Every once in a while


Parameshwaranpillai, an oldster took rest in his arm-chair every once in a while. After his demise a raven majestically occupied that seat. Correlating that with her soul-mate’s demise, Vilasini a simpleton, sturdily believed that it was her beloved husband’s soul. After his last adieu, he was lingering around the dearly-loved ones. So the crow enjoyed a royal sumptuous food there. One day the visitor was missing. She rummaged around  in search, alas! She found him hung on the electric line motionless. She cried soulfully as she did it for her husband.

“Now father  has reached heaven. Don't worry", Son

    1. Thank you,Anil. But the son's pathos I could empress only like that because of the 100-word restriction.And he is the son of an oldste,not a child.
