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 we actually meet!!"

Shalini Had a smile in her lips(a silent one although). She was kind of impressed by the way the voice showed confidance.

"Hello!! are You still there??"

Shalini sprang back to life to realize that she was still standind on the platform holding the cellphone to her ears.

"Look!! My Dad is here. And I dont want You To..."

"What did I promised you... Shalini? I wont meet you unless the train gets started..."

"Well isnt it all wierd? I am still thinking why am I talking to you?"

"There are a lot of things that happens which we dont understand.. so ... Dont think too much."

But Shalini was again down her memory lane by then...

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...
