My parents, relatives, and colleagues were amazed at my desire to find a job so soon after returning from Australia. I guess it was because I needed it. Not because I needed the money -- I didn't -- but because I needed to keep myself occupied. I was wooing a girl, and I needed to... Continue Reading →
Is she real?
The day started as most of my days start. It was normal in every sense: woke up at the usual time; did the usual morning routines; and I was on the train, on my way to work. While on the train, I glanced around, and caught sight of a man and a woman holding hands.... Continue Reading →
Missing You
I missed you. But I don't think I'd ever tell you that. I don't want to appear weak. But I missed you.
Living with Her
"Living together is not easy," he told me, while he nibbled away at the chicken in front of him.

That girl he was looking at was what he called the "clubber" type. "Maybe they find me boring," he... Continue Reading →
Reaction Testing
And there he sat, looking at her, wondering if he could tell her what had been residing in his heart for so long. "How would she react?" he thought. "If you've got something to tell me," she said, "just tell me. Don't bottle it up!" This was it. He knew that though his telling her... Continue Reading →
