Paawan

P is for Paawan


Paawan.
He traced the name delicately in his diary.He wanted to add a syllable to it. I.
And then he could be Paawani.

"Paawan," he heard his mother call out. The pen slipped from his hand. His heart thumped and he quickly closed his diary, "Yes Ma."

    Such a tragedy. I hope we have the courage to accept people as they are. Or so many will never be able to come out of their entrapments.

    I had to read this thrice to understand the deeper meaning.

    Once I understood it, it was so powerful!! Silly me.

    Short, beautiful and thought-provoking.

    Cheers,
