 Cool breeze was blowing through the surroundings as the evening turned darker. 

Is Sir okay? Did he sleep well?, one of the agents asked Dharaa.

Yes he is still sleeping. He will feel better when he rests more. The pain is subsiding slowly. Your Sir is a tough man, he's responding well, Dharaa said as she scanned Prithvi. His arms and legs had scars from the past, probably rewards of many such missions.

Mam, there's a blanket in the cupboard, you will need it. It's getting colder, said the agent to Dharaa.

Dharaa took out the blanket and placed it on the sofa adjacent to the bed. 

She relaxed on the sofa and her phone beeped, Where are you? You were not at the hospital. They said you're on leave. Are you okay Dharaa?, it was Ayushi's text.

Dharaa stepped away from Prithvi's bed to talk to Ayushi. She didn't want to disturb him.

I'm out of town for work Ayushi. Let's meet when I come back, she said. 

Are you alright? Tarun and me were worried. You never vanish like this without letting us know. Are uncle and aunty alright? You take care, Ayushi sounded concerned. 

Saheli, don't worry. Everything's okay. I'm busy with some work, nothing serious. You take care too, Dharaa mollified her concerns.

Her phone rang again. Something is not right doctor Mam. The hospital authorities have suddenly changed many rules. Resident doctor and your team is having a hard time, Sundar complained to Dharaa.

Sundar, I will see when I'm back. You'll  take care. Don't say or do anything hastily, Dharaa calmed him down.

She stretched her legs on the sofa and sat there with preoccupied mind.

Are you going to sleep on that sofa?, Prithvi asked as he woke up and saw Dharaa sitting on the sofa, engrossed in her thoughts. 

Dharaa snapped out of her thoughts. It's better to let the patient have the bed, isn't it? Your chivalry you can show some other time, Dharaa said with a grin.

You are one stern doctor, aren't you? I wasn't offering you the bed anyways, Prithvi said giving a grin back.

Is something wrong at the hospital? Is there a problem?, he inquired.

Just like your personal affair, this is my personal matter. You should be resting more Prithvi, don't stress yourself, Dharaa said. 

This isn't your personal matter Dharaa. It's a national matter and we all are involved, Prithvi emphasised. 

What exactly do you mean? How does our hospital concern you?, Dharaa was not sure what Prithvi meant.

I am not supposed to tell you this but the reason I'm lying here injured, is because of your hospital's director, Prithvi said. 

Dharaa's eyes opened wide, she couldn't believe what she had heard.

Diary 2024

  And 2024 ends..... What a roller coaster ride!  Every year passes by and the new year comes afore, leaving you with something and making you leave something.  It would be quite odd if time doesn't indoctrinate our minds. This year taught me so much, like the previous one and the prior ones too! I have learnt valuable lessons thanks to 2024. The year was challenging, demanding yet gratifying.  What I grasped this year would be exemplar for rest of my life!  The fear of losing your close ones, leaves you petrified. While the close ones are battling, struggling with all their mights, you feel helpless even when you have honest intentions of support. Mental support, yes that can be given in abundance, there's no ceiling to it. But the one you intend to support is going through so much that sometimes just being there, showing up is also helpful.  Sleepless nights, nightmares haunted me for days. But then when you see them valiantly striving and vanquishing the...

Moira : Bound to happen! Chapter - 1.

Image
She was sitting on the bench under the huge tree. Its extensive branches covered few more benches around. The park was a hangout place for teenagers. It was a playground for children and a perfect site for the exercise enthusiasts. People jogged, wearing headphones, determined to shed those extra kilos and be fitter, sticking to their new year resolutions, was a familiar sight here.  Yuga wasn't feeling the vibe today. She had left home as usual, early in the morning, in her tracks and tee to run a few miles, but after three rounds she just sat down on the bench. She saw an old lady taking rounds, walking slowly, but with vigour. The tree was shedding it's aged golden leaves. One such tanned foliole fell beside Yuga on the bench. She picked it up and let it descend on the ground. She switched off the songs playing on her phone. With air pods in her ears, she sat inert on the bench. She closed her eyes and could hear the birds chirping. "They are so happy even at the break ...

What's your plan?

 "You've to score good grades at school!" "You've to do your Olympiads!" "You need to have a co-curricular activity or some sports activity!" "You should be able to dance or sing or play a musical instrument!" Oh my my! So much pressure on these little one's learning to adapt and traverse the lanes and by lanes of this complicated world. "But its a rat race! He/she needs to figure it out sooner. Studies, career, universities, the stress builds up as they advance into their grades (classes), isn't it?" Yes, true. It's a tough task for the coming generations. Population is ever increasing. Even though the colleges and courses are increasing in numbers but we have no say on the quality of education they impart. Also the leading universities and colleges are always the first priority, obviously. So the newbies are looked down upon. Also the reservations hinder the paths of many. Well, so what score is a good enough score...
