Train Encounter(Chap-10)

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 write about their incident. They agreed and so here I am!!

No Doubt I have modified a lot on the story part. I think as a writer I have that right. But if, dear reader, you are the person concerned here (I mean Shalini or Arun in real life) Then please let me know how much justice I have done to your story.
And dear reader, if don't have any idea who Shalini & Arun are in real life, then just let me know how much I have done justice in Story Writing...

The story(Train encounter) is very interesting. The accumulating suspense keeps the reader on tenterhooks. The ending was awaited with abated breath, and it does not disappoint the reader.
A few spelling mistakes may be overlooked in a hastily written blog story,but `come down' for `calm down' (in ch. 9) should not have happened

IT WAS REALLY A VERY SWEET STORY.
TRULY SPEAKING , AFTER GOING THROUGH 1ST 2 CHAPERS I UNDERSTOOD THAT IT WAS RELATED TO A TRUE STORY.
BUT THE WAY U PUT EVERY MINUTE EMOTION AT RIGHT TIME IN D RIGHT PLACE IS VERY APPRECIABLE.

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...

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...

Close Apart (Chapter-8)

Close Apart Chapter-8 “Here She Comes…” Still coping with the pain of leaving his ‘lady love’ for the rest of the week, Aditya dragged himself towards the platform where Rajdhani Express was about to arrive. Komal was coming in the couch AS2. So when the train arrived Aditya went near the coach and waited for her to pop out. A few moments later a young girl came out. Aditya had some genuine doubts about her being Mr. Arora’s daughter, he never thought that his daughter could inherit such beauty, but when he saw that she was actually giving a feel of looking for someone, Aditya approached. “Excuse Me, Miss Komal Arora?” “Yeah!?” “Aditya here, Actually Mr. Arora had an important appointment so…” “But Dad Said that he’ll be here!!” “It was a last minute change!!” “Look! I don’t need this…” “Excuse me?” “I mean I don’t need anyone to receive me at the station and escort me to my home!! I am old enough to handle these things.” “I can understand…” “No you can’t! So just show me where the car...
