Run

Detective Nilesh was trying to read a book when his son came running, asking if he had made the decision of their vacation destination. Would it be Indonesia or Thailand? His son, was excited as this was the 1st international vacation they were planning in their family. The 1st vacation he had in the past 2 years. His friend Rajat and his Indonesian wife voted for Indonesia, as it was their favorite and planned to accompany them. Nilesh and Rajat were family friends. Their common interest was solving cases. Both loved their work so much that they compete on solving a case they take up together. Their score was equal and the last case would have proved who won this unwritten competition. After that last case, where both of them could not get evidence for their suspects to be caught, they both were burnt and practically burnt them out. They both planned to take a break. But then he just could not forget the unsolved case. They just could not figure out why “Run” what was

Perception!

Krithi and Shwetha, very close cousins, are doing their usual catchup at the end of their week. Krithi : “Hello Shweth! How was your week?” Shwetha : “Long and no time to breath re. But then since I want to wind up by next week to come there, am not complaining. You tell me how are things there? Vacations started for Ritu right? Went out?” Krithi : “Nah! Nothing new from my end. Same old stuffs. Ya her vacations started but Ritu has a lot of homework so finishing that fast before her favorite aunt comes home. So we hardly get time to go out. “ Shwetha – “haha, super! Ya ask her to keep whole time free for me! Ok tell what’s the latest gossip at your apartment that I should be looking at when I come there? :D. “ Krithi : “Oh yes, listen! I told you right? Mr Mukherjee and his wife had moved out. Someone new has arrived. OMG! She is full of attitude. You remember how sweet Mrs Mukherjee used to be. I used to leave Ritu with them when I go to market. This new

A Trial - Belief!

 A TRIAL Scene 1 - Two law associates are talking at the corridor of a long court room halls. Pranav : Where are you heading Sam? Samantha : Court room 5, of course! Don’t you remember Pranav? Today is the trial day for Vikash. The driver who ruthlessly killed that poor little girl Sabani. Pranav : That was such a tragedy right! We have come across so many cases, but this was brutal. We believe these drivers, employ them and send kids. But, see what has come upon. It really troubles me. Sam : Oh man! That’s true. I heard, he kept denying about committing the murder even after the Assistant Commissioner literally caved into him. Pranav : Oh! You do have your sources (smirked Pranav). Since this is a pro-bono case, who has volunteered to represent Vikash? Sam : Mr. Jaswesh Saini. Can you believe that? Pranav : Wow! Really? Generally, he doesn’t encourage taking up cases where there is a chance of losing. This is clear cut case of murder for money. Sam : Yeah that’s w

Fragrance!

Raj opened the door and switched on the light of Amit’s house. He still could not believe it! His best friend, Amit, was dead. All of 35 years and dead due to a cardiac arrest! He still remembered their dinner 2 days ago on Amit’s birthday when they had met at their favorite restaurant. He was perfectly fine and even contemplating taking a break from work to visit his brother. Work which kept him awake for more than 20 hours a day. Being a cop was not easy. But he was one of the best in his team. They both had started their career together and had become best buddies in those 3 months of training. Through all the ups and downs of the cop life, they were there for each other, even when duty took them to different cities. And the next day Amit was dead. He shook his head and looked around. A small room at the front with a section carved as kitchen. Last time the kitchen was used was for making coffee. The utensils were still in the sink. He entered the small bedroo

Outlook of Life

I was walking to my stop to get on my ride back from office. Instead of taking the usual shuttle from my office block to the main gate, I got into the mood of walking, despite the laptop bag! The distance is close to 1 km. There were many people walking the same distance both ways so I was forced to alter the pace of walking. First 2 times someone slower to me was walking ahead of me, for a moment I got frustrated. Friday evening – the last thing I wanted to be was frustrated! Then suddenly I remembered the video games we have played as kids. Do you remember Contra and Mario? Those Video game era, where we had to share the video games and it was only allowed during summer holidays. Different video cassettes were exchanged and played! Well, I suddenly started thinking of each of the people walking alongside, as the obstacle we face in those video games! Also during that walk, the entrance/exit of other buildings are there. So the vehicles entering/exit also make you stop for a

Friend - 55F

Diya stood at the edge ready to jump. She had lost everything worth living for and was feeling completely alone! Reema wiped tears, looking at the photographs, missing her friends. Finally divorced, she wanted to reconnect with her old world she had lost touch. *Phone Ringing* “Diya, Reema here. I need my best friend now!” P.S - This post is part of weekly challenge that me and my friends have started to get us back to our passions of writing and art work that we all used to do!!
