Complicated..Part IX

The following day Priyanka and Rishab were at Rishab's place for the lab assignment.No one else was home,so Rishab was in the kitchen preparing snacks for them.While he was away,she casually picked up a notebook lying on his bed. As she glanced through it,she noticed it contained a lot of  unintelligible scribblings. Just so characteristic of Rishab,Priyanka thought amused. But a few scribblings caught her eye.She squinted her eyes to make out what they said.Those were enough to handcuff her attention and put it under arrest. "Why does...

Complicated..Part VIII

You could just stare at her and fall in love.Perfectly full pink lips.A cute nose which was just a tad too big for her face.Her complexion was like golden-yellow cream with a pinkish strawberry tinge.The top of her nose merged beautifully into her forehead and spread its wings in the form of long perfectly formed black eyebrows.They seemed to have been painted by an artist with undying love and patience.And just below her eyebrows was the exquisite set of eyes which surpassed the artist's delightful creations in their beauty.Two black pearls,two...

Complicated..Part VII

Bad stuff has gotta be magnetic in nature.It attracts others like itself.The upsetting result of its magnetic charm is that too many unpleasant things gather together to knock on one's door all at once.And right now,Rishab's door was almost being knocked off from its hinges. As if all the mess concerning Priyanka and Suyash was not enough to keep his hands full!!To top that,Megha was starting to wonder why Rishab was suddenly growing so concerned about his "former girlfriend". Megha had a very simple approach to the problems of her fellow-beings.Leave...

"Suyash,a word with you!"Rishab was deadly earnest as he approached Suyash in the canteen,on the Monday afternoon following the events at the multiplex on Friday. "Yeah?"Suyash raised his eyebrow.It  made Rishab's skin crawl. "Lay your f**king hands off Priyanka,do you hear me?"cried out Rishab as he pointed an angry finger at him."I heard all about the two-timing shit you are trying to pull on her at the multiplex that day.Yeah.I was there too.Now listen to me damn seriously.Just stay the f**k out of her life.Or else.." Rishab's pointed...

Complicated..Part V

One month later Rishab was wondering for the tenth time that month if having someone to call your girlfriend was really worth it.The financial implications seemed pretty disheartening.He had been going out with Megha for roughly four and a half weeks and he was already down one grand.He was only a computer engineering student,damn it,not a computer engineer.Yet. Multiplex Silver Class had already eaten away 240 rupees from his wallet.Plus popcorn.And the movie wasn't making it any easier.Just why on earth should someone shell out 120 rupees per...

Author's note:Please read Parts 1 to 3 before reading this.....Thanks:-) There are two kinds of guys in college.The ones women notice and the ones they don't.Till last Monday,Rishab used to occupy the last benches of female attention.But he was now steadily moving to the front-row.Just as planned,Gayatri had ensured that the breaking news concerning him and Pri had become the talk of the college.Gals were starting to wonder what Pri had seen in him,and Pri was disseminating that information after only a slight prodding to anybody who asked. She...

Complicated-Part III

Images were flashing through Priyanka's mind. First semester She was down with jaundice and Rishab completed all the lab assignments for her.Without her even asking him to. Second semester "I can't believe you'd stoop to this,Rishab." The Engineering Graphics professor stared at him angrily. "I'm extremely sorry,sir," Rishab said in an apologetic tone,his head hung down.'It'll never happen again." "There will be consequences,Rishab.Trying to pass someone else's assignments as your own is a serious misconduct," the professor said in a grave...

The bombs we all carry

A one megaton nuclear bomb can engulf everything within a 100 square miles.in a deadly mushroom of flame.But a single ton of hurt expectations weighing down the heart can do much worse. The bomb will wipe you off the face of the earth,but your stupid hopes will wipe the smile off yours.And you will have to live with it. While the fancy talk of dreaming big to make it big might sound all hunky-dory,reality is always about managing expectations.Yours and that of others.There frankly is no escape.It's as important as eating,drinking, and sleeping.Wish...

Piss-ces of thoughts

A truly hot gal looks sexy even sans makeup.She proved it to me yesterday night in the station.There she was walking as straight as an arrow,like royalty,except her entourage was missing.I would have gladly become her entire entourage,had she just smiled and asked.;-) On a completely unrelated note,station urinals are smelly.Train urinals even more so.Everyone's urine can't be that smelly.I fancy just as one rotten apple infects every other apple in the basket with its rottenness,one smelly urine has a similar influence on the others in the urinal.Talk...
