Unforbidden _Part 2

Part 1

Rupi was scared but could not control herself from staring at him. How can someone be so good looking! Suddenly she got back to her senses and pointed at the wound on the man's foot. The man said he has to see a medicine-man to treat that. Rupi laughed at him and said that these are common wounds and she could cure it. She asked the man to wait and ran to the nearby bushes to get some medicinal herbs. She took his foot on her hands and pressed the leaves on the wound. The bleeding stopped in a few moments. The man looked at Rupi, surprised and with gratitude. He now got down from the horse, looked into her eyes and stroked his fingers over her cheeks, lovingly. His eyes sparkling with thankfulness behind his long lashes. Rupi got scared but could not move from there. She knew she was a very attractive woman and a lot of men had tried to approach her but she had rejected everyone. But there was something in this stranger's eyes that she could not ignore. She thought for the first time she saw gratitude in a man's eyes. Rupi's voice made her come back to her senses -she quickly moved away and looked at the man, scared. He smiled softly, got up on his horse and went away.

Both mother and daughter did not utter anything to anyone about that incident.


Prince Vedabrat was sitting on a marble bench of his garden. His left foot was still hurting but he felt much better after the tribal woman mended his foot. She seemed like a sorceress at that time- attractive and kind. He could not help stop thinking about her. He should have offered her a gift. That route was new to him but he wanted to go to those woods again. 

Rupi was a bit scared as she feared, talking and touching someone from the upper caste might bring in bad omen to them. But nothing happened. After a couple of days she went into the woods. Again she could hear a horse approaching. It stopped all of a sudden and she continued collecting leaves and logs. Suddenly someone pulled her from the back and turned her towards him. He saw that same man. She tried to run away but he pulled her closer to him. He opened the gold chain from his neck and put it around her neck. He planted a quick peck on her neck. She froze in fear, wanted to run but could not move. It was a magnetic pull she could feel towards him. 
"Who are you, stranger?" she asked. 
"I am Prince Vedabrat. Who are my dear?' "
"I am Rupi. I am untouchable."
Vedabrat laughed and embraced Rupi tightly, " How are you untouchable? See I am touching you."
Rupi was a bit shaky but still smiled at him.  He said in his deep voice, "We are friends from today and nothing will break our bond ever." 
They embraced each other, under the tree.

Top 5 Films Based on Communal/Civil Wars and Internal Feuds

A couple of days back I watched a film, only to get a headache and I forgot its name too. But still, I watched it, some people won't change. Will they? Like nations in continuous wars and internal feuds -God knows what they get out of it. War has not done good for anyone ever. While their purpose is best known to them, my purpose as a cinema lover is to create a list of films that cover topics of Communal/Civil war and internal feuds:   1. The Killing Fields: I had no idea about the history of Cambodia, till I watched this 1984 film, during my mid-twenties. A nation that was absolutely devastated as a result of the killing of thousands of its citizens under the bloodthirsty Khmer Rouge reign - Killing Fields covered this history through the pen of a New York Times journalist and his Cambodian associate. The movie is difficult to watch due to the depiction of the horrid nature of the brutality that innocent people had to go through. Pran, the Cambodian journalist had to endeav...

Mushy Mushrooms, Mini Macaroons & 5 Whodunnit Murder Mysteries to Watch on My Breakfast Plate

By

As the mother of a fourth-grade student, my mornings start at 5:30 a.m. daily. Making breakfast and setting up lunchboxes keep me occupied during those hours and since I like to keep it simple for breakfasts, they generally get quite boring, with either bread toasts or chapattis. (common story of a lot of moms). Sometimes our wishes can go to an extravaganza and the longing for a due break with a lavish breakfast consisting of some creamy- buttery mushy mushrooms sprinkled with roasted garlic, some berry-flavoured mini macaroons and to top it all a thrilling, chilling old-fashioned Whodunnit Murder Mystery Movie playing on TV just makes things perfect. Sounds like quite a plateful right? Since we have already made a grand plan of how my breakfast plate is going to look, let's narrow down the list of Murder Mystery movies that can be included in my watchlist. 1. Knives Out (2019): Imagine digging your fork into a plateful of yummy creamy mushrooms, tuning into Daniel...

5 Dumb Movies that are Secretly Clever

By

I have always avoided films like "Drunken Master" and other movies that begin and end with a fight. The same goes for mindless action films too. However, there are a few movies that I have watched that may seem incredibly foolish and dumb but if you manage to watch those you will realise they are quite clever. So, here is my list of 5 Dumb Movies that are Secretly Clever. 1. Tucker and Dale vs. Evil: When 2 worthless friends go for a vacation, their adventures turn into a disastrous misadventure and a massacre due to misunderstandings and unfortunate turn of events. This movie is gory, bloody and yet stupidly hilarious. The execution style is of a slapstick comedy with the chills and thrills of a gory slasher, making it a unique dark comedy. How some people's false assumptions about 2 people turn into a nightmare for both parties is the main story behind this goofy massacre. 2. One Cut of the Dead: In the beginning this film looks like a low-budget mindless zombie flick, ...
