Apple and Orange by vino4d - Episode 12 Next day I didn't gave my pets to him. I did not want to abandoned my pet like this. So, i taken care of her. I covered the truth from my parents and caressed the wounded orange. She wasn't eat well, or play well. I seen fear in her eyes. She even didn't believe me. That's hurt like mountain fell on heart. Ha!. I keep her and her tank dry—for speedup the healing process. I feed her more than normal but she behaved alien. Hmm. In between these days, one day i left her alone—unfortunately tank opened and dried. When i returned, my sister said, "Hy orange was not here!" "Please , don't be in a suffer state" my mind repeated as began searching orange. "Or just die.." my brain said before found her under wardrobe. "Was orange there?" My sister asked.

Apple and Orange - Episode 11

Apple and Orange by vino4d - Episode 11 "Hy Orange" I talked to the orange, "Seeing you without apple was hard to me". Orange was doing its routine. I never seen she worried about her housemate. No such behaviour of sadness. It looks normal for me. Maybe orange cried under the water. I can't say the emotions of orange by just seeing her. By the way, days rolling with orange and eat-sleep-wank cycle.  "Look here, turtle." Supervisor friend showing my pet to her Girlfriend via video call. He continued, " he murdered another one which named apple and this is orange." I was thought about something. From last few days its itching me.  "What you are thinking?" Supervisor friend asked me, after he getting bored with video call. "I need a new rent home." He replied the obvious common reply 'why'. "The time was up for turtles here." I continued, "I told to my house owner that there is no turtles here after 2 ...

Apple and Orange - Episode 10

Apple and Orange by vino4d - Episode 10 Some restless nights, I questioned myself "why am I living?" . I also questioned similarly the same Questions—why i was born, why we created, why the earth was like this — at childhood. Children always seek knowledge so when im child I did so, that was the hunger of knowledge. But it was the frustration. Because of not being loved, not being successful, not being needed.  "Why i have to live?" I thought. By following, "Who's care about me?"  "Who will really missing me if I die?" "Who will really cry when Im die" Thought bubbled on my mind. I guessing and took a head count of people who really missing me and heartfully crying at my funeral. Sadly the count was not exceeded my middle finger. As like that, one night… the house was dark without any zero waltz light lamp. My grandma slept on her separate cot at living hall. My parents and sister slept on the floor and i was lying on the bed in the...

Apple and Orange - Episode 9

Apple and Orange by vino4d - Episode 9 Jobs for Computer Engineering freshers I typed the keyword on internet, pressed the zooming mirror icon on phone.  "Always using phone... Then how will you succeed?" Mother yelled, "I don't know what's in that". She served me the rice and left from my room. Viewing internet results, I mixed the rice and sambar by spoon, was folded my leg on ground. Some brown coated creature crawled on my plate. "Hey, Cockroach! Want rice." I spoke to cockroach. It chewing the grains near the plate though its antenna sensing other grains. Boing  Notification, a company welcoming me for interview. For chit-chating with American. A living studied engineering young man, ready to waste the lifetime on chatting with anonymous foreign people, was sounds myopic. But the money was always being the kingmaker.  Cockroach topped on the plate and continued its feast. I put down the smartphone and began my dinner. "That's mine....

Apple and Orange - Episode 8

Apple and Orange by vino4d - Episode 8 I placed green pellet on finger and feeding the turtles.  " Oww " Orange bite my skin with toothless mouth, was felt pinched by small cutting blade. I looked the skin, a V shaped mark was imprinted at tip of  my forefinger. Apple gazed —it was when-you-will-feed-me look— my finger and me. She didn't like regular boring green food pellets and eating not well. But, orange was always opposite. She will eat all even it wasn't eatables. Twenty Three.  As rolling my head and eyes, I glancing the air in the room. Twenty four. I slapped my thigh and hilled the twenty fifth mosquito on palm, and gave the treat to them. They are fighting —like starve dogs seeing meat balls—for the floating mosquitoes, and gulped. No more flies are lingered around. My kids longing for more treat, their limps skipped on the six inch wall of the tank, was stood like human, their wee mouths are gaped, eyes peered, and looked believingly. I scratched the head i...

Apple and Orange - Episode 7

Apple and Orange by vino4d - Episode 7 "Dude, we are ready. When will you back?" God's cub asking grown kid over the phone. We planned to visit beach and I planned to return hometown. I tried comb my long hair—curly frizzy long hair— but it was completely useless, so covered my hair with skeleton print cap as usual. "He is not coming. They are not let him leave" God's kid said to us. "Now, time is 3:30. He went to office at 4am in early morning. But still they're are not leaving!!" I grumbled. "Dude it's just 3:30. Sometimes we work for early morning four o'clock to night 8'oclock" a lean guy said. He also—actually, all roommates— working at the same digital marketing company. "They are neither let us leave nor let us live" God's cub muttered.  Only eight hours work was rule. But who's care. We went beach and washing our legs in sea. After some time, our pants are wet from ground to thigh, scandals and sl...

Apple and Orange - Episode 6

Apple and Orange by vino4d - Episode 6 I was being separated from my pets for nearly a week. All five days I called my mom to asking about the well being of the turtles. There, I wasted my time with my buddies by merely talking about success. And I also like to meet two girls on Chennai in those five days. One was fighter cock, moody girl and my crush. Another one was my first girl FRIEND, my most favourite girl and stubborn queen. First, I scrolling contacts on the smartphone screen and paused at alphabet 'T' Thimuru pudicha ponnu I made a call by tapping the contact. "When I will come to meet you?" I walked front and back on terrace as held the cellphone. "Why you want to meet me." Her voice was calm. "Hey. Last week, you told me that we will meet on chennai if I come there. Now what happened?"  "Hm.. was I said that?" She poorly acting like memory loss patient. "Are you kidding?" I stopped my walk. "No, what we will do.....

Apple and Orange - Episode 5

Apple and Orange by vino4d - Episode 5 Chennai Central I read the name board at railway station, looked next the clock— 4:15. After an hour, I took a local train to my friends living place. I was seated behind window on the train and seeing the buildings outside. "Don't worry.. I will get the job and you two will have a new home." I thought about my pets.  ‘I got job because of my Turtles' luck’  "I will say this to everyone―who are told me the turtles are the bad omen" I talked myself. A only passenger on the compartment stared as is I had selftalkomania.  "Uh-oh" I stopped my self-talk. *** On 7am, I reached my fellows apartment, and half of my classmate boys—exactly seven guys—was there. They also applied for the interview. I joined with my friends and attended the 1st round—written test, its results would announced in  next weeks and came back. Now all the fellows— some of us are not really friends each other— are gathered in one spot. What if ...

Apple and Orange - Episode 4

Apple and Orange by vino4d - Episode 4 Water bubbled at blue flame. I turned off the helium gas stove and studying its heat. A vintage doc thermometer showed 37° celsius. "Too hot?" I speared my finger into the water bowl.  I poured some cold water, sprinkled the salt and stirred the heated water. Testing again the hotness. "Perfect"   Now grabbed both turtles, transferred to the bowl.  "Ma. He is cooking the tortoise" my sister called my mother. "It was a sin, don't kill the turtles"  Mother said, walked towards me. "Ma.. I bath them" They are warming up and fell asleep. I brushed their shell with my sister's toothbrush.  Fungus on the shell was dying during the salt bath. Its spiky nails gashing my epidermis. They didn't like bathing—which baby like bathing?. After all, drying them by towel, making them basking at sun and leave back to the tank. "Cute" I smiled at the sleeping pets. *** "Is turtles leave hom...

Apple and Orange - Episode 3

Apple and Orange by vino4d - Episode 3 God. How do I choose name without knowing sex. I pinned at them. They biting and eating pellets while, several names crossing my mind. Finally, I selected. Apple and Orange. Like traditional naming ritual, I like to whisper the names three times to their ears, but turtles not had ears like other pets and us. So, I assumed the red mark on side head was the ear and whispered. A bigger one was Apple. Another one was Orange. "Wow, is this tortoise?" A neighborhood kid questioned me, was looked the turtles closely, "where you are get this?". "From aquarium—pet store" I said. "They also sell this!" the neighborhood kid immersed in amazement. Then, he ran out and coming back with packs and gangs of kids, they rounded up the turtles and goggling them. On that minute, I'm not sure I'm was in my room or in any national zoo. They watching my turtles pedaling into the water and snatching its food, in wonder.  ...

Apple and Orange - Episode 2

Apple and Orange by vino4d - Episode 2 Next day, I'm went earlier to studio at 9:00 am, it not earlier actually, he was late—this is one of the advantage of freelancing. So I was just watching around the studio about an hour. While doing that, I found a couple of tiny green turtles in tiny bowl. It was so adorable. I like to touch them, so my fingers stretching towards the bowl, otherside my brain saying things like— "Your touch may hurt them" "Don't stab their eyes." "They are too small" "Don't distrub their sleep" "You really need to touch them?" So, I gently touched one' green shell, and embraced. It felt rough. Both are sleeping like a baby. I loved it. The next minute, I decided to buy this creature as pet for myself.  My photographer Friend arrived with some people—photoshoot director, model, model's friend—and carrying some big baggages—light, camera, stand. He shoot picture of products—shirts—with model. I he...

Mostly all are earning money, as form of paper, as form of digital number count on the bank accounts. All are earning, except few like me. Money.  "what is your view on money" interviewer asked me. In rapid, someone asking you this, what will be yours reply. I know its hypothetical one. So, I thought about it for few seconds—not more than seven sec. My friends told me the interviewer asked general questions generally. So, I already known there was no more techie picky questions for me, even though I didn't prepared for the interview properly. The interviewer was pinned his eyes on me. If that eyes had ownership of pretty woman, I took more than seven seconds to answer. I told my view. I don't know it was satisfied to him or not. But I gave my obvious answer. Now you may ask me, what did you told?. Before saying that, I like to tell yo...
