The Other Side
Glimpse|July 2023
Life is a collection of myriad bitter-sweet events. Some leave us broken, some leave us bolden. Some teaches us how to be bold, some require us to turn bold. While some stories sit in a comfortable mould, there are some, which have to be told. Here are a few such stories and our take on them
The Other Side

A mother’s cry: The day Arvey Malhotra was born, his mother Arti Malhotra envisioned what his 18th birthday would look like. He would be a young man ready to take on the world. Raring to go with dreams in his eyes. She would plan a perfect birthday – friends, gifts, joy, laughter, celebrations! Little did this mother know then that few months before her son’s 16th birthday, she would be lighting his pyre. “Somewhere deep inside, we all know that our parents will perish in front of our eyes. And yet, when it happens it devastates us. Now think how prepared will a mother be to lose her son? I have not had the time to grieve…I have been busy fighting for justice for the last year & half!”

A man’s plea: Ankit Sharma fell in love with his college batchmate. After a period of live in, he married the love of his life. Things started to turn sour, but he thought it would get sorted. Eventually he was looking at a divorce. “The divorce did happen. I only got to mourn it after two long years. The battle for justice drained me of all emotions. It was then that I cried (yes, men cry too) but by then I did not know what exactly was I crying for. When did the battle for love turn into a legal battle, I did not even get to know. It’s another story that that trauma was so overbearing for my father that he suffered a heart attack. Even after that, the man stood with me like a rock!”

So, what happened in the stories above? Very diverse, yet very similar to each other. Here is what happened.
