Ring a ring...of rings


Dhanya, with a heavy heart, broke off her engagement after knowing that Rakesh secretly had another girl friend. 

When he returned her ring, she declined, saying it wasn't hers.
Then he showed her another, then another, then another...

Finally, he dumped a boxful of engagement rings in front of the shell shocked Dhanya, and said scornfully, " Now you find out your ring yourself!"

Just eyes

Just eyes. Vivek stood at the open door of the stationary train looking down hesitantly at the total darkness outside. Suddenly he heard the voice again bark out a terse, furious order, " Get off immediately, you fool! If the train moves anytime now, you will miss your destination station." The voice belonged to his only co- passenger whom he hadn't seen because of the lack of lights in the compartment. As Vivek was about to practically jump off in a hurry, he felt a hand on his arm jerking him sharply back. " Committing suicide, you idiot? The train is on a bridge and you were about to jump into a river!" It was the TTE.

HIS ONLY GOAL.

His only goal. Damu(short for Damodaran), was a man in his late twenties. His only goal in life, apart from praying to his favorite Lord Krishna, was to play football and score atleast one goal. But, being a chronic heart patient, he could only watch others play. Damu lived in a sleepy village in Palakkad, which, like the rest of Kerala, was crazy about the beautiful game. Damu, by now had seen many generations of youth playing football in the village playground. Every evening, he would turn up without fail to watch the game, after praying at the village Krishna temple. He would plead with the boys to let him play, only to be rebuffed by the more callous ones among them. The kinder ones would explain that it was dangerous for him to play. One day, a muscular young man- never seen before-came to watch the game. Seeing Damu, he ordered the boys to allow him in the field, threatening them with a beating if they didn't comply.  The next half hour was pure heaven for Damu. As he played ...
