 Previous Episode: What will he do with his Superpowers?
Rakshit got out of his house
Rakshit got out of his house and was walking on a typical Delhi road, then suddenly a car comes with its full speed full of drunk boys and hit Rakshit very hard. He (Rakshit) fell 200 meters away from the place where he got hit. Rakshit woke up very comfortably from the ground, removed away the dust on his clothes using his hands while doing the same he noticed the dark blue particles are going back inside his hands after coming out for a little bit. Then his mobile phone rings. He picks up the call, after a few seconds, he says, “haanji, Shyam bol raha hoon. (Yes, I am Shyam speaking)”

After the accident, two people came to help Shyam (Rakshit)

One of the Two Guys: Are you alright? I think we should take you to the hospital.

Shyam: No no, I am fine, the car did not hurt that much.

The Other Guy: What are you saying? Are you sure? We just saw how that car hit you with almost 200 km/h. I don’t think you are fine.

Shyam: Thanks for asking but there is no need for that. Thanks for asking. it might have seemed like the car hitting me very hard but thank God it did not hit me that hard.

The 2nd Guy: Okay, but I saw how it hit………….

The first guy interrupted the 2nd guy,

The First Guy: Yeah. I think God really helped you today. Take care and be careful on roads.

Shyam: Thanks, I will surely do the same.

The two guys leave the scene.

Shyam (to himself, in his mind): How could I have told them about the thing which I don’t know myself. They would not have believed that these particles inside me protect from anything which I think can harm me.

Shyam continued walking on his way
Shyam continued walking on his way. After some distance, there was a shop which had a board above its closed shutter ‘Shyam’s Tailoring’ written on it. He opened the shutter of the shop, started his works like stitching and sewing using the sewing machine present there.

One day, he was wandering near some shops for buying stuff for home mainly food items like biscuits, vegetables, anything whose price is not very high, etc. While doing the same, he heard sounds of bikes and bullets (which are used in weapons). After hearing those sounds, something struck his mind.

Shyam (talking to himself, in his mind): Where and when I had heard those sounds?

He couldn’t recall where he had heard those sounds but he noticed that the present fight was a face-off between the local Police and the local goons. Very soon the fight got very intense. During the fight, Shyam noticed that one goon fired a bullet on a lady standing beside him, then, he showed his back to the bullet before it could hit the lady, then one particle came out of Shyam’s back which scattered the bullet very hard. After Shyam saved the lady, she pushed Shyam to one side, took her gun out and shot the legs of the three goons very fast and made them arrested. She was very athletic, super-fit and fast.

After the Shootout

Police Officer: Great job mam. They are in safe hands now. You were a great help as always.

The Lady: Thanks. It was also great working with you as always, but someone got shot here, he needs some help.

Shyam: No need for that mam. I am fine.

The Lady (to the Police Officer): I am sorry. My bad. He is fine. I think I miscalculated something in the rush.

Police Officer: Okay mam, we are leaving as we have so much to chat with these people.

The Lady: Yeah. Right.

The Police left. Shyam was also leaving but the lady asked him to stop.

The Lady (to Shyam): hey, hello, stay there,  …..please, stay there.

Shyam stayed there.

Shyam: What happened mam?

The Lady: I have some questions for you.

Shyam: Okay, but, please ask them quickly as I have plenty of works to do today.

The Lady: Okay. There will be quick ones only. So, question number one, where did the bullet hit you? Question number two, how the hell are you not bleeding?

Shyam: No-no-no. I think you have misunderstood the situation. I thought the bullet is going to hit you, so, I moved towards you to shield you but thankfully the bullet hit somewhere else.

The Lady: So, you don’t want to tell me the truth. Okay.

The lady took out her gun and pointed it at Shyam. The gun shocked Shyam for a moment but he quickly recalled that the gun can’t harm him as he has his protectors inside his body in the form of those particles.

The Lady: Now, tell me who really you are? What’s your motive? Are you even a human? For whom do you work?

Shyam: I have told you the truth. I am a common man. I do tailoring for my living.

The Lady: Oh come on. Stop that crap now. I am a fully trained and very experienced detective & you might have seen what I did with the goons. Don’t try to fool me. I know where the bullet was directed to and it has hit you, but, its sound was not like a bullet hitting the human flesh.

Shyam: Okay. I will tell you but I don’t think you are going to believe it and please put down the gun as neither it’s going to make the conversation better nor it’s going to harm me in any way.

The lady put down the gun.

Shyam: Okay. Here I go. When something harmful comes near me then some particles inside my body come out a little bit and save me from the thing by pushing it hard very quickly in another direction, but I don’t know how these particles got inside me and I am very curious about how they got into me.

The Lady (angrily): What? Rubbish. I don’t think even a word form your mouth is true.

Shyam: I knew that you won’t believe me. I f you don’t believe me then test me by firing some bullets at me.

The Lady: I will fire at you something but not bullets.

The lady signaled Shyam to turn around. She threw a few stones at his back in a way such that it would make him hurt but not that much. When the stones got near his body, the particles came out of his body partially and pushed back the stones very fast to the lady she somehow protected herself from the stones.

The Lady: Oh my God. You were right.

The lady went near Shyam and touched his body to check the parts where the stones were going to hit and from where the particles came out partially.

The Lady: Are you like this since you were born?

Shyam: That I can’t say. I don’t have the memory of the same. Actually, I don’t remember anything before the past 8 months.

The Lady: What? What do you mean by that?

Shyam: People in my ‘chawl’ say that our Government had found me homeless and senseless on the footpath. The Government made arrangements for me and other homeless guys like me to live in the ‘Chawl’ where I live now and many other ‘chawls’. I did not know my name then, there is one lady there whom everyone calls  ‘Naani maa’ (Grandmother)  there named me as ‘Shyam’.

The Lady: Okay. I am Sanjana Tripathy, the senior detective of my agency which helps the Police in solving some crimes. We also work independently and I really think that we can help you, make you help others and most importantly, we can find the answers you are seeking for so long. Will you like to join hands with us.

Sanjana made her right hand forward for a handshake with Shyam. Shyam shook hands with Sanjana and agreed to join her.

Sanjana took Shyam to the office of her agency
Sanjana took Shyam to the office of her agency. The office from its outside looked like a 90’s Government office but when Sanjana swiped his Identity Card in the passcode device of the office, the scene was different. It was full of technological stuff. The place had cool gadgets and unbelievable weapons. The people in the office looked very smart.

One Girl in the office (to another girl after they saw Shyam): Who’s that handsome guy?

In the office, Sanjana took Shyam to a person named Rahul and told him the situation of Shyam. After hearing about Shyam, Rahul did some tests on Shyam.

Rahul: I think the particles inside your body can be controlled by a regulatory suit. The suit will regulate the power of those particles. The suit will make you project the particles to any direction you want at your will, and after getting projected they will get back into your body like a boomerang. But, to make the suit, I will need the help of Dr. Ahuja.

Shyam: It seems interesting. I am fine with it.

Sanjana: Okay. Go ahead.

Rahul went to discuss Shyam’s situation with Dr. Ahuja.

Sanjana: We will train you, take care of your living, earning and help you on those particles as I think you will be a great asset for solving many problems in many societies of our country and other countries. So, what do you think about it? I don’t think you are going to say no.

Shyam:  If I think about the things which I am doing right now in my life, then, working here would be better for and I also have an intuition that I am going to know about my past here.

Meanwhile, Dr. Ahuja was checking some notes which contained many mathematical, physical and chemical calculations, and in one of the pages, there was the sketch of the ‘Shining Matter’ which is the source of the particles inside the body of Shyam/Rakshit.

Rahul knocked at the door of Dr. Ahuja’s room.

Rahul: May I come in sir?

After hearing Rahul’s voice, Dr. Ahuja put his notes in a bag.

Dr. Ahuja: Yeah. Come in, Rahul.

Rahul told him about Shyam and his idea of the regulatory suit. An image of the ‘Shining Matter’ flashed on his eyes after hearing what Rahul said.

Tests or t20s in Your Life

Image
In test cricket, a batsman’s most prior motive is to stay at the crease as much as he can, score as many runs as possible during his stay. As we all know that it is not mandatory for a test batsman to score runs in a particular number of overs. So, it becomes very important in test cricket to wait for the playable deliveries from the bowler for scoring runs and defending or leaving the unplayable deliveries. If any batsman goes for the unplayable delivery for scoring, then he has a great chance of being dismissed and troubling his team. Can life be looked upon as test cricket? I always feel that our life is also like test cricket where we are like the batsmen in the game. We face many opportunities, challenges, and problems in our life. The opportunities, challenges, and problems act like balls bowled to us in our lives. In my opinion, we should try to score fours and sixes on opportunities, that is, making most of them, take runs between the wickets on the challenges or you

Positive or Negative Vibes Having Influence on People

Image
There was a match of a tournament going on somewhere. It was an Inter School Cricket tournament. The batsman batting at that time was being easy on the bowlers. He was playing grounded and defensive shots as he was taking his time adjusting himself well for playing big shots later. That time, one of the teachers of some school said to another teacher, “Why is he in the team? He has not even hit a sixer till now from the morning. He is doing nothing but boring everyone.” In reply to this, the other teacher said, “why do you think so? Be positive. He is just taking his time. He is getting ready for a bigger inning. They are young children. Let’s motivate them. Winning is not everything, the improvement and development of the students are more important . So, just keep calm and relax.” Observation of the Scenario In this scenario, we can observe two kinds of people and they are the two mentioned teachers. The first teacher seemed both demotivating and impatient but the oth

With Great responsibility come Greater Distractions

Image
If you are a spider-man movie fan, then you must have heard this dialogue, “with great power, comes great responsibility”. I just want to add something to this dialogue, “With great responsibility, come greater distractions”. Yes, you heard right, distraction is a thing, which no one would not have faced. Distractions While Exams(especially during board exams) Now, it is the time of board exams, who would be better than the students to ask about the distractions at this time. Most of the students read the textbook with the distraction of reading the text messages on the phone. What is the reason for this distraction? It’s because today’s students are habituated with chatting through phones. Is it really a distraction for the students. I think students don’t take this as a distraction but their parents do. At first, I said, “with great responsibility, come greater distractions”. In this case, parents see the board exams as a responsibility, and the other things studen

Reactions You get On Your New Thoughts

Image
What reactions do you get when you have new thoughts in your mind and express it to anyone? According to me, we get the following reactions when we express our new thoughts to anyone: ·           You get laughed off by the person. ·          You get scolded or abused by the person. ·          You get the reaction, “yeah, it’s interesting but……..” ·          You get the reaction, “Great, go for it. It’s worth a try.” Let’s start with “ Why you get laughed off? ” As you know or must have seen that there are different kinds of people. From these different types of people, there is one kind of people, there is one kind of people who almost take everything in a funny way. Like everything, the characteristics of these types of people have a good and bad side. What is the thing which makes a person laugh? Usually, when a person sees anything which is unexpected and the thing goes in a happy (funny) way and the other person doing the thing has a weird expression on his/her f

Good Times Attract Many

Image
You might have gone to many celebratory events, there, you might have observed lots of colorful lights and other beautiful decorative stuff. The beautiful, colorful and other shining stuff always attract our eyes and these stuff make the events or parties amazing. In this great world of ours, we get easily attracted towards anything which looks beautiful to us, but that’s not the case always when there is not much beauty in something. A person in his/her good times, attracts many people towards himself/herself but in the bad times, he/she is not given the same importance as in his/her good times. In our bad times, we can improve ourselves  to ourselves as much we can and be valuable to ourselves and others by our dedication and hard work. Our dedication and hard-work will do the same for us as the beautiful lights and flowers do to different parties or events to make them more beautiful and attractive. You would understand totally what I want to say after hearin

Everyone is Different from the others for a Reason

Image
In my childhood, after seeing my sad face, my mother used to say, “God has given equal abilities to everyone, we should never feel lesser than anyone.” Then, I used to believe that and smile back to my mother. But now, I think that the Almighty has made all of us different from others so that we can make our own identity different from others and the difference comes from lots of stuff. So that we don’t look like a copy or replica of others. Usually, we don’t get this and try to do blindly what others are doing without knowing ourselves properly. Everybody begins his/her life in different surroundings.   A person gets his/her qualities from the surroundings where he/she spends his her time. An Example of how Rohan and his life can be different from others Let’s have a look at this scenario. There is a boy named Rohan. Both of his parents are working. Everybody knows the amount of responsibilities parents   have on their shoulders as both of their parents work. In that

The Boy shared his Feelings with The Girl

Image
In a college somewhere, there was a boy who fell in love with a girl. After many days of only looking at the beautiful face of the girl, one day, the boy decided to share all of his feelings with the girl. After knowing about the feelings of the boy towards her, the girl said, “Sorry, you are nice but I am not interested in anything like that now.” The Reaction of His Friend After hearing this from the girl, he went to his friend to share this with him. The friend replied, “are you crazy? You shouldn’t ask anyone in the first go. First, you start talking to each other, then, you be her friend and after that, you share your feelings with her.” The boy said, “But, I didn’t have that much patience. I was going through sleepless nights for this.” The friend replied, “Yeah, you are really crazy, but now, you have to move on because it seems that she is not interested in you.” Boy:   No, I think there is something which is stopping her from expressing her feelings.

Do You Have a Healthy Environment?

Image
Day by day, the pace of our lives is increasing. There are lots of work to do in less time. And, in this scenario, we try to skip things or the things get skipped by mistake. Everything has its effect on something whether it’s good or bad. For example, you have woken up late in the morning. After brushing your teeth in a hurry, now, you rush towards your food, finish your food or half-finish it, so that you can reach your office, school or college as quick as possible. In the process, you leave your dirty plate on the table and it affects the environment in your room in a bad way. The cockroaches and creatures like that look out for the stuff you have left on the table (your dirty food plate). You may not even know that why you have fallen sick and wonder “How can I fall ill for no reason?”, but, as I have already said that everything has its effect on something, so that dirty thing on your table may be the reason for your falling ill. To get rid of falling ill from your dirty pl

The Story of Rajesh's Crush

Image
Rajesh hails from a middle-class family. A few years ago, he was studying in a very popular private engineering college of our country. Now, Rajesh is going to narrate his story about how he had a crush in the college, how she became her girlfriend and what happened with their lives later. So, let’s hear what Rajesh wants to say. When I first entered the College……….. When I first entered the college I was feeling a little low. It was not that nobody liked to interact with me or teased me for something, in fact, I had made a few friends that day (First day of my college). Here is the reason why I was feeling low that day. That day, almost all the freshers whom I had noticed had some friends in the college whom they knew before (friends from childhood, previous school, college, etc), but that was not the case with me. As the days passed, I moved on from that low feeling and got synchronized with the college-life. Talking about crush If someone is talking about his s

Half a Glass of Water for Saving Water

Image
Avoiding Wastage in Parties When I used to live in my colony, I and my friends used to have dinner together on special occasions. We used to serve together, dine together and have fun together. While doing so, we always had in mind that anyone doesn’t have any food or drinks more than one of us usually consumes or as the quantity decided before the party. I think everyone might be doing the same thing as we do while having a party or function with your closed ones. If this is the way we think about parties then why not do so while drinking water in our daily lives. Why not take the amount of water in the container as much you have to drink. So that everyone gets the equal amount of water and the water doesn’t get wasted. Livpure's Initiative To support this thing, Livpure has started an initiative called ‘CuttingPaani’ which means half a glass of water. It says that we should take half a glass of water instead of a full glass of water. If we take half a glass of water

Friendship in Your Life

Image
Do you remember the days when you were a kid? There was someone with whom you used to be very happy. He or she might be your mother, brother, sister or anyone else. Do you know what they are called? They are called friends. There is a saying that “a friend in need is a friend indeed”, however, the simple definition of a friend is anyone with whom you feel comfortable with, feel relieved and share your thoughts freely with. Friends are those with whom you love spending time, whether the time is good or bad. Having friends in your life is like a journey. This journey starts right after we get born. In this early phase of our life, the family members who take care of us are our friends, like our parents, grandparents, uncle, aunt, etc. When we grow little older, we get to meet more and new people, especially of our age groups. Then we get close to them, we get fond of each other. We play, see TV, and most importantly, enjoy with each other. Then, we grow up to the age of going to

When He Pressed the Buttons on that Device

Image
Pravesh entered the office by his identification card where he works. Like him many entered the office and as the time passed the whole office got busy as usual. Then, Pravesh before powering his computer on, took out a device from his backpack, pressed a few buttons on the device and at that time the device got activated. After the device got activated he put the device in the drawer of his desk. A few moments later a ‘News’ notification got into everyone’s mobile phone in the office. The news was from an unknown website and the notification said, “Every educational and professional information of employees of different companies/organizations saved in different places are missing. Reasons for the same are not known.” But the information of the ones in the office where Pravesh works were safe. After the office hours got over, Pravesh took out the device from the drawer, turned it off by pressing a few buttons on it, put it back in his backpack, got out of the office, and left for

I Saw IPL Grow

Image
Things were very different before IPL (Indian Premiere League). Before IPL, as a school kid, I used to play carroms, do my holiday homework or watch movies and other stuff on T.V. on my summer vacation.  But, all of these things changed when the Indian Premier League came into existence , my playing, studying & other stuff did not collide with the IPL match timings. Before IPL , I had in my mind that football is for counties or club format (e.g. English Premier League, La Liga, etc.) and cricket is for International matches, but, IPL changed my perception about it and I am sure it also changed the thinking of the people all over the world. Before IPL, there was the mighty Australian Cricket team which won almost every match, they played. But things did not remain the same after IPL. Now, there is no one team which dominates the international cricket matches like they (Australia) did. At this time, you would see ICC ODI rankings keep changing and there is always more th

I liked Your Work but...

Someone: Please have a seat. Other one: Thank you. Someone: I read your email and the things which were with the same. Those were nice. I liked your work but I am having a tough time figuring out how to use them, how to make those work in benefits of us and yours. Other one: I am very glad that you liked my work, but you don’t have to have a headache of how to use those, you can see those as samples and I can create something fresh, I can create many fresh things. Since, you have gone through those pieces of mine then you must have known my abilities, how is my knowledge and what I am capable of creating or doing. So, you don’t have to use my works, you can use my abilities and knowledge which made those works possible. Someone: But don’t you think the abilities you have, you can work with us, you don’t have to work for us. Other one: I didn’t understand, aren’t those the same things? Someone: It’s your choice.

Kashish, Rohan, and Rahul were hanging out at Rahul’s place. Kashish: Are you scared? Rohan: Scared? Me? Yeah. A little bit. Kashish: You should be scared as in the previous meeting you had very much opened your mind. Rohan: But, what’s wrong in having an open mind? Kashish (with a little anger towards Rohan): Nothing is wrong with your open-mind. The things which are really wrong are the things which you had said to my father that day. Rohan (with a shocking reaction to what Kashish said, the reaction had a little bit anger too): Oh my God. Are you serious? Never in my life, I have spoken any bad words to or for your father. Kashish (continuing her anger): I am not talking about that, you idiot. It’s about…………… Flashback At Kashish’s home, Kashish’s Father (to Rohan): I have no problem with you two being in a relationship and I don’t mind that she is earning more than you, but, you should earn a certain amount and know the art of saving to

The Ones who Had To Protect Many Zones of the Universe

At The Beginning of The Universe… At the beginning of the universe, there were a huge number of creatures who were assigned to each of the many zones of the universe by the most powerful and the most respected one of the universe, the ‘Jicretor’, or in other words, one ‘Jiproc’ each was assigned to protect each of the many zones of the Universe by the ‘Jicretor’.   The Jiprocs had got extremely great powers from the Jicretor. These powers were given to the Jiprocs for protecting the beings living in the many different zones of the universe. Each Jiproc was responsible for protecting the zone of the universe which they had been given the responsibility of by the Jicretor. And, the living beings whom the Jiprocs were protecting didn’t have those kinds of superpowers.   In those times, every jiproc was busy guarding his/her zone and the living beings living in the zone, except one jiproc named ‘Leivot’, Leivot didn’t have the same plan as the other jiprocs had.

When I ran in the Balloon Race

When I was studying in class ‘Prep’ I was with my parents at the Annual Sports Day in our school, I was 6 years of age, studying in class ‘Prep’ then. I had no idea about what was going on that day at the school. Before reaching the school that day, I even did not know that my parents had registered my name for the ‘Balloon Race’ there, I was just very happy riding with my parents on our scooter. In those days, I always enjoyed sitting on the little seat ahead of my father on the scooter. That day, our school was very crowded That day, our school was very crowded. There were sounds and their echoes everywhere, mostly because of the mikes and also due to the noise made by the kids and their parents. Many events were organized that day, most of them were related to athletics, but as a kid I was very confused about everyone jumping and running here and there.

The following is the story of Vishwas narrated by himself. Here goes Vishwas:   Namaskaar. My name is Vishwas Verma. I have a great affection for music since my childhood . I have this habit of trying to sing songs in the same tune as that of the songs I listen to on radio, TV, and mobile phone. When I used to hang out with my friends during our college days, I loved singing songs to them and they were also very fond of my voice and singing. My friends used to say, “ What a voice you have! You have great control over your voice. It’s a treat to hear you singing. ” One of the friends used to say, “ I am recording this and will soon upload it to social media. ”   me singing songs with different tunes when hanging out with my friends was the story of almost every day during my college days .
