Leave behind the long, continue in
shorts…oops…short, I mean!
Having gained a semblance of confidence
in writing in the short(er) format I moved on into fiction writing.
The title chosen by me was “Till
Death Do Us Unite”. The phrase “Till
Death Do Us Part” had always intrigued me. It is a vow, which a
Christian couple takes at the time of wedding. It means that nothing other than
one partner’s dying can end the marriage or separate them.
While the vow is for living married
couple, my story has a twist, which is not revealed till the very end. It was
all rather complicated in the beginning and I did not decide upon the title
initially. Finally, what I wanted to convey through my story – i.e. the husband
and wife are united by death – gave me the title!
To end my verbal diarrhea on a
philosophical note, it is widely believed that, in every human, there is a soul
(atma) that is imperishable and
eternal. After a human dies, the soul dons another form and is reborn. Until
such time, it lingers. So must be the case with the husband and wife of my
story, right?

the mystery of love-after death!

The next one was “Mission
Accomplished (Over and Out).”
Well that is fodder for thought in my
next post.
Auf wiedersehen.
