The IPL season was on and the third match of the series between Deccan Chargers and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) was scheduled to take place at the stadium in his city. It was very close to his house. His dad’s best friend had managed to get two tickets for the both of them!
He had spent the past few weekends practicing his batting and bowling techniques – who knows, he might …

‘Stealing some glances here and there, I found myself staring at this beauty…’
Sweltering heat made me all of sweat and I was dripping, from brow to toe. With a handkerchief, one of my hands was constantly making contact with my face, and the other was just hanging there under the weight of the HP gadget. With all that sweat from the season but it was still the month of November. But then this city knows no season other than summer, we get to feel the sunshine heat all year long. …

“Ah …that explains why you hate girls.” Aryal was taken aback with the sudden snort. “What do you mean Meg?’ he retorted. ‘I mean since I know you like you where this big!’ marking his adolescent height with her hands. Meg and Aryal were in his office, when sudden the door bell announced someone’s arrival. The conversation stopped and Aryal excusing himself rushed to answer the door.

She got married at an early age of 21. For a 21yr old girl, it was all a heart warming experience . In ever walks of her life she was utmost cared by her loving parents, ‘cared more than the little pearl dew drop nestled on a shimmering green leaf.  She was never exposed to any form of worries, except for school exams and her homework. She was blessed with envious luxuries anyone could ever only wish, meant exclusively for her that too without ever asking.
Back in school she used …

“Liz, make me a latte with an extra shot,” said Janet. She would be late as she was working on the latest contract, and thus needed some caffeine to keep on going.

“Roses are red, lilies are blue;
You are my lover, …so is Seau!”
“Err! Abhi who is this Seau huh?” Anu almost lashed out on him. Making poetic rhymes was Abhi’s passion. His conversations never finished without something or the other rhyming, rather out of sync. Maybe it was more or less instinctive to his vocabulary, cuss he never tried intending. It was funny how he used up words to construct even the normal of spoken phrases. Utterly grammarless is what it should be ‘to the point of being almost influent in …

Seven-year-old Dona was a wee bit older than her little sis Fiona and way younger than her 10-year-old big brother Luke. Christmas was just round the corner and since none of her kids believed in Santa Claus, their mum Luna decided to be frank with them.
On a bright Monday morning, with just a week left for Christmas, she made an important announcement. “Children as money’s a little tight at the moment, each of you will be getting one small gift so that I can buy your daddy the file cabinet …

“You are too young to go dating.”

For Tina, her parents were old-fashioned. They were in their late 50s and old. Her house looked quaint with bright yellow lamps and …

“How I wish you had been dead just after you were born,” said a disgusted Rick. This is what he always told his kid brother. Nothing irked 15-year-old Rick more than having little Aaron constantly trailing behind him. Anything he did, anywhere he went, 5-year-old Aaron would follow him.
Rick’s parents decided on a second issue so that their first-born wouldn’t feel lonely. It would have been perfect with Rick as well had things happened on time. Rick was no longer young and he …
