The Tea Seller's Son (A touching story)

The Tea Seller's Son by K Hari Kumar (An Excerpt from WHEN STRANGERS MEET.. ) On a very hazily lit noon, when one could see enough to distinguish darkness from light, the little boy turned his head first to his left and then to the other side. Then he checked straight, as if in a single stride he would measure the entire length that he was meaning to cross to get to the other side of the road. His destination was a dusty container office across the road that took care of the construction site booming in that part of the village. His father had told him ‘Arshad, when you grow up this place will make you rich and we will open a bigger tea stall outside the mall so that more people can drink our tea.’ ‘What is a mall, Abbu?’ he had asked innocently. ‘It is a big shop that has everything in the world.

Retrospect

'My humps... my humps... my humps... my lovely lady lumps ' the girl form the reality show sings and off goes the television (as long as the remote control is in the hands of my pseudo-orthodox daddy dear). 'What has happened to songs nowadays? Gone is that time when songs used to be meaningful and music melodious. Now it's just shouting, swearing and skin show.' My dad would start and go on...

I would rather like to call that Gaga girl Lady Bowbow (no offence). Right now I am going share some of the best songs from that era, I wasn't even born then, yet I feel nostalgic

Signed contract for second book

K Hari Kumar's second book, a thriller "Writing books is the closest men ever come to childbearing", I remember Jayantakumar Sir quoting Norman Mailer's definitive statement in 2012 as I signed on the contract for ' When Strangers meet..'. Almost a year and half later, I sign on the contract for my second novel, 'TFV', which is due for a winter 2014 release, that is, exactly nine months from now will see the birth of my second child... sister to 'When Strangers meet..' I thank my everyone at Srishti, my parents & well wishers, and above all my readers, without whom WSM would not have survived the tyrants of the time. For the time being, all I am giving you is an abbreviation for the title- #TFV  Cordially, The Stranger
