CURSED: A SHORT NOVEL

by Satish Sharma

In December 2017 on completion of Direction course with Australia Film Base company, a short film was planned and this was the script written for it. While casting, I come across a University student, lead role offered to her. She rejected the story outrightly saying, it is conceptually as well as morally wrong. How come a married Professor in his 30s and have children, can indulge with his student. She strongly asked to change it, may be some other man, not Professor - Student affair. And I rejected the idea of the film, because changing it means to change the theme, which would be highly unethical for compromise on the spirit of Passion in Man and insatiable desire to pursuit of happiness. The story was lying in some folder since then until I sent it to a FB friend Narendra from Hyderabad in November 2020 and he found it very interesting & appealing. So, I thought to give it a try for getting it published.
