Perks of being a single child-A short story

It was a Tuesday evening. Roshan was heading back to his home from tution. He was
hesitant to go home.He made his small steps back home with much reluctance.
He got his mid-term marks from school.His marks were low.He was not afraid for
getting scolding for his low marks.It was something else.The situation was not
the same a year back. Roshan was a bright student in his class.In fact,he used
to top the class in some subjects.But,everything changed topsy-turvy after some
incidents that happened back last year.

One year ago....

Roshan lived with his family in the small town of Telangana. His father worked in
News channel as a reporter.His mother was a home maker.Their wealth was less,
but happiness was more.His father is a tough man with a rugged voice.Only his
voice is rugged not his heart.He used to take utmost care of his family.
His mother was a calm and composed woman.Her only happiness is making rotis
and chai for her husband and pampering her son.She used to serve roshan with
different kinds of snacks when he returned from school.As we
saw earlier,Roshan used to study very well at that time.It was election time.
His father was reporting the campaign news of various parties.He was a very
reputed reporter of the city.Knowing this in some way,a political party approached
him for promoting his political party without the consent of the channel.They
bribed him with some lump amount. Roshan's father,hesitated at the beginning,later considering his family situation,he accepted the offer.His mother and roshan advised him a lot not to accept their offer.But he didn't listen to them.
He campaigned all over the city favouring that party.The elections got over
and the party favoured by his father won the elections with a remarkable difference
in number of votes.Unfortunately,the news channel came to know about this and they
fired him as the thing his father did was against their norms.
This created much chaos in their family.The channel which praised him as the best reporter,started cursing him.This made them flee from their city.
His parents started to fight daily.As his father was the only bread-maker of their family,their family suffered a lot.His mother started going for work to make out for their family.This created a inferiority
complex in his father and the fight between them started to grow.This disturbed Roshan a lot.He started feeling lonely,as his mother failed to take care of him amidst these chaos.

Months Passed.

Today....
After much thinking,Roshan took the big decision of his life.

To be continued....

What decision did Roshan Take?
How will it affect their family?
Will his decision help their family get back to normal or it will worsen it?
What do you infer from this story?

See you soon,next week:)
Until then,keep guessing in the comments section.
Cheers,
Baru:)

Your Mental Health is Important

There is a saying that 'You are your first friend and enemy all through your life. There is so much life in that words. In every person, no matter how good he  is, has  a little demon residing in him which directs him towards evil thoughts.       Yeah!! It's tough time now. We are living a life far from the normal. Man is a social  animal. We  always like to get surrounded by people. We are used to it. But now, we are meant to be  alone. We  have to distance ourselves from others. But that doesn't mean that you should ignore everyone and live in isolation.   STAY DISTANCED BY PERSON BUT CONNECTED BY HEART.       In this quarantine life, we are all buried into our mobile phones/other gadgets. You may feel that it's the only way to connect to people now. But, it's equally important to take care of yourselves.  Self-care  is the need of the hour. Take time to embrace yourself. Your one word of appreciation to your mom/dad/any person for their work, puts a smile on thei

Who is my dearest??🤔

For the first person, It's his family. The second person said, 'It's her love' For the third person, It's his friends. And for the fourth, It's her pet. But if you ask me the question Who is my dearest? It's my phone:) If your family showered you with unconditional love and support, My phone is my family. If your mom lashes at you for hanging out with your friends, My phone is my best friend. As I got the greatest scoldings from my mom for hanging out with her. If your teacher helps you gain knowledge, She is my teacher. It's because of her I passed my exams. She was always there for me. She never let me feel alone. Some people feel depressed when they are far from their love. But I feel depressed when my phone is charging. When she comes back to me with full battery, I am the happiest person in the world. The day I brought her from the shop was the day she was born. Right from that day,I look after her with utmost care. I beautified her by p

CORONA(One word,One million emotions )

Humans Now: You are so cruel! You are killing us. Mother Earth: You got me a break from humans. You helped me to rejuvenate. Animals and Other creatures: We are helpless! You made us starve to death. Humans Later: You helped us to spend more time with our family. You helped us explore our inner talents. Corona to others: Survival of the fittest bro! So, even the Corona taught us that it depends on your perspective on how you witness the situation.If you are going to see its negative side and weep, you're gonna weep forever. Instead you take it in a positive way and utilize this time to nurture yourselves, the life after this quarantine gonna hit you different.  A big salute to all the doctors and health care workers.
