In this episode, I present FALLS, a short story by Geeetha Nair G. It is about a romance that happened many years ago. Still, a chance encounter brought back memories of what looked real at one time, but underneath, it was a show rather than a commitment. We calculate how our future will play out, but the arc of life is unpredictable. All our plans and schemes can unravel as time marches forward. The story is drawn from the Punch Magazine Anthology of New Writing by the Woman Writers and is presented here with the permission of Shireen Quadri, Anthology’s editor. Geetha Nair G is a retired professor of English from Kerala. She has authored numerous short stories and poems and won the Rabindranath Tagore Poetry competition in 2019.
