Image
Source: http://fallenpastor.com/ Jagdish returns from work early that day. He sits on the cot unlike his daily habit of going for a bath. His wife Santosh looks at him inquiringly if he is unwell or something. He replies, “ I am just tired, need some rest .” He lies down on the bed and tries to close his eyes but the happenings of the day don't leave his mind.

There was nothing he could do except just execute his duty.

Drought (55 Fiction)

Image
Source: http://images.indiatvnews.com A single tear hung on her eye lashes, unaware about the avalanche that was about to follow.

Perfectly eternal forever we still are but whether he meant together or apart is a question I am still looking for an answer to.
