The garden - A short story on honoring our loved ones
A touching short story that's too close to my heart
Hello my friend,
Welcome to another edition of Simpler Sundays by VyasSpeaks.
The last week was particularly difficult because of the internet ban in my local area because of the communal clashes that took place in parts of Haryana and Delhi NCR.
The only thing it made me realize is how much dependent we’ve grown on the internet - be that ordering food, booking cabs, streaming movies, making payments, socializing, and whatnot.
That said, I feel instead of putting a blanket on the entire internet, the authorities should look at blocking certain sites like social media platforms. That way it would be less troublesome for the general public.
By the way, it was also my first week at my new workplace. This is the first time in my career that I’ve made the switch from tech to the education industry. And based on my limited experience of 1 week, I felt that things move much more slowly in education as compared to tech where you are always putting out one fire or the other.
What about you? Which industry do you work in? What’s specific about your industry?
Anyhow, this week I don’t want to waste too much time on the personal updates as I am really excited about sharing the featured post for this week. Based on the tremendous response that my last short story received, I decided to write one more short story.
And without trying to sound arrogant, I want to say that this one is my favorite story that I’ve written till now. This one is closest to my heart because of the theme of the story as well as the personal experiences that shaped this.
I really hope you enjoy this one.
Happy reading!
