In my harbor there were two ships,
One weathered and steady, a companion through storms,
The other bright and new, bringing promises of distant shores.

Each vessel cast its own anchor,
Their chains crossing beneath
the surface,
Creating invisible tensions in
the murky depths.

Never annoyed, never tired.
More than fifty, I've lost count,
But they don't look, or maybe they do,
And just ignore me.

Shankar, the peon at the government high school, was a familiar face to everyone. Though his official work involved cleaning and running errands, he practically lived at the school. That's where he and his wife Lakshmi resided, in a small, basic room on the premises. Despite their humble circumstances, they had a treasure - their son Vivek.

It was two in the morning. I was sitting in my hostel room, eyes glued to my laptop screen, watching episode after episode of my favorite show. Suddenly, I heard a knock on my door.
