Need ur inputs……..
My first experiment
Gauri was a social worker moving across villages to spread the awareness of literacy and social responsibilities. She was very expressive and was able to draw the villagers with her practical and useful talks. She started a night school. And many farmers and workers started attending it.
Shankar was from a poor family depending only on the farm he owned and he was struggling to get a two square meal for his family. He had two daughters and he was sending them to a nearby government school. He knew the importance of education and though he never had an opportunity to study, he did not want his daughters to be like him.
When Gauri started the school he was the happiest person as it was a blessing in disguise for him to be educated. He started attending the night classes conducted by gauri and was even convincing his wife to come with him. He slowly started with letters and gradually was improving.
Gauri was now overwhelmed at the response received from the villagers and was determinant to take them to the next level of village welfare.
As usual the heads of the village were seeing it as a threat for them and tried to stop Gauri and her initiatives.
But she was not the one to back off; she went to the district collector with all the details and explained to him the conditions that prevailed in the village.
He said that as the heads were against it, if he receives a petition from the villagers, he would be able to help them out.
She had come back to village and put forth her view of submitting a petition. Some villagers were afraid that by getting involved with the petition, they would come in the bad books of the village heads and were not willing to take part in it.
Some of them were brave enough and had faith in her and they started signing in the petition paper. It was Shankar's turn and as he was closely associated with the village head, it required lot of courage to accept and then stand by the conviction given by her.
He then gave his thumb sign on the paper.Gauri knew his association with the village head and was surprised to see Shankar involving himself in this act.
He got a pat on his back. “That’s wonderful!” she exclaimed. “A thumb made the difference.” His pained smile said it all. He so wanted to sign in letters and not by thumb impression. He was determined that that in the next few weeks he would learn to spell his name and start using it as signature.

No…….Not at all……
I was just going through a blog which gave one sentence and asked the bloggers to weave a story around it….
And just see the imagination which runs on a human mind and brings out even the minute details about the character…Really AmaZing

He was very precise and articulate.he planned everything and executed them to the end..
His calender was scheduled all the week and the whole of next week..And for the colleagues he was the 'perfectionist' and the BOSS
though he smiled and talked too.. everyone wondered what his next move would be ..
After slogging for almost a year he got the break through he wanted ...a Pat on the back by his boss ..the much need ed hike ..a company flat... all ..
..3 years in a row without going home this was the longest period of staying away from home ..
he could not leave his work for long and promised to stay a week at home..
things have undergone a sea change at home ..his parents aged more than he imagined ..and his sister looked at him with aloof eyes..
it was time to make some commitments they told him..and as a surprise move they went to meet a girl ..
..It was a pleasant meeting..and he actually wanted to be at longer time at home..he wanted to call and make some moves ..which surprised their parents ..and asked him to take some time in thinking further ..
the girl waits for his call with stars in eyes because she knows she has just met a nice person..
...
he went back and got absorbed again in his work..all the right moves ..and as a surprise the company closes down..and many lose thier jobs ..he being a part of it..
years roll by..and he comes back to India for final settling..
..and when he stops by a book shop ..he bumps into her ..
though she looked a bit older (of course ..!!) ..she almost was the same..
he cannot stop now and goes to talk to her..and she recognizes his voice from an old memory bell..
she is married and has a 10 yr old son ..
she listens to his glories at work ..his old battles ..his way down and up ..
..his new company..his position ..and all..
his pained smile gave it all off..

“He got a pat on his back. “That’s wonderful!” she exclaimed. “A thumb made the difference.” His pained smile said it all.”
