........A Splendour At Night.........

"Ha this bus sucked my last ounce of blood have to refresh myself",I heaved a seigh of relief as I headed towards my destiny i.e., my home.Beep Beep "Going to be a new bond tonight.Careful dude",my mobile phone beeped once."Huh this corporate mobile companies doesn't have any work at any point of time.Always delivering useless alerts.Hmmm wait a minute "going to be a new bond" oooo sounds gr8".I was on my way to refresh myself at a snacks stor."Bhaiyya ek plate pani poori do"a local slang to the snacks store person.I found a girl just beside me eating something.I thot abt my mobile alert.Fyn for da first tym the mobile alert is going to be true.I finished eating and just tried to follow her to make the mobile company feel proud abt deir about their alerts.

"Heyaa wait a moment please",I screamed as I reached her."Wat" a sarcastic reply from her but not a bad start."Can I have a walk with you",I sounded a little formal."Hmmmm this road belongs to the government I hope",she rushed without my reply."Okay wats your name",less fromal this time."Well Iam Sandhya.Working for Infosys,drawing 30k per month.Is this enuff for you",a harsh reply i thot."Im Anand Sastry shortly Nandu.Hi",I raised my hand towards her to have a shake.She looked at me and folded her hands to put a traditional namaskaar."Ohh gr8 you seem to be orthodox right",I said in a promoting tone."Yeah" a one liner from her."Can you sound a little bit modern",I asked her."Abt wat",she gave an instant reply."Your name seems little out of place to infosys",I added flavour to the conversation."Should I rejuvenate it"she said as both of crossed the signal."Well there is no harm in being modern right",I said trying to use my GRE skills."Right then im Sandy",little useful reply.Wow Nandu weds Sandy the names are matched and rhyming too I thot in my mind.

"Shall we exchange some more info",I asked with some hope."Fine wat do u do",she took the initiative for the first time."Me.Iam a Graduate trying to grab an opportunity from the IT industry",I replied in a well struck mode."It seems dat you are searching hard",she is trying to concentrate on me I hope.Well my wish is fulfilled a bit I thot in mind."Well now that u r working for a top most IT company in India you know everything about US economy and the downfall of IT companies now a days right",I used my G.K this time trying hard to impress her through."Not much you may try better rather than worrying about US economy which is not at all related to us",she is getting more n more interested on me hmmm great."Let it be.Do u watch movies",now I replied trying to share my interests."Rock On Hey yeah waqt kaa ishaaraa.I hope I luv this song and movie very much",she replied.I felt lil excited and said "Wow I too just liked the movie and song.Seems that we are like minded.Gud Gud",I promoted the conversation meanwhile we overcame by a biker(Is dat the proper word).

He stopped a bit forward from us.The girl with whom I was talking just crossed me and climbed the bike.She replied "Fine Nandu this is my hubby Varun.He too works for Infosys and my colleague too.We had a trouble with petrol a lil earlier so he rushed leaving me alone.Nice meeting you Nandu"."Then wat abt me.I thot we are like minded",I sounded lil dull loosing my hope."Well thats wat one opts wen u care abt useless things like US economy and me.Be more productive in your work dude.Adiosssssss",she left waving a hand to me.

Beep Beep"Stop pestering about broken bond.Sort out new"
Bloody Hellllllllllllllllllllll...........................

The train(Sum journeys r worth more)

The train is passing by.I cant divert my attention from her thats the impact she had on me with in a short span.Occassionally i looked out of da window but da nature seemed pretty unusual coz im sitting infront of an angel.The journey continued and a station named "Rajahmundry" came and i got down to have a break.I was standing near a higgin bothoms stall lookin at a novel of my favourite author.Iam so amazed about da prologue of da novel dat i cant even hear da announcement of train leavin da station.As soon as i sensed da departure of train i was on my foot towards train running in a hurry.The door is just two foot away from me but i cant hold it.I tried to scream for a help but to my utter ashtonishment i found a hand coming towards me for help.I was thinking dat dis hand would be the girl's hand(Had a dream duet also ) but surprised to see a guy after gettin in to da train and thanked him for his help.I went to my berth n tried to continue my luv story.


The man who gave me his hand to me for help is sitting opposite to both of us( i mean girl and me).I was getting da feeling dat i've seen him somewhere.After a short while i recognised him as my schoolmate Gopi who used to be an average student in our class ofcourse im also the same.At first i think he was going to attend any interview somewhere in chennai,but i saw a young lady 22 years of age sitting beside him.Finally thought dat they r run away couple and wanted to know about them.I went to him and asked how r u and do u recognise me.He said oh ya"how can i forget you.U r da one whom i used to admire most in my childhood".I was so impressed by dat compliment.With dat i thought i can ask him about her.He replied "she is my wife,And we r going to vijayawada to get help from my father's friend.I think there will be any job there".I was surprised to see dat his wife was pregnant in such a short age.


Meanwhile the girl whom i was seeing got engaged with his wife and they r talking like a good friends.I was again tryin to look at da girl but thought dat it would be better to make a conversation with her after tha couple will leave da train.I found my friend gopi talking with someone in his mobile,after a little while he came and asked me"hey john would u please gimme ur mobile coz i ran out of time with my mobile".I replied "oh sure please go ahead"and gave him my mobile.He took da mobile and gave me after sumtym.After a one and half hour journey da couple r nearing their destination i.e., vijayawada.I was trying to trying to take a short nap,but woke up hearing a large scream from Gopi's wife.I asked Gopi wats da matter he said that the chain worn by his wife was lost.His wife was crying about the chain Gopi said to me "Hey john this chain is wat im going to sell and get money to get a job.But now its lost how can i get a job without money.
Anything in dis world is linked with money".By saying these words he burst out of tears.I felt pity for him and gave him my number to call me if he needs any help (felt little guilty that im trying to execute supremacy over him).The station came and Gopi thanked me and said dat "i will call if i need any help" and left da trian with his wife.


It took me another half an hour to get out of dat situation.To divert my mood i tried to chat with that girl.She also showed intrest and we both r talking.I found a chain in her hand and asked her how much it costs.She said "i dont know.May be ur friend Gopi knows".I was terribly ashtonished hearing those words.I asked her "are u a theif"she replied "im a graduate and an unemployee.I did not stole it from gopi's wife.When they r about to leave da train i found this chain lying down my berth.Still they r in da train but i did not reveal it to them".


I asked her " why you have done like dis.I thought you as an angel in my first impression.But now i believe dat "appearences are deceptive".I thought that she will be deeply hurt by listening these words and gives me an apology.But she spoke softly"Everyone in dis world needs money for their existence.I need this chain to get money for my father's heart operation in chennai.I never tried to cheat anyone.But im not the one to loose any opurtunity that costs my father's life".I opposed her that"But this money would help Gopi and his wife in their search towards a job.So wat do u say about that".
She said "In this world if anyone needs to be happy then his neighbours must be hurt otherwise how on earth would a person be happy.Let us take an example of Gopi.If he sells dis chain he would get money and obtain job.But dis job he got not out of his worth.There r so many worthy people other than Gopi to obtain dat job.Its da money which made dis thing to happen.He's happy becoz the persons who r not selected for da job r unhappy.Thats it"

.....................Once upon a time...............

There lived two soldiers namely tom and john.Both of them
r very good friends.Tom is younger and john is older.Everyone in their
group thought as if dey r brothers.Tom always fascinated about john in
every operarion he had with him.He was so much influenced by john dat
he always follows wat john had done in da operation.Tom always praised
john,but he never tried to succeed like john in riffle shooting or
anything else.Often John warned tom to be attentive in da war field
and asked him not to follow him blindly.

But tom knew nothing other than following his friend's work.In
times people in millitary force blamed john not to make tom like a
blind follower of john.But john could do nothing as he also liked tom
and he cannot say to tom "Dont follow me".As da time passed by john
became more n more successful in his operations and Tom still in da
least position as he always praised his friend's mettle but never
tried to work hard like his friend.Time is running and in a short span
tom and john along with their group had to face a crucial warfare with
their rival country named xxxx.


Participating in a war requires so much of skill and strong grip
over da weapons.In da war 3/4th of john's group died.However John a
great riffle shooter managed to save his life from da enemy but tom
who praised john in every act could not do so.When his enemies
attacked him Tom is unable to fire even a bullet at them coz he knew
nothing other than praising John.Finally tom got attacked by his enemy
soldiers and had to give his soul.John still cant believ da fact dat
tom died because john himself is responsible for every act of
tom.Mercenaries remained in da team blamed john dat due to john's
influence on tom,tom died.By hearing these words john took up a sword
and finally remaining people saw his head sepearated from his body
lying on da ground.
