Train Encounter(Chap-1)


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 cellphone jingled in her hands, "Who could it be?" she thought as she saw an unknown no. flashing on the screen.
"Hello!!"
"Hi Shalini! Remember me?" Replied the voice over the phone.
Suddenly a chill swept Shalini from top to bottom of her body.
"What are You doing here?" She hushed back to the reciever.
"Hadn't I told You that I'll Be with You wherever You go?" said the voice.
She just strolled away a few steps ahead of her dad just to ensure that they're not being overheard.
"This is not a joke anymore!! I can't believe this, You are here? now what is this? What do you want?" There was a bit of resent in her voice.
"It never was a joke Shalini.Not the day I 1st called You up, Not now..." said the voice.

Close Apart (Chapter-32)

Close Apart Chapter-32 “Shopping Day” Amrita took Komal for her wedding day shopping! Komal tried a lot to dodge Amrita but then she was not so resourceful when it came to denying someone. “Look, all my life I’ve been either studying or working, actually I didn’t get real time to dress-up or to party around. So I am what you’ll call a fashion disaster” confessed Amrita. “Don’t worry! I’ll Help You out! You won’t be a fashion disaster on your wedding day.” Komal smiled and replied. After sometime, Amrita was lining up in front of the trial room while holding few dazzling dresses. “I know the decision was a bit hasty, but after so many days without him, I don’t have the patience of staying away anymore! I know, you must be thinking that getting married in a registrar’s office is such a boring thing to do, but for me the companionship is much more important than a fancy wedding! And even Aditya seems to be quite supportive about this.” Amrita finished as she went in one of the trial room...

Close Apart (Chapter-2)

Close Apart Chapter – 2 “They meet…” “British Council, 5:00 pm, Hmm” The reason Aditya was thinking so much that day, because meeting Amrita at 5’o clock would mean that he would have to leave his office half an hour ago than his usual time. And that would mean that he’ll have to take this matter to his manager’s concern. “At 5:00!! What for? “ “Actually I have an appointment… with my… Dentist.” God knows why Dentists get involved in these appointments!! So, there he was! Out of his office, half an hour earlier than usual.Aditya was feeling a little uneasy. Actually he was never comfortable with girls. An issue which was of a major concern for his fellow colleagues. Many a times his friends have arranged blind dates for him, but all in vain!! But this time it is little different. Anyone who had known Aditya would have gone through a major shock viewing him talk to a girl, but Aditya knew he had a header here. Actually, Amrita was in the same class, in which Aditya used to study… “So yo...

The Way Beyond (Prologue)

I woke up!  It was dark, tried opening  my eyes, didn't do much help. As if I was inside a void with only darkness around me .  I opened my eyes and the darkness flooded in! I tried remembering where I was, tried remembering something that  could explain why I am here, all in vain. My head hurt and I couldn't recall  anything. It felt like the time has collapsed on itself and now there is nothing else, well except for this dark void.  They say your lizard brain wakes up in these situations. From the depths of your consciousness, and attempts to guide your instincts to safety. I see something now! Maybe my eyes have finally adjusted themselves to this darkness. Something familiar comes into my vision, laying in front of me. A leather spined book on top of a towel, an old leather bound book. I looked around, I was sitting in the shade of a tree. Can you still call it a shade when there is nothing but darkness around? Like if a tree falls in...
