WOW: Being Watched!

Yay!!! It's now a WOW post!


'One Thing They Didn’t Know That They Were Being Watched'   


All the arguments as if became pointless, the tough decision disallowed appeals to reach those standing inside the gate. ‘Thump’! With a loud bang, the curly haired man threw old hold all and trunk out. The neighbors, a curious and loyal audience to the family drama, now quietly waited for the climax.

Despite pleadings and curses, the two feeble bodies were given a push. Sitting outside, they did say something with watery eyes and quivering lips but those on the other side, did not know that language so, the conversation was snapped. 

Inside, quite relieved of the garbage, they heaped on the sofa. One thing they didn’t know that they were being watched carefully by a light-eyed eight year old boy from that high round window; one that stood as a witness to the same drama played by those outside the gate, some three decades back, when a curly haired child saw all that, through it, carefully…

  2. Wow! Impressive writing with refined use of language.

    Children are great imitators, so they should be given something worthy to imitate and not hatred. Cause whatever they absorb at tender age remains within and will influence their choices later in life.

    It is a pity that elderly parents get mistreated when they actually need help, support and comfort.

    Someday everyone gets old, ageing is natural and there is no escape, so the circle of Karma will treat you right if you treated your parents right.

    Well written, all the best!! :)

    Take care,
    Cheers :)

  16. Nice one Ankita.... One reason why it is so important to be extremely careful while your child is growing up. Bad/careless parenting has already given so many tragedies in the recent past.

  25. Nice take on the prompt!
    In physics, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
    In life, every action has an equal (sometimes greater) and opposite reaction, which may come after many years.

  30. Children are so perceptive of things. Adults often wonder why children behave as they do - but children only copy what they see. Nicely done.
