A story that touched my heart...

Few days back....I read one story...it was marvelous piece..and the author wanted that someone take some courage to do the translation of the conversation part which was in Hindi in original...so as to make readable to the international community..
I tried for it..and mailed it to author...


Few hours later..I got an SMS from the author ..but before I could acknowledge of getting the SMS and which was not going to happen soon as I was too low on balance...I got a call from a lady with a very lovely voice...She was so happy that she wanted to acknowledge my effort real fast.. and this was really very appreciative effort of her...we then had a long discussion and I was so amazed by her efforts in the literary field and her plans..I added some of my views..though m a kid to her but to my amazement she listened and actually quite agreed to most of that...and that made me feel more elated...she was lovely to talk.... and yesterday she finally completed the edited version of my translation....and since it's my effort..I want you to all to go through the story and leave her comments ..here or in her blog Arti


Deepak walked silently on the silent road. His footsteps echoed into the silent night as with every step his shoes hit the tarmac road. His mind was racing, churning out ideas, twice per footstep. He was not really the thinker types but tonight he was forced to put on his thinking cap. Someone rightly said that the major problem with telling a lie was not actually telling the lie but remembering it when questioned for the second time.
This was one of the reasons he never lied. But the main reason for not telling a lie was that he was a simple man and had no reasons to lie. He was loyal to his family and he was hard-working and a regular at office. His friends were few but he was truthful to all of them.

Then, what had happened tonight? Why did he have to think about t
he lie he would have to tell at home when his wife would ask him the most obvious question? He never knew something like this would happen in his life, ever. But, there is a first time for everything. He had not pre-planned anything, it just happened. He ended up spending one hour with a hooker.

    just don't know what to say :)

    When it comes to appreciating someone's effort, we should not waste time because when it is our turn to be appreciated, people would always remember how you were to others :)

    u r too young even for thinking abt the things called as deserving a shopping trip or not..u need to shop a lot..u have every right to shop the whole shop to home :P

    I am doing fine..yesterday I had a blast partying..though non alcoholic one but had a blast...met one accident too as I was watching one gal on rear-view mirror of my bike instead of the road..though dint got hurt but it was embarassing falling..jus before her tyres..though the gal was hot and worth falling for..lol

    and then i nearly asked two gals for their numbers...only if they were not accompanied by their parents..hehehehe

    but it was worth a nite..watch few documentaries in the nite and as usual up an running in deaprtment now..its morning 11:30 now..

    do tell me aqbt ur shopping trip..and wat u did today?
    luv n carez

  44. Sourish,

    Nice work man!

    Though I think Mithali's voice lost character in this dialogue:

    "But seriously, you should have not jumped in it; I would have handled it on my own."

    and then it jumps to "Hey baby!"

    I mean it expresses concern and gratitude whereas it was meant in the tone of "You are interfering"

    Anyways, man great job done!

    ReplyDelete
  45. alok..

    thx for the keen review..but wat i got is exactly that wat u said i represented..means it was of gratitude in fst and later coming of other pros it changed to irritation...
    though I will convey it to the author..it's her baby..she can do the changes..if she feel so
