No flowery verses about sunsets . This is what gets written at 2 AM when the algorithm won't let you sleep. When your feed is full of outrage but your polling booth stays empty. When you're told you're the future but can't afford the present. Inside these pages: I’ve written about society, nature, hypocrisy, money, language, identity, delusion, elections — and yes, even a confused hippo without the use of controversial language. And a father's wisdom that actually makes sense. Some of it will make you laugh. Some will make you uncomfortable. Most will make you think "wait, did I just get called out?"

Doctor & Businessman Exchange
In the heart of a bustling city, a contented businessman and his wife resided in a multi-storeyed building. Their lives were filled with happiness until a chance encounter would test the businessman's compassion.
One day, as the businessman embarked on a routine business trip in his car, he noticed a starving boy on the verge of collapse. Reacting swiftly, he halted his car, preventing the boy from fainting. Though unconscious, the businessman took him to his home, tended to his injuries with soothing sandal paste, provided him with the finest clothes, and fed him with genuine care.
For the first time, the poor boy, named Keshav, experienced such kindness and benevolence. Grateful, he expressed his thanks, acknowledging that the businessman had saved his life.
Curious about Keshav's life, the businessman offered friendship, suggesting Keshav to call him 'big brother.' Thrilled, they became best friends real quick, and the businessman soon discovered Keshav's lack of education and extreme poverty. Determined to rectify this, he promptly arranged for Keshav's admission to a government school, emphasizing every child's right to education.
Expressing gratitude, Keshav entered the realm of education, growing up under the care of the government school. As he matured, Keshav aspired to become a doctor. With unwavering determination, he pursued his dream, eventually achieving his goal.
In the course of time, Keshav, now Dr. Keshav, found himself treating a patient with a severe ailment. Devoting countless days and nights to the patient's care, he played a pivotal role in their recovery.
Upon receiving the bill, the patient anticipated a substantial cost. To their surprise, the bill bore a heartfelt message:
"You have saved my life. Because of you, I am in this position today. Your kindness, education, and support changed my life many years ago. Therefore, the bill is paid."
Dr. Keshav, realizing the connection, encountered the businessman once again. With gratitude, the businessman acknowledged the compassion he had shown Keshav years ago.
Moral:
This story exemplifies the enduring power of compassion and benevolence. It teaches us that helping others, no matter how small the act, can lead to profound and positive transformations in their lives.
