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...

Train Encounter Chapter-10 Epilogue "Truth is stranger than fiction" I've heard this many a times from many of my friends, but never got a chance to verify it. This July (I mean july2006) when I was on my way back to my college in Nagpur, I was struck for 6 hours at Tatanagar station, I didn't have the slightest idea that I'll get to face one of my life's most interesting moments. Yes, dear reader!! What you just got through last 9 chapters actually happened to be my fellow co-passenger!! I came to know about her problems when I had started chatting with her when I knew that she too was going in the same train. She didn't want to tell this "weird" incident to me at first, thinking that I won't believe her, but then told at last. I was awestruck when she told me that the person was going to meet her that very day!! Well anyone can guess what amazement did I pass when the person turned out to be her Boyfriend!! I just asked them if I could wr

Close Apart (Chap-3)

Close Apart Chapter-3 “Lamb Delight” “Lamb Delight!! Wow, that was some order!” recalled Aditya. Actually, it was about a few months earlier that Manish, a colleague of Aditya tried to hook him up with a girl named Suneeta, who, Manish claimed was one of his girlfriend’s friend. So! On the preplanned Saturday night, Aditya came to this very place and met her. “She was gorgeous!” was Aditya’s first reaction and after a very short stretch of time Aditya started liking everything about her. And when Aditya knew that she was a little bit interested about computer softwares, then it made feel like: “look! Didn’t I tell you earlier? Gorgeous girls like softwares!!” Aditya had this (Well, used to have) symptom of being completely speechless near girls. So he tried to make his order speak of his feelings and he ordered a couple of “Lamb Delights!” Just after the waiter left, Suneeta turned to him and said “Do you know what they have in these?” Aditya was thinking to ask about what she was ref
