Short Story 1 : A Baby Bear Was Born

A Baby Bear Was Born
                                      - T ABRAHAM

    It was a bright summer afternoon with the hot breeze making it quite hard for the teddy bears to have a nice quiet sleep after their meal. The water in the ponds and lakes have gone down. Every animal of the stuffed animals world were suffering to fulfill their stuffing to provide comfort for the humans. The travel from their world to the humanly world requires a lot of factors to be fulfilled. One among the family which was living here was the Eddies which consists of Mr. and Mrs. Eddy who are waiting for their little bear to be born this very night.

    The summer heat was to the maximum this very day and both of them were awake. 'Do you think his way to this world would be a smooth journey today?' asked Mr. Eddy to Mrs. Eddy. The mother bear of the small bear who is going to come out this very night was really at her weakest stage and was overcome by fatigue and tiredness. Mrs. Eddy was undergoing a severe pain in her stomach and the summer added it's effect to make it more burdensome for her. Mrs. Eddy with a long face said, 'I think our little one might come out very early at the hottest of the time of the day and might release me from this burden'. Mr. Eddy was quite disappointed with her answer and said, 'Why do you consider it as a burden to carry our own child and why do you want him to suffer by coming into the world this very moment?'. Then Mr. Eddy, without comforting her of her pain went outside the bedroom where they both were sitting on an armchair, and he went straight into the garden and went to the nearby supermarket to make a few purchase for his child.

    Mrs. Eddy did not feel disappointed but rather she accepted the response for her words as Mr. Eddy did not react to her as he does on many occasions. 'The hottest of the day is causing the pain to increase in a manifold, I wish a smooth passage for the child and I wish he waits till the night which adds coolness and comfort for me'. After sometime Mrs. Eddy fell asleep in the armchair and the sun sets down and the moon comes out to add the coolness and comfort for which she wished for. Then, Mr. Eddy after making his way through the Hall Street where their house was located was at the entrance of their house. Thinking about how to face Mrs. Eddy after his response to her words was stopping him at the entrance. But suddenly there was a sudden cry of pain and moaning coming from the house and Mr. Eddy was sure that it was his wife's cry. He rushed through the hall and entered the bedroom.

    Mrs. Eddy was in labour pain and Mr. Eddy went in to comfort her. Then they called immediately to their nearby hospital and Mrs. Eddy was taken. Then, Mr. Eddy went to the hospital with all the required money and material needed for their baby. It was already night time and both Mr. and Mrs. Eddy were happy for their child's passage during the coolest part of the day. They believed that it was the right time for the child to come into this world without much suffering.

    Then, Doctor Nosy told Mr. Eddy that a boy child was born to them and he is healthy. Mr. Eddy rushed in to see his child and also Mrs. Eddy and he was jumping in joy from ground to sky. The baby boy was named Stuffy. 'Stuffy... nice name' said Doctor Nosy and Mrs. Eddy. Then, the baby boy started to cry and Mr. Eddy called him thrice, 'Stuffy, stuffy, stuffy'. The baby's eyes were suddenly opened and it smiled and laughed out loudly and baby Stuffy said, 'I am Stuffy'. Everyone were in utter shock and confusion and Doctor Nosy and the Eddies looked at each other. But they could not utter a single word and they stood frozen.

From Miller Memorial Library to the Anna Centenary Library - 25/06/2023

After about a week joining at Madras Christian College (Autonomous) for pursuing my undergraduate course in B.A English Language and Literature under the aided stream I had my first visit to my college library named as 'Miller Memorial Library'. Since, it was my first time I just took a random book from the 'English' section and read it. Then, whenever I had my free hours I started to have regular visits to the library. Till the end of my 1st semester I used to go either to the 'English'or 'Philosophy' section to read. Then, from my 2nd semester onwards I started to use Reading Hall 1 as our syllabus started to have poetry, prose, drama and fiction as I had my own books to read. I felt that my college's library is one among the places that is really good for people who want to use their time productively especially for the arts students.

 One Human Body But Ten Fingers                                                          - T ABRAHAM      Firstly, let me ask you readers a question, 'Why do we have the quality of doing a multiple things at a short span of time?' or 'Why are we always thrust upon with more and more responsibilities and not one at a time?', the answer is not so simple but not complex as well. The idea of multi-tasking is something very unique to the human beings, and every creation by God has some purpose and meaning within itself. The very idea of multi-tasking can be seen in the design of human body, mind and the benefits of multi-tasking seen is many. https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=cartoon+hand+palm&asset_id=145256163      Multi-tasking is doing a multiple array of things which are either our everyday chores, duties o...
