Love Letters

Kudrat So, finally your book is going to be launched. Thank God I don't have to go through the reading and re-reading of the manuscript. I can relax now. By the way I think you should pay me as I've been not only the 1st and the loyal reader but also an amazing contributor (winks). Anyways I was kidding. I'm so proud of you and don't be nervous about the launch, though I know you're on the verge of having a panic attack. So just relax and have a blast at the launch. Do inform me as soon as you're done with it. Take Care. Bye. Abhay. The alarm woke me up and after turning it off I grabbed my cell. A mail was waiting for me and I knew it who would it be from. I hurriedly went through the contents and couldn't stop myself from smiling. Even though it was early still I got up and went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee for myself. After settling cozily in my rocking chair with a cup of coffee in my hand I went through the mail once again and replied bac...

          "It's 'cos of you that today I'm of no good. I told you that I wanted to do MBA, but no you wanted me to be a teacher so here I am... dissatisfied and frustrated and you are the reason behind it. From the beginning you knew that I had some talent in writing but you didn't even let me hon that. All were you concerned was about me getting married. I just have too many regrets from life itself and you are the reason for all of them."           Lying on the bed I tried to visit the memory lane of the events happened a few months ago. Even though today, I am working as an Assistant Professor in one of the reputed university and have a maiden entry of my paper in a National Journal and waiting for the publication in an International Journal, still I had or you can say have numerous regrets that would need at least a day to finish. however, the only difference in between me and I think the res...

                                                         It was freezing but, then you don’t expect Kashmir to be warm and sunny during the month of December. I had always an unexplained fascination for this place. Though I had never been here but I had promised myself that once in my life to celebrate the beginning of the most beautiful period of my life I would come here with my better half. So, here I was. The commencement of the trip was not as I had expected. I wanted to surprise my wife by showing her the honeymoon tickets of Kashmir. I even did that. But rather than feeling elated she drew a face and tried to convince me with every molecule present in her to change my decision. However, for a change I conv...

          Diu always fascinated me. Today, when I’ve visited Diu after 6 years it still fascinates me like it did when I came here for the first time. I and my friends decided to relax our brains after our first semester in IIM-A ended. We couldn’t fancy going to Goa because of financial reasons so chose to treat ourselves in Diu with lots of cheap alcohol. While lazing on the Chakratirath Beach, I saw her for the first time.       We were having fun, playing in the water like we have hailed from drought areas of Rajasthan. The geeks for the first time got a life apart from books and notes. Beach, beer and lots of other captivating things. What more could we ask for? Amidst of this deafening noise she was sitting on the sand and was looking at the vast beach like… like trying to know what secrets it held. I came back to the shore on the pretext of being tired. She had the most beautiful big black eyes I had ever seen. Somehow her ...
