Chapter 23- Why?

“I saw someone kiss me in my dreams and you know who it was !!Guess!!” “Wait!! Manav!  Is it?” Deepali asked. Sikha nodded her head silently. She felt shy and embarrassed at the same point in time. She knew she had to face him again this morning and things will not be easy and she…

Chapter 18- Reality served in different flavors!

‘A friend in need is a friend indeed…certainly not in today’s time. Today a winner is someone who wins, who gets promoted, who gains, who is rich, who has it all even though they sabotage the interest of others. In this rat race who has the time to bother about the one who stumbles; who…

Chapter 17- Shhhh! Quiet pls!

Chapter 12- Lost & Found

Sikha’s voice was almost shaking and Deepali had never seen Sikha in a panic ever before. It was always Sikha who had been making Deepali cheerful and when there was a role reversal, she had no idea what needed to be done. People who are always there for others, seem to find none when they…

Deepali looked at the wall clock. It was about 9:30 pm and Prakash had still not arrived home after his four days office tour! Lost in her thoughts, Deepali went into the room to check on Ayush who had already fallen asleep. Just then the bell rang and Deepali realized that it was Prakash from…

Chapter 9- Identity Card

Sikha woke up with a heavy head. A nauseous feeling gripped her. There are times when suddenly life ceases to make any sense; when suddenly the void within seems larger than the black hole; when suddenly you can not trust people because they change colors! And Sikha felt all of this together. There was as…
