He had not touched a musical instrument in last five years. But the music had never deserted him.
Sometimes he wondered that it was idiotic of him not to accept their proposal; they would have made him rich. He had to just tinker with his compositions. But he was fiercely passionate about his music; he had declined.
‘What a harebrained person I am?’
He was walking past the restaurant in a lackadaisical manner when he heard the sounds. Someone was playing his composition; a composition that he would not tinker with.
He felt sad for the composition; it had been mutilated.

  2. Somehow this reminds me of seeing my own writing plagiarized. Nicely done.

  4. This is a great and so real to life story. It reminds me a lot about plagiarism at blogging levels too.

  5. Pride of a purist. A purist can hardly compromise. Only a mediocre can.
