Burnt Shadows

Time : 7:00 AM Place :Pantnagar ,Uttarakhand I was comfortably dosing in my hotel when the phone rang,it was mom. Mom:Joy ,ekta khub kharap khobor achhe! (There is a very bad news!) P.S - Joy is my pet name. Me:ki? ( what?) Mom : Babusona kalke ratre maara gechhe road accident e! ( Babusona has died in a road accident last night!) Babusona was like my younger brother ...well even more than that... Me: Oh God!I was silent after that. I knew things would not be the same again.We have grown up just like brothers.Babusona was 6 years younger to me.It is a very difficult realization. Its not that tragedies dont happen.Set backs keep coming.Atleast I have simply got used to them.Got ditched and rejected on both personal as well as preofessional fronts.Tell you somewhere down the line things heal quicker now.However thats not always true! The day starts with with the new rays of sun.Calm and soothing.As the day passes the sun comes down harder and harder.Our life starts casting its shadow.
