Image
It's been a week since they both saw each other. Valentino went on an official University trip whereas Minerva is still in college looking for him everywhere. The week passed and Valentino arrived home. The next day he continues his daily routine but he doesn't know today is a special day which is going to affect his mundane activities he does regularly. When his classes get finished Valentino sits on a stone bench and looks at a leaf which falls from the tree. He sees a burning comet approaching him at its maximum speed. It's Minerva with a red face, sighs and asks Valentino, I missed you so much but you are a brutal guy who left me behind without saying a word. To put down the ember on Minerva's face he apologised to her and said I've a surprise for you. Minerva gets excited and she asks what it is? But Valentino said wait, it's a surprise I'll take you somewhere that you have never been before. Her excitement grows rapidly. Valentino holds Min...

  Part 3: Hey Minerva!     Yesterday he found her name. Today he is sinking not only in the beauty of her face but also in the name Minerva. It's midnight 12o' clock now, he is standing in front of the mirror constantly practising how to approach her. The time passed like the clouds. It's 1 o'clock, and his classes are already finished. He is just standing near the stone bench waiting for her. He gains confidence by taking a deep breath, he sees her coming from a long distance slowly, her face gets clearer and she comes nearer to him.     He gets nervous, but somehow he manages to put his foot down and says " Hey Minerva !" In an enlightened tone.  She turned back and replied Yes, Hi. Who are you? He says I'm Valentino and I've a crush on you. Can we go on a date Tonight? The silence took over the place for a while. They both heard the sound of the chirping birds and breeze. There was nothing to interrupt them. During the silence her b...

BEYOND THE HORIZON Part 2 : Knowing the name!

     When he entered the library he rotated his blue eyes around the entire library. Luckily, she was reading a book with her head down. Today she didn't even notice him. She is doing her work such as reading and writing. He got upset, his entire mood went off. He starts to overthink, but he doesn't know that she has already put an eye on him. He is constantly thinking why she is not seeing me. He failed to read his subjects he reads every day in the library but he didn't forget to watch her eyes often. It became his habit. He doesn't know that she's smiling inside, but because of not showing the emotions on her face, his mind and heart is screaming. Her black eyes have already captured him. She is more curious than him thinking who he was? He's so cute and I want to find his name. The same feeling grows into his mind. He is also trying to find her name, unfortunately he didn't find her name today.  The next day, he is listening to songs under a tree sitting...

  Prudence beyond the practice:   When my cousin's marriage was fixed, we were very happy,excited except my uncle who started making budgets because we started 🛍️ shopping!But here also a marriage was fixed,their family and their kins went catching ants especially   black ants. Sounds weird right?Yeah! It is a culture followed ritually by one of the primitive tribal groups in Ooty.    You might ask what they do with ants. My question was the same when I heard about it.But it is really interesting that they add the ants they caught,in milk and then they hang the pot of milk on the roof.Once the marriage was over, obviously the special night comes.They mix the so called ant fermented milk in the first night milk and make the couple to drink.I am not sure about the taste of the milk, because I have never experienced!But jokes apart,it is belived by the tribal people that the milk increases the fertility of the drunked people. To get rid of infertilty i...

In the early hours of the day, even though the sun has not shown its face the time is 4:58 4;59 and finally at 5:00a.m the alarm starts ringing and a young boy not yet 18 named Valentino wakes up from his dream, gets out of his bed and turns off the alarm. After finishing his morning routine he started dressing. He spends a lot of time dressing, thinking about a woman and to impress her. He makes his hair perfectly and ties his shoes perfectly. He departed from the hostel and made his way to college to attend his boring lectures. He enters his class at 8:00 am. The classes are going and the time is gradually fading. Now it's 1:50 he can't control himself each and every second he's noticing his wristwatch. The bell rang. He left his class and ran to his eatery and finished his lunch as soon as possible. He does this all to see a girl who is older than him. He doesn't know who she is and where she is from. The only thing he kn...
