Murder of 'Jeevant' | Story by Rishabh Shukla

 

Once upon a time, in a small town, there lived a highly esteemed doctor named Dr. Raghuvendra. He believed that the only worthy careers involved white coats, stethoscopes, and surgical masks. According to him, art was nothing more than a frivolous pastime that had no place in the realm of successful professions.

Dr. Raghuvendra had two children, a daughter named Maya and a son named Jeevant. Both Maya and Jeevant had a natural talent and an undying passion for art. However, their dreams were swiftly crushed under the crushing weight of their father's deplorable thinking. Driven by their father's pressure, they reluctantly joined medical school, leaving their artistic aspirations behind.

Years passed, and the consequences of Dr. Raghuvendra's actions slowly unraveled. Jeevant, burdened by the overwhelming expectations placed upon him, succumbed to the immense pressure and tragically took his own life. This was a wake-up call for Dr. Raghuvendra, who realized the depth of the damage his narrow-mindedness had caused.

His relationship with Maya also suffered greatly, as she held her father responsible for her brother's untimely demise. Fuelled by her brother's memory and the traumatic events that unfolded, Maya decided to break all ties with her father and embarked on a different path.

In memory of her late brother, Maya founded an art therapy institute called "Jeevant" to help people cope with stress and depression through the healing power of art. News of her institute spread far and wide, touching the lives of countless individuals who were desperately in need of solace.

Slowly, Dr. Raghuvendra began to realize the shortcomings of his own beliefs. He witnessed firsthand the transformative power of art as he watched people find solace and healing through Maya's institute. Deeply regretful and with a heavy heart, he reached out to Maya, hoping to reconcile and make amends.

With time, Maya forgave her father, understanding that his ignorance had caused immense pain but also recognizing his genuine remorse. Dr. Raghuvendra, now a genuinely changed man, became an advocate for the arts. He dedicated himself to spreading awareness about the importance of art therapy and supporting initiatives that integrated creativity into various aspects of life.

And so, in the end, the tale of Dr. Raghuvendra and his children served as a reminder of the importance of supporting one's passion, nurturing creativity, and embracing art not just as a pastime, but as a powerful tool for healing and self-expression.

The moral of the story? Don't dismiss art as a mere pastime. It holds the potential to save lives, heal wounds, and ignite spirits in ways that no other field can.
