I was drinking beer waiting for my friend in a bar when this gorgeous girl walked up to me. She: Hi! How are you? Me: Hi! I am good. How are you? She : Great. Can I sit here? What’s your name? Me: Rohit. And yours? She: God. Me (coughing in my beer mug): Which … Continue reading »

Love smells burnt
It was the silence that brought her back. Consciousness brought the smell with it and she retched. She twitched her hands and legs, stiffened by the duct-tape digging in her flesh. No one had bothered to unbind her. The door of her bedroom was still locked from outside. Her hair were all over her face, … Continue reading »
A bag of dreams
The moment the HR executive announced Aman’s name, his eyes witnessed a temporary blackness. It happens with many of us in the moment of sheer ecstasy when we finally achieve what we have diligently strived for. He just stared at her blankly waiting for the veil of blackness to lift and waiting for her to … Continue reading »
The Cage
I was sitting on a mat spread lazily on the lush green grass surrounding India Gate when the cage appeared for the first time. It was a sunny winter afternoon and I was in a mood to sketch. My ten months old son was sleeping in a pram besides me while I had sent my … Continue reading »
A Bygone Life
My Grandma was very fond of her convent school days in the British Raj. Once fluttering Barnaby Rudge in her hands as her glasses slid down her nose while catching Santa Barbara on Star World, she told me of the days when she studies with British girls. Her father was a very influential contractor in … Continue reading »
The Nebula Mindspin – Story and Epilogue
The Nebula Mindspin turned out to be a complete mindspin largely because my mind started spinning when I read the 20 comments which created the story. There were numerous dreams within dreams. Gandalf finally did his strip dance and Someone had the audacity to kill poor Kareena. The devil slipped over the hero’s pee which … Continue reading »
The Nebula Mindspin
I got the idea of this post from an amazing post from Ashish, the Geek Wrestler, who a few days back wrestled the urge to empty his bladder. Sorry my Lord, couldn’t help it. So I am inspired(by his post, that is) and thus I am taking the liberty of using it. If you really … Continue reading »
I love you too
First of all, my apologies to everyone for not being a very regular reader of the posts of all my buddies for quite some time now. The reason being that I have shifted base to a new place and my office is an (un)comfortable two hours drive from my home. So, I end up being in the lap … Continue reading »
Sunrise
She was staring at the sun. The sun was taking its last breath before it would die in the ocean and give way to the cover of the night and then would be reborn again like the Phoenix the next morning, in another part of the world, in another ocean. The vicious loop which would … Continue reading »
Pandora’s box
I slowly opened the door of daddu’s room. It was a small dingy room with paint coming out at various places, wide blotches of water at the ceiling due to the heavy rains two days back. There was a cot at one end of the room, a small table at the other end with a … Continue reading »
The loop
He jumped into the tube at Charring Cross. He had to get down ten stations later at Queen’s park, but somehow he was not bothered. He was just waiting for her. From the last two days, she was boarding from Paddington. The first day he saw her, she was roaming around, as if looking … Continue reading »
The last letter of Mrs. O’Connor
Its not hard to kill people. I am not saying this because this is my profession but killing someone is nothing more than a mind-game. Its awkward for the first time, I agree, but that’s because your mind is not used to the idea….like we were not used to the earth being round. After you … Continue reading »
