A story from the bus ride home

Outside the tattered rags covering the broken frame surrounding the shattered panes of the window, the sullen grey-green sky hangs over the glowing gray Earth, the skyline formed by the austere but beautiful concrete jungle which is the descendant of what they once called Delhi. Xzz’td draws the curtains one more time and yet, his [...]

Epic Slander

One of my colleagues had invited me to his wedding – an event, which through unfortunate circumstances (and mostly my extreme stupidity) I did not attend.
So, I am, a bit awkwardly, hoping that he’ll forgive this transgression of mine after reading this story.
I’m submitting the hand written draft to him as a sort of shaky [...]

The Journey Of Random Guy – A Story

The Journey of Random Guy: How Random left being an anonymous guy in a geek company and became a man of the world
Once upon a time, in a 2BHK far far away, lived a boy who worked for Sinfoo. He had but one dream – True love. He cared naught for anything else, much like [...]

“Well, she stares at you often enough…”

A short story: Wake Up Neo.

20th Jan. 7:45:01 am.
Undone by a simple act, I watched in wonderment at the sheer absence of any intensity of reaction I showed from a distance – wonderment, yes – but a numb, detached, intellectual curiosity about how could people behave so coldly to ones once professedly near.
There was nothing left. There was nothing left [...]

It was a hot and sunny day

It was a hot and sunny day.
The kind that melts your orange ice cream from it’s stick and makes you cry as it falls off and you can’t save it.
His name wasn’t Kurt. It was Ravi.
He was another Indian in disguise.
Everyone knew it, they just didn’t say anything. After all, his money was just as [...]
