FF- Musings of a Rebel(Chapter 2 Upd Pg5-Karna's Story) - Page 2

He was short of breath ... His heart beat losing out each second..

While lying on road with a bullet hit just right beside his heart... Karan realised that there is not much time left for him.. A smile crept on his lips inspite of excruciating pain somewhere inside... he was finally at peace... In those few moments left ..he felt like going back in time... going back to that small village few miles away from City of Delhi where it all began... How he always used to find peace in his Radha Ma's lap after a tiring day at work..

Karan was like any other regular boy who to support his family started earning from a very young age. His first dream was crushed when his father told him that they don't have money to send him to school for higher education.He was really intelligent and one of the toppers of his class. Everyone in his school used to tell his father that you really have a bright child, he should go to college in Delhi. But his father could just hold back tears and tell them don't give him those dreams which can never be reality... Karan though realized this reality pretty soon as He himself decided to drop out and help his father in supporting a family of 6- An old grandfather, his parents and two little brothers.

He used to work at a licensed shop where small pistols and rifles were made. These were supplied to Defence dealers and also some private security companies. His passion with shooting took a birth there only but he was still miles away from realising the same.His manager had recently started business of making expensive air rifles and Karan had soon gained specialisation in that.

One day his manager asked him to deliver an urgent order in India's famous shooting academy where all rich and well known used to play this as a sport or just as a passtime. Yes indeed it was expensive passtime he could never imagine anyone taking this as a hobby. As he arrived in what seemed like a huge arena , he was spellbound by sheer size of the auditorium. He saw few shooters aiming at a target so far away as they concentrated on their aim.

For a little while he was lost in the play going around him , as one by one shooters had displayed their excellence. A Senior member of Team holding the practice sessions spotted this young boy curiously looking at shooter who was aiming at a distance.. Karan was so sure that this shooter will miss his target as his hands were not there where it should be and his disappointment was quite visible on his face. As shooter missed his target, He accidently said I knew it.. Surprised by his casual utterance, onlookers and shooter himself looked at this youngster dressed in ragged clothes standing amidst them .

Shooter looked at him and mockingly said "Stay within your limits lad.. this is not a child's play.."

Was it confidence that day or perhaps he followed his heart... but he picked one rifle from the lot he brought and shot at target from a distance even miles far from where shooter was standing... stunning everyone around..

Indeed Target was hit...

That day was just a beginning... A beginning of a dream... which soon took him to an unseen and unimagined path where he became to be known as a Sharp Shooter Karan Bhai...one who never missed his target...
