U r so special to me...

"Your so sweet, your so cute, know will you please pick up the phone" Madhu's phone started ringing loudly.
" hello" he answered
"hi, you sleeping? did i disturb you!" Sravanthi said she was in the other end.
"n.....ope, i..was just....... anyways what happen you called?" he replied
" remember you have to meet me today at six, i have to talk with you something important" she said
" yeah! i will be there on time..... bye... take care" he hurriedly ran to bathroom. it was already five fifteen by then...........

Srav(as he calls) and he were class mates for 4 years in engineering and now they are colleagues in the same office.


"What is there to loose, everything is lost", Madhu sighed deeply at the very thought of evening incident. He got on the train with so many thoughts whirled around in his mind and did not care those Punjabi couple who are trying to sit as close as possible leaving no space between them in opposite berth. He leaned towards the window only to see the vacuum to get rid of all the thoughts from his mind. But he couldn't forget everything what happened in last couple of days. He thought that she will express her love when she called up to talk an important but he never expected her to say

'And probably this will be our last meeting in our life as we will leave to US just before u come back from Delhi'.

He still remembered their clash on 1st day of the college, becoming Mr &Ms Fresher, 1mile walk in the rain during their tour to Manali and most recently kissing on his forehead in 'GET TOGETHER' party with their office staff.

......Temme dude, what's the so important matter? He asked
"U know, I have told u many times that my parents are looking for a match.
Now they have finalized with a NRI from US. Our horoscope is also matching perfectly. They urging the marriage should take place in 15 days as that guy won't get leave again" she said
"Could u give a glass of water, please", Madhu asked while looking at the sky with his hands rubbing the sweat on his face.
"And probably this will be our last meeting in our life as we will leave to US just before u come back from Delhi".
"…uhhhhh", he took a long breath.
"Thank you, all the best for u r future life", he uttered and before he walked away,
"A small gift for u and open it after going home", she gave a pack wrapped in color paper with her eyes looking anxiously for his answer.
He didn't say anything except 'Thanks'.


The light was put off and the husband (I guess) now encroached her lap completely by leaving half of the berth empty. When the train stopped at a small station the whole compartment is in deep sleep. Madhu got up to get something to eat and suddenly he remembered about the gift while taking the parcel of samosas from vendor. He rushed back to train to open the gift which she has given in the evening. He found a greeting card referring to VERY SPECIAL with her written words


U have been my best friend before u became very special to me. All these days I had a fear if u say NO; But now I m saying

Ami tomAy bhAlobAshi
Tane Prem Karoo Choo
Mu tumaku bhala paye
Main tumse pyar karti hun
Maza Tuzyavar Prem Ahe
enikku ninne ishtamanu
Naanu Ninna Preethisuve
nenu ninnu premisthunnanu
Naan Unnai Kadhalikiren
I love you


Hopefully, I'll live with you forever…


He got down from the train once again but this time with his bag…giving those couple more space… to catch the return train…

(It's one of my friend's own experiences and the names were changed on his request )

Life is unfair to me...

As usual I lied on the bed before sleeping, gazing at the sky to observe the plough of stars as I always do especially when I sleep on the terrace during summer. But this time I could see something peculiar in the sky which loomed close to my eyes scared me and made me to close my eyes before I hid under blanket. Further, I did not dare to peep from the cover and but closed eyes firmly to get slumbered.

This was not the first time I have gone through some horrific experience; almost daily I m encountering some strange dreams from last few days, especially after my recent break up with Priyanka. Also, I am not able to digest the fact that I am not gonna make in to good universities after my consecutive poor performance in GRE. Even the universities which showed sympathy by giving admission are not ready to give funding. My Uncle whom was I assuming as financier for my MS has given a jolt by saying his job is in jeopardize and he can be no longer as sponsor. Now, I am neither sure of getting Visa nor fulfilling my ambition of studying aeronautics in reputed university.

Also, I am frustrated with monotonous work in my job; became inert and not able to do simple tasks assigned to me. My boss says I am a dullard and my colleagues treat me as a maniac. Soon I may be fired from the job which I have been doing from last two years.
I can figure out the only solution to all the above problems is running away from everyone. Yes, I don't want this life which is so unfair to me….

Another frightful day in my life

I woke up early in the morning at 6.59 AM just a minute before my mobile alarm rang, finished my morning prayer before I rushed to get ready to go for the job. It was severe cold outside true to forecast -21 C (feels like)temperature and adding to the woes there was heavy snow falling with wind speed of 85 kmph made me to hesitate to go out of my room. I prepared myself wearing a thick jacket along with thermals; warm fleece mittens to keep the fingers protected and put on earmuffs as if I was marching to war. Somehow I stepped out and walked steadily towards the bus stop to catch the Shuttle. As I was near to the bus stop i could see two black people and hear one mumbling by looking at me. I got unnerved and no longer could walk but tried to act as if I was on phone and did not care them. Once they ensured that there was no one except me, they started approaching me and I shrank back against their direction by holding my breath. When I walked for some distance I have seen the shuttle advancing with high speed but there was no way I go back to the stop as those buggers were still chasing me. Eventually I had to go back to my room and lock inside till I was made sure that they were not in sight.

I was late to the job by 1 hour and the gas station owner growled at me for not opening it at 8 and I had to make it up by working till evening 6 by bunking the Maths class. It became 11 PM by the time I reached my room after finishing another job at Indian store; got exhausted completely especially standing for more than four hours at store. There was no one at my room by that time as my room mates have already left for their jobs in motels and it has become 4 days since I have seen them. As I was very hungry I opened the refrigerator to find nothing and then I had to cook the rice to eat with the pickles. It became 12.59 AM in my mobile when I was setting the alarm to wake up at 7AM to start another frightful day in my life.
