Sparkle!

Medical reports don't lie! It might sound not so true, but she hid them in the pages of a giant fairy tale, hoping some miracle would happen! Maybe little elves would crawl down from book shelves and change the scary numbers on the report forever! 

Alas! Medical reports don't lie and the doctors don't either, Carcinoma chose my beloved father's lungs as it's home.

A teary eyed daughter aimlessly roamed around the streets of Kolkata, not knowing the way forward. 

Her gloomy eyes hated all the happiness joy and sparkle around. After all, it was the city of joy! how could she help? 

Wait there! she found a pair of gloomy eyes with a burden of unkempt hair, covering a sad and tired face , till the nose.

The face said, he was maybe 10 yr old but it seemed he has spent a thousand lives in misery.

She leaned down patted his back and asked him if he was hungry. He sheepishly nodded his head 

She hurriedly ran to a cakeshop and picked up some goodies ,but felt bad that she didn't ask him to choose she went back and asked the boy about his choices.

He was reluctant to enter the store in tattered clothes and softly whispered "I have not eaten for 2 days, I am hungry, any food would do"

She handed him the pack of goodies. The gloomy pair of eyes turned in to sparkling eyes.

When the elves can't help, you be one!
