11 am- Excited “He is landing at 7 and heading to dinner at his sister’s.” - She “Do not tell me that you are accompanying him for dinner!” - Friend “Well, I have explained it to him, that I am not sure to take it to family level so soon. He says it is just a dinner and his family would not mind if I come as a friend.” - She “Yeah.. right! It is more than five years since I crossed my teen-age Babes. Pl do not shit me anymore. You are big enough to handle it, anyways just tell me where you guys planning to go after dinner.” - Friend “That is what I have called for Dumbass.” - She “Okay, hotel rooms would be expensive this time and I, myself have a date, so cannot lend my apartment as well.” - Friend “Crap! Guess we will opt for a night out.” - She “Yeah that would be best as you guys are meeting after a year. You should spend all night together. Go to this Pub downtown, they have coffee etc till 5 am.” - Friend “Yup, that is what I was thinking. I will update you, Chao!” - S

“Another Chance” is indeed a relatable story. The most likable traits of book are its modern backdrop, honest scene upholding and a fast pace. Modern backdrop is of today’s young world where search of love hits late to work-oriented class but it does for sure! Honest scene of very genuine situations and no extremism to pour in any deliberate fiction. A Fast pace which hooks a mere reader like me till 4 am in morning. Yes, I finished in one shot *could not wait for end*. Every reader will identify with at least one incident mentioned in the book. Whether it is being stalked by a nut-head with political links or a geek falling in love with spoiled brat pretty chick or whether it is being today’s culture to get tempted with MBA styled work dynamism and yet hating it. Young lives today are much more independent and aware. This book speaks realistically about youth and their love cravings, their early success and their struggle to strike a balance between work and life. Author

Hi, I am a 29 year old, average looking man. I come from a middle class background though now we are doing well. I have a young sister who is settled with her job in Singapore. My parents are happy and have decided to settle in hometown near Darjeeling. I stay in Delhi and work in Gurgaon. I started my career as a developer and now I am leading a team who calls me Project Manager. I have around 6-7 different friend/social circle. I have been on and off with relationships and one night stands. I was an occasional smoker but now it has increased in recent times. I drink socially and mostly prefer scotch, mild! I was never a shy being. I used to be a talk of town, way back in college. Getting involved with college events, late night parties, hanging out with new chick on the block were standards of living back then. I was a popular in my teachers and professors. In college times, I avoided falling into relationships considering I had a mountain like career and professional life ahead

Okay! This is about school time. Those times when we got promoted from rickshaw rides to self-driven cycle rides. First thought which Naarad-Munied (*Appeared*) in my mind when father sniffed my fake confidence over cycle rides, was that next time I should totally boycott father's evening discussion. Soon he had announced in bhari sabha (full gathering) that my early morning rickshaw rides should be converted to roadies task. Hence I was made to go and buy a bi-cycle. I remember, blindly trusting the cycle shop owner, we picked up the hep cycle of the lot. The Soccer one! Red in color and height which was quiet comparable to me. It gave a feel to onlookers that I am lost Olympic cycle racer in town. So taking it as a challenge, we decided to learn. Crap! As if we had any option. Learning cycling was not big deal. Only thing was just to balance; which we mercilessly lost, sometimes on random uncle's toes or on street dogs. So after spreading terror in neighborhood such a

Among my countable readership, if anybody happens to be a guy, especially who has very weak heart sustainability to words such as Shopping, Discounts, and Sale etc; then you may avoid this post as this is my very serious and true-love-phenomenon take on Shopping spree. As a teenager, I used to collect my pocket-money for days to buy little ear-rings for which my fondness has increased in inverse proportion to the usability of those ear-rings. As the life grew on me ( Details ) I bumped into a realization that there are more weird things in world which were drawing my attention with a greater force as compared to that of subject like Maths and Physics during XII standard science days. I never used to miss an opportunity to shop while accompanying Mother in Market when she is loaded with Cash. Steadily this syndrome was penetrating more and more day by day. College was the time when shopping and buying stuff of all kinds came into full lime light to the world. I still remember those

Expectations & Blindfolded past is all; what you need to make your life hell. Past is surly not relevant but should not be denied or forgotten. A simple 'Present' today often makes expectation without taking note of past farces. This leads to enormous unjustified expectations. A Story for the same. In 80s, guy in early 20s, gets married to a family-arranged girl. He has no clue what to do with her as he has just got over with love of his life whom he could not marry due to 'Of-course' Caste. The Girl comes to new home like a clay. She impresses the crowd and 'Her-Competition' in house stir up issues. She is blamed and husband does not support. She maintains the silence. She is being told about husband's affair before marriage. She takes the letters and put them to fire. She maintains the silence. Years pass. Kids come. Family go nuclear. Husband is bugged with her habits. Fights take place. Fights become physical. Soon it turns into abuse. Brutal
