VSS 025 - Silver Jubilee


Silver Jubilee

 

Very Short Story (VSS) 025

 

Silver Jubilee – a celebration of 25

 

With time, patience and longevity, both have gone down. Even the silver jubilee celebrations have come down from years to months to weeks to days.

 

And strangely, while the Silver does become Golden (50), the cases of things NOT going beyond are on a rise. Sad.

 

25 years of married life

25 weeks of a movie running in theatres

25 months of being in the same job

25 days of being engaged

25 hours of going without junk food

25 minutes of being away from social media

 

Living a sliver of fickle life

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The title wrote itself this time around.

It is my 25th VSS and it is a reason for celebration since it is half of my annual goal of 50 stories. 20 days and 3 stories behind schedule but quickly catching up.

Thank you to all friends who have liked and commented on my stories. Thats encourgement for me. Thats what keep this going.

THANK YOU !!

(and with that, let me use THAT as the title of my next story. THANK YOU)

Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
