English Literature – Stories – ☆ Kosi Sutluj Express ☆ Dr. Amitabh Shanker Roy Choudhury

By Hemant BawankarNo Comments
Dr. Amitabh Shanker Roy Choudhury ☆ Story - Kosi Sutluj Express ☆ Dr. Amitabh Shanker Roy Choudhury ☆ One lakh twenty-five thousand cusecs of water! Who knows how much it is! This much is flowing through the river Kosi every day during this flood! Otherwise, every year barely five lakhs would flow in the month of September. Or say, nine lakh cusecs in the month of Kuhar or October. Just some days ago, it was a harmless snake which, a couple of days back, has turned into a giant, ferocious and all engulfing anaconda.

By Hemant BawankarNo Comments
Shri Suraj Kumar Singh ☆ A Strange Reunion ☆    Mounted on a saddled black horse, the bludgeoned knight came to his old friend. The old friend that was the sea celebrated the knight's homecoming. The expression of its joy in the form of tumultuous waves was enchanting. "Oh dear knight, my good old friend you were born here, you grew here and you left only to come back! What pursuit you endeavoured that you took  a sabbatical from a playful innocent dream you saw with me?  The knight replied, "The pursuit of truth my friend!
