《As told by Tulasi》Real stories
Advertisement
As you all know that Tulasi's story was an inspiration from something that happened to a friend of my friend, I am here to give an overview of what exactly happened.
So, that girl had an arranged marriage which was setup in a month and was taken away to a different city by her husband. He was a nice man who loved her dearly and took care of her. But once he got a call from his mother that the land which was given as dowry was lost, he dropped his wife back at her house.
In the months her parents tried to gather the money they demanded, she didn't receive a single call from her husband. It was only after the girl's family said they found a means to get the money did he come to her house to see her(On his mother's words).
A similar thing happened in their relatives' family too. The guy left the girl at her house but he didn't shy away from using his privileges as a husband(if you know what I mean). The girl who is uneducated has a daughter now and it's almost two years but she is still at her parents house and her husband still comes to meet her there.
Coming to Parvathi's daughter Kalyani, I don't remember where I heard it but it did happen. In fact, it happened to lot of people.
It's extremely sad that things like this happen and we can do nothing about it. Like literally, nothing. We live among people who don't know what humanity is; and it's a shame.
On August 15th, we proudly change our statuses in FB and WhatsApp as 'Proud to be Indian'. I don't exactly understand what's there to be proud of? Corruption or things like this happening even in the 21st Century and that there's absolutely nothing we can do about it.
Sorry for the long rant. Just upset hearing a lot of similar things happening to the people I care.

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
