Life takes an unexpected twist when I, an employee of a major multinational company, get transferred to a remote village called “V U the Sun”. This enigmatic place, seemingly untouched by modernity, holds secrets waiting to be uncovered. Locals believe the village’s name means “Village Unknown and the Stories Untold”, but its true significance remains a mystery.
Confined to an isolated office, my only connection to the outside world is the Kiosk Owner and frequent calls from my Boss through a unique landline. To escape boredom, I begin observing the village’s daily life from my window. One day, I encounter an Engineer from the same company at the kiosk. Fascinated by a story told by a Sage, he chose to stay in the village, awaiting the Sage’s return. Intrigued, I strike up a friendship with him, and he shares the tale.
The story centers on a city called Sun, surrounded by five envious cities atop mountaintops, always locked in plotting against it. A river named Miss Chatting flows through these cities, and its “Water Droplets” humorously discuss and critique the unfolding events, offering profound reflections on life.
“V U the Sun” masterfully blends poetry, wisdom, humor and reflection. Each poem invites readers to explore the themes of isolation, curiosity and the profound insights found in unexpected places.
