Short Story: బ్రతుకే సుఖం - Life is Beautiful

మూలం: మా నాన్న Shri. VLNSK గారు రాసిన బ్రతుకు సుఖం(1979)  ముకుంద్ శేఖర్ నది ఒడ్డున కూర్చుని వస్తున్న - పోతున్న పడవలు ఒకదానిని మరోకటి దాటడం చూస్తున్నాడు. దూరంగా సూరీడు టాటా బై బై చెప్పే పని లో తెడ్డు పడిన నది నీటి తరంగాలలో దోబూచులాట ఆడుకుంటున్నాడు. పొద్దున్నుంచి అందర్నీ ఒక వైపు మాడుస్తునే ఇంకో వైపు బ్రతుకు దారి చూపించి చూపించి అలసిపోయాడు పాపం. పైగా ఇక్కడ డ్యూటీ దిగి ఇంకో వైపు ఎక్కాలి... కొంచెం సేపు ఇలా ఆడుకుంటే తప్పేముంది అనుకున్నాడు. ఒక పడవ లో అటు ఒడ్డుకు వెళుతున్న అలసిపోయిన పెద్దోళ్ళు ... వాళ్ళ మీద నీళ్లు చల్లుతూ ఇటు ఒడ్డుకు వస్తూ అల్లరి చేస్తున్న కురోళ్లు మరో పడవ లో. వాళ్ల గోల మనకెందుకు అనుకుంటూ కొంచెం దూరంగా వయ్యారాలు పోతూ ఈదుతున్న బాతులు ... వాటి పైన గుడ్లూ చేరుకోవాలి అని ఎగురుతున్న పక్షులు. రసికత ఉండాలే కాని ఈ సీన్ ని సీనరి నీ చూస్తూ అలా ప్రకృతి నీ వర్ణిస్తూ గడిపెయొచ్చు. కానీ ... మన ముకుంద కళ్ళలో ఏవో దిగులు నీళ్లు తిరుగుతూనే ఉన్నాయి. అవి తెర దాటి రావు ... మన వాడి బాధ భారం కొండ దిగదు. ఇంత ఆనందం తన చుట్టూ ఉన్న అనుభవించలేని కష్టాన్ని కడిగే పని లో ఉన్నట్టు ఉంది నది ... వచ్చి చల్లగ...

As he saw her move, he thought about the rhythm, that is going on in his head from quite some time. The pattern is a perfect fit and he got his tune set in the rhythm pattern.

Traveller of Destiny!! The radio is playing “Ennodu nee Irundhal” from I, the movie. She was always a fan of Shankar and listens to those songs atleast 10-20 times in a day.

Wanted to share this story of mine with you and all. I read this line or you might say a quote, as my English master used to say, somewhere, “ Fate never seizes to amaze” Never trusted anyone who said that but now I believe in the fate, destiny.

But my stomach never questioned me wrong or right, it just said go get it. There as one of my flesh seller, I met Rasiga Srrenivasan.

When Opposition is a man-eating tiger you have to fight it with a sword, words mean nothing to it..” said King Atharvaa in the council of wise men of Gandhamadana. He continued, “ I know any Nation can only prosper when its’ people are happy and fearless. It is also true that a King’s word is considered as an entire Nation’s promise. My father, the great King of high hills, Amarpratap, gave a word to the people of Jaya that their princess will be my Queen. Had I not honored his word, the entire nation of Gandhamadana would have been guilty towards people of Jaya, for my actions. The peaceful union of these nations would have been forever ruined.

Ankur just ignored her; something more is bothering him. The only family member he is left with, his father, now missing from past 59 hours.

Dissected: Chapter 2 Rivalry with Love

Dissected::  CHAPTER 2: Rivalry with Love     For the Chapter 1  “ The day I was told you will not survive this .. that is the day I lost my will to live. This may be the most destructive feeling I ever had in my whole life but this is what you do to me. You make me weak, dependent and I am not unhappy about it.” Reading this part of the letter, Kousalya threw it away. She doesn’t want to give up. She wants to survive and be the happiest woman alive lying in the arms of her love. But his notes, messages and letters like these, which he sends through emails, texts and hospital staff makes her increasingly paranoid. His acceptance of her death and willingness to kill self for her boils her up so much that she wants to rip his heart out and question, “ Don’t you love me enough to encourage me survive this? Don’t you see that you are weakening me with this jibber jabber? Can’t you understand that living with you and only with you is what I did for ...
