irreversible deed,deal it forward


Dec 31st 12:00 PM : Mumbai Satrasta

Loud crackers blasted the streets and drunk people riding on bikes wishing "Happy New year 2013" to all brothers and sisters.
On the other side of the street was a silent group marching with candles with banners reading
"Let this year bring peace and protect womanhood from rapist brutes""RIP : Madhumita"
Few yards away.Nivedh jumped from 15 ft tall wall and in the course bruised his knees.He started to limp faster and looked moonstruck.
People ran hollering looking at him,he was confused and took few seconds to realize that he is still carrying the handgun.
Without further thougths shed it in a nearby trash tank and commingled away in to the celebrating crowd.

Dec 31st 11:40 PM : Mumbai Central Prison

"Kamal take him to cell 423" Ordered the Jail Officer

"What made you to give up" paused and said "Scared of us you rascal"  asked with a raised voice Kamal (sub inspector) coercing  him through the prison hallway 423 where rest of the accused were prisoned in.
He stammered and his mouth mumbled "Sir.I was scared to death."
Kamal with a wicked smile added "So you thought prison-cell would be the best place for you hide,then you are appallingly mistaken Rascals how dare you did that..",he continued to squall at him with gross words
They went near the cell where the other four accused where jailed in.Kamal pulled his key bunch to open the cell when he said to the inmates
"Here" paused Kamal and added "You partner in crime".
"What,he is not one of us,he was her friend,yeah" said one of the accused.
Before Kamal could realize on the happening, he was hit hard back in his head
Nivedh took the handgun out and snatched the key bunch.
Four of the inmates pleaded "please.dont ..dont.."
His mind was constantly playing back the last few pleading voice of Madhumitha
"Please leave me alone.Someone please help.Nivedh wake up..wakeup".
He started shooting at them randomly and mostly targetted below their abdomen ,he missed few shots,that hit other places including ears and the eyes.
423 soon turned bloodshed
More police men came running hearing the gun shot, when he fled out using the key that he pulled from the inspector.


Dec 31st 11:09 PM

Television was screaming loud
"Whole nation is on the rage of the Mumbai Rape at theatre.Protests were so high that New year celebrations in the city hotels/banquet joints have been cancelled.Police are still searching for the fifth accused.No clue have been found yet.Now live from the streets"
People started shouting "Kill them all", one said "Hang them" and few said "Hand them over to us we will take care".."Stone them to death"

He shutoff the television.
He cried out loud "Oh god,what have i done" and was trembling ,he thought the best for him at this point is to go handover himself.Decided and headed towards Mumbai central prison.
The gate was wide opened and no one was around at this time of night.
Suddenly he heard footsteps from the back and was above to turn back,in no time a huge stone hit his face hard it was, so hard that nose and lower upper jaw splayed.
Blood shattered and one more hit back of his head he whirled down and hit the floor.
"I know you will come.I have been waiting for hours here" said Nivedh and threw away the blood stained stone and walked towards the Prison office.


Dec 31st 7:00 AM

A foggy morning and the news paper boy tossed the days paper over the gate and it landed at the door step

The Hindu front page read
"Gang rape victim Madhumitha died at the hospital as the treatment went invain.Doctors said she had serious injuries in her abdomen that caused renal failure.Earlier Peeshar and his friends allegedly taunted the girl, when she was at the movie theater with her boy friend,asking her why she was out late with a man.Her friend, who works for a software firm, intervened. The men turned on him with an fire extinguisher. The girl then tried to protect her friend,infuriating the assaulters. First, they hit her. Then they pulled her to the theatre restroom and raped her.Mumbai police arrested four of the accusedc nd the search is on to find the one accused missing.Also reports say that the boy friend of the victim is also missing post the incident."

Dec 29th 6:00 PM

"No.Am not coming this time.I told you dear,unless you speak to your parents about our marriage,we are not having fun" said Nivedh
over the phone and he tried to be serious
"Jaanu,please,please this year is gonna end in two days,please,please.I swear am planning to talk to ma,papa this new years eve.This time for sure.I swear.I have plans to win over them." convincingly spoke Madhumitha
"No am not beliving this" said him
"Ok" paused she and said in scoring voice "How about a kiss"
Silence and she knew he was framed in.
"Hmmm,this is the last time i am believing you" said he and added "Ok where are we going,your choice hon" he offered.
"8 PM.  New Shireen Cinema.I booked the tickets already.Ranbir Movie yaar.." excited Madhumita
"Ok see you then.But remember this is the last time am coming out with you" said Nivedh

Nee Dhane Enn Ponvasantham - "It could be your love story"


Vishal and Deepika are neighbors,are friends and are school mates !!
Vishal from a middle-class family had aspirations seeded in him, but school time he had a huge a crush on Deepika.
Deepika comes from a rich background and her behaviors could drive every boy to dream to have her as best-half for life long

School-Times

They were immature, but were very close friends.
Deepika would write his class work for Vishal and they prepare together for examinations.They had the fun of sitting together in the school bus during their school trips.They shared every new happening in their life.

And then they went to the same college .

College-Times

The new environment was exciting and both had more time flirting with new friends and 1 yr in college passed.The new acquaintances started to bore them.

They met each other in college canteen.
Vishal looked and said
"You look beautiful..even more beautiful than school days di." Paused for a while and said "let we be friends again?"
She said "Sure"But in the next few months she became very close to him and she gradually fell in luv with him.

Third Year in College 

She said "Vishal..Am afraid am losing myself to you da..i cant live without you da"
Vishal did not say a word and he was confused over this.He strongly believed that such things will grow to be a hurdle mark for his dream future.He cannot let his family aspirations die.These thoughts in him for the past 3 months constantly needled his feelings right at friendship.But he never said "No".Nor did he explained his feeling of a friend-hood to her.
They spent time together. Deepika loved Vishal madly and deeply

Final Year in their college.

Vishal did get his dream job and he was one among the few in their college who got the highly-paid jobs in their campus recruitment drive,
Deepika did not happen to get a job.She did not do well in her academics and spent most of her valuable time with Vishal and thinking about him.

Farewell Day in College:

Now its time for him to say bye to her.Its their farewell day.
He asked Deepika to wait at the canteen.And said he wanted to talk to her something important.
He decided to tell her,that all these days he had no feeling of love over her.

Both of them sat on the bench.Remained silent.
He opened up "Deepika.So we have come to the end.The last day of our college.And i wanted..."
Deepika interrupted  and surprisingly said "Vishal..stop being mushy.I strongly believe that this is the right time for us to concentrate on our career.Lets forget whatever had happened between us so far. Enna solra"
And She looked at him,yes she looked at him straight in to his eyes without a blink.

He start to sweat as he looked into those eyes.It was beautiful.It demonstrated kindness and most importantly pure love.
He constantly looked at those eyes the ones that he has been deliberately ignoring all these days.

She said "Hey..hello what happened.Bye.Am leaving."
He said "I luv you di.I really luv you so so much".And truly this time(within himself)
"You have been sincere with me.But i cant continue this." and she left that place.

True Love never dies.But at times, love that is dead becomes true.

Post College - 3 months:

Vishal joined his dream job but he wasn't able to pull it together. Couldn't do much about in progressing further in his career.
He lost his focus and felt something void in every action that he did.
Yes,he understood that there is no one around for him ,to impress by his acts,to be an inspiration,and to get inspired,there no one around to back him up,value him,treasure him,praise him.There is no Deepika around.
Actualized that every success in his past was made possible by Deepika,the love that she had on him.
He missed her in every co-ordinate of his life for the first time.And he tried to reach her he couldn't find her..

Post College - 1 Year:

After one hard year of missing and finding Deepika,he heard from her family friend that she is part of a social organization down south.
He packed his things to get there and when he heard the news that "Its gonna be thunder storms for the next 24 hrs"
He did not care about the down pour and the storms.Took his car and hit the road.It was pouring heavy,he drove for 90 miles and
it got very hard with the visibility,he pulled over.

Went in to a small shop that was selling some snacks and tea.And when he heard a voice "Mithun,please get me some butter cookies too. i luv it with tea".No identity required, the voice and the message content,he knows its Deepika.

Vishal saw her from a distance.She was smiling and talking.Her voice,her lip stick glazed lips and she started to take a bite of the cookie dipped in hot tea and she looked awesome.

Vishal walked to their table.Stood besides Deepika
"Hi,Are you looking for any help" asked Mithun.

Deepika turned back and was surprised.Paused.Silence.
Then she broke the silence "Hey Vishal,how are you long time." She stuttered and said " Sit,sit here".
Visha pulled back the chair and sat there.In a low tone she said "Mithun can you please get one more tea for Vishal".

"How are you.." he stammered and added "Deepika"
"Am good da,ni eppadi.." she replied back

Vishal suddenly grasped her hands and covered his fac with them.And cried out loud "Deepika am so sorry that i ignored you all the time.Now,now am in pain,I missed you a lot and now i realize that i cannot live without your love.I felt the pain of love.I struggled all these days to get to know about your whereabouts.Now also i was heading to meet you..."

"Here's your tea" interrupted heavily Mithun,
Deepika introduced Vishal to Mithun.

Mithun added "Nice to meet you." and he paused and looked at Deepika and smiled and said
"And good timing as well.Me and Deepika are getting married next month.And now making a list of friends to invite"

A big thunder flashed loud and bright outside. Vishal clearly could sense that his heart skipped few beats and he stood up.

Silence.

"Boss,come-on i was kidding." said Mithun and added "You made it dude,as i was always telling Deepika that one day you will come for her"
and  went on "Deepika joined us 9 months back.She was very hard-pressed and she wanted some time-off.She tried her best to actively participate in our social service schemes.But her thoughts and heart was fully with you Vishal. Everyday she used talk about you and the moments you guys spent together in college."
Tears rolled out of Deepika's cute eyes.
Mithun added "Now Deepika you got your love back and i think he can drive you back home safe from here"

Vishal hugged Mithun and Deepika said "Mithun Thanks for everything" as he left the place.

Vishal took Deepika to his car.The rain was spattering in their windshield as he started the car.
She gazed at him.A look that made him charge up and forget this whole year of missing her.He swtiched on the car audio and it melodized  saindhu saindhu
She smiled and hugged Vishal.She chafed his hair with her dress ends and kissed him.She said "I missed you so much da.I know that you loved me too but you concealed it for whatever reasons that made me to move away from you.But I strongly believed and patiently waited that my love will return for sure.But the pain of waiting and the thought that you may go away from my life for-ever terrified me all the time..but.."

They smiled at each other.

"The battle can be won if you strategically place kindness,respect,fun and some love in right portions at the right positions" - Togetherness
