Last post of the year - 2017

Firstly, let me inform you, I don’t know what to write. This post is just totally to satisfy myself and for your knowledge, if you don’t know what’s really in my mind. If you already know, it might serve as information to you. Nothing special happened in this year. Perhaps, I gotta story for my new book which is expected to be released in 2018. I’m hopeful about it. Let’s see how it goes. I haven’t written about social issues for awhile because I was busy with my new book. This year has been a dark year for the art and also artists. Well, everyone knows the famous Padmavati controversy. The movie was expected to come out in theatres by the first week of December, but as we know nothing of that sort happened. Instead, it’s release date of 2017 was eliminated by Karni Sena. However, censor board is also not taking a grave interest in this matter, money invested in this project by producers, and hard work of actors might go in vain. The same thing happened with Salman Khan’s n...

Time to apologize

Here it is. I mean its going on, the last month of the year 2017. Soon, we will be welcoming 2018. So, before saying goodbye to 2017, I want you to look back for a few minutes. Just wait, settle down, and think. Think about people whom you've hurt this year; by mistake or with purpose. Having said that, I want you to apologize to them and forgive them even if it wasn't your mistake! Don't enter a new year with sadness and anger. Enter it with happiness and positiveness around you. That's all I request to you. Thank you, Amay Saxena!

Short Story: The House of None

Year 2002 For years, a man named David with his family lived in the house. Everyone knew them, personally. They were, what we say,  good people,  to be with. They hosted parties on weekends, went out on vacations, and were always happy. Hardly, people saw them in anguish. They also had a daughter. A little one, the one who  always  won hearts of people with her prettiness and innocence. She was an 8-year-old girl who was always seen playing with her dog, a mongrel. One Sunday night, he hosted a party for his neighbors. Next morning, local cops found 28 dead bodies from David’s house including his own family. All people present in the house consumed cyanide, which was obviously the cause of death. But, no poison was found in the food which people wolfed down, that night. After investigation of the case by the local police, the case was handed over to the crime cell of HP (Himachal Pradesh). They too couldn’t find anything significant which resulted in sh...

Short Story: The House of None (Part Three)

Part Three: 28 dead bodies Without wasting another minute, Professor Roy stepped inside the house. He switched on the torchlight to see the interiors of the house. As heard, the house was neat and tidy. It felt as if someone cleaned the house regularly and stayed there. The house still had furniture which was covered by white sheets. Professor Roy walked through the corridor and entered the kitchen. It was also clean. He tried switching on the tube light but, there was no electricity. He searched every nook and cranny but, didn’t find anything worth. He thought the rumors about the house were untrue, and people here were definitely imagining things.    Someone comes here every day and cleans this house. Professor assumed.  He turned around and looked towards the door thinking of getting out of this house because his visit was nothing but just waste of time. He was walking towards the door when in front of his eyes, the door got closed on its own. After w...

Short Story: The House of None (Part Two)

Part Two: Disturbance  It was 1.30 a.m. by the time Professor Roy reached the small town. He parked the car on the rear side of someone’s bungalow. He had one of his friends living here. He had already informed him of his arrival. Professor stood in front of an unknown house and scanned the entire surrounding. Unsurprisingly, it was a very quiet place. There were few shops nearby which were closed. His friend had told him to wait near the bus stop by 8.30 but, he was too late. “Roy, my friend”, A loud and clear voice came from the back of Professor. He turned back and saw his friend standing right behind him. “Hello, Niraj. Glad you came here otherwise it would have been difficult for me to locate your house.”  “Yeah! Here the houses are quite identical. Let me help you with your rucksack.” Niraj insisted to help. “No, everything is tickety-boo. I wish to see the house right away.” “I don’t think this is the suitable time to go around that house. Perhaps, w...
