GUL
It is a very well known fact that violence is one of the harsh factor in the society which has no religion or language. Violence as we all know erodes the basic pillars of humanity. It is also the main reason for leaving the children as orphans and helpless resulting in their trauma. As such they lose the carefree innocence that is their birthright. The haunting demons of memory wreak frightful vengeance on their frail psyche. They are trapped in the frightened whirlpool, which gives them the utter pain.
This story revolves around the emotional bond between two central characters. Boy names ‘Gul’ who is victim of the senseless violence and women who is a writer by profession. It is a story about the emotional distress of numerous children like Gul who have become the victims. The story takes turn when a lady writer arrives in his village. The lady is kind to Gul and Gul also takes a liking for her. He sees the image of his mother in her and has vision that it is his mother who is showering her love on him.
