जब मैंने पहली बार स्पेस नीडल को देखा

किसी का बीस साल पुराना सपना पूरा हुआ — An English translation can be found here. “क्या तुम जानते हो कि सीऐटल शहर में स्पेस नीडल नामक है? एक दिन मैं वहाँ जाऊँगा और स्पेस नीडल को देखूँगा।” वह उसके मुख से निकली आख़री बात थी जो मैंने सुनी थी। अगले दिन मैं अपने परिवार के साथ दूसरे शहर चला गया। पापा का फिर से ट्रांसफर हो गया था। बीस साल बाद मैं उसके सपने को पूरा करने के लिए सीऐटल मैं था। ऐसा नहीं है की वो अपना सपना पूरा करने के लिए खुद काबिल नहीं था। वह खुद यह करता यदि उसने ड्यूटी के दौरान खुद को शहीद नहीं किया होता।

When I Jumped Off the Train in Middle of the Night

And how I made it back home — As it began gaining momentum, I stopped banging its closed doors, let the handlebars go, and jumped off the footsteps of the moving train. Thump…. My left foot met the platform. Thump…. My right foot met the platform, and I started running along the train to save myself some fractured…
