It was an amazing interview with Pranay Tiwari who in his Curriculum Vitae had mentioned that he writes short stories, mostly fiction. I was quite curious to know about them and requested him to narrate one. Here is how the story goes.
There was a couple who got married against their parents wishes. The parents accepted the marriage but were not too happy. All was well for a few months until during a medical examination it was revealed that the girl was suffering from cancer. All hell broke loose at home with the in laws cursing their fate and also the girl. The boy on coming back from an official tour was shown the report, and he was just staring at the report, truly shocked. The girl’s stare was fixed at her husband and she waited for his reaction knowing fully well this could be the moment of truth. Her husband was silent and the in laws were furious. The husband looked at her, tore the report and hugged her. Both of them were in tears but promised each other that they will fight this together.
That’s love – Happy Valentine’s Day
The next piece he narrated was when this couple went to a market. While buying tomatoes, some of them fell down. The wife stretched to pick them up when a vehicle from behind came to a screeching halt. The husband screamed at her, and she was totally upset because he had never done this before . Back home after the silent walk from the market, she asked him ‘ Have I become a pest ? How is that you screamed at me and that too in the market place? Pat came the reply from the husband ‘Sweetheart, the tomatoes can go, but I can never ever afford losing you’.
That’s love – Happy Valentine’s Day.
The final piece was about the couple visiting a lot of doctors to cure the ailment. Finally, they zeroed on one whom they thought was loving and trustworthy. The date of the operation was fixed and as they turned back to the exit door, they saw a picture of a girl on the wall. The doctor told them that it was his daughter who had died of cancer some years ago. Looking at the girl’s tearful face, the doctor told her ‘ You have nothing to worry and your life is my responsibility. I have found my daughter in you’.
That’s love - Happy Valentine’s Day.
Thanks to Pranay Tiwari and Happy Valentine’s Day to one and all

Loved the stories and the narration.
Happy valentine's day
Lovely post Sir. The stories narrated truly captures the V-Day spirit!
Hmm ! Wonderful stories sir ! They just show the power and purpose of life in itself !
Thanks for sharing !
Happy Valentine's Day
Each narration was true depeiction of true and selfless love.
What I found beautiful in each of the three stories is that they were very real - they could happen to any one of us in our day-to-day lives... and the fact that in these stories, love is not expressed through material goods (gifts / chocolates / flowers et al) but in honest, true and unconditional words, intentions and actions.
Dear Sir,
I liked the story & narration. It was touchy.
regards,
