Train Encounter Chapter-6 "What!! He's on the Radio!!" Shalini went back home and helped herself with some food. She was really starving! Then she sneaked into her room & closed the door behind her. She switched off all the lights and sat down at her favourite place, laying her back against the cupboard. She used this place as her very own place in this vast universe. A place where she could think about anything and everything. A place where she was really free to do whatever she wanted. Shalini thought about all those times when she used to settle there in between her board exam studies for sometimes, to ponder about her day so far in general & life ahead in particular. Shalini recalled how she had sat there for hours talking with Arun, who on the other side kept on insisting that the talk is getting too long. He was ignorent of the fact that Simple chats over phone are more romantic than long strolls in silent streets. Arun was always this 'Silent Lover'

Train Encounter Chapter-5 "Mischief, Mayhem,Someone" Strolling on the platform, Shalini was again sucked back into her memories.... nearing june, one day Shalini was sitting in her room, doing the project-work which was given by the instructer of the computer coaching she enrolled a few weeks ago... She was supposed to work on some online pictures which were in her folder. Shalini was very poor at modifying pictures & usually took a hell lot of time in morphing them. But today was her lucky day, she was carefully doing her job when just like a bolt from the blue, a window popped up saying..."MISCHIEF" and before Shalini could react to something, she saw her whole project work was getting disfigured!! Shalini tried to correct it but it was too late. Someone was controlling the workspace from outside, "but how was it possible!?" Shalini thought. Just then another window popped in front of her eyes saying..."MAYHEM" and Shalini saw her whole fol

Train Encounter Chapter-4 "Down Memory Lane" Shalini had never thought that someone would ever propose her!! Well she thought that she was just another normal school going girl, with no interests in other worldly affairs. But her confution went wrong when a boy named Arun asked her if she wanted to be his Valentine... Days had past since then and their reletionship had also matured alon the way... After Arun completed his 12th std, he went to Pune to pusue his career in Medicine, Things were a little painful for Shalini. She was suddenly too lonely. Although Arun called her often but Shalini thought that his voice was becoming colder still, she felt herself drifting away from Arun. Shalini Remembered every bit of the conversation that went on the last time when Arun called her a few days ago... "Hello Shalini??" "Arun!!" "Yes its me, well... H...How are You?" "well I am fine, what about You?" "Hmm..... Just stressed out.. Too much

Train Encounter Chapter-3 "And They Started Talking" "What was that?" "The Truth, Shalini. Wasn't it the thing you wanted to hear?" "Now Look, I am not used to talking with boys and..." "There you are!! Well I dont blame you. Its hard for almost anybody to start talking to someone so freely onthe first day of meeting, and still you cant see my point of calling you??" the voice on the other side had a sparkle in it. "I...I couldn't get you!!" "Lets take it this way, You board into a train, get your seat & start , doing nothing!! Although you can see lots of people around you for you to socialize but how could you?? Will it not create a bad impression to start at once?? So you waste a lot amount of time in just creating your ground before you actually start speaking!!" "And..." "And I hate waiting!! So on a welcome note, if we perform all the formalities now, then we can be going great when w

Train Encounter Chapter 2 "A Month n a half ago.." It all started when Shalini answered the 1st of its kind phone call about a month and a half ago. It was just like any other call from an unknown no. untill she answered to the deep groovy voice on the other side of the reciever... "Hello!" "Hello Shalini!! I wont blame your anxiousness to know who I am. But trust me, I promise You not to let You know about it till we meet." "Who are You?" "Well There You go!! But as I said, thats a mystery. For now I can only let You know that I am a person who want to gain aquintance with You." "What the...Where did You get my no.?" "Why? Isnt it posted on each and every mail accounts, and fourums and clubs you go...NOt to mention about the library!! Is it really hard to get your no.?" For a moment Shalini felt a surge of anger rising from within, she felt like dropping the call at once. But she didn't, there was a strange myst

Train Encounter Chapter-1 "The Train Station" "May I have Your Attention Please, 2859 Howrah-Mumbai Geetanjali Express, Which was expected to come at 17:16 hrs is Running late by 50 mins." Shalini was waiting eagerly for the train to come. Sitting on an empty bench on the platform of Tatanagar, she could barely wait!! After travelling such a long distance from Asansol & waiting for more than 3 hrs, she was just on her edge of nerves. "Maybe there's some problem with the signal" said her dad in a reassuring tone, "They have a single line problem every now and then." Shalini was not interested in these things. She was in fact looking forward towads her admission in K.P.B. Hinduja College of Commerce. After her successful result in class 12 board exam she was very happy when she found herself in one of the colleges in Mumbai after councelling. Though that would mean that Mr.sharma has to pour in some extra money. "Ring-Ring" Her ce
