There are many aspects to The Accident by Shree Janani. It is just a
12-page story. Without undermining the capabilities of writing skills of
the author, the story is short and abrupt. Obviously, in 12 pages it is
the best you could produce. It has love, intensity, suspense, thrill,
shock, grief, and paranormal. Definitely, there is an element of
curiosity that remains with you while passing through every page of the
story. And that remains until the end. But at the end, you would feel
something is missing. And probably, like me would try to join the dots.
But I could not. Maybe there is no point in finding out the gaps and
enjoy the story as it is. Of course, it gives you a shock. And makes you
think why and how even after finishing the story. That is the power of
writing.
The Accident is a story of Raghu, a billionaire
businessman. Raghu and his wife Rini were living a wonderful life
together. Having no child for 15 years despite a happy marriage was a
unanimous decision for whatsoever reasons. All of a sudden, after 15
years, it becomes a point of an argument. That argument triggers an
aggression and finally results in a disaster. Coincidently, a similar
kind of situation arises between another couple living in the same city.
And that leads to a double disaster. This is where the story takes
turns and changes Raghu's life altogether. The same thing happens with
Anusha, wife of Ashok. Anusha and Ashok is the other couple. If you
spread the story on a blank canvas, you will find many question marks
here and there.
I think the author is quite clear about those
question marks in mind. But maybe couldn't express them well in the
story. But that is just a beginning. There is a lot of scopes and a
better set of stories are in store for the future from the author. The
Accident is just a first step of a long journey of writing from this
promising author.
