And today, we are here again. It looks like nothing has changed " before Simran could finish, Rohit interuppted "No Simran! Everything has changed. The place, the time, the situation... everything!!But promise me Simran, that you'll not change" There was an irrie in Rohit's voice. "What's the matter? You're looking so tensed! So tierd..." asked Simran "Yes, I'm tierd. Tierd of my luck, tierd of my fate" "What are you saying!" "Yes Simran!! Remember? Once I took your help to start a story?

Together Forever Chapter 1 "Ride along the silent path" A car raced along the silent path, that connects the city with the country-side. "Remember the place?" asked Rohit while driving the car. "Ofcourse!" said Simran, "Is it a place to be forgotten?" The car finally stopped between a vast field... Rohit continued.. "Yes!! That memorable day & this memorable place! Don't you remember how I made you to come to this place? 4 years back..." Simran smiled after recalling her memories "You were about to tell me something about your story before you wrote it." "The story..." Rohit took a deep breath.."I am still writing the story" Simran was going down her memory lane "You told that a boy was in love with a girl he knew, but the girl was unaware of his feelings, and asked me what the guy should do.." Rohit inturrpeted " And it was your decision of the boy expressing his feelings near the gi...

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...

Train Encounter Chapter-9 "Face behind the voice" Shalini inched near the door. The swarming crowd that has just popped in made her approach a little slow!! She gave out a desperate "Excuse Me!" every now and then...At last her eye got the glimpse which se was craving for more than a month now!! Shalini got a shock!! Shock of a lifetime. She stood there for more than a minute, just thinking the fact and then recollected herself finally and uttered, "A second more and I would have caught you with your orange t-shirt in s2...How could you do this to me??" "Shalini, believe me, I had no intentions to hurt you... I was just...” "Hurt? Do you have any idea what your joke has done to my life??" "It never was a joke Shalini.Not the day I 1st called you up, not now..." "What the hell do you think of yourself Arun!! Now where is that person whom you fixed up to call me?" "It was me Shalini!! I called you up all these days. I ...

Eight Down!! Two More To Go!! Wait till the last two chapters unfold the suspence!! Remember.."Truth is stranger than fiction"

Train Encounter Chapter-8 "Arrival" Shalini was a little too engulfed in her memories. She was brought back by the monotonous voice of the announcer... "May I have your attention please. Train no. 2860 Howrah-Mumbai Geetanjali Express has arrived on platform no.4" "Shalu!! Hurry up!! The train is here!" Mr. Sharma was in a hurry. Shalini quickly recollected herself and hurried up to the coach which was in front of her... "Thats not s4!!" Mr. Sharma shouted from outside. "Oh.. sorry!!" Shalini was in a hurry to get down when she got a glimpse of something... something which came and went away so fast in front of her eyes, yet it seemed like she had recognised it. "Shalu!! What are you waiting for? come'on!!" "Yes Papa." With a hitch in mind Shalini boarded s4 and with a pounding heart, went near her seat,43. She had reserved her seat on an upper berth cause she loved to enjoy an uper berth journey. That meaned tha...

Train Encounter Chapter-7 "The Drift..." Shalini wasn't sure what she was upto!! She had never allowed any other person to breach into her private world, untill now... The person behind the reciever was literally controlling her activities day & night. Shalini felt that she was spending a little more time in phone. Even her friends started finding her different!! How in this world that the voice was sensing every wish & desires of her!! Shalini never told anyone about this thing. Not even Arun. "Shalu!! The train is on line clear!! It'll be arriving here anytime." Mr. Sharma brought her back into the present. The Time was coming near... Shalini could sense the exitement that was rising high within her. She looked down at her reciever for the last time to check that it didn't show any connections left. She remembered how once she made a try to get information about the no. from which the call came..... "9830..? It must be a Kolkata Hutch no....

Train Encounter Chapter-6 "What!! He's on the Radio!!" Shalini went back home and helped herself with some food. She was really starving! Then she sneaked into her room & closed the door behind her. She switched off all the lights and sat down at her favourite place, laying her back against the cupboard. She used this place as her very own place in this vast universe. A place where she could think about anything and everything. A place where she was really free to do whatever she wanted. Shalini thought about all those times when she used to settle there in between her board exam studies for sometimes, to ponder about her day so far in general & life ahead in particular. Shalini recalled how she had sat there for hours talking with Arun, who on the other side kept on insisting that the talk is getting too long. He was ignorent of the fact that Simple chats over phone are more romantic than long strolls in silent streets. Arun was always this 'Silent Lover'...

Train Encounter Chapter-5 "Mischief, Mayhem,Someone" Strolling on the platform, Shalini was again sucked back into her memories.... nearing june, one day Shalini was sitting in her room, doing the project-work which was given by the instructer of the computer coaching she enrolled a few weeks ago... She was supposed to work on some online pictures which were in her folder. Shalini was very poor at modifying pictures & usually took a hell lot of time in morphing them. But today was her lucky day, she was carefully doing her job when just like a bolt from the blue, a window popped up saying..."MISCHIEF" and before Shalini could react to something, she saw her whole project work was getting disfigured!! Shalini tried to correct it but it was too late. Someone was controlling the workspace from outside, "but how was it possible!?" Shalini thought. Just then another window popped in front of her eyes saying..."MAYHEM" and Shalini saw her whole fol...

Train Encounter Chapter-4 "Down Memory Lane" Shalini had never thought that someone would ever propose her!! Well she thought that she was just another normal school going girl, with no interests in other worldly affairs. But her confution went wrong when a boy named Arun asked her if she wanted to be his Valentine... Days had past since then and their reletionship had also matured alon the way... After Arun completed his 12th std, he went to Pune to pusue his career in Medicine, Things were a little painful for Shalini. She was suddenly too lonely. Although Arun called her often but Shalini thought that his voice was becoming colder still, she felt herself drifting away from Arun. Shalini Remembered every bit of the conversation that went on the last time when Arun called her a few days ago... "Hello Shalini??" "Arun!!" "Yes its me, well... H...How are You?" "well I am fine, what about You?" "Hmm..... Just stressed out.. Too much ...

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 w...

Train Encounter Chapter 2 "A Month n a half ago.." It all started when Shalini answered the 1st of its kind phone call about a month and a half ago. It was just like any other call from an unknown no. untill she answered to the deep groovy voice on the other side of the reciever... "Hello!" "Hello Shalini!! I wont blame your anxiousness to know who I am. But trust me, I promise You not to let You know about it till we meet." "Who are You?" "Well There You go!! But as I said, thats a mystery. For now I can only let You know that I am a person who want to gain aquintance with You." "What the...Where did You get my no.?" "Why? Isnt it posted on each and every mail accounts, and fourums and clubs you go...NOt to mention about the library!! Is it really hard to get your no.?" For a moment Shalini felt a surge of anger rising from within, she felt like dropping the call at once. But she didn't, there was a strange myst...

Train Encounter Chapter-1 "The Train Station" "May I have Your Attention Please, 2859 Howrah-Mumbai Geetanjali Express, Which was expected to come at 17:16 hrs is Running late by 50 mins." Shalini was waiting eagerly for the train to come. Sitting on an empty bench on the platform of Tatanagar, she could barely wait!! After travelling such a long distance from Asansol & waiting for more than 3 hrs, she was just on her edge of nerves. "Maybe there's some problem with the signal" said her dad in a reassuring tone, "They have a single line problem every now and then." Shalini was not interested in these things. She was in fact looking forward towads her admission in K.P.B. Hinduja College of Commerce. After her successful result in class 12 board exam she was very happy when she found herself in one of the colleges in Mumbai after councelling. Though that would mean that Mr.sharma has to pour in some extra money. "Ring-Ring" Her ce...
