Post Box - A Short Story

-
  *Post- Box* - A Short story _(Published in September 2018 issue of WEC)_ I contain the dreams of a   child; the dreams of a talented child. The little girl? Her name is Vancha. I am carrying her first poem, which is going to be published. It is called ‘Mysteries of the universe’. I just got dropped into a post-box in the Subramanyapura locality of Bangalore City. I will soon be travelling from this suburban place in Bangalore to a place in the eastern region of my country. My destination is Kolkata, the city of writers and painters. A city of great divides. Here, the spiritual locks horn with a grossly materialistic culture and loss of religion. Yet, this city gives rise to visions. There is a certain queer intensity of life, which can be experienced only in Kolkata. I am going there to an editor, a retired bureaucrat, who has spent more time writing and editing than doing bureaucratic work. The government job fed his body, and the writing feeds his soul. He is a hap...

The Brave General ( A Poem)

-
 *The Brave General ( A Poem)*  The brave General, Marched on and on! Seeing the formidable enemy, His army became forlorn. Turning their backs on the General, They disappeared on that morn. The brave General, Marched on and on. He turned and to his profound shock, Found that his men were gone! The brave General marched on and on, Seeing the General with his serene visage, The enemy weakened with the fear, That they would be mercilessly torn. Expecting to see a great army in a while, The enemies decided to leave and be gone. The brave General vanquished the fleeing men with ease, Marched on and on. Back home to a hero's welcome, He thanked his soldiers in front of all, The people shed tears, Someone in the crowd said, "What brave men we have!" "Yes," replied the brave General, "Without them, Would I have been able to march on?"  _S.Padmapriya_

Nostalgia! ( Flash Fiction)

-
 I suddenly remember the time when I was 17 years old. It was the happiest time of my life. A romance or two were brewing...but nothing spicy or delicious took place in reality for whatever reasons to be able to leave a lasting impact on my romantic consciousness. I recall those days now. It is nostalgic- a bitter-sweet memory. I wish I had a special memory or two to hold on to when I sit here, uncared and unloved for in an old age home. Flash Fiction by Dr.S.Padmapriya
