At times they thought he was a booby who deserved to be in a booby-hatch. I mean for real the things he put them through only a crazy person would. From stealing to bullying you name it Stan had done it. One time Stacy came home for mid-term to an empty house which was pretty unusual. She was used to getting the royal treatment from her mother and now there she was stuck in a house with an empty fridge wondering if they had gotten the letter she sent telling them of her arrival. Those were the simpler times before mobiles became the in thing so all she could do was wait in anticipation for them to come home.
At around 7p.m there was a knock on the door, Stacy ran excitedly to open it thinking to herself at last! Maybe they had a surprise for her that’s why they’d gone out all day. When she opened the door and saw Stan standing there her heart sunk. He pushed past her ignoring her horrified expression and headed straight to the bathroom.
“Wha…what hhapened?” Stacy stammered her heart racing.
“As usual this stupid idiot can’t stay out of trouble, he’ll be the death of me!” her mother exclaimed following him inside. Stacy spent the night administering first aid on him, washing blood off his clothes and trying to get the story out of him. He wouldn’t budge even when she cajoled him to tell her what happened. She begged and pleaded, nothing doing.
In the end after he’d fallen asleep she went to her mum’s room to get the full story.
“Socks! Socks!”
“Mum calm down, what about socks?”
“That’s what he was stealing. Of all the bloody things and I give him everything here! He doesn’t want to go to school, I give him pocket money, he’s got a roof over his head, he’s got food on the table, clothes on his back and now he disgraces me like this. God if this is how my own children will treat me then just take me right now!” she finished looking up into the ceiling with tears rolling down her eyes.
“Mum please don’t talk like that, please” Stacy cried out tears trickling down her eyes too, “Tell me what happened,” she hated seeing her mum cry.
Apparently Stan had been stealing again. He’d moved up from stealing from his own family to going to steal in other estates. Now Stacy wished he would just stick to stealing from them. She wouldn’t mind that since they’d already adapted to it. No one left any money lying around anymore. Everyone locked up their rooms when they left the house and he was never left alone in a room. At first it used to be uncomfortable, I mean c’mon you just don’t silently make it known to someone you supposedly care about that he’s a thief with a straight face. It gets pretty awkward but when you think about the time he stole the sitting room carpet and denied it to death even though the watchman was a witness thinking he had a good reason for leaving the house with the carpet; or that time when he stole the head set for the house landline. Stacy silently thanked him for it because it got her back her freedom. Having that phone in the house was like having a tracking device; her mother would call randomly during the day just to make sure she was in the house. She wasn’t thanking him when he started selling her text books and novels to the local bookshop though. She even fought with the owner of the bookshop threatening to call the authorities on him for buying and selling stolen goods.
“Can’t you even see the books have my name on them?”
“This is a business, I bought those books now if you’re not buying them leave my shop”
She had to buy back her own books.
Now she looked at her mother forlornly feeling sorry for her, she was the most affected by his evil ways.
“What about all the blood?” Stacy asked quietly
“I got a call at the office that Stan was being beaten up by a mob justice about to burn him to death!”
“Oh my God!” Stacy exclaimed covering her mouth, “I can’t believe it’s come to this,”
“Let him die!” her mother cried out bitterly, “I’ll mourn him and forget him!”
“Don’t talk like that you know you don’t mean that,”
“I do! Stacy I’m tired of this stupid boy’s problems. He’s caused a rift in my marriage, given me ulcers and a high blood pressure and every time I walk on the street I have people accosting me because of him telling me what he owes them and now he’s involving me with the police? What am I, some slave always cleaning up after his mess?”
“The police?” Stacy asked incredulously
“When I got to the scene, thank God for mama Rosy she’s the one who recognized him and stopped them from killing him telling them she knows his family, I found the police had already taken him in. Stacy there was a tire already there and a bottle of kerosene ready to burn him to death,” She paused swallowing hard as if just saying that made her hurt some more, “I rushed to the police station and had to cough up 20,000 shillings as bond, please don’t tell your father.”
“Wow, all that for stealing socks? Wasn’t that extreme? ” Stacy asked incredulously
“Apparently that wasn’t the first time he’d gone there. The watchman had marked his face from a previous time when he’d gone to the same house and stolen a radio.”
As the years went by Stacy couldn’t believe when Stan kept getting caught stealing again and again breaking all the promises he made about turning his life around; her mother furiously bailing him out over and over again. One time Stacy got so mad she forbade her mother from bailing him out saying it’s time they got out of that vicious cycle full of lies. They both agreed they’d let the world teach him a lesson.
One week later Stacy came home to find him having lunch comfortably watching T.V. Her mother couldn’t look her in the eye that day, she felt angry because in her eyes he was taking advantage of her mother’s good heart. They were back to hiding things and living on the edge waiting for the next disaster to strike.
Along came Molly and everything seemed to change for the better. He quit smoking because of Molly, started thinking about settling down and somehow Stacy believed him.
“Are you serious about her?” Stacy asked Stan with a smile on her face as they were having lunch at Java. She had decided to take him out for a treat when he’d called her to tell her he wanted to talk to her. Stacy had moved out of their home and was now living on her own visiting them occasionally.
“I swear I love her and I wanna marry her in August. She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me,”
“Oh my! I can’t believe my big bro is in-love,” Stacy giggled, “I never thought I’d see the day. First of all tell me how she got you to stop smoking when we’d tried and given up for years,”
“We were just walking the first day I met her, I was having my usual puff then she casually said she wished I would quit smoking I just threw down the cigarette and I’ve never smoked since,” Stan said with a big grin on his face.
They kept on talking and when the bill came Stacy put 1,500 shillings on the table and told Stan they could go.
“What about your change?” he asked
“What change?”
“What! Your joking that meal cost all that?”
“Maybe you should bring Molly here and impress her,”
“There’s this time we were having lunch with her then when we finished I told her with this serious face I didn’t have any money so I’d leave first then she follows after,” Stan laughed heartily, “You should have seen the look on her face she looked so innocent telling me ‘really, ok start going I’m behind you’ I cracked up”
“Awww that’s so sweet! I wanna meet her officially,” Stacy’s heart was already warming to Molly even without having met her.
Weeks later their aunt visited from Canada bringing them all clothes as presents, Stacy delayed going home to get her stuff and when she finally went Stan had already given out all her new clothes to Molly.

It had been 30 years since the trail was first constructed. In the village students begged for food, cooked and ate with the villagers.

Out of 1200 tested people only one is positive says SPYM an NGO working in the field of HIV and AIDS Awareness. This test was carried on the Homosexuals and female sexworkers. This statistical data is an eye opening for the people making a hue and cry about this issue.
Genuinely speaking, Issues like HIV, global warming, Human rights, environmental issue etc. should not be of much concern in a country like India.
This is a hype created by the west as these issues have got their origin from the west. Mobile (lubricant) industries are considered to be the most polluting industry and America is one of the highest producers of Mobile. U.S also has largest number of Automobile industry in the world.
These polluting countries are the main contributors for the global warming. But in a country like in India we really have got other issues to think of. West blames India and China for the global food crisis but if we really look deep into it the reason is just opposite to it. One of the biggest reasons of Food crisis is the production of cattle food in the agricultural land. The area in which they produce cattle food for getting one kilograms of meat that can produce three kilograms of grains which can be used for human beings.
India a country where we are still struggling for the basic needs of the people, talking about such issues (global warming, human rights, etc.) seems to be a foolish nonsense. According to planning commission of India 25% people of our country still lives below poverty line and according to new reports of World Bank more than 61% of Indian population still lives below the poverty line.
This is the high time for our country to set up its priorities, to choose between HIV and Starvation between Global warming or education and poverty. In fact nothing can be achieved till the population of any country is empty stomached and illiterate.
