కథలంటే పేజీలకు పేజీలు ఉండాల్సిన అవసరంలేదు. కథావస్తువును సమర్థవంతంగా చెప్పగలిగితే నాలుగు పంక్తులు చాలు. అవే ఈ చిన్న కథలు. ఆంగ్లంలో ఉన్నా అర్థవంతంగా, గుండెను పిండేలా, మనసును తడిచేసేలా ఉన్నాయి. అందుకే వాటిల్లో ఉన్న తడి ఆరకుండా యధాతథంగా ఇంగ్లీషులోనే అందిస్తున్నాం. పదికి పదీ ఆణిముత్యాలే. ఎవరు రాసారో తెలియదు కానీ, ఓ మిత్రుడి ద్వారా వాట్సప్లో నన్ను చేరింది. ఆ అజ్ఞాతరచయితకు వేవేల వందనాలు.
1) She was very excited
today, as the
school was re-opening
after a long summer
break. Now, once
again, she could start
selling stationery at
the traffic signal to
feed her family.
2) She, a renowned artist
and a strict mother, often scolded her 6 year-old son for he
could never draw a line straight. As he breathed slowly into
the ventilator, she begged him to make one more crooked line
on the ECG.
3) “Everyone goes with
the flow… but the one
who goes against it
becomes someone
remarkable.” Before I
could explain this to
the traffic police, the
man issued me a fine.
4) Their love was different. She was happy every time he kicked her in the stomach. Every time he kicked she loved him more. She waited for the time she would hold her baby for the first time.
5) All my toys are yours..!
Read her brother’s
death note.
6) They took his father,
and only returned a flag.
7) At 25, I became a
mother of one; at 27 I
became a mother of
two; and today, at 55, I
have become a mother of three!
My son got married today,
and brought home his wife!
8) “Born to rich parents,
this boy is so lucky,”
exclaimed the neighbors!
Somewhere in heaven, three unborn sisters cried.
9) “You ruined my career,
I was supposed to be an
Executive Director,”
she thought to herself. The little
angel held her finger
tightly and she forgot
everything; A mother
was born.
10) Once a 5-year-old boy was standing barefoot in the shallow water of the ocean. He was
repeating the same
sentence to the waves
– “Even if you touch my feet a
thousand times, I won’t forgive you for taking my parents away”
– చంద్రకిరణ్
