I would like to wish 'Maa Telugu' readers a very Happy, Prosperousand peaceful New Year - UGADI!

Once again, we have the pleasure of bringing you the new issue ofMaa Telugu souvenir magazine overflowing with special features andphotos on sports, festivals, occasions and TCC (Telugu Cultural Cen-tre).

We have maintained the magazine's character by including a varietyof artwork, short stories, poems and articles from new, experiencedand renowned writers, such as Oleti Parvatheesam garu and VasireddiNaveen garu, whose works are truly inspirational.

As usual, we have accepted submissions from local writers too, so thatreaders have wider insight into Literature and this initiative led bythe editorial team has proved worthwhile over the past few years.Amongst the local writers is, Frances Gordon, whose story we pub-lished in a previous issue and was picked up and translated by Pea-cock Classics in India.

For many years, 'Maa Telugu' has been providing a platform fromwhich not only experienced authors and artists can exhibit their workbut from which budding writers and artists can do the same; practicetheir craft, test the waters in different genres and styles, grow in con-fidence and develop their talent.

TAL's Telugu Cultural Centres have been endeavoring to raise theawareness of the importance of Indian and in particular Telugu cul-ture, language and arts. We request parents to utilise these centres andencourage their children to attend, participate and benefit from TCC'sactivities.

Many thanks to all the sponsors, contributors, TAL team, trustees andAdvisors for their huge support and help.

Special thanks to Vamsee Mohan Singaluri garu for his endless hardwork and many sleepless nights towards producing this souvenir.

As always, I am immensely grateful to Smt. Ponnapalli Sita garu forher patience and continuous hard work to bring this magazine into abeautiful shape and to Vasireddi Naveen garu for his support.

Best wishes & Happy reading...

Editorial



We wish you all a Happy Ugadi!

It is now the time for all of us to think retrospectively and reflect on what has been achieved so farin preparation for our future activities. It is a real proud moment for all of us to acknowledge thatTAL has now reached a unique position as the most respected and distinguished Telugu culturalorganisation in Europe. It it now in a position to set an example for all other Telugu culturalorganisations in the UK to follow.

TAL had established two institutions during the past decade of its dedicated service to the commu-nity that brought its distinct recognition– the Telugu Cultural Centre and TAL Sports. In addition toits well established list of widely appreciated cultural events, TAL has, for the first time, conductedThyagaraja Aradhana initiated by Telugu Cultural Centre. This event was extremely successfuland had exceeded the expectations of the organisers, performers and the audience. This was pos-sible due to the collective efforts with shared passion and dedication by all those involved. This isindeed the symbol of the continued selfless work of the TAL leadership, volunteers and membersduring all these years. We suggest the board of trustees make Thyagaraja Aradhana an institu-tional event every year.

The pinnacle of TAL's list of recognitions came from one of the oldest UK Telugu organisation-Andhra Association. Before ceasing its activities, Andhra Association had chosen TAL to carry itslegacy. This is indeed a great privilege and tribute to TAL and reflects its longstanding commit-ment to selfless furtherance of Telugu culture in the UK.

A further positive development we are keen to share is that Bromley & Kent Telugu Association isclosely working with TAL in serving its local Telugu community. We understand that TAL andBKTA share the same values and this collaboration will certainly carry mutual benefit. We adviseTAL leadership continue the core principles of the organisation, i.e maintaining mutual respect,transparency and openness whilst associating with other Telugu associations.

Finally we like to emphasise that it is also the Telugu community we serve that shares equal re-sponsibility for this success and we expect their continued participation to strengthen TAL bysupporting its activities. It indeed is a great honour and privilege for TAL to associate with you all.

'TAL Sports Academy' is an evolving body and TAL requests you to join hands to build this institution.

During the early years of TAL, handful of sporting enthusiastic persons came forward to organise

sporting activities for Telugu Community. This has grown from organising few localised tournaments

to organising national level tournaments. TAL sporting team is able to create TAL flag ship sporting

tournaments, which many players are waiting to participate year after year. A few to name are

Badminton Championship, Volleyball Championship, Football Championship and Premier Cricket

league. It is not at all a surprise to say that "TAL Premium League (TPL)" is the biggest T20 cricket

league that is being organised globally by any community organisation. This is a tremendous

achievement and only possible with all the dedication and hard work done by TAL sporting team,

Volunteers, Sponsors, Players and TAL family members.

TAL is always engaging with the Telugu community since day one!

TAL Premier League Cricket: With a humble beginning of having just four cricket teams in 2008

it made an impressive progress with relentless efforts of the teams and grew over the years to 12

teams with 240 players by 2013. This has presently expanded to 16 teams. Lot of planning has already

gone into it for TPL 2016. Kick off meeting help on 03 April 2016.

TAL Badminton Championship: TAL started its UK's Badminton Championship in 2012 and

conducted in 6 locations across the UK and subsequently organising many such tournaments every

year. Telugu Women are taking part every year in Mixed Doubles. It is commendable that it received

appreciation from the former All England Open Champion, Gopichand.

TAL Volleyball Championship: TAL launched Volleyball tournament in 2013 with 8 teams and

this has increased to 15 teams and 130 players by 2015.

TAL Football Championship: TAL sports team made an incredible mark in Telugu history in the

UK & Europe by entering its first ever men's indoor football championship in 2015. 8 teams played

with 80 players participated.

Having made a great deal of progress now the time has come to secure the sports activities for the

future and therefore TAL Board has decided to establish 'TAL Sports Academy'.

involved. We request players, sports lovers of the Telugu community to come forward to build this

academy for the benefit of present and future generations. Contact TAL via email [email protected]

Your children are not your children.They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.They come through you but not from you,And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,For they have their own thoughts.You may house their bodies but not their souls,For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.You may strive to be like them,

On Children

but seek not to make them like you.For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your childrenas living arrows are net forth.The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,and he bends you with His might.that his arrows may go swift and far.Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;For even as He loves the arrow that flies.So he loves also the bow that is stable.

TELUGU ASSOCIATION OFBROMLEY AND KENT

Lavanya Kavarthapu

What started as gathering of a group of Telugu families to formally celebrate Ugadi 2014 soonbecame an association that has spread rapidly.

Lavanya Kavarthapu, Dr.Sunila Dhaduvai and Sunil Gandham along with friends organised thefirst Ugadi celebrations in Bromley area in 2014,with assistance from TAL friends. Dr. Ramulu gracedthe occasion as the chief guest and gave very encouraging words, where as singers TAL Mahesh andSwathi Reddy showered everyone with full entertainment by singing popular Telugu cine songs. Newyear 2015 witnessed a formal structuring of the organisation and the 'Bromley and KentTelugu Asso-ciation' was formed. Larger group of Telugu friends from Kent joined making it a much bigger, pro-fessional and credible organisation.

BKTA organised the TAL Sankranthi celebrations in January 2015 as per TAL's wish and this washighly successful. Ugadi 2015 celebrations saw much greater participation from regional Telugu com-munity and this included sports tournaments. The ladies group folk dance 'Nalla Cheera', that wasperformed in BKTA Ugadi was extremely well received and was performed again in TAL Ugadi 2015with matching recognition. BKTA organised formal events during Sankranthi Ugadi and New Yearand is very much looking forward to its much bigger Ugadi 2016 celebrations under expanded organisingteam that includes Dr. Asharekha Peddu, Bhanu Bhamidipati and BharathiVadrevu. BKTA, similar toother such organisations is now able to provide a platform for all Telugu families in the region tomaintain their connections and culture and spread this to the next generations.

TAL has been instrumental in shaping up the BKTA as an organisation and the BKTA membersare extremely grateful for that. Particular gratitude goes to Dr Ramulu Dosaju, Dharmavati Nistala,Ramanaidu Boyalla, Sathyender Pagadala, Mallesh Kota and Balaji Callur. It is really impressive tosee the professionalism demonstrated by TAL leaders by demonstrating altruism and maintaining themutual respect so that BKTA could establish and grow in serving the local Telugu community. BKTAfeels very fortunate and extremely proud to be associated with TAL.

Short Story

LOOK BACKHema Macherla

I heard the thump of heavy-booted footsteps approaching.

I tried to run but I was much slower than when I was younger.In my youth, I was like the wind. No one could match me orcatch me. Now I was beaten by a mere security guard in thesupermarket. In no time he was all over me, pinning medown. I felt like a helpless deer in a tiger's grip, and I knewthe game was up.

Upstairs, in the office, I could see a trace of pity in themanager's eyes when he took in my sunken face and frailbody. For a few moments, I thought I was going to get awaywith it. Then his expression hardened and his fingers hit anumber on the keypad.

It all started when I was only five years old. I was ab-ducted by a stranger.

I still remember that cold December day. I was so ex-cited because I was going to the shops with my mum. I lovedit and she would always buy me a packet of boiled sweetsor lemon candy. She held my hand tight until we entered themarket place, which was buzzing with Christmas shoppers.Jingle Bells was playing from a loud-speaker somewhere,my favourite song. When my mum was busy browsingthrough the festive items, my attention wandered over to awhite bearded Santa. He was standing not far away from thestalls, a red sack over his shoulder. I just knew it held loadsof presents for children like me. I stared at him. He was look-ing around. Eventually, when our eyes met, he beckoned meover. I ran towards him without giving my mum a backwardglance.

He picked me up and said, 'Do you want to see what Ihave in my sack?'

'Yes please!' My curiosity was mingled with delight.'Let's go somewhere quiet…but don't look back.' Hold-

ing my hand, he started walking fast, away from the marketand towards a car parked close by.

I remembered my mum's warning about talking tostrangers, but Santa was not a stranger, was he? I was soexcited, I forgot to tell my mum.

He sat me down in the back seat of the car and said, I

am taking you to toy land!''But I haven't told my mummy.''Don't worry. She will know anyway.'We travelled for a long time on the motorway. My

excitement began to wear off and I started to miss mymummy.

'Please can you take me back? I want my mummy...' Ipleaded, but Santa drove on.

'It won't be long. Don't you want your presents?' Hesaid, without taking his eyes off of the road.

I nodded, half heartedly.We must have been on the road for several hours be-

cause it was getting dark outside. Now I was really missingmy mummy and was frightened. Where were we going? Istarted to cry. 'I want my mummy...'

'Shut up.' Santa's voice was harsh.'I don't want any presents. Please just take me back to

mummy.' I was crying hard, my body was shaking with fear.I leant forwards and reached towards the door handle.

Suddenly the car stopped on a hard shoulder and Santaturned to look at me. His eyes were not kind anymore. Theywere red with anger.

'Stupid boy! Sit quietly.''No!' I squirmed and struggled. I tried to snap open my

seat belt. Again, I reached for the door handle. Santa pushedme hard and I fell back against the seat. His hands were heavyon my chest and I kicked him with all my strength.

'You little devil!' He slapped hard on my cheek. Thenhe pulled a rope from his pocket and tied my hands together,then my legs, before he pressed a piece of sticky tape acrossmy mouth. I couldn't even cry out. Hot tears rolled downmy cheeks.

I don't remember what happened next. I might havefallen asleep or passed out from fear, but when I woke up, Iwas lying on a hard floor. The room was dark and it took afew moments for my eyes to adjust. A faint streak of lightcoming through the curtains told me that it was morning.



When I looked around I saw the room was small and empty.Confused, I tried to call out to my mummy but my lips werestill stuck together, my legs and hands were still bound.'Sorry mummy, I didn't listen to you,' I sobbed in my mind.

I have no idea how long or for how many days I wasleft like that. My stomach was grumbling because I was sohungry but I wanted my mummy more than I wanted food.I was alone, lonely and absolutely terrified. 'Mummy,' Icalled to her in my mind, 'please take me out of here. I won'tbe naughty anymore, Mummy. I'm so frightened, mummy.Please don't let the monsters eat me like what happens inthe stories.' Afraid that any moment the bad Santa or themonsters would come and get me, I squeezed my eyes tightlyshut and staggered into the corner of the room where I curledup in a ball.

Eventually the door opened and a man came in. Itwasn't Santa. It was a man in ordinary clothes but Irecognised his eyes and realised it was the same person. Likethe big, bad wolf in Little Red Riding Hood.

'Are you hungry?' he asked.I nodded. Yes.'If you want food you have to listen to me. OK?'I nodded again.He untied the rope on my legs and hands. I gasped in

pain when he peeled the sticky tape off my mouth. It stungso much. I took a sharp intake of breath and cried out.

'Shut up, you little bastard!' His hand came like a flashand my cheek stung as if touched by burning coal.

I placed my hand across my mouth, trying to stifle thesobs that were rising in my throat. I was shaking with fearand my breath came in small, short gasps.

By the end of the week, I couldn't take the beatingsany more. I learned to stay calm, not ask for anything andnot call out for mummy. I even learned to call the big, bru-tal man Daddy. But in my mind he was never my daddy. Hewas always The Bad Man.

Time passed. I ate what I was given. At night I criedfor my mummy, silently and secretly, smothering my sobsin the pillow.

I have only a vague sense of time passing during thoseearly days. Maybe I was locked up for a month. Maybe evenlonger. Then one day, he put me back in the car and took meto live in a small, two bedrooms flat. I knew it must be veryfar from Glasgow, where my mummy lived, because hedrove for almost a whole day on the motorway. It was darkwhen we arrived.

This happened just a few weeks before my sixth birth-day. I must have heard someone mention the date. I remem-ber my mummy telling me that I was born on September29th. . I remembered my last birthday at home with cardsand presents. The bad man didn't wish me a happy birthday.There was no cake.

Not long after the move he told me I had to go toschool. He pushed me into the bathroom and shaved my headcompletely clean. When I rubbed my hand over my scalp itfelt like stubble. My mummy had loved my curls. He toldme to tell everyone at school and everywhere that she hadrecently died. It made me sad to say it but the bad man told

me he'd punish me if I didn't.As a boy, I was always scared, hungry and nervous. I

didn't do well in school. I knew I would never be a teacher'spet like some of the other children. Sometimes, at night, Iused to wonder if I could have done better if I was still withmy mum, if I was still feeling safe and secure. But I wouldnever know, would I?

Each weekend the bad man and I used to work. It didn'ttake much time for him to train me. I knew what would hap-pen if I didn't learn quickly, so I was fast to pick up the tricks.

'Look for the men's bulging pockets and the women'shandbags, then follow them,' he said. 'Your fingers shouldbe nimble and as light as a feather like when you pull thecontents out.'

He took me to the park every day and trained me torun faster than the wind with longer and lighter strides. Myfeet would barely touch the ground.

We travelled to various shopping centres to work.Oxford Street and Covent Garden were among the ones wewent to most frequently. It was easy on Saturdays when therewas a crush of excited shoppers. But Christmas was our besttime when the streets and shops were jam packed. We tooka lot home, not just cash but also watches and jewellery. Thebad man sold them during the week for a good price. In theevenings he went to a pub and returned late at night, or some-times he never came back at all. This was my life.

I left school at sixteen and took my profession seri-ously. The bad man changed everything, including my name,I even lost my Scottish accent.

By the age of twenty five, I had become a very expe-rienced professional. I made the bad man proud.

Life became a comfortable routine. The bad man wasnever caught for his crimes but he was caught by his drink-ing. He became bedridden and I became his carer. The solebreadwinner.

When I was thirty he died.The need to find my mother never left me. I had car-

ried the wish with me all this time. Twenty five years fromthe day I ran into Santa's arms, I made my way back toGlasgow. I had no idea where to go. I remembered the housenumber but I didn't remember the street name. I didn't evenknow my mother's name. I wandered around the city for acouple of days, seeing her in every middle-aged woman whopassed me. But it was hopeless. I had no way of trackingher down. Eventually I gave up and returned to London,angry with myself for thinking I could find her. Angry withmy own optimism and stupidity, I threw myself recklesslyand ruthlessly into my work, trying to dull the longing thatcould never be satisfied. I knew the anguish I felt when Iwalked away from her all those years ago would never leaveme. The void of not having her in my life could never befilled. Not by anyone.

I promoted myself from petty crime to robberies.Sometimes a police artist's impression of me would appearin the local papers or stuck on bus stops but I learned to hidemyself, moving away from the area until I was forgotten.

But at the age of fifty, I was almost caught during a



robbery that went wrong. Someone heard me, I ran, andbroke my ankle jumping off a high wall in the gardens ofthe property to the pavement below. Somehow I got awaybut from then on, with a ankle that never properly healed, Iwas useless at my profession. But old habits die hard andbesides I had to earn a living. No more robberies for me.Just pathetic pick pocketing from people and shopliftingfrom supermarkets.

But even then I got caught. So stupid. Just for a bottleof wine. The supermarket guard followed me from a distanceand saw me stuff a bottle under my coat. I was arrested andcharged, and after a long session at the police station thepolice came up with evidence to link me to several of myprevious crimes. Several years of imprisonment.

Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad in a prison cell, I thought,as two policemen led me away from the dock. I wouldn'thave to worry about feeding myself. I smiled at the officeras he locked me up. He didn't smile back. It was incrediblethat I hadn't been caught before so I felt this was my due. Itserved me right. There was almost a sense of relief

When the time came for my release, I walked away

with a battered spirit and shattered pride. I walked the streetswhich were filled with fairy lights and neon signs. Christ-mas. I felt no cheer as I roamed aimlessly around the streetsof the market town, listening with pain to the endlessly re-peated Jingle Bells.

Round the next corner was a Santa with his plasticreindeers and red sack of toys. A small boy was peeling awayfrom his mother who was absorbed in choosing things froma stall and was walking towards the man. The memory wasimmediate and overwhelming. And the coincidence wasuncannily unreal. It was as if I had been transported back intime.

'Don't…' It was a silent warning. Merely a thought.The boy stopped half way as if he heard me.'Go back to your mother.'The boy hesitated, glancing first at Santa, then at his

mother. Then he turned and ran back. His mother croucheddown and hugged him. Holding hands, they walked on.

I walked away, carrying the whole of my life on myshoulders, fighting a powerful feeling of what might havebeen.

closer she moved. And as she did so, something strangehappened.

The nearer she got to the monster, the smaller themonster grew, until in the end she was so close that she couldpick it up in the palm of her hand. And as she looked intothe face of the beast, she asked, "Who are you?" and themonster replied, "I am fear." And in that moment, the mon-ster disappeared in a puff of smoke and was never seen again.

We all have fear of the unknown; fear is a natural hu-man instinct. Fear can take many shapes and it's differentfor each of us. What do we do? We need to 'climb the moun-tain' of the unknown and confront what's causing our fear,then…

POOF! - It disappears!!Would you like to practise this skill of overcoming

fear?? Then as Roosevelt put it, 'Do one thing every day thatscares you.'

THE MONSTERGouri Srinivasan

A long, long time ago, in a distant land far off, there wasa mountain. At the foot of the mountain was a village, a vil-lage with a dark secret. Far in the mountain, there lived amonster. And sometimes this monster would grow very an-gry and would roar so loud that the whole earth shook. Whenthis happened, the people of the village would run insidetheir houses and hide, trembling at the ferocious sound.

A young girl who lived in the village became curiousabout this monster and decided she would go and see forherself the face of this terrible beast. And so she set off,climbing the steep mountain, stumbling over rocks, grow-ing tired and breathless as she moved up the side of themountain…And from the top of the mountain she could hearthe monster roaring. Still she continued; her determinationwas so great to look at the face of this beast.

At last she caught a glimpse of the creature. Closer and Y

Short Story

THE COLD SHOULDERFrances Gordon

Annie watched her husband's shoulder rise and fall as he

lay sleeping in bed beside her. The hotel air-conditioningsystem had made her head icy cold. No wonder she was stillawake! 'Couldn't bear to sleep in a warm room,' he'd said.It made him sweat like a pig, develop a rash all over his face,have a dry throat and turned the whites of his eyes purple.She couldn't remember a bit of heat in the bedroom doingthat to him years ago! Oh dear. Perhaps her memory wasdeteriorating like a few other body parts she'd rather not thinkabout. She looked again at his broad back. How she'd lovedhis shoulders when he was young. There was a bit morepadding now at his age but, frustratingly, she had to admit,she still found them attractive.

Annie edged herself carefully from the emperor-sizedbed, put one foot on the marble floor, then the other, andprayed that her creaking bones wouldn't wake him as shestood up. She reached for her pen and notebook and creptfrom the bedroom. He had to be up at 6 a.m. to leave for theoffice. 'Extremely important meeting,' he'd said. Chineseclients. Massive deal. The company was set to make a for-tune. He'd promised not to disturb her. She could believeit. Always the considerate one, she thought. That's my man.

She eased herself into a chair and looked through theglass exterior wall onto the thoroughfare below. Midnightin Hong Kong. Skyscraper hotels. Flashing neon signs.Pavements thronging with people. Her third visit and she'dbarely seen it. The last time she was here, he'd insisted theyspend it in the mountains. That was when he wasn't in theoffice, of course. Very edgy, she recalled. She'd put it downto a touch of his indigestion trouble. True, the hotels theystayed in were top notch, five star, and the mountains were,like mountains, but if she really wanted scenery she couldhave gone to the annual Lake District trip with the Women'sGroup. Still, he was boss and a very hard working one too...

That personal assistant of his must be a saint, the hoursshe keeps at the office. What's her name? Ronnetta. Ron,he calls her. I thought she was a man for a year. Well how

was I to know, I'd never met the girl. Still haven't. Nevermet any of his colleagues, come to think of it. The time neverseems right. They're either on holiday, too busy or ill. Per-haps, in the morning, if the meeting goes well and he's agree-able, I'll ask to be introduced to a few people before hewhisks me off to somewhere else remote. They'll be won-dering if he's got a wife at this rate. Yes. That's an idea. Sheflipped open her notepad and scribbled: Pop out to the shop-ping mall first thing and buy a gift for Ronnetta… for tak-ing care of my precious when I'm not here.

She put down her notebook and pencil to absorb bet-ter the scene from the window. The young girls were en-chanting, she couldn't help but notice. Small boned, oliveskinned, glossy haired. The micro skirts and high heelscaught her eye, so goodness knows what they did for themen. No wonder she always felt ungainly in this part of theworld. She looked quickly towards the bedroom. Was thathim moving? He'd be annoyed if she woke him. Needs tolook his best in the morning. Poor lamb. And still he findstime to go to all this trouble and expense. This has to beone of the most luxurious hotels he's ever brought me to.And the staff…so friendly, almost as if they knew him. Whatwouldn't Sheila, Kate and Hazel give to be here? Alwaysinterested in how I spend holidays with my wealthy husband.Bet things are really romantic not having seen each otherfor a while, they'd say laughingly. They only ought to know.

Yes. She squinted in the twilight. He'd definitelyshifted. She could just make out a mound in the middle ofthe bed. He could really spread out now without having totouch her and getting all hot and bothered. She couldn'tblame him for being irritated with her during the night. He'dgot used to sleeping alone now - poor dear. How long hadhe been away this time? Three months. He may even preferit. But she mustn't get tearful. Mustn't cry. She'd only wantto go and blow her nose and that wouldn't do. It wouldn'tdo to disturb him. How selfish can a woman be? He's outhere working non-stop for my sake and this is all the thankshe gets.



Twin beds. That's the answer. I'll suggest twin bedstomorrow. He'll be a lot happier in a single. More comfort-able. We'll ask to move to a different suite. No more of thisdouble-bed business. In all honesty, we're not sleeping to-gether even though we're in the same bed. Perhaps he needsa dose of something he's lacking in. He hasn't been very fitin the downstairs department for some time now. How longhas it been? Yes. Mention twin beds, she jotted in hernotepad. I won't have to worry about waking him then…and he needs his sleep otherwise his health could suffer.What was it he said happened to him when the air condi-tioning was switched off? Sweats like a pig… rash… swol-len throat… purple eyes. Perhaps I'll pop into the homeo-pathic shop while I'm at the mall in the morning in case he'scaught something tropical. The sweetheart. I wouldn't liketo think it's contagious. She picked up her pen: Check outstrange symptoms at the health store.

And now she wanted to do a pee. Typical. Well, shewouldn't be able to flush the loo afterwards, that's for sure.She looked across to the bathroom door. Her suitcase wasstanding exactly where the porter left it earlier on in the day.Odd that, she thought. By now I would normally have had

all my dresses and skirts hung up in the wardrobe, undies inthe drawer, shoes and sandals lined up, cosmetics arrangedin the bathroom. But no. I haven't felt like doing it. Justcouldn't get up any enthusiasm. She stood up. In fact, Ihaven't really felt like coming to Hong Kong at all.

Fifteen minutes later Annie stood beside the bed andwatched her husband sleeping like a babe. Orchids on pil-lows, she reflected. Towelling bath robes- his and hers. Sil-ver tea service. It was a pity. He really had pushed the boatout this time. No expense spared for his Annie. But it justwasn't fun spending so much time alone on holiday. And let'sbe truthful. It wasn't much fun spending it with him either.

Annie carefully lifted her suitcase and placed it by thedoor. Pulled the strap of her flight-bag over her shoulderand gave a last look in his direction. Yes. She'd much pre-fer the Lake District with the Ladies than Hong Kong withHenry and the climate was so much healthier for a meno-pausal woman - cooler. Which reminded her… she'd almostforgotten. Annie tiptoed over to the air conditioning regu-lator and turned it to the 'off' position. It was the first timeshe'd smiled since arriving…

Goodbye

POEMSDr. Rudrani Kadiyala

Lost in the shadows of the past,Wishing back an eraThat sped so fast.Clinging onto the Golden memories:Of fun-filled holidays, of laughter and tears,Our walks by the river and the fields,So many wonderful years.Sometimes a little mischievous was i,An occasional tantrum for all to see;Misunderstood and reprimanded was I -Yet, so lovingly and proudlyYou alone stood by me.Sorry I never said goodbye.

I long to hear againYour words of wisdom,Your stories, your poetic lines;Alas, gone, gone are those precious times.If only you were here today-I have so much more to tell you,So much more to say.Never will I forgetYour sincere kindness,Your affectionate smile,That twinkle in your eye.Sorry I never said goodbye.



Time has swiftly flown by-The clock ticked the hours, the Minutes and

seconds away.I look back upon my pastAnd curse it with regret:All those wasted years;Was it really worth the struggle,The pain and the tears?I took the wrong choices andThrew my precious years away.I long to re-call the lost time,To re-capture my stolen youth andTo have lived it my way.When and where did this journeyOf life start?Nostalgia fills my heart.

Many a person entered and left my life like passengerson a train.

I think of them often-Their memories visit me time and Time again.Their names and faces clear in my Mind,Young and old, family and friends,A reminder of days left behind.We talked away the hours,Whiled away the time;Not a care in the world-Certain that tomorrow, all would Be fine.

We laughed away our sorrows,Sang and danced through the Nights;Stood by oneanotherIn our joys, tears and fights.Gleeful times spent with my near And dear,Full of fun and frolic,Gone are the days of yesteryear.Some have passed away,Others haved moved far and wide;Distances have kept us apart-Nostalgia fills my heart.

I stare into the mirror:A saddened reflection greets me;Locks of greying hair,The odd fine line,A face wiseningWith the passing of time.A reminder of innocence lost-No longer the way it used to be.How I long to be young again:Sixteen maybe-Vivacious, energetic and carefree.But here I am-Here and now;Looking curiously, cautiously into The future,Yet reminiscing the past:For nostalgia fills my heart.

Perhaps you're looking down from the skies-Throwing me a blessing or two.Maybe you have come back againAs another,Blessed is your new familyTo have a soul as wonderful as you.

Wherever you are, whatever you do,Hear the words my lips cry,The voice from my heart shout-Forgive me,Sorry I never said goodbye.

Short Story

RAVIENABharti Parmar

Picking up the envelope from the door mat, Raveina quickly

looked at the unfamiliar hand writing. She knew instantlythat was the one that her neighbour was asking for, if it was

delivered to her address by mistake for the past few days.

What was in it anyway? As Raveina stared at the lightblue envelop curiously, slowly her mischievous side took

over and the desire of knowing what was in it got better of

her.She quickly went into the kitchen and gently heated a

knife over the gas flame and slid the envelope open. Glanc-

ing around quickly, her heart pounding and totally ignoringher inner good girl's warnings that it was absurd and totally

wrong, she unfolded the letter to find the heading "IMPOR-

TANT" PLEASE READ ON,' in big bright red. Raveina wastaken aback, thinking that her guess was right.

She stood there frozen after reading the next few lines.

The fact that she have known them ever since they havemoved in almost a decade, when she was just 8 years old,

she knows that their neighbours would not do such a thing.

Now at the age of 18, looking forward to her forensicscience course in couple of weeks, Raveina, whenever she

could, she volunteered to help people. She folded the letter

involuntarily and placed it back into the envelope and care-fully resealed in such a way that the envelope looked un-

opened.

A loud tapping on half opened back window made herjump.

'Hello,' said the familiar voice.

Seeing the neighbour, Raveina sprinted to the windowmouthing the words that she will open the front door.

'So glad that you have come: there's a letter for you.'

'Oh, thank you Raveina. Thanks for keeping it safe.'

'Is everything OK Mrs James?'

'Oh y...es...not really...,' said the neighbour lookingdown.

'Is there anything I can do?'

Mrs James looked up with her eyes full of water. Tak-ing a deep breath she replied, 'No, Nothing's right, nothing's

ever going to be right, ever again,' her voice cracked.

Feeling sorry for Mrs. James Raveina put her armsaround her shoulders and led her into the lounge.

'Now Mrs James, do you want to talk about it?' Hand-

ing her a glass of cold water, Raveina sat down beside her.'You can tell me and I promise it won't go anywhere.'

Mrs. James nodded and took a few sips of water be-

fore saying, 'We have to change our names,' she paused,putting the glass on the table with shaky hands, 'We've had

threatening letters for the past two years, and even the po-

lice can't find out who's behind these threats.'Raveina remained silent as Mrs. James paused to take

a breath.

'I don't want to leave my house,' she sobbed.Raveina handed her a tissue.

'Thank you,' she wiped her eyes. 'After going through

lots of ups and downs in my life, this house has been luckyfor me.'

'Do you think it could be someone you know who have

grudges against you?''No,' she replied, 'The police have been investigating

for the past two years. They've found nothing. They said it

could be due to our family name. But we don't know whocould do this? Police have checked everything, everybody

that we have contact with and still they couldn't come up

with anything. It's puzzling. Eventually they said that it may



work if we change our family name. At first I didn't want to

change our name, we have been carrying it from our

forefather's time. It's our identity...''Of course it is.'

'In the end we came to an understanding that we can

spell it differently, so that the sound of the name remainssame. This was suggested by one of the police officers and

that put my mind at rest. This letter that we have been wait-

ing for confirms that as from now on our name will be offi-cially spelt as, Mr and Mrs Geames.'

'That's a relief I suppose,' said Raviena.

❖

It was a cold and windy morning. Locking the door

behind her, Raveina was about to turn and the gale force

winds almost knocked her down. The folder in her handsdropped on the floor scattering the contents all over. As she

was trying to retrieve the notes she heard a voice.

"You're not picking my papers as well, are you?"Raveina looked up to see Sam, a property dealer from

across the road.

'Sorry, I thought these were all my notes.''Actually I was just putting my old printer and some

waste papers in the boot for recycling, but my bag got caught

in the hinge and all the papers got strewn away in the wind.I've managed to pick up as many as I could but some of the

papers ended up in your garden."

'Oh, you are welcome to check it,' Raveina said tak-ing a step back.

'By the way, is that printer in a good working condi-

tion? I am asking because you just mentioned that you weretaking it to recycling centre... I am looking for a reasonably

good printer in working order.

"Oh yes, it's in immaculate condition. You're welcometo have it, saves me time going to recycling centre. Tell you

what; I'll throw in a couple of new ink cartridges too if you

like.'❖

Two years had elapsed since and Raveina's been busy

with her studies. It was not until she was approaching theend of her second year degree course that she thought of

investigating Mrs James, now known as Mrs Geames's prob-

lem as a summer project.This is very strange, she thought. These results are

identical with the previous forensic experts, but there must

be something missing? something that I haven't thought of.

Fingerprints shows the negative results too, so that elimi-

nates friends and relatives.

Noticing that some letters were hand written and thelatest few were printed, she checked the handwriting and it

did not match with Mrs. Geames's friends or relatives. Star-

ing at the results, she thought of carrying out further inves-tigation on both handwritten and printed documents.

She had recently covered destructive and non destruc-

tive techniques and was very much interested in using suchmethodology for further investigation. All that she required

was a very small sample of ink from both written and printed

letters. This she could quiet easily extract using suitablesolvent to carry out further analysis, without destroying evi-

dence. The results would reveal the type of ink used both

from printed and handwritten letters and then she could iden-tify the type of printer used by matching it with the Interna-

tional ink library that holds the data. This would verify the

make and model of the printer and pen used.Once the results were collected from her laboratory and

analysed, Raveina discovered with excitement that the

printer ink matched the sort of printer that she's presentlyusing and it's the one that she had acquired from Sam a

couple of years ago. She quickly rushed home and retrieved

the accessory box of the printer that she stored in the loft.Looking through the box, Raveina discovered some of

the papers she had received from Sam on that windy day.

Amongst them were a couple of blank sheets of paper thathad slightly different texture. Revaina was about to put them

away when she thought of using non-destructive technique

to back up her prediction, guessing that the papers mighthave belonged to Sam.

Electrostatic detection device that uses charged par-

ticles and a toner revealed a hand written letter and the con-tents of it matched exactly with the one that Mrs Geames

had received.

Compiling all the evidence with her final report,Revaina submitted it to her head of the department and with

their approval; she sent a copy of her report to the forensic

department indicating that she had obtained the previousdocuments with regards to Mrs Geames investigation.

The Police department and the Head of department

were very pleased and commemorated Ravaina with theoutcome of the results. As Ravaina is a forensic scientist,

she left it to appropriate department for any further prosecu-

tion.

Shamantha felt her blood drain from her face as she sat in

the clinic's waiting room. Her heart pounding she stirred un-easily in her chair.

It was all to do with that idiot, Markandeya. Withmounting anger and frustration she bit her lower lip until itbled. It was true, she had some wonderful times with himbut how could she be so naïve and stupid to believe him inthe first place?

When she met Marky at a local ballroom dance class,she fell for his chiseled features, luminous eyes and jovialconversations. Later dancing the Argentine Tango with itssynchronized movements had made her feel so intimate withhim. She believed him when he said he would marry her.Soon they became lovers.

Two blissful years gone by and still he hadn't proposedto her. Slowly a little uncertainty started to germinate in herand when she missed a period it grew into a frustration.

When Marky booked tickets to Venice, she thought thatwould give them both a chance to talk about their future. Asusual she lied to her parents before boarding the plane withhim.

Luigi's - Italian Restaurant - St. Mark's Square inVenice.

The maitre d' showed them to their table.'Would sir or madam like to order drinks?' he asked.'Yes. We'll have some house wine,' Marky replied.'Not for me,' Shamantha said. 'Please, can I just have

a glass of water?'Marky waited until the maitre d' left them. 'What's up?

You usually love a glass of wine.''Just feeling a little tired. I don't fancy any at the mo-

ment.''Are you ready to order?''Yes.'Marky ordered the starters of parma ham with sliced

melon and stuffed aubergine in homemade tomato sauce.'And for the main dishes?' the waiter asked.

'Grilled seabass and fillet steak with green pepper-corns, brandy and a touch of cream please.' Marky alwaysliked to be in control.

Shamantha waited until Marky had a glass of wine. Forsome reason she felt nervous to tell him the good news.Would be he be thrilled to hear? After all they had been to-gether for over two years. She was sure that he would nowmake more of a commitment to her.

'What's up? You are not your usual self,' Marky asked.'You know I love you.'He looked at her.Smiling, she met his eyes. 'I have some news.''Oh!' he lifted his eyebrows.'I'm pregnant…''What!' His jaw dropped. 'You can't be. Were you not

taking precautions?''Yes… but…I must have forgotten…'He stared at her.She held his gaze.'I know you haven't asked me yet but isn't it time we

should get married?'Marky took another glass of wine avoiding her eyes.'It's just not the right time...''And when will it be the right time?'He scratched the back of his ear. 'Well, things have

changed now.''What do you mean things have changed now?' she

demanded. 'Markandeya! I'm having your baby!'His face said it all. He moved uneasily in his chair.'You can't have this baby,' he told her, 'You knew the

risks you were taking getting involved with me. We are fromdifferent communities. I can't go against my parents wishes,'his voice had never sounded so cold.

Taken aback Shamantha stared at him disbelievingly.Hurt and alone, in her flat, she scolded herself for be-

ing so foolish. Why didn't she see all this was coming? Howdid she think having a baby would make him marry her?How was she going cope? She knew her parents very well.

Short Story

ABANDONEDCarmel T. Gough



They would throw her out let alone support her. How wasshe going to cope with no income of her own? When all thedoors closed abortion is the only option? She felt empty in-side and terrified. Would it be painful? Would she regret itin future? Agony made her exhausted and she didn't knowwhen she dozed off until she woke hearing her own scream'No…!'

Drenched with sweat, trying to breathe normally, shesat upright remembering the dream of a child left in a dark-ened alleyway, wailing pitifully. An abandoned child? Wasit her child? In her dream Shamantha stretched her arms outto hold the baby but could not quite reach her as there was adeep void between them. A cruel looking woman was al-ready snatching her.

Even when she sat in the clinic the next morning, shecould not get the dream out of her mind.

'Shamantha…. ,' the nurse was calling her.'Yes.''Please come this way.'As she followed the nurse her stomach was churning.The elderly male doctor appeared cheerful. How could

he be when she was feeling so miserable?She sat at the edge of the seat while he asked about

her medical history. He did all the necessary medical checksbefore asking her to wait at the reception area.

An eternity of anxious waiting later she was calledback to the doctor.

The doctor spoke kindly, 'Unfortunately, we shall beunable to perform the procedure today as the tests are show-ing that your iron count is low. We can give you iron supple-ments to correct this and then we will be able to continuewith the operation at a later date in two weeks time.'

'A reprieve,' Shamantha murmured. 'Thank you.' Shethen walked out in a daze.

As the door of the clinic closed behind her, she let outa sigh of relief.

The dream had never left her. In fact it made her realisethat it had significance in her life. The abandonment of thechild mirrored what Marky had done to her. Now she wasready to face the hurdles she had to face. As the love for herchild overwhelmed her she smiled putting her hands overher stomach protectively.

Avani glanced at the rack of magazines as she waited in

the queue to buy her book. A picture on the front cover of'The Photographer' caught her eye.

'That's me,' she thought and took the magazine off theshelf.

She leafed through the pages until she came to thearticle about Teja Balaka. She read that he was rapidly be-coming established in photographic circles for his strikingportraits and that he had an exhibition of his work at a gal-lery not far from where she lived so she made a note of theopening times.

Avani turned to the front cover again and examined itclosely, 'Yes! That's definitely me.'

The umbrella had been a gift from Ravi Chandra whoshe thought loved her. 'It will cheer you up on a rainy day'he had said smiling when he gifted it to her. At that timeshe didn't know that the day would come so soon, when shecertainly needed cheering up. She still remembered, it hadbeen the day after she and Ravi had decided to go their sepa-rate ways. Or to put it more succinctly, he had dumped herin favour of her Best Friend.

Avani was on her way back to the office after her lunchbreak when it had started to rain and she tried to put theumbrella up, a sudden gust of wind had caught at her. Shehad to make a quick decision - hold onto her skirt to saveherself from the embarrassment of a Marilyn Monroe mo-ment or keep hold of the umbrella. She decided on theformer, much to the amusement of passersby. The umbrellabowled along the pavement for a time, then flew like a kiteup into the air before eventually coming back down to earth.

Holding onto her skirt she ran after it and managed toretrieve it. The umbrella wa blown inside out and its spokeswere a tangled mess. She dumped it, unceremoniously, intothe nearest rubbish bin and with it went her feelings for Ravi.

Teja Balaka saw the young woman standing in frontof the photo. She had been there some time looking at it, henoticed and was curious to know why. He recalled the dayhe had taken the photo. It was over a year ago, not long af-ter he had resumed his career as a photographer - cum- re-porter on his local paper after a tour of duty with the Terri-torial Army in Afganistan where he had been out lookingfor pictures to give some colour to a story for the paper whenhe had seen the girl running after a red umbrella and hadcaptured the incident on his camera.

His editor had not been that impressed, but Tejathought that it had possibilities and entered it in the monthlycompetition of his photographic club and he had won. Thechairman of the club suggested that he send it off to a na-tional photographic magazine. It had been accepted and af-ter that his career as a photographer took off. This exhibi-tion was the first of a series of his agent had arranged andwas successful, resulting in a number of commissions forhim.

❋

Sensing Teja's presence, Avani turned to face him. hesmiled at her.

'Do you like this one particularly?' he asked.'Yes,''What is it about it that interests you especially?''I am the girl chasing the umbrella.''Of course!' he recognised her now. 'Why did you ditch

the umbrella?'Avani gave a little sigh, 'It is a long story. A part of my

life gone with the wind - you could say.''I am a good listener,' Teja told her. 'Let me buy you a

cup of coffee and then you can tell me all about it,' he lookedat her, ' And I will tell you why this photo is special to metoo.

THE SYRIAN CONFLICTSrihitha Konreddy

At least once or twice a year since I've started secondary

school, I attend a conference called the Model United Na-tions. It's an event for school kids all around the globe tospend two days, debating pressing issues that the UN cur-rently face, and we come together to create our own resolu-tion papers. I can honestly say, the whole experience is over-whelmingly eye-opening.

Last Summer I attended a conference in the Interna-tional Maritime Organisation situated in Vauxhall, CentralLondon. The topic of my committee was The Syrian Con-flict. Beforehand, I had very little knowledge about it, butas I began researching, I was astounded by what I saw. Asmany of us know by now, the situation in Syria is inhumaneand barbaric. Around 220,000 people have died since 2011,and 11 million have been driven out of their homes due tothe civil war which started between the government whowant to stay in power, and the rebel groups who want free-dom from the government. Since then many groups such asthe Kurdish forces and ISIS have joined. The complexity ofthe situation is enormous.I was disappointed in myself forbeing oblivious to something so important.

At the conferences, everyone is assigned a country torepresent, and I got the United States of America. I was feel-ing extremely anxious because I knew I had a prominent roleto play within the debate. I was sat next to the delegate rep-resenting the United Kingdom, he was a year younger thanme, and he was incredibly tense, his fingers were shakingand he was nervously smiling at his chaotic notes in frontof him. The problem we both faced was that the countries

we were representing didn't align with our personal morals.We had to debate and make decisions based on what the USand the UK would do, not Srihitha and Charlie. We werecritically judged by delegates representing smaller nationsthroughout the conference, and to put it simply, it was a gru-elling two days which opened my eyes to the injustice andadversity that innocent civilians are facing every single day.

It is so effortless to read figures and statistics aboutdeath rates, displacement, and mass atrocities. We feel some-what mournful by it, but we can never truly empathise orunderstand the helplessness those people are feeling. Whatthe conference taught me was to be more aware and grate-ful for what I have. I tried to imagine myself in their posi-tion. I couldn't. To lose my family, my friends, my home, tolet go of my hopes and dreams, and everything that is dearto me is incomprehensible. Something that has been im-printed onto my mind is seeing a video on the news of a tod-dler shrieking for help to find her mother amidst a largecrowd of refugees. I have a younger sister around that ageand to even imagine her in that position frightens me. Welive in a hugely flawed world, and I suppose hope is the onlythings that guides us.

I left that conference feeling enlightened and aware ofthe world around me, I felt grateful to have the life that Ihave. And as I made my way back home, walking the alongthe tranquil River Thames, whilst the mesmerising Summersun was setting in the distance, behind the silhouette of thecity; the images and words I was exposed to, will stay withme for a very long time.

Srihitha Konreddy is studying in Class 11; Age: 16 years

Interview with

VIVEK BOYA

Hello Vivek, tell me about yourself.

Hello, I'm a 11 year old child from Ilford. I recently qualified for both top State Grammar schools such as QEBarnet, CSSE schools and Sutton schools and Independent schools (City of London, St Paul’s, Bancroft, For-est, HABS and Chigwell). I got 12th rank in Ilford County Grammar School, Redbridge.

Congratulations. How did you achieve that?

By dedicating time to 11plus and by working hard.

Any tips for future aspirants?

Have a time table and follow it religiously. Take guidance from parents and focus on strengths and weakness.Eventually you’ll start to improve and should be able to achieve seat in your preferred school. You can drop anemail to me if you need further information on 11plus at [email protected]

Is it hard to get seat in good Grammar school or Independent school?

No, not at all. Anyone can get a seat in Grammar school/s provided he/she works hard and follows guidancefrom teachers and parents. If you’ve time start as early as possible otherwise beginning of Year 5 should besufficient.

What do you do outside studies?

I participate in Swimming, Piano and other extracurricular activities. I also attend TAL Sunday classes to learnabout our culture and language. TAL is providing an excellent opportunity to know about our culture and lan-guage.

Sai Samanvita'sBBC PARTICIPATION

Reach Academy Feltham welcomed a survivor of the Srebrenica genocide to speak to pupils.The event was held to mark the 20th anniversary of the atrocity. Bosnian Muslim Hasan Hasanovi? walked 63 miles

across gruelling terrain to escape death at the hands of Bosnian Serbs in July 1995. He spoke to students at Reach - givingpupils the opportunity to learn about the genocide at first hand.

Reach Academy student Samanvitha Bhiraju said:"I was shocked when I heard Hasan's story, because it's really unfair to treat people differently just because of their

ethnicity. I'm so glad that Hasan came to talk to us. My class-mates and I are energised and thinking about what we can doto raise awareness about what happened at Srebrenica. And hopefully end genocide in the world and make it a better placeto live in."

Samanvitha had the opportunity to be the only pupil to represent her school and to accompany Hasan to BBC Radio4's Today programme and reflect on her experience with presenter John Humphreys along with a pupil from the only otherschool(Hampton Boys) selected to have this opportunity.

The circle of glistening light in the night skySays hello to shooting stars that pass byIt sparkles through the darknessand shines beyond your wild dreams

The beautiful moon will awaitNot morning or noonBut till dark to impress galaxies and all!

The MoonHarshita Chavali

The diamond of the skyEver twinkling up highNever ending light, it is to the world

The Queen of the sky will always be towering above us, But when the night comes to a haltThe Moon, with great joy says GOODBYE!
