About the Author

Krishna Marjarah

It was a quiet morning in the colony, kids still asleep, the grandpas sipping hot coffee and reading politics in newspaper, the moms figuring out what to cook for breakfast. Just then a cat purred and meowed and broke the silence in the alley. It was right beneath Spoorthi’s window and the sound woke her up.. What was it she wondered, she had not heard anything like this before. Spoorthi slowly crawled out of the bed, peered through the window. She was awestruck by the sight, it was small, shiny fur ball, black as the darkest coal curled up and looking at her with those green eyes. She always wanted a pet but her parents would not agree.

She told Spoorthi that the cat would be a mess and drink all her milk.

Spoorthi with a broken heart went to the school. After coming back from the school, she was playing hopscotch with her friends.

Sometimes he would cross the road and the people would stop and just curse him.. Oh its going to be a bad day this black cat came in my way !!! . Few did not mind him, it was as if Krishna didn’t exist for them.

Krishna was not troubling anyone, he would just move around, pick on
