\u2018EYES\u2019<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u00a0by S. PADMAPRIYA<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I was on a flight from Chennai to Bhubaneswar.\u00a0 I noticed a co-passenger. He had a pair of fantastically large eyes. His red eyes betrayed the fact that the poor man had not slept for many days or nights.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I kept looking at him throughout the trip\u2019s flight time. I looked at what appeared to be the beginning of the disappearing of some dense foliage on the man\u2019s head. There were also many grey hairs, sticking out here and there. I suddenly felt a lot of pity for the man. I struck up a conversation with him out of an intense curiosity to know my fellow traveller better.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0I went straight to the topic of his large, red and bulging eyes. He responded by saying this.<\/p>\n

\u2018My eyes were small, when I was younger. They became larger and larger with life\u2019s experiences. Life threw incomprehensible googlies at me. Life threw many wide balls at me. I was able to duck a few wild balls, too. Finally, I was out after not many runs of successes.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0My life seemed to take a turn for the better after my marriage. My wife was a most beautiful person \u2013 magnanimous, gorgeous, loyal and very appreciative of even the little things that I thought, spoke or did. Life was blissful. I felt that life had given me everything. Then, my wonderful wife passed away. I found myself becoming helpless, hopeless and lonely like before.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0I haven\u2019t been able to sleep well for years. My eyes are red, bulging and larger than ever before. I have not been able to overcome the trauma of loss. Whenever I come across a happy family, my mind feels as if it might blow up into a thousand smithereens. My eyes became permanently enlarged after they caught a last glimpse of my beloved.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Well, I was so stunned by the story that I had decided to give relief to the pair of tired, large, red and bulging eyes.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 This Diwali, we are completing twenty years of loving companionship!\u00a0<\/p>\n
