Stories We Find on the Roadside
Everyday Moments That Speak Volumes
The roadside is more than just a pathway; it’s a stage for life’s simplest yet most profound moments. From the sizzling sound of pakoras at a small cart to a cobbler fixing worn-out shoes with precision, every roadside scene tells a story we often overlook.
Take a moment to observe. There’s a street vendor working tirelessly, a taxi driver waiting for his next fare, or a child selling flowers with dreams hidden in their eyes. These are not just fleeting visuals; they are glimpses into resilience, hope, and humanity.
Every passerby is a character, every stall a chapter. Whether you’re grabbing a quick snack or waiting for a bus, the roadside is a reminder that life is happening in real time, full of stories waiting to be heard.
So next time you walk by, pause and take it in. Sometimes, the most ordinary places carry the most extraordinary tales.

The Shadow of Suspicion
It was a time when my work brought me close to a prominent city official. I had a government-issued vehicle that stood out in the bustling streets. My wife’s aunt lived in a busy neighborhood known for its vibrant market scene. This was during a period when a local political group held considerable influence over the city, and their presence was felt everywhere.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.
