The bus pulled in to my stop and I heaved a sigh (of relief maybe). I looked for the nth time at the address and in the rearview mirror of a car, (presumably theirs) and practised my opening statements… Obviously, I did not want to goof up this time… I went up to the door and halted [...]

So there I was, with the girl of my dreams, and she was making a mess of my dreams… I never was good at handling crying women. Still, I decided to take the plunge… “C’mon! Don’t take that to heart! I was merely saying things that I didn’t really mean to… I mean I did mean them, [...]

I hadn’t met anyone in a long, long time. As a result, it was but natural that for my parents to resort to that famous pestering line of theirs – “You should meet up with them, they are a good family. Moreover, it is their room that you are living in! When are you going [...]

I don’t [...]

“Why do men smoke”, was popular question with all my girlfriends when I used to be on a date. Most of us would have laughed it off, or at the most cleverly changed the topic to something else something more interesting as her dad’s daily routine (yeah, only, it remains interesting until the day of [...]

He had the face of an injured puppy, the kind that melts human hearts and I had a meeting to attend. Not able to withstand the squished-emotions-face any more, I (quite reluctantly) went up to him and sat beside him, afraid he would start (what he thought was) the only topic left in the world. “She [...]

He was waiting eagerly at the door, though not for me, it would seem from the expressions on his face. Constantly checking his wrist-watch and his wall clock he seemed to be in a hurry, wanting to head off, somewhere or maybe… nowhere. Anyways, more than courtesy, it was curiosity that prompted me to ask, “Expecting [...]
