“Oh, My God! It’s the last day of her stay here. How would I reach Gateway of India ? It’s so fussy out on the roads.” Somehow Aryan reached there and searched for her soulmate but all was in vain. So, he sat panting under a tree, perspiring profusely and closed his eyes. Suddenly he heard some laughter behind himself. He turned back to enquirer who was there. But found none. Just then someone closed his eyes from behind. He was axed to touch the spongy fingers. He caught hold of the hands firmly and turned back only to see his ‘Diva’.
A few years have passed and Aryan still rejuvenates the past golden moments come dancing before his eyes and he stares at Jennifer smiling who he married soon after and now they both have a beautiful baby out of their wed look.
Similarly, Mr. Vaidymathan, an old man of seventy , now a retired custom officer reminds his past glorious life when he always attracted the eyes of people wherever he went. He had two sons and two daughter who are happily married now and are so much busy in their life-nets that they hardly find time to talk to this oldie who receives an alienated treatment in his own house (not home because home is always made of human ingredients filled with humane spirits). He found himself lonely as his wife had also left him five years ago when she died of cancer leaving him all alone. Now not only his children but grand children had time for him . All were busy in themselves caring least for him. One day when Mr. Vaidya Nathan met one of his former colleagues in a park during morning walk. He looked rather hale and hearty and animated too. During their conversation, his friend told him that he had also been facing the similar treatment in his home particularly the aloofness created around himself but when he saw his grandchildren chatting online, he flushed with an idea of following the trend. He further told, “I learnt computer basics from an institute and started chatting on net. Now I have many friends of all age groups and when I feel bore, I chat with my friends and share my joys and sorrows with them.”
