About The Stories

Barkha
Anshuma Sharma
Barkha is a heartrending tale which depicts the feelings of parents’ grief and mental tormentation when a child passes away while they are still young. It describes the memories of the grief stricken parents Sushant and Kavita who remember the days when their child Barkha grew up, just like any toddler – the simple joys and fun she had but falls prey to the dreaded infirmity called Lymphoma (blood cancer). The story also illustrates about the faint ray of hope which is ever existent despite any adverse circumstance.

A Significant Turn

Gargi Sarkhel Bagchi

The story is about Avinash Mehra, a businessman who worked till his bones ached. He did it, for he wanted his son, Akhil to see better days in future. Even while Avinash is seated at the dining, he can see about his imaginary dealings without much to promise Akhil that he would be present at his football match. A Significant Turn is Gargi’s attempt to bring out the core feelings instilled in every parent’s heart which is subterfuged by their hardworking nature – a nature which might later give them a sense of recognition, even at the sake of the simple smiles and promises.


I Turned Twenty Five

Khushboo Gulrajani

The story ‘I Turned Twenty Five’ speaks about the emotional side of a person which is still a toddler, despite their actual age conveying them to be mature individual when they reach a specific age bar.
