Conversation between Boy and Girl ( Not a romantic conversation though)


"Excuse me, I don't want to sound like a stalker, but I have seen you somewhere" he said.
She inspected him from top to bottom. It was evident from her facial expression that he was not in her league at all, with the firm composure in her voice she replied, "If this is the way to approach girls, then I believe you are not good at it. However if you are genuine then I can assure you that we haven't crossed one another’s path before."

He said, "That was a way long answer than I have expected. As a matter of fact, it was genuine and if I have to approach you, I would have chosen a better place"

She shrugged him off, “Whatever, I have a boyfriend"
He looked at her face again and smirked" Oh really, I don't think so"

“Why" his reply got her attention again. 
 
He continued " It is 9 o’clock in the night, I see you waiting for the bus from the last fifteen to twenty minutes, any chivalrous man would have showed up by this time, besides that you wouldn't have to be in queue"

She was impressed by his response but she didn’t want him to give any room for further conversation" Hmmmm, good deduction, but I am still uninterested."

He was not deterred by her disinterest.  He said “It was never about being interested in you, believe me, I was standing over there for a while, trying to recall where I had seen you and now I do remember, indeed I have seen you before " having said that, he took out his phone from his pocket and unlocked it after which he indicated towards the video gallery in it.

She was in grim despair; awestruck, she was gawking at him for a few seconds. She broke eye contact, swung her arm and was about to bash him but she could not. Perhaps her own disgrace prevented her.  She broke the queue, took long strides and called for an auto-rickshaw.

He was still standing in the queue, gawking at her as she distanced from him.  He opened his mobile, went to his video gallery and deleted the video titled "Chandni ka mms.3gp".


*********************************************************************************
She sat in the auto-rickshaw, still aghast and outraged by his audacity to approach her and remind her of the most ignominious part of her life. Something which she had buried over the timeline and moved forward. She returned to her room and had dinner with her roommate, she didn’t let the latter know of anything wrong with her. Once she was alone in her room, she went to google and saw that her dark part of the life is still alive in the internet. While crying, she was repeatedly going through her conversation with the guy met her in the bus stop. She was not able to figure out the motive behind his audacious approach. Then suddenly something struck her mind. “Something is not right" she murmured under her breath. She opened her Galaxy Note and went to the Whatsapp group called “Gang of Rockstars”. She flipped through old messages and found the video titled " Chutiya was stripped off and beaten.3gp". She clicked on the play button and saw the same guy running naked and crying like a baby in the hostel corridor.



After few weeks


“Hey, I don't want to sound like a desperate girl, but I have seen you somewhere" she said and she was indicating towards her mobile.


He smiled and so did she.


Sometimes plight of each other brings people closer than anything else.

Story Title : Dal, Rice and Roti ( With Message)

When first time dal was made, both Rice and Roti were overjoyed. They saw their soul mate in Dal. Dal was yellow in color and it was soft and tender, Rice and Roti both wanted to be wrapped by Dal, hence a fierce competition between rice and roti had started. In order to make an everlasting impression on Dal, both had started to crown jewel on their body. Once rice rolled himself in Jeera, and presented himself in front of Dal but soon he found out that roti was also not far behind as roti sunk himself in Ghee. Rice stepped up the game and presented himself in various forms, sometimes he becomes Pulav, sometimes he covered himself in masala and become biryani but every time roti leveled him with its ornaments as Tandoori Naan, Butter Kulcha and Roomali roti. 


Dal was impressed by both of them, sometimes she fell for rice and sometimes her feeling grew stronger for roti. Dal was in a dilemma. It is easy to choose between good and evil but choosing between the two good is always difficult. Eventually one day Dal called both of them, requested them to sit in her house. Once they were comfortable, Dal spoke “look, I know both of you want to know my decision, but choosing one of you over other would be injustice to the other one"
Both of them were at their edge, all they wanted to know the name of the winner.
Dal continued “besides that, my feeling is same for both of you, I am in love with both of you "
Both were bemused and were confused but they were at least happy to know that she loves them.  They let her continue.

After a brief pause to let them grasp this knowledge she spoke again "hence I have decided to follow the old tradition of polyandry and I would like to accept both of you as my soul mates”
Since that day onwards Dal, rice and roti are together and their existence feed millions of people.

On 16 Oct 2015, Dal Prices skyrocket to almost 200 Rs per Kg,


The above exorbitant price had forced poor to separate Dal from her soul mates and her spouses were eaten alone with bunch of onions and chili at various places.  We request Government to let Dal meet her soul mates in Thali of the poor people again. As the Dal, rice and roti are made for each other.

Short Scary Stories

Last time when I  opened this page, it was 2010; it’s been five years since I have posted anything. Recently I came across this question in Quora.com: What are some of the short stories?
Here is my answer: 
  1.  He leaned forward and saw his lover’s body falling down from the cliff, he could not muster the courage to jump after her, until he hears her voice “what are you waiting for, honey?”
  2. She applied her make-up, put blusher on her checks, glossed her lips and while watching herself in the mirror said “don’t I look damn hot?” She smiled, turned around and switched off the lights and left the room.  In the silence of the room, a voice echoed “Yes, you are.”
  3. He was working on his laptop when his son came back early at home from school; he looked at him and said “aren't you supposed to be at school now.” His son said “Dad I don’t want to talk about that, I want to be at home” and he went inside his room. His dad was about to scold him when his phone rang. He picked up the call; spoke to them for a Min. After that he went inside his son’s room and said “Son, stay here as long as you want to stay” and he came out of the room. He called them back again and said “I am coming to school to collect my son’s body.”
  4. He made the portrait of Van Helsing with his famous gas operated automatic crossbow. Next morning his parents were found dead on the bed and their body was pierced by the crossbow.
  5. He finished his story based on Dracula and slept through the night. Next morning he found a note “I don’t like the story, I am the protagonist, not the villain.” He is struck with horror as he lives alone from the past many years.
  6. After picking up his clothes from the floor, he kept 5000 Rs on the bed, gave her a look of satisfaction and left the room. As he came out, a woman tapped on his shoulder and said “how did you get in, isn't it close from the last one year.”
  7.  A man’s shadow was falling down on the pavement when he was having tea at CafĂ© Corner. He finished his tea and walked away however his shadow was still having tea.
  8.   As soon as the Head of the Pirates asks the Captain of the Vessel “Prince” to call his office, one pirate comes hurriedly to the captain’s cabin and conveys the message “There is no crew on the ship.” Head of the Pirates was aghast and horrified. And Captain? Like he said “there is no crew.”
  9.  He drew out his sharp double edged knife and placed it on her neck while she was still resting on the bed after a good session of delectation. He said “It’s going to be over soon baby, you are going to be my ninth victim.” Instead of being frightened, she smiled and said “How ironic, you are going to be my ninth victim too.”
  10.  My dog is very loyal to my wife, he sits beside her when she watches television and he wiggles his tail whenever she pats him on his head. Strangely, he is still doing the same even after she passed away.
  11. My wife went to our kid’s room and found out that our kid was sleeping by the side, facing away from her; she caressed his head and covered him with quill. She came out of the room and heard a voice from kitchen; she went to the kitchen and saw that her kid was eating cornflakes. We have only one kid.
