Women's Day special : Story 1 by Raj K. Mitra

Some battles are self defeating! In college, once a dear friend had deleted some messages from my mobile. I was mad at her and gave her a mouthful. She was in tears. Years later when I looked back, I found the sender of those messages was long left behind; the mobile that carried them was broken, tattered, discarded; time of course had moved on in its own pace. The only elements left over from that evening was me and the friend, still together and standing strong unconditionally in support of each other. Ten years later I went back to her and apologized; and we hugged to relieve something that was perhaps forgiven but not forgotten!

Such moments are invincible; such people are invincible.

#TellMeYourStory starts the International Women's Day week with a story by Raj K. Mitra?, titled as "The Invincible." He takes us through a journey where we are left alone to question all our judgments. How fair are we? What about those who silently suffered the conditions we imposed? The sentiments we never valued? The sacrifices we never understood? The battles that were more than personal!

Read on; please do leave your comments/reactions in the "comments" section of the link.
