    LOVE TRIOLOGY, WHO TO COMPLAIN
    (Little write up on 2nd Book)

    I am used to change of residences due to my father getting transferred from one city to another but I am not used to change of men. You better understand this Ajit, Sudhas voice was firm and defiant.

    That inevitable was just around the corner. Doctor said that Shruti has only a few hours to live. If your daughter wants to see her, she needs to come as quickly as possible.

      DEDICATION

      Dedicated to my Parents, who made me to read and write, while they were just the farmers.

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

      I acknowledge and express my gratitude to my wife SUSHMA, for the input, spell check and all the inspiration and ideas, I conceived watching the degree of her patience.

      My elder daughter PREETI deserves special mention for the emotional and financial support in bringing out the publication of this book.

      I would like PAYAL, my younger daughter to be a partner in my this endeavour. Frankly speaking I have copied some of her blogs to make my book rich and true.

      I would also express my special thanks to Mr.Rajesh Chaurasia, my colleague, for typing the entire manuscript.

      Finally I thank all my friend on Facebook, my college mates, for encouraging me to write this book. My heartfelt thanks will not be complete unless I mentioned the big help I got from "Bhagvad Gita’ and ‘Google’, the boss for anything.

      You all are part of my these efforts BIG or SMALL.

      The contents of this story is purely based on the imaginations of the author and it is no way connected with any individual, place or incidence. However any resemblance is coincidental.

      The author does not take any responsibility for any damage or loss except he expresses regrets if any.

      INTRODUCTION

      We hear that love happens only once in your life time. How far this is correct, nobody knows but we still believe so as everyone says in our epics films.

      My point of view in this book is not the same as in case of Ajit, the character in my this book, this has happened genuinely for the second time.

      You would now say that this isn’t love, it is either infatuation or extra marital affair. Extra marital affair for Ajit can neither be accepted nor justified as his intensity of loving Sudha is unmatched. It is divine, unconditional, selfless and with no hope of return.

      He says I am afraid of being rejected yes, I am also afraid of being accepted for wrong reasons.

      He also says please if one of us cries let both of us cry but preferably neither of us.

      He also concludes and says I don’t care how hard being together is but nothing worse than being apart is.

      CHAPTER 1

      STORY BEGINS………….

      After completing a successful and satisfying career of 25 years in INDIAN ARMY and obtaining so many gallantry awards , Ajit hung his boots to explore green grass on the other side. He was 55years then.He was popularly known as Col. Ajit Singh.

      After retirement from a very hectic life in desert , snow clad mountains, he set out to a mountain with his wife for a pleasure trip.He headed for Kullu , Manali in Himachal Pradesh. The place was nice. The lake in the mountains which according to mythology is one of the emerald eyes of Shiva’s wife. A hike or horse back ride to the top of peak, the highest point, provides stunning view of the snowcapped, Himalayas.

      After spending two weeks, with lot of ideas for his future plans Ajit came back to DELHI without even slightest idea as what is stored for him in times to come. Most of the time Ajit was on a wild google search as what could be his time schedule so as he does not find his retirement a serious threat of boredom and a catalyst for decay. He remembers that he used to tell everybody that he would like to die on a work-station rather than in home or hospitals. He devised too many options like (1) Get a new assignment (2) Volunteer for some NGOs (3) Pursue some sports like Golf or Tennis (4) Develop a hobby like writing or singing (5) Start a new business (6) Travel and explore India & Foreign land (7) make new friends (8) Be part of your family and grand children

      Easiest Ajit felt was to try some NGOs, where he could sincerely contribute something. He went to some hospital and met administrative officer who directed him to a ward to look after terminally ill patients suffering from serious and chronical ailments like cancer etc., and the doctors were sure of their death now or a little later.

      Ajit though tried his best to serve such patients but he could not mentally prepare himself to look after them due to pathetic conditions of them. He was not able to justify his roll and purpose, he had gone there so he declined and started exploring other NGO options. He found old age home under helpage India prospectus. He met too many old people from 60 to 95 years and came to know the plight of some of them who were just kept there by their children to shed the basis responsibility of being their sons and daughters and there were few who did not want anything from you except you only give them your time as they do not have people to talk to them. You only have to visit them talk to them on any topic and be part of their conversations. There were some old ladies wanting some medical assistance and companionship. At times you feel that somebody can leave their mother on somebody’s mercy. Shame on the sons and daughters who have done this. Ajit was happy to confirm that number of parents was less for daughters as compared to sons. Ajit sometimes used to listen to the comments from his wife that you go to old age home to help those elderly ladies but do you know that you are also one of them, hope some old female just keeps you there as her soulmate and you do not return. Ajit jokingly would tell her that if this happens, I will get her also home and you both can stay as two sisters or may be like Hema & Prakash assuming him to be Dharmendra. Anyway he was regular twice a week and did his best possible and all the people over there were happy with whatever little contribution he could make.

      Ajit
