Neem Baba

Neem Baba

---------------------------------

Neem Baba is a short story which I started somewhere around last week of January this year and left it half way and moved onto other subjects. I had somehow completely forgotten all about it till I found it lying in some odd nested folder on my computer.

I took it up today and somehow the ideas just flowed in. It is a simple short story and an easy read with simple subject much like my other works. The character sketches are pretty straight forward and the narration is the way I like it, in first person.

I consider this as a better piece of my writings for this story is largely a figment of my vivid imagination and is mostly fictious and draws little or almost nothing from life or personal experiences.

Read it for simple metaphors and sublime emotions. I have deliberately not dwelled too much on the invisible emotional bond created between the child and the 'Neem Baba' for I really feel that this is the way most of the things work in normal course of life.
