Tiny Love Stories: ‘Let Joy Back In'
A Blue Stone for My Desolate World Typhoid imprisoned me — 6 years old, aching, silently watching the ceiling at home in Ambala, India. My cot moved to the veranda every evening; I watched the world play without me. Loneliness settled like dust. One dusk, my friend Madhu's mother arrived like a breeze. She spoke in stories, then slipped a ring onto my finger: rolled gold, with a sea-blue stone. 'For the princess,' she said. It shimmered like a spell. I whispered to it, held it up to show the sun. It became my secret friend, my talisman. That small circle of beauty let joy back in. — Viney Kirpal The Love He Could Give I moved from the city to a small town for work — single, uncertain, joking to friends that I was David Rose from 'Schitt's Creek.' Then I met him. Though he'd just left a 16-year-long relationship, he made me feel chosen. One sunny morning, as I reached for my shoes, he called. 'I'm coming over,' he said. Minutes later, he arrived — leather jacket, wet curls, steady brown eyes — holding a vase of tulips, ruscus, wild veronica. He'd arranged them himself. He kissed me softly, then whispered, 'Have a beautiful day, papi chulo.' The flowers stayed. A week later, he didn't. — Mayank Chugh 'I Know She Was Difficult' After the call, I was awash with relief. My troubled, depressed mother, just deceased, would never again brand Dad an idiot, an ignoramus, an imbecile. He had selflessly cared for her during her many declining years. Kind Dad could finally find a woman who appreciated him, I thought. 'I still miss your mum,' he told me years later. 'I know she was difficult, but I choose to remember the good times.' Tall, handsome Dad, the most eligible man in the care home to which he eventually moved, never showed the slightest interest in the possibility of a new romantic relationship. — Tony Elston With a Little Help From Our Friend Each year, in Berlin, a friend invited my now-husband, Andreas, and me to her birthday party. We never met there. But one day, he asked her to bring a friend to a party. She chose me: 'He is just your type.' A grunge musician with long blonde hair, he was indeed. After becoming a couple, we discovered that neither of us had ever liked our friend's birthday parties. I had always come early to leave early. He had always arrived as late as possible. No chance to meet there. Still, it's our friend's gift that we met at all. — Isolde Peter See more Tiny Love Stories at Submit yours at Want more from Modern Love?

Sensex, Nifty today: Inflation drops, but will stock markets rise?
Sensex and Nifty are expected to open slightly higher on Tuesday, July 15, supported by a sharp fall in domestic inflation and positive signals from other Asian Gift Nifty futures were trading at 25,166 points around 8:22 am, suggesting a possible higher start for the Nifty50 index, which closed at 25,082.3 on Monday. This points to cautious optimism on Dalal Street after four straight sessions of inflation eased sharply to 2.10% in June, touching a six-year low. This is the fifth month in a row that inflation has stayed below the Reserve Bank of India's target of 4%, and well within its upper tolerance band of 6%. The drop in inflation has raised expectations of more interest rate cuts in the coming months, which could support economic growth and boost market Ambala, Sebi Registered Research Analyst and Co-Founder of Stock Market Today, said, 'The quarterly results and ongoing tariff issues are the main trigger points for the broader market. Many sectors will have a mid-term impact on margins and growth.'She mentioned that the market is currently in a pullback zone and expects Nifty to trade between 25,400 and 24,700 this week.'Hereon, I suggest adopting a sell-on-the-rise strategy until the Nifty index reaches its major immediate support at 24,700. At this point, investors should evaluate and focus on the quality of midcaps, monopoly, or duopoly stocks,' she also expects Nifty to gather support between 24,930 and 24,850 and face resistance near 25,060 and 25,170 in today's trading the broader global markets, MSCI's index for Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.5%, mainly driven by gains in Hong Kong. However, worries over trade tensions remained in the background. Meanwhile, bond yields in Japan and the U.S. moved higher, which could limit the gains in emerging markets like India. Higher bond yields often lead foreign investors to shift money away from Monday, Sensex and Nifty both ended lower, marking their fourth straight day of decline. IT stocks were among the worst hit, along with concerns over new global inflation cooling, investors and analysts will be keeping a close eye on the upcoming earnings season and global developments.
