THE SIDE STORY
Shakespeare, William Shakespeare proposed that, and I quote “All
the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players” when he said them
he was telling you to choose you roles wisely. It depends on you, that you want
to be a hero or a side artist. I gave quite a thought to that quote about what
it could be and then I concluded that I’ll agree to disagree.
Every side story is
someone’s lead story.
So, this is the story of “Mr. Side artist 1”
for the sake of convenience let’s call him Saone (You know what I did
there). Saone is well not an ordinary boy. Born in a lower class family in the
rural areas of India he turned 17 a couple of days ago. Well he didn’t study
well and so now he is unemployed but he finds seasonal jobs for the fulfillment
of his very “quite so often” alcohol parties. He has a family but not a kind he
lives with. His father is a labor worker and spends most of his time on sites. His
mother tried all what she could to keep him at the right path but she couldn’t.
And then there’s his other brother to whom he didn’t talk in ages and another 3
more brothers and 4 more sisters.
Now, our Saone guy is not a good guy. Starting from his
first class at school he bunked almost all of them. He used to smoke pot, and “beeddi”
with his other friends, he also does part time pick pocketing and female abuse.
And well as charity begins at home he tried that on his sister and got caught,
was beaten to death but well, well, there he is. A seed so poisonous that can
rip off an entire farm, a start (of a movie) so bad that its end would take the
entire industry down.
Now, Is Saone the hero of his own story? And then what I realized
was such side stories are not even worth happening. What if Saone would not
have existed? Will it be any trouble for Anjali or things will turn out in an
entire different direction.
