Moments # 36

Son had asked, “Why Abraham Lincoln fought for black people when he was a white himself?” Mother thought for a while and answered, “Lincoln was intelligent, he knew the truth.” Son’s wide and curious eyes made her continue, “You have read physics right? And you know that any color is anything but that color.” Son nodded enthusiastically. She continued, “If we see Negroids as black and other races as white, then think what their actual colors are…” Son jumped in joy! He knew the truth now, to remember always.

Moment # 35

All the time she continued to drift between dreams and memories. Finally when she woke up, it was dusk. Her eyes kept waiting for the shoreline

Moment # 34

“If epics are all about metaphors,” she said, “then who loved Sita more? Raama, who wanted her to go through that fire ordeal, or Raavana, who waited for her consent even though he had the capacity to rape her?” He did not enjoy complexity. He glanced at her and understood she wouldn’t let go. Debate continued, arguments offered for and against the “so-called” protagonist and antagonist. The tired couple went to sleep cuddling each other, without a conclusion.

Moment # 33

They did not get to see each other for decades….. His longing for her gave way for adventures. Her love for him created folklores. The bond was made of unknown elements. The affinity remained a mystery. Their story never ended.

Moment # 32

The horror had halted to an end...Finally. Unconscious bouts of relief made him more thankful to God. But life is always so situational. Soon peace was synonymous with monotony. Routine was synonymous with suffocation.

Moment # 31

He traveled the world after that-- kept drifting from time to time, from place to place. Life was meaningful yet anchorless. The anchor was left behind, frozen in the ice of time. Only the thought of spring haunted, when the ice would melt. He was more at ease with the winter inside him.

Moment # 30

All relatives and close friends had gathered at home to celebrate the newlywed daughter-in-law’s first day in the kitchen. “I’ll hand over the keys today! Enough of responsibilities!” Sushma thought. Half of the cooking was done. Sushma let her cook a dish of her choice. “Mutton rezala. I’m not sure…” The bahu announced nervously. Sushma hugged her with warmth. “I understand.” At lunch, mutton rezala was a hit. Other preparations went unnoticed. The home was warm and welcoming the new member. One heart was turning cold. Sushma found her fist gripping the keys tighter. History was repeating itself.

Moment # 29

“Papa, give him five years. You’ll see.” She had the confidence that love demanded. They struggled together to live up to that unfailing trust. She won the challenge. After five years, he was a young achiever…proud and self-assured. Love appeared redundant after that. He was confident enough to walk alone.

Moment # 28

Waves were touching the toes, heading back to meet others in the horizon. The wind and the sand, idle moments, the taste of salted peanuts, and him. They remained same after all these years. Counting the waves unconsciously, his mind trailed back to the time when his footprints on the sand were not lonely. “Rotten peanuts!” He spewed it out-- gargled immediately. He needed to get rid of the aftertaste.

Moment # 27

Everything appeared inappropriate, exasperating, or menacing; “That fu**ing door bell!! My brain will burst in my skull!” “Godforsaken idiots did not deliver the newspaper yet! When am I supposed to go through it?” “Why can’t they have minimum common sense to put that at the other side of the road? Idiots!” Dissatisfaction tethered him, in and out, around. Until one day, he happened to befriend his imperfections, which were in him, in his life. The knot was released. Everything he saw was pleasant thereafter.

Moment # 26

The inevitability does not threaten. The certainty does not sap the thrill. The long intervals never matter. The distance never changes a thing. The earth awaits the monsoon. The rain falls, rightfully. Every time they meet, wonders happen. Shorty stories, tiny stories,

Moment # 25

Balloons and bubbles, remote cars and bikes, storybooks and color pencils, cartoons and 3Ds, a playground and friends, surprises and giggles, KFCs and Dominos, school and teachers, a home and a father. The kid has it all. He laughs a lot. He studies well and is always in competition. But often comes a moment when he lies, about one thing, repeatedly. “I don’t have mother.” She had to leave. And his little heart couldn’t fathom why. tiny stories, stories in moments, shortest stories, lifetime in a moment, moments, moments in life

Moment # 24

Baby! I’ve a meeting to attend. I will be there before you know it! Please try to understand! Now enjoy your birthday without wasting time! Ohh yes! Let me know how you like your new car! Muwaah! The answering machine stopped. Her thoughts trailed back to last year. She wanted to plan a baby on her birthday. He said, Where’s the time? She has waited for too long for many things for his time to buy for her. It’s about time. She took the keys of the new car. She packed her things for a road trip. Alone. Without wasting any more time. lifetime in a moment, moments in life, stories in moments, tiny stories, memories, www.pintsizedstories.blogspot.in

Moment #23

Every time he used to get an extra roasted papad. The Sundays of mid-July were meant for hot Khichudi and potato stir-fry. The smell used to pull him to kitchen before lunch time. Between the heavy showers in Kolkata, the venture was often turned into a quest of a quick cuddle. “This year the monsoon is too cold.” Tears trickled down from his eyes. The view was clear now. He started counting the raindrops on the windowpane.

Moment #22

Bad grade. Aged 5 and a half. Papa scolded. Mom had smacked quite hard. Teachers weren't kind enough. "Suspended from school due to lack of seriousness." Room is dark. Tom and Jerry still quarrelling inside stomach. It’s monsoon. stories in moments, tiny stories, Monsoon, lifetime in a moment, shortest stories,

Moment # 21

The cake came out of the oven looking perfect! “You and cooking!” He imagined the amazed look on her face! “Now, the icing… the most important part!” He told himself. He wanted her birthday to be special, the best of their 5-year old live-in relationship. He poured his heart into those two words, “Marry me!” He did not notice her watchful eyes, did not hear her heart murmuring a “Yes!!!” …already, moments, moments in life, shortest stories, tiny stories, stories in moments, http://pintsizedstories.blogspot.in/, cooking, memories, lifetime in a moment

Moment #1

How we feel in a particular moment can at times describe a lot about an entire life time. This blog is about such moments. 

I'll be happy if you too contribute stories of such moments from your life.
