A Perfect Start

Sanitation and hygiene begins at Home!

The daily news on the TV was discussing energetically about the "Swachh India", a nationwide campaign for a clean and hygienic India.

Kavitha came out of the kitchen with a tea in her hand. She was headed towards her only son Rahul who was busy getting ready for his college.

"Didn't you mention me something related to this event, Rahul?" she asked her son pointing to the TV.

Rahul nodded as he took the tea from his mom.

"My class is participating in this event under my guidance starting from today. We will start cleaning our college and then slowly we will start volunteering to clean several parts of our city," he answered proudly.

Kavitha observed at her son for a moment.

Without wasting much time, she said "Just a minute son. I got something to show you," and she hurried towards his bedroom.

Soon, she came out calling for her son.

Rahul responded, but he stopped halfway and stood staring at his mom. He understood what his mom wanted to convey him. He sighed with a smile on his face.

"Oh, Mom..." he muttered. He then took the mirror from his mom and went inside the bathroom.

In a moment, he came out clean and fresh. Not even a stubble was to be seen.

Rahul's mom popped her son’s collar and said, "A perfect day starts from the perfect look and my son, you have it now". She looked pleased.

Rahul hugged his mom and went his way for doing his little bit for a cleaner and hygienic India.

A Profile Named "Arjun"

The screen in front of me shone brightly with the words “Bharat Matrimony”. It has been a day that I had created my profile on their website. And requests have already started pouring in.

But, I was busy typing something from my mobile on to the search bar.

Profile ID: xxxxxx

Arjun. He had called me in my mobile that afternoon in my office and introduced himself.

He said he liked my profile in Bharat Matrimony and gave his profile ID telling me that if I was okay with his profile, he could ask his parents to speak to my parents.

After that talk, I felt nervous and at the same time wanting to see his face. He sounded soft and well mannered.

That evening,

My heart was pounding fast. It seemed ages for the website to load.

And in a flash, his profile appeared on the screen

My sister who was standing nearby looked his profile closer and said,” Damn, he looks good but something is missing. Do you like him?”

For a moment, I was silent. Then I replied, “Yes, but those stubble…"

She chuckled, "Yes, It looks like he had a love failure or something.”

I pretend to be cross and said, “It does not mean that I hate stubble. It is not well trimmed to suit his personality.”

Suddenly, my mobile beeped and I saw a message from him, “Am I okay?”

Without a second thought, I messaged him. There was no reply. And I was blaming myself.

Next day, there was a reply from him asking me to see his profile again.

I rushed to my laptop. Arjun had updated his profile.

The well groomed face in the profile, without a word told that he was already in love with me. So am I.
