“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 hurriedly stepped down from the tram.

Aditya got back to his flat, had a bath, watched his favorite TV serials, had his dinner, but not even for a second the thought of Amrita, left his mind.

Just when he was planning to go for sleeping, his cell-phone rang, it was Amrita.

“Aditya! Sorry to disturb you at this time, but today, when I left you in the tram, I felt like expressing myself near you, but in hurry I forgot to say you something.”

“Well! You can say it now” Aditya’s pulse was racing.

“I wanted to say… Thank You for the treat!”

“Ohh… You are welcome…”

With a sound of giggle on the other side, some words flowed through the receiver.

“Good Night Adi!”

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
