My last Story was about a boy,So i think it should be appropriate to write  about a girl, otherwise you  may accuse me of gender biasing.This story is a girl's narration.Before i start her narration i will briefly introduce her,She is a lovely girl with a beautiful and innocent smile that touches her eyes.A soothing and Lively voice.Charming yet down to earth.In short a combination of beauty and brains.                                   Lets start with the narration "We have been in relationship for last 5yrs.He was a senior in my office  ,So  had the oppurtunity to go abroad earlier than me.He has been there for the last 2 yrs.They say long distance relationships dont work,but it works perfectly if you have proper understanding and ready to make sacrifices.In our case we had to make lot of sacrifices to keep our relationship ticking .We have changed our sleeping schedules just to talk to each other,because we live in different time zones.But today something  unusual has ha

This is continuation of my first story( http://pratyutpannadasspeaks.blogspot.com/2012/01/chapter-1.html ) Time passed by, the gal had moved up in the corporate hierarchy.She was now a Project Manager.She now led a sophisticated life in some metro.She had a nice house and a wonderful new car.Everything in her life was   rosy. But what about the boy, was he dead?? I had previously thought so   ,but i was wrong.It was just a rumour .Although he was diagnosed with leukaemia, he had survived, thanks to a benevolent gentleman,who paid for his treatment.But this "benevolent gentleman" was not really a gentleman ,he was involved in many illegal activities like betting,gambling,money laundering,arms dealing   etc. I have to call him “Gentleman” because our law states that “you are not a criminal until and unless you are proven guilty in a court of law”.Many times he had been tried but never ever any conclusive evidence had been found against him.But for the boy he was god.The b

This is the first part of my 10 part series, "10 love stories". Before I start my narration, let me clear, I don't exactly understand what love is? Even big people, I mean intellectual ones aren't sure about its meaning. “How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?” — Albert Einstein So I wont be drawing any conclusions, I will be just narrating, Its you to decide and debate whether its love or not. Here goes my first narration: College is a place where most love stories start, some go into commit state and some rollback. There was this college where many boys and girls "studied", one of them is my story's protagonist. He was second to jack of all trades, if you are getting what I mean. He was leading  an ordinary routine life. Some months later He saw Her. She was lean and thin, dusky in complexion, not so attractive to many eyes. Somehow she drew his attention

Today i read the TOI article about movie stars getting more money from endorsements than movies.Some other days  you must  have come across articles by prominent sports analyst ,blaming poor performance of cricket players on excessive ads.They argue that ,the valuable time that could have been spent on training and practice is wasted in doing endorsement. But in my opinion it is not a retarder rather its an accelerator.Think yourself to be a business man or CEO of the company which is going to hire stars,will you by any chance hire a fading star or a not so well  performing star.I think most of us will say no.You won't hire Irfan Pathan.You will  prefer to associate with some one who is at his zenith.Even if his price is astronomically high  or if you have financial constraints you will choose a professional ad model.This process of reward and punishment makes him work harder.They are ready to go the extra mile. Secondly stars have to be more responsible in their behavior.They c

Today I am going to narrate a story, that is true to best of my knowledge.The story is about a girl, I had met   some years   ago.I always had a wrong notion that a beautiful girl’s life is full of joy,she faces no problem. Her life is like a fairy tale.I watched a movie called “malena” ,where a beautiful girl was harrased by others ,who were jealous of her beauty.Then,I thought it happens only in movies ,untill I met this girl. I first saw her at a tution. she is one of the most elegant looking fairies. she appears to me as a verdant garden full of blissful flowers. Her smile enthralls my imagination, it seems like a hundred suns beeming to the sky. I saw her every other day at my tution.I was attracted by her looks.I wanted to talk to her,but she was always surrounded by her friends and I didn’t have guts to approach   her.I feared her friends could make fun   of me.This continued for two sems.After which I heard she had a bf.So, I felt it would be just waste of my time in trying to
