A story of a friend..by a friend...

“Hello” said Mridul in sleepy voice; the holidays had made him lethargic.

“Hey! Mridul, guess who is on the line” it was Kanishka, as fresh as the morning.

“Hey Kanu! Sorry I was still sleeping, but you look quite fresh” he was little surprised by her call.

“I wake up at 7oclock every day, not like you fatty” giggled Kanu.

“That’s why you are too gorgeous sweet heart. So, why did the queen call her servant?” flirting as usual.

“Nothing dear…I was getting bored, so thought let’s talk to you and plan an outing”

“Where ma’am? It will be an honor to be your personal guide.” ‘Butler’ could have been his new career.

“Let’s go to Worlds of wonder. Just you and me…” Kanishka paused for a second deliberately.

“Wow just you and I” Mridul nearly jumped out of bed.

“And our friends…off course” chuckled Kanishka.

“Alright ma’am, as you say. Then let me just freshen up and talk to others. Bye dear. “ he felt little ashamed about what he did few seconds ago.

“Bye Mridul” and the conversation ended.

Mridul called his dear friends and persuaded them for the picnic. Prateek were excited about the idea and didn’t take much time to get in act. Parth was not willing to come. Mridul was also excited about it and more about something else.

"Prateek Bhai, Ask Parth to come na. You know why he is required to be there" Prateek understood what Mridul wanted to say.

Prateek had always been a go to person for Mridul. Though he used to speak a lot but was nice at heart. They shared a nice bonding. It might be because of similar mentality or might because they shared a similar post in college. Prateek took the lead to talk to Parth and he succeeded in his task.

After having an oil soaked breakfast, of Aloo Parantha and Butter Mridul was ready to depart when his father interrupted him.

“Mridul when will you get serious about your career? What have you decided about giving second chance to IIT and AIEEE?” His father was concerned about slipshod attitude of his son.

“Dad can we talk about this later, don’t wanna spoil my mood and day thinking about this…bye” He dashed out of home and felt relieved inhaling fresh air....

The ghost from the girlfriend's past

Image
The training was going ‘miserably’ fun, as it was my first time hands on experience on a colour Television. After getting back from the factory, I was sweating excessively in gym. I was tired to hell and the walk to my home back was looking like never ending. Finally I reached my home and the body ache forced me to skip my dinner (first in my lifetime!) and go to my bed with full throttle AC. ******** “Mrigank actually I can’t give you my number...umm...I mean my parents don’t like me talking to boys. I am sorry.” said a beautiful voice, the person I had big crush on. “Yeah! It’s OK no problem. So how can we be in contact after school?” I asked after a little embarrassment. “We can be in contact through mails. It’s fun...I mean the anxiety of expecting a reply and then replying with a smile on. By the way, why didn’t you have lunch? Do you really take our fight that seriously?” she was playing my mind but that was a sweet feeling. “Ya, you are a friend of mine ra...

The girl with the blonde hair

‘I have seen that girl somewhere…but where?’ The thought crossed my mind at the middle of the road that joined Chawri Bazaar with Nayi Sadak; the “Biggest book fair of Delhi” (sic). I was already distracted by that girl in white. I felt something pulling me towards that girl. I placed my books in my bag and marched towards her. Me: Hi! I have seen you somewhere but where I don’t remember. Girl: Hey Mrigank! You haven’t change since school time. Me: Ya perhaps but you have changed a lot. That much that I couldn’t recall your name…sorry Girl: It’s me Amrita duffo. Me: ‘Why do girls use such words for men’ I thought…OH! Hi Amrita (I had a deep crush on her in school time and the pink cheeks were glorifying the same) what have you done with your hair? Amrita: Just a small experiment. The conversation continued for half an hour before she felt thirsty. God knows what happened to me, I quickly took out the water bottle I was carrying. ‘Shit Mrigank, Not again’ my mind was t...

Happiness that stays forever

Image
I was enjoying my day off from training due to excessive heat. I was online on FB as usual and I was as usual dreaming about high paid jobs after a MBA degree which I was hoping to pursue after my B.Tech.   The life is certainly an amalgam of dreams and the reality and the one who knows the correct ratio of the two can always succeed. My dreams are never ending and so instead of dreaming, I chose to download official guide of GMAT for reading, when suddenly a notification flashed on my desktop “Someone added a new photo: “My best birthday J “. Instantly my hand went on that notification to see what it’s like to call your birthday the best.    There were around 20-24 pictures and that smile on every person’s face that could be seen in the photographs told me enough that why it is the best birthday. The smile was content and full of what...umm...emotions that it seemed like that someone have won the whole world. I realised one thing that day, happiness is not...
