Small Story 525.

Small Story 525 A Birthday Coincidence Vasanthy called her father, Krishnan, who had traveled to Florida in the United States to visit her brother. Her voice carried excitement and pride. “Appa, I have good news!” she began. She told him about her recent promotion at work—she had been elevated as Branch In-Charge at the publishing company where she worked. Along with her professional success, she shared something even closer to her heart. Being deeply interested in social issues and passionate about writing, she had just completed her latest novel. “It has exactly 525 pages!” she said happily. “And guess what? The company is interested in publishing it.” Krishnan put the call on speaker so his wife, Pankajam, could hear. Both of them were overjoyed. “Five hundred and twenty-five pages?” Pankajam asked with curiosity. “How did you arrive at that number?” Vasanthy laughed softly. “I don’t know, Amma. When I finished writing and checked the final draft, it came to 525 pages. I just feel lucky because my date of birth is on the 12th… and somehow this number feels special.” Pankajam smiled. “We don’t really believe in predictions or astrology, but such coincidences are always delightful.” Krishnan whispered proudly, “This is a great achievement, dear Vasanthy. We will surely return home in time for the book release. We want to be there beside you.” That day, happiness filled their hearts in every possible way. For Krishnan, Pankajam, and Vasanthy, it was not just about the number 525. It was about hard work, dreams coming true, and the joy of sharing success with family. Their happiness was truly unlimited. K.Ragavan 18-2-26
