Unconditional Love

This is the story of Rahul and Ramini. Ramini literally means beautiful. Rahul used to travel by train and sit by the window seat and he longed for a glimpse of Ramini, at her balcony or may be outside her house. When Ramini walked with her high heels on, Rahul's rhythm of Lub-dub was always raised. Ramini always showed up at work in traditional attire. Rahul always knew when she was around. Her jhumka, big bindi, her neatly tied hair, her nose pin of ruby stone, her bangles; It was like a cart procession at the Thanjavur temple. Rahul noticed everything about her. Whenever she passed by Rahul felt like 1000s of violins were played in his head. Rahul used to keep something for her at her desk like chocolates or cards. Once Ramini found a letter among her official file which read as 143 meaning 'I love you'. 

Ramini got really annoyed and she shouted in the office that whoever has kept the letter in the official file should have the guts to talk to her father. When Ramini was so annoyed and her head moved her hair loosened up and it was so long, thick and black. Rahul couldn't resist or hold back his love; he fell for her even more on seeing her beautiful hair. Next day Rahul decided to go and talk to Ramini's father. Upon reaching Ramini's home Rahul was shivering from head to toe. Ramini's father was watching  while Rahul was building up some courage. 

Before he could say anything, the telephone rang and her father answered the call. The call was from the hospital breaking the news of a major accident Ramini had just met with. Rahul along with Ramini's father went to the hospital. The doctors in great pain disclosed that Ramini will not be able to remember anything from her past as she had lost all her memories and she will continue to be paralysed for the rest of her life. Ramini's friends, family and everyone visited her and stayed sad for a long time. 

Eventually everyone stopped visiting Ramini but Rahul visited her everyday without fail. He used to joke and try his best to keep her happy but Ramini hasn't ever reacted to anything. Ramini's father slowly realised Rahul's love for his daughter is so deep and true. After a year Rahul showed up as usual but he had her favorite flowers with him and he proposed to her. Ramini who had not reacted at all in the past one year moved her finger at this moment. 

Rahul got married to Ramini and in the three years of their marriage. Rahul does everything for her, he used to make sure she remains how she used to be with tied hair, big bindi, bangles. Sessions with Speech therapist, physiotherapist in the three years had brought with it some changes to Ramini. 

One day when Rahul kissed her on her forehead before he left for work Ramini with a kajal stick wrote 143 on his hand “I Love You”

2.     Mother's Love It was a hot summer day. There was a chemist along with his assistant doing brisk trade under the mid-noon hot sun. The pharmacist noticed an old woman across the road, staring at the shop for a long time. The shopkeeper suggested to the assistant to take care of the customers in the line and he went to check on the old lady.  The chemist crossed the road and approached her and asked her “why you are standing here alone, do you need any help from me”. The lady said she was fine. She had a son who lives in the city with his wife and three children. He and his family came and visited her every summer but this time he called her up last night and said he is going to a hill station with his family so he will not be visiting her this summer. He might come next summer. Saying this, her wrinkled grey eyes shed tears of pain out of a broken heart.  The shopkeeper was muted for a moment and he had no words for her. The mother held h...

The life each wished for Once there lived two farmers in a village. The farmers were friends and they worked really hard. They, more or less had the same share of land in the village and eventually with time, both of them died in the same period.  After their death both the farmers were in their after life. God asked both the farmers the same question. The first farmer was asked: how was his life and how could have God made it better for him. The farmer was so annoyed and disgraced with all the hardship he had in his life. The farmer said he had no luxury, he and his family barely had anything to enjoy. They struggled to manage each day. God kept quiet and asked the farmer what he wanted to become in his next life. The farmer wished to be someone who is unquestioned and who people gave money to. God blessed him and granted his desire.  God approached the other farmer with the same question. The farmer said he was really glad with the life God had given him. The farmer thanked ...

Strong roots Sangeetha and her husband were staying in a housing colony. Next doors to them lived an old man. Everyone addressed him as grandpa. One day a man who sold plants was in the colony. Sangeetha and the grandpa bought the same plant and planted it in their yard. Sangeetha had her education in agriculture and knew everything about the plant. Sangeetha watered the plant and used the right fertilizers and pesticides for her plant and she was so prompt with her schedule. After days both the plants were easily distinguishable. Sangeetha's plant was so green and flourished beautifully. Grandpa's plant was barely anything.  One evening, thunder and storm rampaged the area, everyone and everything was affected. The whole night heavy wind blew. The next morning grandpa and Sangeetha came out to check their plants. Sangeetha's plant was totally damaged, even the last strand of root was pulled out of the soil by the wind. Grandpa's plant on the other hand was just bent, n...
