Togetherness (WR)

AtoZ-BADGE [2015] - Life is Good

She may shout, she may howl but she is there for me when I need her most.

He may falter, he may be casual but he is there for me when I need him the most..

Parents need love, kids need love.. a one time lunch or dinner together by a family with no discussions of conflicts, no discussions of issues.. only smiling, watching Doremon cartoons or Disney World and kids love to see their parents together..

Dear Jane, I know you are unhappy because he is always arguing with you, finding faults, but do you know a fact, that he is the only one who never forgets to appreciate you in public and don’t you feel appreciating someone truly means that person respects you?’

Jane reads the letter sent by her best friend Mary and looks at the family photo besides her..

Is EGO beyond human relation and need to be remain inflated? For togetherness can we get flexible?

Jane washes her face and calls up John

Jane ‘Am returning back to be with you’

John ‘Thanks a lot.. Nia is waiting too.. We are struggling to cook noodles.. Should we wait for you?’

Jane ‘This is what I hate about you.. you will make a mess of the kitchen and I need to sort it out. Coming in 30 minutes.. was in my friend’s house for a week..’

John ‘I know.. I too make grumbles.. hope i suppress again.. so welcome back after our 18th split in last 7 years’

Only for you Sweetheart

Julie never realized what hit her when she saw a smile on her CEO’s face and he whispered ‘Only for you sweetheart’.

She had been gifted a costly mobile phone and was also given an increment..

Julie ‘Sir.. hope it is not indecent proposal’

CEO James begins laughing ‘No.. It is a decent one.. I guess’

Julie ‘Let me be clear.. i don’t like this’

CEO ‘Just call you sweetheart makes you go weak in your knees’

Julie ‘Am engaged’

CEO ‘What if you would have been single’

Julie pauses a bit and doesn’t reply

CEO ‘Not sure, but we seem to have KARMIC relation’

Julie raises her eyebrows..

CEO holds Julie’s hand..

Julie just leaves from the office.

Next day CEO gets an email from his headquarters ‘He has been posed a case of Sexual Harassment’

CEO rushes to Julie…

CEO ‘Julie.. i just called you sweet heart and may be touched your hand’

Julie ‘I had already informed that I am not used to it..’

A few days latter, CEO is terminated from his job..

Julie is on her way to home.. CEO James pops out from a cafe shop and takes her in side

Julie ‘Why you behind me’

James ‘Tell me what is my age?’

Julie ’60’

James ‘Yours?’

Julie ’22’

James ‘Where do your parents stay?’

Julie ‘None of your business’

James again holds her hand..

James ‘For my sake inform me.. I have initiated a start up and was anyways planning to leave that company’

Julie ‘Thanks for information. Not interested’

James ‘How is Sarah’

Julie suddenly has pain in her eyes

Julie ‘How you know her?’

James ‘Am her husband and you are my daughter’

Julie has tears in her eyes

Julie ‘You left mom and never returned’

James ‘I always wished to be with Sarah but she wished a nucleus family and i am more or less a family man.. Didn’t wish to separate from my ailing mother’

Julie ‘What proof you have that indeed you are my father’

James opens his facebook account and shares the album..

Julie is also seen when she was just 3 year old.. She recollects..

Julie hugs James tightly..

James ‘It is strange.. I could never inform to that office only for one reason that I didn’t want your career to be affected and I didn’t wish to interact with Sarah as she tends to be over reactive..’

Julie ‘Can we both visit France where she is staying’

James ‘I know… Let us book the flight’

3 days latter

Julie knocks at door

Sarah opens it and finds James..

Sarah ‘After all these years.. A pleasant surprise’

Julie ‘I got to know whole thing about how i got the job.. My pop was tracking me all along’

Sarah ‘He is a devout family man.. No surprises.. I am so used to being independent since i was in hostel since childhood that I stopped caring for elders, even I neglected you.. Am sorry.. I am not perfect but do wish to attempt a family togetherness again’

Sarah hugs James..

Julie is smiling at this re union.

Puzzle

Sprinto was an expert in creating Puzzle. He would wrack his brains to create alphabetical and numerical puzzles.

One day he released his new puzzle. He was happy that folks were enjoying the mind stimulation exercise..

He sees an advertisement “We need a puzzle solver to resolve human issues in mathematical way and not stimulate brains”

Sprinto enters the office and finds only Miss Brinda

Brinda :”You need to resolve only one question”

Sprinto “What?”

Brinda “Can you mathematically inform why a couple fight?”

Sprinto “1 + 1 =2,    11+11=44”

Brinda “Means?”

Sprinto “If we think individually, we add up to only 2 thoughts and If we think together we add up to 44 thoughts- Brain Storming”

Brinda ‘Isn’t it a simple question?”

Sprinto “Yes = which is the difficult one?”

Brinda “why do 1-1 = 0 and 11-11=0?

Sprinto “Up Man Ship kills the purpose of Togetherness”

Brinda “Sprinto I never knew you could understand numbers through philosophy”

Love in its pure form

i looked at the eyes
it stared at me
hopelessly loosing hope
I held the hands closely
and looked deep in the eyes
it has moistness
questioning why I did so
the eyes looked longingly
for moments of togetherness
Without words
we just sat together
nature at its best of greenery
birds chirping
echoes of holy chant far off
the eyes again looked
at each other
there was pain
there was joy
there was mixed emotions
and then a rose
given.. it remained
in the hands of both
a few petals shared
by both and
with hope of
being friends forever
without questions
without answers
the moments ended
awaiting other
moments of togetherness
