Setting 1- #Renaissance

From @samikshaadukia

Pick up the pen

‘Read… Respect…Write’- that’s how it even happened to me.

I transformed from someone pushed into reading to someone admiring the power of words.  Then came writing as a natural desire for role change.  For me, it has been the most beautiful way to express and the magic wand to know yourself better. 

I somewhere lost track of this side of me. Renaissance- ‘sounds’ like a good time to get back now.

From @rumna

He’d given up his beloved work and taken up accounting instead. He now paid taxes, even a mortgage. Till she fell in love with another and left him.

As he walked away from his ex-father in law’s house, his gaze lingered on the priceless paintings on the walls. Perhaps this was a blessing in disguise. He could go back to his first love after all. A world class art thief, this would be his renaissance.

From @NidhiGarimaGoyal

Senior reporter Naina entered the hospital with survivors of the bustragedy. Faces were somber, but one smile stood out. She approached that man. His legs were amputated. He cheerfully said, “I am happy forthis rebirth. I have got a second chance to live, and learn things all over again.” And then she knew that it was not fate but a man’s strength which decided who he will be!

From @Shraddha_G

They torched his small hut, family, took away his left leg & his wealth of 50-odd books in the 1992-93 riots.
With his salad days gone, being molested by male night-schoolmates, he struggled to earn his daily bread by polishing shoes during the day.
He schooled himself at the free local library near the corner street till he became a full-time Library Assistant.
Oh world..! This local Library nurtured a Literary Giant of the century...

Joel glanced at the pretty girl sitting ahead of him. He could smell her lemony hair. She was least concerned if he even existed that moment; his impossible girlfriend ignored him.

Wow, the beautiful sunlight outside the window. The fresh breeze.

He scratched the surface; then his head. Magic does not happen.

Mr. Pai looked at him disapprovingly. “Nonsense, complete your history paper boy; last short note and only 5 minutes to go.”

From @ShraddhaMoghe

She started stalking him after that book. After this introduction, she had taken matters in her own hands. She had to know more. His mysteriousness.

He is brilliant. His art; science; so focused and ahead of his time. They both are non conformist. He changed everything. She is here because of him. Ain’t she?

She is now in airplane for Italy to meet him. Da vinci. The art. The man. World’s renaissance and her own.

From @crazyandhow

Divorced and jobless, he was suffering from mid life crisis.

He is forced to take a temporary assignment to teach these soldiers. English; OMG!

They must have last read in grade 1.

Shakespeare helped him. Hamlet was his best friend who caught their interest.

The duffers were soon competing; winning. They saluted Bill in their Army parade.

This will be the story of upcoming movie - Renaissance Man; Victor, What say?
