A child's World.







Aamir - A young banker in early thirties.Recently married.
Ayesha - An young woman and Aamirs wife.Working with an IT major.
Sharon - a kid who loves to play
Riz - a kid who loves to play

Friday evening.The worlds retiring home.Some to loved ones.Some to friends.Some heading nowhere.Aamir was one of them.
Aamir is a young banker.An MBA grad from a reputed college.Drawing a handsome salary.Drives a sedan.Dines at expensive places.Travels five star.Pays his bills on time.A good looking handsome guy with an equally hot and intelligent wife.And yes he is married for 2 years now.
Ayesha is in her late twenties.An engineering grad.A perfect example of beauty with brains.Soft spoken.Tender attitude.Ambitious yet humble.Yes she loves shopping and possesses credit cards !

A trivial issue led to a mjor fallout between the two.They wernt meeting eyes.Aamir handled his clients really well;Ayesha her codes.Neither could handle their lives though.

The sky were overcast since morning.It started to drizzle at around day break.Aamir had returned from office early today.He walked towards the kids playing arena and sat quietly on a bench.The rain drops wernt steady.Theybounced off his linen grey suit. 
"You aint stupid...are you?" Sharon remarked at  watching Aamir getting wet with his formals on.
"Ayesha has left home.We had a fight.I dont wanna go home."
"You really stupid now"
"Hows that?"
"I fight with Riz always.Dont cry with my uniform on!"
"Riz your boyfriend?"
"He was till this morning.He called me stupid.I sort of dumped him."
"You called Ayesha stupid by any chance that she left you?"
 Ayesha had taken out the new sedan for a drive.She was a novice.Out on the road suddenly a kid came in front of her car.She tried to save the kid and smashed agaisnt a wall.Heavy damage was caused.Aaamir got furious after seeing this and yelled at Ayesha.
"You donno how to drive.Why did you go out without the driver.You stupid woman."Aamir would not listen to anything.
Ayesha left the house.Crying.

Today is their anniversary.Ayesha wanted to take Aamir out for a drive.She had been practicing hard for it.She did not take the driver along to keep things a secret. 
"I did call her stupid Sharon !"
"Hey Sharon you aint stpid enuf.I got these chocs for you." Riz handed them over to her and planted a sof kiss on her cheek.Sharon was surprised to see Riz.Sharon blushed and ran away.
Aamir was moved at the simplicity of the kids and their subtle ways of making up.
"Hey Ayesha you aint stupid enuf.I got these chocs for you,"he handed them over to her and planted a soft kiss on her cheek.Will you drive me around?"
Ayesha was surprised to see Aamir.She blushed and hugged him.She quietly took the cars keys from Aamirs pocket and started the car.They went for a drive.

Date with One Zero Zero

"Stand Down ....Stand Down.... ." a sharp tone swept across across all walkie talkies held by the cops. It was near 2 AM on the Christmas eve.The cops had been on duty throught the day.Huge forces were deployed.The "Stand Down" order brought some relief.Everyone started to disperse. "Avik what about dinner?Come lets enjoy the Christmas eve with few rounds of Scotch.Game young man?" the Additional SP said these light heartedly to Avik. "Oh thank you sir ; please carry on." "As you wish young man,Merry Christmas" Avik was an Inspector with the Police force.In his late twenties,dedicated to his work,soft spoken and has  lately started putting on weight at wrong places.However he always longed a physique of a Spartan !As the jeep of Additional SP sped past,Avik courted a salute and proceeded to his chamber inside the police station.He had just lit a cigarette that a commotion broke outside followed by a girl who dashed inside his c

Memories in March

Image
It had been a long day.Pushy clients,quarter end pressure and infinite abuse combined to form a cocktail in Avik's head.The drive to home either has not been pleasant.Clogging at various junctions in the city.In one of the junctions read a digital sign board with date and temperature."12th March, 36 deg C ". A quick freshening up.Then what?After pondering for quite sometime decided to hit the pool.It has been almost a decade and a half that Avik went swimming. The evening breeze blowing gently.The pool was on the roof top.Few more high rises besides.The horizon is still red but darkness has engulfed.Lights from the neighboring high rises falling on the water and diffusing in a blissful orchestra.The water seemed to wash off the sun rays still on his skin. Avik was still in the water.From what seemed from there was a solitary figure on the farther side of the pool.He could not see clearly from the distance but could make out it was a girl.Somewhat skinny,curly dark hair

From Russia with love

The Bronze Horseman is an equestrian statue of Peter the Great in Saint Petersburg, Russia - my city ," Magdalia narrated sipping from her coffee mug shifting gaze to the person sitting in front of her.She responded to the person after he pointed out that the Buddha statue of the Hussain Sagar is the largest monolithic rock statue in the world. The statue is now one of the symbols of Saint Petersburg, in much the same way that the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of New York City. The statue's pedestal is the enormous Thunder Stone, the largest stone ever moved by man. The stone originally weighed about 1500 tonnes, and was carved down to 1250 tonnes during transportation to its current site. "Your English accent is too good for a Russian," Akhil commented fumbling with his hand cuffs and changing posture sitting a bit upright. I was born and brought up in Virginia,US to a Russian mother and an American father.Quite a fairytale aint it? Magdalia is a la
