Going My Way Brother? – An “Auto”-आपबीति

A collection of four separate incidents. These actually happened to a (now) middle-aged guy. Centred around travel - actual or attempted - by mode of auto rickshaws. Brought to mind by an awful pun hinted at, in the title. Some learnings squeezed out from the memory of a few strange men, and a few good men. One both! Experimental mixed use of four separate languages; English, Hindi, Hinglish and Endi. | Do read, comment and discuss. Share but beware! | Word Count: 2637 |

दशावतार: कुछ पंक्तियाँ ऐसे ही

हिंदी भाषा में इस गद्य-शृंखला का पहला लेख प्रस्तुत है। इस लेख में दशावतार पे कुछ कहने की चेष्टा की गयी है। इतिहास नहीं, इति-भाव का प्रयत्न है। संख्या पे टिप्पणी और कथाओं का सार मिलेगा। त्रुटियाँ और लुप्तियाँ अधिक होंगी, क्षमप्रार्थी हूँ! अंत का निवेदन हृदय से है, कृपया स्वीकार करें। चिंतन और वितरण हेतु। शब्द गणना: 1841।

The Handsome Prince

Based on an off-hand discussion, gone out of hand, with the better-half, with a better understanding of the world, the nominal author spun a tale of perspective. Based on the prior knowledge of an Indian Epic Tale of Cousin Warfare, but exploring the parallel worlds of choice. Timed just before the series of events through which reality decided who was "right", based on who won, this episode of literary schizophrenia explores the possibility of each side seeing themselves to be on the side of "right", and still self-aware that posterity may cut them a raw deal.
