He opened the library book and found a photo in it. Koshi smiled with a light sigh as he realised how the photograph spoke to his present situation.

The letter that had greeted him that morning read thus –

“The management deeply regrets having to inform you that your services stand terminated with effect from the first day of the next month. You will be adequately compensated as per the conditions of service.”

It left him speechless. He felt his hands and feet go numb. As a lump formed in his throat, he mustered enough strength to walk out of the office building into the library across the road.

He didn’t intend to read anything that day. He couldn’t.

With thoughts ricocheting within his head, he grabbed a book from the topmost shelf and opened it to find a fascinating photograph of a rainbow in a cloudless sky.

It spelled HOPE!

 

 

ONLINE SHOPPING GONE WRONG?

PROMPT: Standing in front of the mirror she didn’t like what she saw…

Standing in front of the mirror she didn’t like what she saw. The fitting of the dress she ordered online wasn’t the way she expected.

But she wore the same dress without looking for a change as she was running late for her friend’s party. In a haste she left , not very happy with the way she looked.

To her surprise, she was attracting people more than ever and compliments poured from everywhere. “How are you losing weight, please share the tips with us” enquired everyone and she was left blushing and smiling ear to ear remembering how she found the dress to be ill fit.

Later, when she got back home she just smiled to herself thinking, sometimes it’s about changing the perspective to find the happiness lurking around the corner.
