A gloomy morning


    "Wake up, doofus! C'mon, get freshed up," the croaky voice of Anna startled him from a peaceful, dreamless sleep.
       "Just a little more..." he said, turning on his side.
       " No time. It's our shift today. And saheb will get pissed off if we don't finish in time. Come to think of it, he is always in a foul mood. That big..." Anna started his usual rant against the saheb, again. Prakash jumped down the bunk and stretched. Purple light filtered through the moth-eaten curtain.

To find oneself.

    
      My palms were sweaty. The paper I was clutching tightly in my hands was now moist. I swallowed and took a deep breath.

      'You can do this. You just can. It's easy. It'll all be over in half a minute,' I thought to myself.

      'One and a half,' my brain auto-corrected me.

      'Yeah, well. Damn you too, brain.'

Examination!!! x(

 Examinations. Tests. Two words capable of sending a shiver down any regular student's spine. We all hate them. But there's no escaping from it.The worst thing about exams for me is telling my Mom that the time-table has been put up. Even on normal days, she-- like all other moms-- has to yell at me to study. And I-- like all my peers-- don't do so.

SLAP!!!!!!

       The chairs were neatly arranged for us, the students! A rarity in my school. But then, it's not everyday that you are bade farewell from your school. My mind was on a totally different frequency as the students and teachers gave their speech. I was hearing only snippets of conversations and speeches passing through.

A small assessment of School!


 Out of the many people that I've come across, half say that school life is better than college life, and half say the exact opposite. I myself don't know which one's true.

     But one thing that I know, is that up until tenth, school life is a roller coaster ride! Life is simple and uncomplicated.

The day I killed...


 It was Ramadan. After a hearty Sehri, I lay down to catch some sleep. For two days in a row, I hadn't slept a wink as I was too lazy to complete my homework during daytime.

Mental torture!!!


 It must have occurred to our ancestors, that physical harassment was starting to become very boring and would soon run out of fashion! The great thinkers must have held an intellectual gathering, about this crisis.They must have been in deep thought when,voila!  An idea flashed through one of the bold and imaginative thinkers.  And soon it was to change the fate of their descendants!

Crushed by a crush- a short story

 “Hey, are you even listening to me?” Kamal cried out in exasperation.

“Yeah, mm-hmm,” I replied, still not taking my eyes off her.

   “Dude, she sits right next to you in class. Eat your lunch and snap out of it.”

“Okay, yeah…alright,” I said, not altogether sure of what he was talking about.

  “Oh Holy Father!! Sameer is in LLOOOVVEE!! Sam is in love with--”
