 Sundar was sweating profusely, standing at Dharaa's doorstep. 

Sundar? What's the matter? Why are you here? Come in and have a seat, Dharaa was surprised to see him.

Doctor Mam, I didn't know if you were home but thought of checking. Sorry to barge in like this, Sundar said as he sat down on the coach.

Here, have some water, Dharaa said and increased the speed of the fan.

Sundar gulped down the water. He fidgeted with the glass for a second. He looked baffled. With shaking voice he said, Doctor I think they are going to fire me. I've worked in this hospital for 10 years. I've been sincere and efficient, you know this doctor. But now I really don't know what my further is.... Sundar kept the glass down and dabbed his sweat with his sleeve.  

Why will they fire you? Did you make a mistake in your work? And who exactly are they? Senior doctor or the management?, Dharaa inquired.

I didn't do a mistake but I've blundered. Doctor Mam, I heard them, I saw them, I shouldn't have. It's my fault doctor, Sundar looked terrified as he spoke.

Dharaa asked him to calm down. She inquired the details about what had happened. And was shocked to hear Sundar's words.

What? Plans to bring in more patients? They are creating scenarios for people to suffer so that their hospital can get more patients? No doubt that is why since last year there is a surge of inpatients. Our workload is keeping on increasing. This is nothing less than Bioterrorism. This is not ethical at all...it's illegal...it's criminal, Dharaa exhaled heavily. She tightened her fists in anger. 

I didn't know what to do. But doctor I trust your team. Resident doctor of your team, his duties are reduced for next few days. So that he doesn't interfere or hamper their plans. I really couldn't think of anything so I rushed here. I've a family to support. Doctor please save me, Sundar broke into tears as he joined his palms afore Dharaa. 

Dharaa asked him not to cry. She scratched her forehead and paced up and down across the living room. She halted, grabbed her phone and quickly typed a text.

Can you come to my place? It is very urgent. P.S. HOSPITAL. 

She sent another text to her team members. Does anyone find anything unusual in the hospital, while I'm away?

Dharaa offered some tea to Sundar. And asked him to stay composed. She consoled him saying that they will together find out some solution. They shouldn't be afraid.

Her doorbell rang once again. It was Ayushi. Dharaa had totally forgotten about her. 

Ayushi saw Sundar and raised her eyebrows, asking Dharaa what was happening. Dharaa took her to the kitchen and narrated the story. 

I didn't want to drag you in all this so hadn't told you. I have talked to Tarun today itself. And I need all my people to help us out. You are a blogger Ayushi. You can write an article about this, once we know the facts, Dharaa explained. 

Of course saheli. Do you think I am that frail?  Don't try to protect me please. I'm with you in this, don't worry, Ayushi gave a thumbs-up and hugged Dharaa.

Dharaa's phone beeped. Please open the door. I'm reaching in 5, the text read.

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...
