The main door of house no 24, Alishaan society unlocked as Jay  came back from work. It was 31 st   December and so he had taken short leave from work in order to rest and be ready for the party hosted by one of his colleagues for welcoming the new  year. He kept the keys on the table beside the couch and threw himself on the couch as if his legs have given up. He was just at the boundary and was about to enter the world of peace when the doorbell rang twice. Feeling irritated and mentally cursing the person outside he went to open the door. It was his neighbour, who had come to give his letters and some other stuff which in his absence was taken by him. He thanked him, closed the door behind him and checked the letters. None of them were much important. He lied down again on the couch trying to sleep, but felt deprived of it. He went to the washbasin, washed his face and sat on his favourite rocking chair and started checking his phone. 17 Whatsapp messages from 13...

The clock stroked 7 in the morning. Raghav is late for his job, as he simultaneously pondered that he will surely miss the bus. He hurriedly had his breakfast and ran to the bus stop with a negligible hope of catching the bus. He was constantly looking at his watch which he thought ticked faster than usual. Completely drenched in sweat, he reached the bus stop. People were still waiting, seemed that bus was late. Breathing heavily, he asked a man standing near him just to confirm and he replied positively. Raghav had a sigh of relief and his breathing started to come back to normal.Finally the bus came. He climbed fast in order to occupy any vacant seats and felt proud just as he occupied one. Just as the bus started to leave the stop, he heard a voice telling to stop the bus. He looked in the direction of the sound only to find a young beautiful girl running to catch the bus. Their eyes met, he found her eyes bright and deep and was going to dive in it when suddenly she yelled agai...

                                               Dreams It was a busy day, doing that same monotonous tiring job of completing boss' documents was making him mad. Suddenly he has a thought of leaving all this and running away, he came back to his senses and calmed himself and takes a break. He had a heavy lunch and its effects were about to be shown. Having no mood to do the work, he sits staring at a random success quote which was his wallpaper of the computer. His eyelids were becoming heavy and it became quite difficult for him to keep his eyelids open. A continuous ticking sound of the keyboard keys was somehow hindering him as his mind was slowly and steadily coming to peace. Keeping his elbow on the table & supporting his head, he thinks of his life.  A sudden darkness conquers him and then suddenly he saw a beautiful girl standing right...
