'Get up, we reached office' my colleague woke me up when we reached Tejaswini building. I got out of the air-conditioned cab, removed my specs and rubbed the moisture filled glasses with my t-shirt. I watched my peers going straight to the office. I followed them, stopped at the elevator and went directly to the food court at the seventh floor. There were people having dinner watching new generation cricket but I didn't see them. I headed towards the balcony and there I reached my favorite spot; top floor balcony of Tejaswini building! I was alone there. I took a cigarette out of my pocket and lit it. I started to speak from my heart and puffed to the air. I saw every word spreading in the dark sky. I was happy to share my feelings with someone who never complained. Looking up my watch, I took one more puff left for office.. (My very first narration, 2010)

A friend, a guru and a brother..

In a corner of the college library, a Data Structures Schaum's Series book was opened and was staring at the ceiling for long time. I was sitting next, seriously drawing something on a paper. "Beautiful eyes”, Shilpa exclaimed. Looking at my drawing, she asked silently, “Whom are you drawing?” I was bit surprised as I didn’t see her coming. “No one in particular”, I said. After finishing my serious work I asked, "Teacher has not come yet"? "She is on half-day leave. Nobody is in the class”. “Then I think I should be going. You are not going home"? "Yeah, in the evening. By college bus", she said, and resumed reading a giant book, as I left the library. I have been waiting for a chance to go out early. I caught a transport bus which was going to Thampanoor. It wasn't crowded. I got myself a comfortable window seat. I looked at my drawing again and closed my eyes, feeling the wind. "Beautiful eyes," I recalled Shilpa...

I woke up with a dream, that I saw a beautiful smile. It whispered like I felt she was kissing on my cheek. I closed my eyes tight to see her smile again. What's special in it that makes me forget myself? I feel awake at night while everyone is at sleep. I walked along the trees where I saw her dance ahead. I hid behind a tree and grabbed her hands with love. She looked frowned at first and smiled when I let her go. I saw the beautiful things my eyes could ever see, I hugged her close to me and wished I never wake up.
