….For the umpteenth time she screamed “I am sick of this”. Rolling up her sleeves, she begins to type again, it was one of her many letters to the stranger. Hillary walks in unnoticed, while covering her mouth to hide her mocking laughter; she pushes Tami from behind;
Girlfriend, don’t you think you are taking this letter thing a little too far?
Not in the least, Tami retorted, pissed at the interruption. You just don’t get it gal!
Oh ok, I get it, this stranger is the one who gets to hear what …

I studied the world outside the frosted glass, hoping it would distract me from the wrapped present in my hands. The refrigerator hummed, the logs in the fireplace crackled as the heat deemed too much on the chunks of wood, and the rush of holiday traffic buzzed by in a hurried frenzy. Even with all that went on around me, the absolute stillness within the walls of my once home pierced my ears and rattled me to the core.
Don’t go there.
I brought my attention back to the present. I couldn’t …

Standing in one corner of the crowded and brightly lit grounds, Arjun dug
his hands deeper into his pockets and let out a small sigh. As he’d
expected, his friend was already entertaining a group of the bride’s friends
and he hadn’t even gotten as far as hello. Of course, Arjun knew which girl
he’d like to say hello to. He’d spotted her as soon as the wedding party had
arrived, looking pretty in a blue saree. Scanning the gathering, his eyes
rested on the newly-weds. Just then, the groom also looked up and beckoned
Arjun to …

As Henna hit the send button in her mailbox, her heart was thumping loudly. She did not know how Sameer will react to her stance. She has been a shy girl, but love gave her strength to be honest and forthcoming about her feelings for Jai.
Henna had met Jai recently, and she felt an instant attraction towards him. She could not help herself from falling in love with him. The fact that she was to marry within next few months seemed immaterial. She knew what she shared with Jai was …

When God closes a door, he opens another.
“Very well for one to forward such messages”, I thought, and sighed to myself. I glanced outside my window. The thunder, the heavy rain, the dark, gloomy sky reflected my mood. I had thought that coming to Liverpool for my MBA would help, buy me time. But things didn’t work that way, and I felt all lost and alone now. Sigh.
“….establish chains of cause and effect…” I looked outside my window again. I just could not concentrate on my dissertation. My boss’ …

She has been with me for last 3 years. She follows me wherever I go. It started on that day when I had visited her for the last time to convince her of my love and innocence.
I had gone here to talk to her, to plead her to come back to me. I had been trying to get back with her for several months. I had been begging her, following her everywhere, trying to reason with her. I had apologized many times, but she never gave me a second chance. …

“You are so not going to do this, Hannah!” Mary pleaded.
“Why wouldn’t I?”
“I don’t know.  You are my sister.”
“So?”
“I am asking you not to. You won’t go to her and ruin everything.”
“Watch me!”
Hannah turned her back to her elder sister and ran away.
Damn it! Mary thought when she ran for her life in a desperate attempt to catch up with her sister.
For a few minutes it seemed like Hannah was unreachable but then the distance between the girls began to decrease.  Soon enough Mary drew up with Hannah and they …

I have been waiting for this day for last 3 months, or last 15 years. Nisha is my first and the only love whom I could not marry. And, I decided that I would never marry. We had stopped talking since then but a few months back, Nisha wrote to me telling me that she was coming to my city and would love to see me. I am standing at the airport to receive her.
My heart is racing so hard, I am sure everyone can hear it. I feel the …

“Jack, please hurry up with those lavenders. The wedding is at noon.” I said as I reached for the bouquets of white roses for the bridesmaids. Being in a hurry, I accidently knocked into someone and fell with the roses scattered around the florist’s shop. “Ouch! Not the roses!” I said out loud as I straightened up. I asked Jack to get me the replacements as I paid for the damage done. I heard an apology but I waved it off. The workers carried all the flowers to my car …
