moved away from the Hospital.

He was not able to forget the face of the Nurse. It made him make a smile.

Chapter 3: The Cabin of the Nurse

After, Tharang left the place, at 7 O clock, the telephone on the table of the nurse rang.

The Nurse answered, “Hello”
The other end said, “Hello darling, this is Sharath”

The Nurse said, “Hello darling, why are you not coming to see me these days?”

Sharath said, “I have a lot of Work my darling”
The nurse said,”Oh! If you have a lot of work, then you will forget me?”

Sharath said, “Sorry dear”
The nurse said, “Last night, I saved a guy”

Sharath said, “Bingo, great, what was the case?”

The Nurse said, “The guy had serious gastric trouble, and he had vomited blood and got blood in stools”

Sharath said,”Oh is it so?”

The nurse answered, “Yes man”
Sharath said, “Then, how is he now?”

The nurse said, “He is fine, he has left”

Sharath said, “Left the place, how could he leave your place?”

The nurse said, “I don’t know”

Sharath said, “Maybe he is a good guy”

The Nurse said, “I don’t think so, I saw his eyes, it had a light of romance”

Sharath said,”Oh my god, you are a great Judge”

The Nurse said, “Hello, this is my duty hour”

Sharath said,”Oh My god you are Duty Conscious, Ok bye”

The Nurse said,”Ok Bye, call me later”

 

 

A Man has a worry about his life that it was not having any major change. His friend suggests an idea. What is the idea? and How does he execute it? is the story of “Burn Your Past”

 

Chapter 1: The Unclean Room
Sudeep was a Bachelor staying in Saidapet of Chennai. Sudeep was working in a private company as an assistant manager.

Sudeep was staying in an apartment, where he shared the room space with some of his friends.

It was the first week of January.

The day was a Saturday and Sudeep was in his apartment taking rest.

It was an official leave for him.

Sudeep got a call from one of his old friends.

Sudeep answered the call, “Hello Ramakrishnan, How are you?”

Ramakrishnan said, “I am fine, how are you, man?”
Sudeep said,” I am not fine man”

Ramakrishnan said, “Why man? What happened?”
Sudeep said, “Life is boring, no change, Nothing”

Ramakrishnan said, “What man, it is a brand new year”

Sudeep said, “But the New year has not brought any change in my life”

Ramakrishnan said,” What change do you expect?”

Sudeep said,” No salary hike for the past two years”

Ramakrishnan said,”Oh that is the problem”

Sudeep said, “Why you don’t see that as a problem?”

Ramakrishnan said,” it is a kind of your opinion”
Sudeep said, “Give me some suggestions man”

Ramakrishnan said,” Do you clean your rooms?”
Sudeep said, “Yes we do clean”

Ramakrishnan said, “How many times in a week?”

Sudeep said, “No, it is not in a week, we clean twice in a month”

Ramakrishnan said,”Oh my God, you dirty fellows”

Sudeep said,” We will be most of the time out of our apartment”

Ramakrishnan said, “So what?”

Sudeep said, “While returning home, we will go to bed direct”

Ramakrishnan said, “Without cleaning your floor?”
Sudeep said, “Yes”

Ramakrishnan said, “Then, how will you get uplift in your life?”

Sudeep asked, “What is co- relation between cleaning and uplift in life?”

Ramakrishnan said, “There is a lot of relationships”
Sudeep said,”Ok, what should I do now?”

Ramakrishnan said, “First clean your room “
Sudeep said, “Then?”

Ramakrishnan said,” Do you celebrate Bhogi Festival?”

Sudeep said, “Yes, we burn some of the old unusable things at home”

Ramakrishnan asked, “Are you doing it regular?”
Sudeep said, “No”

Ramakrishnan said, “Why?”

Sudeep said,” I will be sleeping on the early mornings of Bhogi”

Ramakrishnan said, “Okay, not an issue, but the gist of the festival is to burn your past”

Sudeep said,”Oh! is it so?”
Ramakrishnan said, “Yes, you can do it at any time during the year”

Sudeep said,”Oh is it so?”

Ramakrishnan said, “You take a picture of your room and mail me”
Sudeep said, “why?”

Ramakrishnan said, “Please do it now”

Sudeep took a picture of his room and sent him through an e-mail.

After five minutes again Ramakrishnan called Sudeep.

Sudeep answered, “Yes tell me, Ramakrishnan”

Ramakrishnan said,” I saw the picture, you have an old mattress, right?”

Sudeep said, “Yes”
Ramakrishnan said, “Are you sleeping over it?”

Sudeep said, “Yes”
Ramakrishnan said, “How many months you are using the mat?”

Sudeep said, “Maybe more than 2 years”
Ramakrishnan said, “Then burn that mat tonight”
Sudeep asked, “What? Why?”

Ramakrishnan said, “If you burn some old thing, you will get a change in life”

Sudeep said,”Oh! That is why you asked a photograph?”
Ramakrishnan said, “Yes, I thought of selecting it myself”

Sudeep said,”Ok, I will do as you say, let me see what change it brings?”

Ramakrishnan said, “These are all small beliefs, you do it “

Sudeep said,”Ok, I have some job now, bye”

Ramakrishnan said, “Bye”

 

Chapter 2: Burning the Past

Sudeep had a difference of opinion with Ramakrishnan.

Yet, he decided to do the burning activity.

Saidapet was a well-developed area in the midst of Chennai city.

Hence, Sudeep could not burn his mat during the day time.

So, he thought of burning it in the midnight or early morning.

Then after deep thinking, he came to a decision that he will burn the mattress by early morning 3 O clock in his street.

Thus he kept an alarm to wake him up at 2.45 in the morning. He also decided to do it in a confidential way.

The alarm rang exactly at 2.45 as he expected.

Sudeep woke up and switched off the alarm.
He went to the restroom and refreshed himself.

He then went to the kitchen and took a matchbox.

He came to the bedroom and took the old mattress.

He rolled it up and carried it under his arms.

Sudeep came out of his house and walked in the street.

His street was a narrow one; hence he decided to burn the mat in the next street.

After walking for five minutes, he reached a T-Junction, where 3 roads met.

He kept the mattress on the floor on the road side.

Sudeep lighted the match and threw it on the mattress.

The mat started burning.

Without warning, an old man came running towards him during that night.

The old man shouted, “You idiot, do you have any sense?’’
Sudeep screamed,”Hey! Mind your words”

The old man said, “You fool, you are making fire in a residential area”

Sudeep said, “I am burning the old”

The old man shouted, “This is not the place for that”
Sudeep exclaimed, “Why?”

The old man said,” see, there is an electrical circuit running nearby, first you stop the fire”

Sudeep said, “You allow me to complete my process”
The old man hit Sudeep in his face.

Sudeep did not hit back.
Sudeep took soil from the ground and threw it on the fire.

The fire was ablaze that it did not off that much easy.

Sudeep threw soil on the fire in a continuous manner till it got off.

After five minutes he got success in the process.

The old man was scolding him without break.

Sudeep walked away from the place in a slow manner.

He realized a pain in his lower jaw. It was bleeding.
Then only he got to know that, the old man has injured his lower jaw.
“Aah!” said Sudeep in pain.
He went to his apartment and slept again.

 

Chapter 3: The Injury

The next day morning, Sudeep got a call from Ramakrishnan.

Sudeep answered the call, “Hello Ramakrishnan”

Ramakrishnan said,” What, did you burn your past?”

Sudeep said, “Yes man”

Ramakrishnan said, “How do you feel now?”

Sudeep said, “I feel a pain in my mouth”

Ramakrishnan said, “Why?”

Sudeep said, “I got my mouth injured”

Ramakrishnan said, “How?”

Sudeep said, “because of burning my past”

Ramakrishnan said, “I can’t understand”

Sudeep said, “Please call me later man”

Ramakrishnan said,”Ok, it seems that you are busy, Bye”

Sudeep said, “Bye”

Sudeep cut the phone call.

Suede’s phone rang again.

It was a new number.

Sudeep answered the call, “Hello”

The other end said, “Hello sir, this is Sharath from Psychic readings limited”

Sudeep asked,”Psychic readings? What is this call about?”

Sharath said, “We burn your past by means of some physical activities”

Sudeep shouted,”Oh my god, give me a break man, burn your own past”

Sharath said, “Sorry sir, it seems you are busy, I will call you later”
Sudeep cut the phone call.

Usually people who work in offices of Metropolitan cities, have a hobby of playing weekend sports. In this story, one of the character invites his colleague for a friendly cricket match. What happens next is the tale.

 

Chapter 1: The weekend plan
Rishikesh was working as an assistant manager in Consulting Burger Company.

He had an immediate supervisor by name Dhanrath.
Dhanrath was a friendly manager in the office.

Rishikesh was a good learner in the office.
Dhanrath was three years older than Rishikesh. Dhanrath had obtained skills, which always made the office grow.

Rishikesh gave his full efforts for all the projects.

There was a tight competition in work between both of them.

As Dhanrath had a little more experience than Rishikesh, he had a good clarity while doing the job.

It was Saturday afternoon; Dhanrath and Rishikesh were sitting in their table.

They were working on a project.

Dhanrath asked,”Rishikesh, are you free tomorrow?”
Rishikesh replied, “Yes sir, what is the plan?”

Dhanrath said, “My old colleagues have arranged for a cricket match”

Rishikesh said,”Oh, I see”
Dhanrath said, “Would you like to join us to play?”

Rishikesh said,”Oh, yes, I love cricket”

Dhanrath said,” Then come to the Military Quarters playground near Guindy”

Rishikesh said,”Oh sure sir, at what time I should be there?”

Dhanrath said, “You should be there by 7 O clock in the morning”

Rishikesh said,”Ok sir, I will be there”

Dhanrath said, “Please don’t let others in our office know about this match”

Rishikesh said,”Ok sir, I will”

 

Chapter 2: The Cricket Match

On Sunday, Rishikesh reached the cricket ground by sharp 7 O clock.

Dhanrath and his colleagues were also present on the ground.

Since Rishikesh was new to those colleagues, Dhanrath introduced each of them to him.

They were 20 in number. One of Dhanrath’s close friends Selvam was also present in the team.

They segregated the total number of people into two different teams.

Rishikesh and Dhanrath were in opposite teams.

Selvam and Rishikesh, both were playing on the same team.

Dhanrath’s team won the toss and decided to play.

At the beginning, two of Dhanrath’s friends were batting in the field and

Dhanrath watched their play.

They scored well, until the third over.

The fourth over got bowled by Rishikesh.

Rishikesh took the first wicket by making the player bowled out.

The next player was Dhanrath and he took over the batting pitch.

The eyes of Rishikesh and Dhanrath met.

At that time, Dhanrath saw a vengeance in the eyes of Rishikesh.

Dhanrath did not know the reason for the vengeance.

But Dhanrath thought, “He is just my junior”

Rishikesh ran and bowled his ball. It was a fast bowled ball.

The ball pitched a few feet before Dhanrath and hit his left leg’s knee point.

“Amah!” shouted Dhanrath and fell down on the ground.

Blood oozed out of his knees.

All the boys came running towards Dhanrath.

There was a muscular tear in his knees, and Dhanrath was not able to tolerate the pain.

The boys took him to a nearby two wheeler parking area.

There they made him rest.

One of the boys did first aid for him.

Rishikesh was standing before Dhanrath.

Dhanrath asked, “What Mr. Rishikesh, How many days you had this desire?”

Rishikesh said, “Sir, I don’t have any desire, it was just an accident”

Dhanrath said, “I know that I was just kidding”

Rishikesh said, “Sorry sir, I spoiled your game”

Dhanrath said, “You people can go and continue the game, I will leave after some time”

Rishikesh said,”Ok sir, please go to Hospital”

Dhanrath said, “Sure, I will”

The boys went to continue their game.

After some time, Dhanrath left the place.

 

Chapter 3: Rishikesh’s Home

After completing the cricket match, Rishikesh came home by afternoon.

He went and washed his legs and ate lunch which got prepared by his mother.

Then he went to his bedroom to take rest.

Rishikesh’s phone rang at that time.

Rishikesh answered the phone, “Hello”

The Other end said, “Hello Rishikesh, This is Sharath”

Rishikesh said, “Yes Sharath sir, tell me”

Sharath said, “Congratulations, you have injured my enemy Dhanrath”

Rishikesh said, “Sir, it is my duty”

Sharath said,”Anyways, You are great”

Rishikesh said, “You have promised me to get a promotion”

Sharath said, “I will do it, don’t worry”

Rishikesh said, “Also, this Dhanrath if he is present in our office, I will not get any promotion”

Sharath said, “I will help you in whatever decision you make”

Rishikesh said, “Thank you, sir”

Sharath said, “I will send Rs.10, 000/- to your bank account as a free gift”

Rishikesh asked, “Why sir?”

Sharath said, “You have injured him, right”

Rishikesh said, “Sir, it is just for our friendship”

Sharath said, “No! No! You have risked your public profile in this case”

Rishikesh said,”Ok, I will accept your gift, please send me”

Sharath said,”Ok, I will, please keep the secret within you”

Rishikesh said, “Sure sir, I won’t let it out”

Sharath said,”Ok bye, take care”
Rishikesh said,”Ok bye”

 

 

Human mind tries to seek an explanation for all the events happening around its vision. This is such a story of a man seeking an explanation for an incident in his life.

 

Chapter 1: A lonely place
The place was a marshy land. There was a river running through the marshy land. The force of the river was mild.

The Terrain in which the river flew was a flat one.

Nut grass was occupying on both the sides of the river bank.

The height of the Nut grass was more than 4 feet.

The Nut grass got populated on both the sides of the river bank.

The place got deserted in such a way that people will fear to enter.

But a young man was taking bath in the middle of the river.

The water was running up to his hip level.

He said to himself, “You are a hero Ganesh”

His courage was ultimate that, he was bathing in the midst of that deserted river.

At that time he realized something rubbing his hip from the water.

He turned back to see what it is.

He exclaimed,”Oh! My God, It is a snake”
It was a green snake. It looked vigorous and angry.

Ganesh got afraid and started running in the water.

The snake followed him.

Ganesh turned to see it.

On seeing the Snake following him, he picked up speed.

On seeing Ganesh picking up speed, the snake also accelerated its velocity.

Ganesh ran towards the area of lesser water depth.

He was running towards the bank.

The water level reduced below his knees.

The snake got angry and with a vibrant sound, it jumped over his right leg.

It opened its mouth and grabbed the calf muscles of his right leg.
The snake bit the flesh of his leg.
“Aaaah! “Shouted Ganesh and opened his eyes.
He was lying in his bedroom on the floor.
He then realized that it was a dream. There was no snake or nothing.
He was not bathing in a river. He was just in his room.
He switched on the light and saw the wall-clock.
It showed 12 O clock and it was night time. Ganesh never had such a bad dream in his life.
He still was not out of the dream. He walked towards the kitchen.

He took a Tumbler and opened the tap of the water can.

He drank a glass of water and relaxed for a while.

The night was silent. He analyzed why he could have got such a kind of dream.

He raised some questions to himself, “Did I go to any snake park?”
“Did I go to any river to bath?”

“Or Did I kill any snake in the recent days?”

For all the questions, he had “No” as the only answer.
Again he laid down to sleep. Now there was a clarity in his mind while he was sleeping.

But he still did not have any clue of his dream.
He slept again.

 

 

Chapter 2: A Colleague’s Discussion

The next day morning, Ganesh started from his home and went to the office.

He went to his table to start his work.

He was working in a Media company called Boltz.

The Managing Director of the company was Mr. Rethinam.

Rethinam came to his table for a discussion.

Rethinam said, “Good Morning Ganesh”

Ganesh said, “Good Morning sir”

Rethinam said, “We have a new proposal to make a short film”

Ganesh said,”Oh I see”

Rethinam said,” we have the director in our conference room, will you come for a discussion?”

Ganesh said, “Sure sir”

Ganesh and Rethinam went to the conference room.

There was a guy sitting in the room, who could be at the age of 25.

Rethinam introduced him to Ganesh,”Ganesh, please meet Mr. Mohan”

Rethinam added,”Mr.Mohan please meet Mr.Ganesh, The Company’s Vice president”

Mohan said, “Nice to meet you, sir”

Ganesh said, “Nice to meet you”

Rethinam said,”Mr.Mohan, please tell a short brief about the story to our Vice president”

Mohan said, “A short brief? Is it ok sir?”

Ganesh said, “Yes it is ok because we have much work, your project is already selected, so don’t worry”

Mohan said, “A man tries to link his dream and real life events”
Ganesh asked, “What? How is that possible?”

Mohan said, “He just tries to make a link”

Ganesh said,’’ Ok…continue”

Mohan said, “He has a dream in which he gets chased by a green snake”

Ganesh exclaimed, “What? Green snake?”

Mohan said, “Yes sir, Green snake”

Ganesh asked, “Is that Green snake poisonous?”

Mohan replied, “No sir, generally most of the Green snakes are non-poisonous”
Ganesh said,”Ok! Then what happens in your story?”

Mohan said, “While he tries to escape, it bites him in his right leg calf muscle”

Ganesh astonished, “What? Right leg calf muscle…mmm…ok then?”
Mohan said,” He wakes up from his dream”
Ganesh asked,”Oh! Is it a dream?”

Mohan said, “Yes sir”

Ganesh said, “Why does the dream happen to him?”

Mohan said, “That is what he is trying to search for in the story”

Ganesh said, “How does your film end?”

Mohan said,” The man produces a film with the theme of snake chase”
Ganesh said,”Oh! Then you mean to say, he had a prior vision of his own movie in his dream”

Mohan said, “Yes sir”

Ganesh asked, “Does green snake bites?”

Mohan said, “No sir, it rarely bites”

Ganesh asked, “Then how are you going to film the biting scene?”

Mohan replied, “Using computer technology”

Ganesh said,”Ok, please carry on with your work, I have some assignments now, Bye”

Mohan said, “Thank you, sir”

Ganesh left the room.

Rethinam stayed with Mohan for further discussion.

Ganesh came to his Table.

Ganesh thought,”Oh My god, It is my dream, and it is happening the next day itself, How is it possible?”

Ganesh again thought, “And this guy concludes it with a movie making project”

“It cannot be a pure coincidence”, said Ganesh to himself

 

 

Chapter 3: A Snake Expert

Ganesh took the intercom phone and dialled to the secretary.

The secretary answered, “Hello sir”

Ganesh said,”Sheela, can you send me a cup of coffee?”

Sheela said,” Yes sir, I will send it immediately”

Ganesh said, “Thank you “

He placed the receiver on the phone.

He immediately got a phone call.

Ganesh answered, “Hello”

The Other end said, “Hello sir is this Mr.Ganesh?”

Ganesh said, “Yes sir, May I know who is this?”

The Other end said, “I am Sharath, the Snake expert”
Ganesh said,”Oh! Snake expert! What is this call about?”

Sharath said,”Mr. Rethinam informed me to contact you”

Ganesh said, “About which proposal?”
Sharath said, “They asked a green snake for a movie shoot”
Ganesh said,”Oh! Do you have one with you?”

Sharath said, “Yes sir, I do have”

Ganesh said, “Then you come and meet Mr.Rethinam and talk about your rental rates”

Ganesh added, “And get your dates finalized”

Sharath said,”Oh! Thank you, sir”

Ganesh said,” You are welcome, please be with the project until completion, money is not a matter”

Sharath said, “Sure sir, I will give my best”

Ganesh said, “Thank you, bye”

Sharath said, “Thank you, sir, bye”
