The Mother's Soul
It was about 7:34 pm on a cold November night in 2018. Mukul was having dinner with his wife Pooja. Pooja had made his favourite dish chole bhature. Their three children, Anil, Vijaya and Kirti had gone to bed early. This year the weather was very cold for November in Kanpur, India. Pooja told Mukul, “Should we see a movie tonight, dear?” He replied, “No, thanks. Tonight I want to sit alone for a while and then I will come to sleep.” “That is ok. No problem at all. I will read my favourite novel tonight,” said Pooja. She gave Mukul a hug and then proceeded to their bedroom.
