Pages He Never Read
In a dusty attic, under a weak flickering bulb, sat an old leather-bound notebook. Its pages were yellowed, its cover cracked by time. But what made it special wasn’t how it looked it was what it contained: the story of a life waiting to be read.

The roof leaked during monsoons, and rats chewed through their rice bags. But that wasn’t what bothered Rafiq most.

For many, a morning walk is not just an exercise—it is a quiet ritual that sets the tone for the entire day.

Senior assembly day was always a drag. They’d heard it all before—“follow your dreams,” “you matter,” “don’t give up.” But today, something was different.

The Weight of a Single Brick
Ravi stood at the edge of the half-built apartment block, the air thick with dust and the hum of distant cranes. His calloused hands gripped a single brick, its edges rough against his skin. At 42, he’d laid thousands of them—schools, malls, homes—but this one felt different. This brick wasn’t just cement and clay; it was a decision.The site was a mess. Cranes loomed like skeletal giants, their arms frozen mid-motion. Workers shuffled with tired eyes, their chatter replaced by the occasional clink of tools. The project, a 20-story luxury tower in Mumbai’s outskirts, had stalled six months ago when the developer vanished with the funds. Half the crew had quit, leaving Ravi and a skeleton team to guard the skeleton structure. The local papers called it a “monument to greed,” but to Ravi, it was a wound—his wound.He’d grown up in a slum two kilometers away, where his father, a rickshaw puller, dreamed of a brick house. That dream never materialized; the monsoon took it, along with his father’s health. Ravi swore he’d build something lasting. At 18, he apprenticed under a mason, mastering the art of aligning bricks with precision, each one a step toward stability. This tower was supposed to be his masterpiece—a chance to lift his family from the tenement they still called home.But the developer’s betrayal changed everything. The unpaid wages left Ravi’s wife, Priya, juggling two jobs, and his son, Arjun, skipping college to help. The bank was breathing down their necks, threatening to seize their tiny plot. Yet, Ravi stayed. Not out of loyalty, but defiance. He’d finish this tower, even if it killed him.That morning, the site manager, a wiry man named Sanjay, handed Ravi a notice: demolish what’s built, clear the land, and move on.
