The Man Who Refused to Decide
Arjun’s biggest decision in his life isn’t choosing a path, but deciding whether to act at all. A budding writer like him, seeking to become someone important, is filled with doubts and worries, and sooner rather than later, he realises the uncomfortable truth that his greatest obstacle isn’t failure, but his hesitation. Through loneliness, fleeting success, and an unlikely friendship, he begins to understand what it takes and earns clarity.

రెండేళ్ల అనుభవం ఉన్న జర్నలిస్ట్ వేదకు, తన ఎడిటర్ నుంచి ఒక సాధారణ అసైన్మెంట్ వస్తుంది. తీరంలో నాట్యం చేసే ఓ అమ్మాయి కథను కవర్ చేయమని. అది మరో ‘పఫ్ పీస్’ అనుకొని వెళ్లిన వేద, ఆ నర్తకిని కలిసిన తర్వాత ఆమె ముందుగా ఊహించినదానికంటే ఆ అమ్మాయిలో అపారమైన ప్రతిభ, లోతైన కథ ఉందని గ్రహిస్తుంది. క్షణకాలం వేద నిజాన్ని రాయాలనుకుంటుంది… కానీ ఆ నిజం అందరికీ నచ్చేది కాదని, అసలు అమ్ముడే పోదని గ్రహించి వెనక్కి తగ్గిపోతుంది. ఇంతకీ ఆ నిజం ఏంటి?

కర్రి
అపర్ణ రంగు మూలంగా ఎన్నో వివక్షలకు గురైంది. గుసగుసలు, వెక్కిరింపులు, “ఎలా తెల్లగా అవ్వాలి” అన్న ఉచిత సలహాలు, తక్కువ చేసి మాట్లాడే తోటి వారు, అన్నింటిని తాను సహించింది. “సమాజం ఇలాగే ఉంటుంది” అని సర్దుకుపోయింది. కానీ ఒక రోజు… పరులు మాత్రమే కాదు, తనకు అత్యంత చేరువైన వారు కూడా అదే దృష్టితో ఉన్నారని తెలిసినప్పుడు, అపర్ణ ఎలా స్పందించింది? ఆ సంఘటనని తను ఏ రకంగా స్వీకరించింది?

The Silent Tear
We live in times that worship women as deities, honour them, personify our motherland as one and then commit unspeakable atrocities against countless of them. We have heard their cries and swallowed their pain, but how much of it must we feel before we address these rotten acts in our society?
