The Things I Want...

"The things I want", by Arnab Majumdar

A Smoke.

A Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of Rum.

The Sun to shine once again. For me.

The Stars to twinkle once again. For her.

The hope that She can make sense of it all. For Us.

Us.

A Red Pet Dragon.

Fifteen cars. Maybe that's too much.

Okay, Fourteen cars.

Free Fall. Once.

Space Walk. Twice.

A Smile. Like Hers. Forever.

A Time Machine.

Caffeine. A lot of it. Some things never change.

Extra Cheese Pizzas.

No, strike that out. Some things do change.

Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. For some reasons.

Is it all too much?

    @ Anupriya... there's a reason why I didn't really reply to the posts. This is not one of my favourite posts to be honest, and I hardly come here to read the comments... what made you comment on this one?? And, how come you didn't read the other posts..?

… and she said, “I’m all yours.”

The school bell rang, and finally the moment she had been waiting for had arrived. She was free from school, and she couldn't wait to be back home. To be with the one she had been thinking of, for so long. “Have a nice weekend!” “You too!” “I’ll drop by at your place around five, ok?” “Sure thing. It’s gonna be so much fun, you guys spending the night over.” “We’ll stay up all night long!” The conversations amongst her classmates surrounded her, yet she seemed far away from it all. She was lost the her own thoughts, lost in the memories of the long hours she had spent in the company of her one true love. She got on the bus, and sat at her favorite window seat. She wished with all her will that the bus would start moving soon. Her impatience paid off in the end; the bus jerked to life, and slowly trundled off in the direction of her house. She felt excited at the thought of someone waiting for her. Her thoughts wandered back into the memories of the countless kisses t

A Brand New Family

A little over a year into her marriage, and Rupal had exceeded all her expectations towards herself – she had actually become a wonderful cook. The Pulao and the Shahi Paneer were giving out the most mouth watering aroma, and she should have been proud of herself. Only, she wasn’t. It’s not easy to be proud of yourself, when you’re all alone at home, waiting for a husband who’s late. It was the third successive night that she’d been waiting for Himanshu to turn up, but he said he was held up at work for yet another day. She knew it was for the best, and yet she didn’t like it one bit. The fact that all her efforts at making the exquisite dinner were slowly turning cold was something she didn’t want to come to terms with so easily. She heard the key turning in the lock. A moment later, Himanshu’s voice boomed in from the corridor, “Honey, I’m home!” “You’re late again! Why do they have to make you work so hard?” she asked him the moment he came within her line of sight. Her a

The Friend Circle

Image
"If only I had a gun," thought Ali. "Maybe, if I could blast a bullet in my head, it'd help to stop the pounding." He laughed at the absurdity of the thought almost immediately though, as real life took a grip on him again. He had never thought that he could fight with Raman the way he did. He never thought that he was capable of saying the things that he did, to Raman; his best friend since childhood. He wanted to say a lot of things to him; that he hadn't really meant any of the things he had said to Raman when they fought. That he still was his best friend, in spite of everything. Most importantly, he wanted Raman to know that he did not want him to "die and go to hell" as he had told him to. Ali had tried calling Raman quite a few times, but he had had no luck. He was very hopeful thus, when finally the phone rang. He picked up the phone hastily, only to see that it wasn't Raman, but Kalpana who was calling him. "Kay. I thought it was
