The Path taken - Chapter 2


My mom was far away from the typical mommies of her age.She was way cooler than one could expect a mom to be. The best thing was that I could conclude where I actually stood, when I talked to her.
And there I was ,packing my stuff in my bag for the next three months in the US.

It's funny,how sometimes even the simplest things need to be seen from someone else's eyes,like a 3D image.We, who are involved in judging the every second person , fail to calculate the associated consequences of our actions.

"Take that red sweater I had sewed for you.It's warm"
"Mom I have already packed 3 sweaters."
"I didn't ask you.Just do it.You don't know how cold that country is"
"Huh!! Ohk fine!"
You can never say NO to your mom.
"And delete his pics and number from your phone.You know you deserved better."
"You checked my phone?!"
"I was just guessing and you sound like my guess is right."
I was dumbstruck.
Moms are unpredictable.
"Oh my Li'l girl, you need to see the big world out there. You never know what's in store for you."
I hugged mom with all my strength.I couldn't have expected more.She was all I needed- a companion, a beautiful therapist, an awesome listener and my best friend.
I dosed off to sleep on her lap that night.

That Brunch! - Chapter 5

Every morning would start with a message from my mommy even though there was a time gap of 10 hours between the US and India. See, Mothers! I always stayed connected to my Mom ; she was the only One I had in this big world ! Though I still anticipated of how he would be walking around , in some part of the world, still his hands in his pocket, brooding over his last night's mischief( he always did)! The world is too small, in terms of the brims of your inferences ; you never know that there may be someone else too ,in the other side, having the same sense of Realization as that of you.But yeah, fate is too monopolizing - it doesn't let you push those brinks and move to that other side ,till you deserve it . That day Daksh didn't come for Lunch, I waited and called him up , but his number was unreachable. So I decided to dine with my  mom  on the Call. I was just about to finish and go back to work when a small girl came up to me with a Note and a bouquet of ch...

The Serendipity - Chapter 6

I left office early that day ! My curiosity was at level N. On my way back home , I kept looking at Pitara's (yeah , the restaurant was near my house) ,with an expectation to catch a glimpse of the person who was going to be my table-partner for the evening ! More than that, there was "chicken" mentioned in that note and Pitara's had the best Indian chicken dishes. A big smile curved up on my face , and I ran upstairs to my flat. At sharp 8 pm, I came down in my daily pajamas, no makeup and my Indian chappals ; I literally looked so bad that I even feared facing the mirror. I was in no intention of being laid  around  by the handsome guy ( if any) . I went up to Pitara's , asked for my table and the receptionist showed me Table no -12. I was shocked, 'cause that was only table at the corner, near the windows where I sat whenever I was at Pitara's. My first thought -  So somebody has been stalking me since I don't know when ?! I was sti...

My new place - Chapter 3

I clicked a lot of pics of the new apartment I had rented, which faced a beautiful garden.The US was cool; not only in terms of the weather, but also in terms of type people residing there- Everyone, known or unknown, would greet you with a smile ! I sent all the pictures to mom,and my mom just asked me one thing , "They have a kitchen,right? Cook yourself.Don't eat outside." I cleaned up the rooms and furnitures  and was just making myself comfortable on bed, when someone rang the doorbell. It was my landlord. I was dumbstruck when I saw a teen of my age standing at the door. "Hello , I am your landlord.Daksh." "Hi!Please come in." I wouldn't lie but I had expected some old aged man. "I am pretty sure that Jasper would have already briefed you about the rent structure and the regulations." Jasper was the one who had showed me the house. "I would just like to add that, you can always reach out to me for any concerns,esp...
