Give PEACE a chance

You are at the airport, at the departure terminal, ready to leave to your destination. Your spouse or a loved one (wife for instance) is on the other side. You can read the pain and sorrow written across her face. Your heart sinks.  The cold, brittle solidified silica (glass) separating the warm feelings and faces [...]

Learning more Baseball: The SECOND base

Not satisfied with the first, we (read I) went for a second helping. I shut my eyes, so as to feel and imagine the experience (moreover I did not have much choice, for, she ran her fingers over my eyes to shut them). This time around I-T was quite passionate and pleasant and very intimate. What [...]

Indian Passport!! Anyone?

A loud shriek, and darkness. I get up, clambering my way to the closest light source I can find. It is pitch black and I have to feel my way to the door. It is barely dawn. I am all set to make the much awaited flight. A long return home. I had kept the [...]

The day after: Friendship day

She called to inform me that Naresh had been admitted to the hospital. He was stricken with malaria. Naresh (my hostel mate during the 1st year) was the 7th victim of some ravaging female anopheles mosquito. The college had not bothered to clean up the hostel surroundings and the malaria had spread like plague. Bhavana [...]

2:00 PM to 5:00 PM

As the bus stop drew closer the awkward feeling attenuated. I asked her what she intended to do over the evening. I did not mention the outing I had worked on, lest she thought me to be corny. This was to be an impromptu event, a dare! So after some deliberation, we agreed to visit [...]

Cooking Her Goose, Tepidly

– Click here to play the music I returned to my flat, (the one I had moved into recently). It was close to college and there wasn’t the restriction of time. The hostel I was staying in earlier had a deadline of 6:00 PM. Just so you know it was a ‘male’ hostel! The deadline [...]

Pièce de résistance

She was not angry with me. Good Gracious! Now what do I do next to take this ‘relationship’ to a WHOLE new level? How do I confirm her feeling for me? This thought bothered over the next few days. And if one is inexperienced in the matters of the heart there is only one thing [...]

The Parting

Any way one day, out of the blue I get a message of a different kind. She said she will not be staying in the PG that night and would also be having dinner outside which meant the texting schedule would be changed for the day. But what was important was that she started confiding [...]
