As he watched the news headlines, he
shuddered.
Yet another Tsunami...
Soon memories flooded thereby
transporting him to December 2004
Has nine years passed, he could not
believe.
In order to attend a press conference
Carolyn had gone to Chennai; a journalist she was.
He was supposed to join her on New
Year’s Eve and they would visit many places in India.
Carolyn was excited about her first trip
to India.
He still remembered that twinkle in her
eyes.
But, fate had other plans. May be God
loved her more.
He sighed.
He closed his eyes and offered quick
prayer.
A tear escaped his eyes...
