Close Apart Chapter-6 “Disappear*” Aditya got back to his office, connected his computer to some website and downloaded software and started working on it. “Aditya! Is everything O.K. there?”Mr. Arora was standing in front of his cabin. “Sir I was just going to report to your office…” “Just saw a Trojan activity on your terminal, so I just came here to check if everything’s alright.” “Nothing sir, just needed to set up a remote access, so just used it, as you know sir, nothing beats them in service.” “I know Aditya! But also know that these Trojans are hackers’ best tools.” “I’ll use them modestly sir, and yes, I’ve fixed their librarian software…” “That’s good! Alright then, concentrate on your work.” But I saw Aditya was busy in scanning the ports of the address which Amrita gave him. What was he up to? “Just as I thought! Almost all the high ports are open… Mr. Bakshi!! You are in trouble!”Aditya murmured. ***************************************************** Amrita was busy at her ...

Close Apart Chapter-5 “The British Council Mystery” Back to work, next day! Aditya felt a new life in his job; his same old boring cabin looked amazingly refreshing that day, Aditya felt just how only finding a known face in the daily crowd can fill you up with a feeling that whatever may be the situation, you’re not wasting a big part of your life! “Boss calling you… Getting an increment or what?” Manish informed Aditya. Aditya rushed out “Well, we have a case here…” said Mr. Arora. “Where, exactly? Did your mail account block? Or your registry is asking some strings!” Now we hear some ‘Professional Aditya speaking’ “I mean to say in the British Council” said Mr. Arora. Hell broke loose over Aditya’s head! And an irritating voice kept on pinching him from back of his head “I told you, dentist’s idea was not enough fail-safe! Now face what ‘case’ you’ve created” “Sir is this something related to the recep…” “No, no, not in reception! I’m getting the exact data packets from there serv...

Close Apart Chapter-4 “The Call*” “That was something heavy!!” said Amrita, referring the meal they had. “You call that heavy? I’m still feeling hungry.” “So, Aditya! How long you’ve been here, doing this job?” “About a year now, already I’ve been promoted once…” “That’s so typically you!!” said Amrita. “Now you’ll say that I also got promoted every year at school!!” “Speaking of school, where are the other guys?” “Don’t have lot of contacts” said Aditya “Just a few, Subhash is in Aeronautics Engineering with IA, Suraj is in the US, pursuing his career as a CA …” “And Amrita is in Kolkata as a receptionist in BC!” interrupted Amrita “That’s right!” said Aditya “So that leaves only we two in this city!” “You know one thing… for the past one year or so, we’ve been walking the same road to our works, only because today I was late, we had this chance to meet.” Uttered Amrita Aditya looked in the eyes of Amrita; he felt that they wanted to reveal something, “My stop’s here” said Amrita and ...

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...
