She sat down looking here and there. There was no one around. She was thankful for that but still she was nervous. This was not her first visit but still each time she went there it felt like first time. She looked at her watch! It was already very late. She tried thinking of her favorite things. She tried thinking of songs which made her happy. But she could not remember a single thing. She could not concentrate on anything at all. There was this unexplainable fear inside her. Each time she came there she felt like a prisoner full of guilt! And then the door opened. The Door to Hell! Some one called her name. She went in and sat. He smiled at her. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth open. The Wait to get in was over and the next wait to get out started. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Poems are not my cup of coffee or tea but then a poem that is very close to my heart is this particular as it gives me some relief from the pa

Rainy Day, A cup of hot tea in hand and a Book! Life is bliss with these 3 combinations!!! Books play an integral part in our lives. Starting from school text books to fictions to non fictions to self help to biographies. Each and every book teaches us something and we learn without even actually learning! One of my friends recently asked,which is my favourite genre of book and and it kept me thinking on what kind of books I read!! Recently I have started books of different genres.I even started reading Fantasies, Chiclits,Romance etc ;) But in fiction/non-fiction, a few have really inspired me. Do pick these and read in your own leisure time - The Leader who had no title : Robin Sharma Am not a great fan of the self help/guide books but this book with simple examples inspires. An apt book for all of us on how we can make a difference not just within ourself on how we work but also within the team. Switch - How to Change Things when Change is hard : Chip and Dan Hea

Are there times when you hear a new song and wonder if the tune is very familiar? Are there times when you felt completely dejected and all alone in life? Are there times when you wanted to tell something to your loved ones(be it anyone) but couldn't tell it openly? If you can relate to any of the above, grab the copy of Neon Nagaram and experience it yourself. When we ask a group of people what are their hobbies, 90% of the replies would be "Listening to Music" and "Reading Books". Paadhai has taken this wonderful concept to of mixing both these pleasures to one package and presented us with the 2nd musical Novel - Neon Nagaram. A complete novel written with the hero,Vinay ,in the lead and a perfect story woven with all the mentioned points! One can relate to each and every character in the story. From the father, who understands the son but hardly talks to him. A mother who is concerned about you. A brother who will, without even thinking for a

She was standing at the corner of the road. He hugged his mother tightly not wanting to leave her. She fed him. He quietly ate whatever she gave him. He felt happy when she took him in her arms.He felt secure. She looked at him with all the warmth and love in this world. He was her baby and she would never let anyone harm him. She felt him shiver as he heard the noise. A van stopped near them. She saw a few get out n come near her. A few were sitting inside and watching her, as if laughing at her. One of them took something from his hand and kept near his face. He was looking intently at her. She looked here and there. She could sense that her son was very scared. He had closed his eyes and was tightly hugging her. She was ready to fight them if they tried to do any harm her son. *Flash*, light flashed out of what that thing the guy had in his hand. She was about to snatch it away from him when she heard them going back to the van laughing. The van started and the shouts a

Life has become a business of sort! Compromises..Negotiations..Persuasions and what not to live our own life in ur manner! Oh am not going into philosophy now ;) My cell beeped with this message which prompted me to write this post! "SMS PUBLICITY for your business development excellent response@low cost for just Rs.1800 for 1 lakh sms. Attractive discount for corporate & bulk orders!" Thanks to the bulk sms option; we, the customers, who have a phone get numerous messages varying from plots on sale to holiday resorts to how to treat your hairfall! This goes by saying that when your cell beeps and you read such a message, it in turn only spoils your mood because we all look forward to messages from someone else...hmm i meant friends ;) All the service providers have this option of disabling any advertisement oriented msgs. I had also subscribed for that till recently. Normally each time I get such a message, i delete it or just have it in my inbox without reading it. So

Sudha picked up the newspaper and started reading it. As she was flipping the pages, her eyes fell on a picture. The person in the photo was smiling at her. Obituary column : Ramesh , 10th August 1940 to 13th August 2011. As she was reading the details, postman knocked at her door. She opened her letter. Dear Friend, Thanks for the Birthday wishes. We are growing older! You know that am not an emotional sort of person, but today for some reason am feeling nostalgic. There are times in our life when we need a person to whom we can depend on, a shoulder where we can lean on and a hand which we can hold for support. That person doesn't expect anything in return. And we are are forever indebted to them. You are one such person to me. I recollect all those situations when even though you were not here physically, you helped me in your own way. I am still happy that I made that small error of miscommunication that let us to know each other. This world might not see us

He was very excited. More than attending Raj's Wedding or the Sight seeing, he would get sometime to spend with Madhuri. Till now they had talked over the phone or chatted but had not met personally after the train meet. In the past few weeks he had started liking her a lot. He would eagerly wait to call her in the evenings to talk to her. His friends had started teasing him a lot. One of them even asked if Madhuri was his girl friend and he had actually blushed.He didn't say yes or no. Did he think of her as his girl friend? Now he wasn't sure himself. There was something special about her. But what did she think about him? With this trip, he felt he would get good chance to know her better. There were 7 of them who started from Mumbai together. Their plan was to leave on Thursday night from mumbai to Pune. The wedding was taking place in pune on Friday night. And after the wedding they decided to spend the weekend in Lonavala and then back to mumbai. Apart fro

Continued from Part 1 - Thanks to all those for liking the part. Makes me all the more enthu to write the next part :) As soon as she finished reading the post, she searched for his phone number in Facebook. She took the phone and messaged him. Himanshu was almost asleep, when his cell phone beeped. " Hi, its the unknown gi r l " He got up with a start. Before he could think about anything, next message came. " Sorry for messaging so late. Won't Disturb. Will talk later. Good Night ." He wasn't sure if he should message or not. He opened his laptop to check mails/FB/Blogs. No messages. He decided to reply to her message the next day and went to sleep, thinking about her. She wondered if he would have read the message. She had sent the first message and then realized how late it had been at night. She immediately sent the next message. Lying down in the bed, she secretly hoped he would message and slept off, thinking about him The next morning, he wondered w

Hi Everyone :) After long long time am back with story telling. Hope you like it : D ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Himanshu was waiting in the station for the train. He was already running late. He looked around and saw the crowd everywhere. He swore to himself why it has to be so full today only compared to the other days. Finally the train came and he got into the already crowded train. As he got into the train, he saw a girl standing at the middle of the coach. First look at her and he thought, she looked very pretty. Next moment, it dawned to him that she looked very familiar but he simply couldn't remember when and where he had met her. Through the jostle and pushes, he found himself in the middle of the coach. He heard a pat behind his back and turned back. It was the same girl he saw when he had entered the train. The moment she saw him, she smiled widely and said, "Himanshu! Hi, how are you. Heard that you were working

The alarm rang… She woke up with a small smile in her face. It was a special day. She quickly got ready and left her house. All the way from her house, she wondered what special she can do to make the day more memorable. She entered the place, which is called office, which had practically become her 2nd home. The moment she stepped inside the gate, old memories flooded in front of her eyes. suddenly she heard the bells ringing.Flowers were showered upon her as she started walking inside. She felt like the whole world was praising and blessing her! She walked through the securities to the lift. They all were smiling at her welcoming. She meekly smiled back and got into lift. Once out of lift she saw the housekeeping person who wished her. She again smiled at her and walked towards her bay. As she sat down in her chair and looked at her PC, it was smiling back at her. As she unlocked her system, she felt like the system was talking to her. She closed her eyes and thought about a phone ca

Life is a vicious circle and a few people are always in that circle!!!! For example consider one of those relatives about whom we always crib and avoid meeting but when we do meet, we try to show that we are so happy to meet them! For simplicity let's assume that particular relative to be your dad's cousin's sister-in-law's husband's mother!! Long chain right, but the catch is that this "Lady" is also staying in your neighborhood so knows more about what's happening in your life than your cousin! This "Lady" represents those 'n' no of relatives and family friends whose one of the main objectives of life is giving advices to you on anything and everything!!! Alright so how come it's a vicious circle. Scene 1 - Your mom is Pregnant! The " Lady " comes to meet your mother to wish her. She is genuinely happy for your mother and the conversation that starts off in congratulatory note slowly takes the tone of advices, not for

I sat on the shores of the beach, enjoying the sound of the sea and waves playing and splashing the shores. My mind was confused and completely upset. Life was full of unnecessary complications. I got up and started walking towards the water. I stopped when i reached the wet sand. I waited for the waves to come and splash on the shores wetting my feet. The difference in the surface of normal sand and wet sand seemed like the difference in two mind sets. As the waves came splashing, my legs automatically walked backwards avoiding the water. The waves looked a bit upset but went back. The waves again came, this time more forcefully, and as I prepared myself to brace them it splashed just before my feet teasingly and went back without touching me. Then again the next set of waves came and I took a step forward and waves came splashing and kissed my feet and went back. And then the series of waves started coming and i was all set to go inside the water and wet myself and enjoy the joy of

All the Atheists(those who hate/don't like cricket), please stay away... The Most Common and Unanimous religion of India is Cricket. And the GOD of Cricket is SACHIN!!! If you have had any doubts on that, you should just go and watch an Indian match in any cricket stadium. From the day I have followed Cricket, I wanted to go and watch one match at a stadium. And this wish was fulfilled by my uncle on Sunday :D Venue - Chepauk Stadium, Chennai Date - 20th March One of the biggest problem in India is the facilities. Even though we left early from home to be by 1.30 PM, we struggled and went around not able to get a proper parking sace. The traffic policemen, in very bad simply kept showing their hands in some direction and we were left to assume what that direction would have meant! Finally we ended up parking at the beach and walk a good 20 minutes before we reached the ground gates. Once inside the gate, we were welcomed by a long queue. By this time we got to know (courtesy my bro

Rohit and Kiran were the most romantic couple. Like any bollywood movie love story, their love story also kick started with a slap and then hate for each other when they met first which slowly turned into love of the century! With full opposition from their families (all the fights and emotional dramas taking their roles perfectly) they ran off and got married. Uday , Rohit's best friend helped them during this time and got a house in the nearby city - Sitapur , for them to settle down. Uday was the typical side hero character who fell in love with every girl whom he met but none of those girls looked back at him. He ended up helping his friends get success in their love matters but his was always a failure. Starting their new married life, they wanted everything to be full of "love". So anything and everything in their house was seen as a couple with names given, like TV is a guy called Mike and Music System, a girl called Stella. Doors are guys called Bob,Rob,Job etc an

She got up hearing a voice. she looked here and there but simply couldn't remember anything. She heard a voice distinctly, a very familiar voice. She realized that she was in hospital. Flowers were arranged by her side. She closed her eyes and tried to remember… Accident.. yes she met with an accident and then what? She tried to concentrate and remember but her mind was blank. She couldn't remember when the accident happened. She opened her eyes and wondered how long she had been in hospital. She heard the door open, she got up and saw a nurse entering. Seeing her awake, the nurse smiled and gently asked her how she was feeling. She opened her mouth but no voice came. She tried to clear her throat and speak again but she couldn't. Suddenly her throat was full of pain. she heard the voice again in her head. Before she could understand anything, she passed out. She woke up and saw her mother sitting by her bed side. She looked around and saw that she was still in hospital. Be
