As I walked into my hostel room I was greeted by a poster,

“ Visitors Welcome.. enter At your own risk.”

And there was Tom standing with all his armoury waiting for Jerry. As I peeked in I saw a bearded guy. He was about five feet six, fair with an atheletic build. But what caught me most was his expressive big eyes. [...]

“I’m breaking up with Diptish,” I announced, at the green light staring down at me dimly, at Sammy’s withered yellow walls, at whoever was there to listen. And Sammy answered, “You don’t deserve to be stood up, Trina, or lied to, or passed up for something else. You are meant to wear your purple dress [...]

It was already too late for the class. No use….she thought. I’d better sit in the library and get a good afternoon nap. Sleeping in the horrible hostel dormitory…..it made her head ache and throb…all seven nights she had slept there, she had passed hours together…listening to the different snoring sounds each girl made….interrupted by [...]

Sometime back, there was a very interresting article on Bong-Buzz. However, due to some weird reason, everyone seems to have missed it.

Sammy- D and Nob’s best friend, who had become an integral part of the classic rock resounding [...]

“Let’s see, where was I then? Ah I remember…the girl! She was dark, was a wee bit plump…..and had disobedient curly locks that fell all around her rather roundish face often blocking her bespectacled vision.

“Where are you?  But you said you were at the Metro station 15 minutes ago! I’ve already bought our tickets. No, no, I’m not going in without you. Yes, ok, I’m waiting. Hurry up.” I was waiting outside the theatre, movie tickets in hand. The movie had started 5 minutes ago. We had planned for [...]

My father had been a chronic smoker for 29 years- 7 years of dating my mother and another 22 years of marriage. In these 29 years my mother had tried everything from tears to emotional blackmail to banging her head against the wall (there are 8 stitches on her head to show for it) to [...]

She began…..in a dreamy voice…… “A long long time ago,” then she stopped and chuckled…. “Well not that long time ago, there lived a girl who was going far away from her home to study. She didn’t want to go, obviously, but her parents coaxed and cajoled her into going there, saying it was her [...]
