As if the whole world has secretly conspired to steer her life away from her, impetously thrusting her into this asphyxiating joy, a hazy face just finished calling her name out, "Jayanthi!". Yes, She had done it. It felt as if her ears had gone numb with the tumultuous applause audible only to her.

Lymphatic due to age, her grandmother 'bamma', Jayanthi's only kin alive, could only appreciate her success languidly which made Jayanthi extremely irritable. But her joy was so enormous that nothing could bring her elated self perched on the mountain peaks of the likes of Himalayas down to reality.

She swept off into a reluctant slumber thinking incessantly about the forthcoming day and the precarious future ahead of her. Little did she know then about the inimical outside world awaiting to rip her off of her ingenuous and puerile innocense. For now she was happy.

Set adrift from land onto the high seas, the world takes on a different hue. Her new job was a wild open sea to her !

"Things new always bring the hope of something great."

how will her job be? who will she meet there? what will life teach her ?hang on...

Is a story of two twins, of whom one was an epitome of rectitude, while the other was as sordid as anyone can ever be. Though identical, their conspicuous moral proclivities made their facial resemblance ridiculously farcical. The squalid predilection of the murderer twin was so profound in his sanguineous impudence that no trial was required to prove him guilty. Yet..

The only eye witness to the crime was an old octogenarian woman. Unfortunately, her senile faculties failed her to record the murderer's visage which was obfuscated in the faint moon light at that hour of the night and rendered her witness unreliable. The murderer in order to prevaricate the truth used his wife as an alibi. The court vindicating his claims, absolved him of the accusation. The other twin was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment .

Just when all were leaving the court, a bus from the otherside hit the guilty among the twins. As a god imposed justice, he succumbed to the impact of the collision.
Affrighted by this implausible turn of events, the murderer's wife conceded perjury . The twin was acquitted reinforcing the trust in the deific justice impervious to human erring.
