P O W E R


It was the time when the pandavas were in the final years of thier 12 year exile,they paid the price for one man's inclination towards a non perceptive result yielding event...gambling.The one is man is the eldest brother of the pandavas known as dharmaraj.The pandavas are five brothers,each one having a charm of thier own.They came to a village  along 
with accompained ny thier mother,kunti.A demon used to live in the hills north to the village,it used to raid the village and kill everyone it saw untiul the villagers made a pact with demon.According to the pact they will send the youngest member from each family every month as its prey.One day kunti found her neighbour weeping along with his wife,they both are holding 
each other..the husband was holding his tears and trying to console his wife.They quickly wiped thier tears when they saw thier son leaving the house to play.Kunti went to the couple and came to understand from thier eyes that thier rueful day has come,but they made no sins for such a big punishment,kunti knew everything..she was a queen,mother of the blessed five who are born to change the destiny.
Kunti said to his neighbour that his son bheema will go instead of his son.Bheema was the most inviolable man everborn,he had a clossal body which now laid wrapped tightly inorder to control its strength with robes.The pandavas were deprived of thier kingdom because of the gamble played by dharmaraj,acording to the pact the pandavas must stay away from thoer kingdom for 12 years and shouldnt reveal thier identity.
The day came and kunti sent bheema to the demon,she has no signs of worry in her face as she knew what was going to happen,she found her son's strength paining his self,the strength which he kept concealed in him.Bheema started his way to the north hills,removing each robe which painfully tied his muscles tight so that he looked thin and they cant find his true identity.His muscles started getting free,he reached the 
mouth of the cave where the demon stayed.He shouted at top of his voice like a lion which was challanged of its might,like a king one sword stroke away from a epic victory.He awoke the demon with his loud cry,it came out roaring.It had the horns of a bull,awaiting to pierce its prey,its dark body behind the green hills looked like a ambushing black panther in the wild,its eyes are that of an adamant tiger crossing wilderness,
unkowing its limits.Before it stod bheema,the man capable of taming any animal.Its been since years he was challanged for a fight.He jumped on the beast and thrust his fist into the torso of the demon,the demon felt something which it nevr felt before,pain..and consequently fear...the demon never tasted fear before.Bheema broke his neck and crushed its head into the floor with his foot and let out a cry with increasing intensity...
a cry his body craved for to eject the pain he had held within for concealing his colossal strength...a cry loud enough to inject fear into those who thought to propogate evil.....

Past night chronicles


He wokeup that morning,doing his morning ritual of stretching his hands followed by a loud '' yawn!!''.He looked at the cloxk,its 9 AM.Normally at this time of the day he will be driving his way to work in his week old new BMW which came along with his promotion.Today he is happy,afterall its sunday,he has nothing to do but to spend a whole day for himself.He crawled to the edge of the bed and grabbed the remote of his music system,he kept the sound low and tried to get some sleep.He heard someone knocking the door,he dragged himself to the door and opened it.Its his neighbour Simon,he handed him a close packet.''Someone gave me this saying that they cant find you at your place'' simon said and added ''Arent you home at 10 yesterday night''.I nodded my head in agreement and said '' yes''.Simon said bye with a smile across his face and went away.I closed the door and wondered what that package contained.My eyes were diverted to the blinking display of my phone,it had some voice messages.It showed that they were left at 9 yesterday night.I thought who will phone my home,its long time since i've got calls to my home phone.I clicked the button which plays the recorded message..the message read..'' Come to the cross,i'll be waiting''.Its jennifer's voice,it is not clear and its hard to decipher what she intended to say with the distrubance in the backdrop of her voice.I wondered where she wouldve been when she called me.I went on to read the other message,it came around 9:30,its jennifer again..she said ''bye''..she said it with such a haste that..it is over under a second...the message seemed incomplete...it seemed as if she wanted to say something else but stopped.I thought why didnt she call my mobile.I searched for my mobile,it s nowhere to be found,may be i forgot it in my office.Maybe thats the reason why she called my home.He sat on his bed and op-ened that cover,he found his cellphone inside the packet.He turned the packet backwards to get a clue of the sender,but the packet was plain.He went into the missed calls,10 calls from jennifer from 8:30-8:45.He recalled what he did...he left work at 8 and went for a drink with eric,they do it every weekend after work.While he was lost in his thoughts,erics call came...'' Where are you man..have you heard the news..jennifer was killed..they found her body at the park junction''.I fell silent.No words are coming to my mouth..eric's repeating '' are you there?''..i asked in a low stuttering voice '' When?''... '' 9'0 clock yesterday night she found her body ''.I was out of my mind..I got calls from jennifer around 9...how can she die...who sent me the cellphone....why did he wrap it in a packet instead of giving directly...did i lost my cellphone..or ..someone stole it....my name is Alexander Vivian...this is what happend yesterday night................
