                     An Ambush...

Amid all the chaos in the world - tensions, worries, breakups, job etc... There's only one saviour of the man kind- that's a "Burger".... Yes...!!!! You hear it right. Oh...!!!! Don't laugh at him okay.
           Burger a ruler from the other world named 'Maso' - a generous , kind hearted , reluctant but believe in the theory of expansion had set out in our world from time immemorial. He wants to rule our world but as every person has its competitors so do he. Once , he was discussing a course of policy with his fellow rank people on "How to invade Earth" and all of a sudden coffee stood up to explain how his majesty have already gripped the appetite of people sitting around there ... In their chairs for long and supposed to be working ( and how hungrily ordered his majesty) , coffee gives a giggle about it.

             "You're right coffee... But think we've still to convince those people who either oppose us or restrain us" said proudly the cold drink. Birger stood up and declared with this discourse I can only say that we still have to go a long way to conquer those greedy & hungry world people. With this the court was dispersed.

                 One thing still troubled Burger the most and it is an invasion from the person he hates entirely. Then with an utter darkness accompanied  by thunderstorm appeared - The absolute Don "Pizza" with his attendants 'Maggie' and 'Pasta'. Now, Pizza =Burger , i mean both are powerful enough to bring disaster in our world.

                 "You're mistaken Burger, you can't rule the world"
                  "Well Pizza maybe, but will make sure your existence hardly matters to those tiny creatures on Earth"

                 Pizza and Burger had initiated a war that lasted a decade with no explicit results , just destortion of their taste .... Finally the Ambassadors of both the Estate came up with peace treaty. Burger send Coffee & Cold drink to Pizza where both of them suggested of joining hands to further addict the Earth forever with their power while Pizza send Maggie & Pasta along with French fries to the Burger with an idea of being more crispy , tastier , full of spices & variations so as to fit in every hook and corner of the world.

               A treaty was signed b/w Pizza and Burger ensuring the conditions discussed above and that are possible threat to Earth dwellers as they've increased their consumption & are becoming obsessed with these thereby reducing the lifespan, making them more listless to even think nothing creative than this....

                Comm'n Earthy people Let's pledge not to leave them ( as they're tasty right...??? ) but to counter attack them with more exercise, will power and good diet habits. Pardon me i've to go and grab my Pizza .... Help yourself.... See ya.... :) :)

     The Unexpected Guest....

Ever had a guest ???? Of course, you'll affirm to the statement but ever a guest as Riya and Ranjit had.....Guest a term so pure , get all of us excited and too increases our responsibility.Afterall in India we believe in "Athithi Devo Bhava" or guest compared no less to God.
        A year before :
Ranjit and Riya like any other couple in love, optimistic and confident set out in their spheres to gain success before they settle down at Dehradhun.The shifting process was quiet hectic but Alas...!!!! All was done.They were happy as they got a beautiful house on the outskirts of greenry and tranquility. Riya left the job in order to take care of her husband even more but eventually started feeling a void inside her heart.

"Ranjit I feel this house is so empty just we & at times it's only me...."
"Ya Riya but I need time so that I can take care with full responsibility for u & our baby".
"Hmmm....I understand".

The weather doesn't seemed to be good and it rained so hard accompanied by someone unexpected. Both glued their eyes on t.v for the latest broadcast and for any warning signals. All of a sudden someone knocks at the door as if so impatient, in  hurry or probably in danger.Ranjit opened the door and saw an old man wet from tip to toe , begging
for something which was hardly audible so he took the man inside - comforted him, give him soup to drink and clothes to wear. He was shivering with cold , within a few seconds just fell asleep and woke up with the conversation b/w Riya & Ranjit. He stood up and was just about to depart when Ranjit insisted him to stay because of the weather that could land the old man in danger.

"But my son am already indebt to you. I ju...jus...just...." His words halted as he saw Riya.
"Oh ..pls uncle stay we'll be happy" pleaded Riya.His eyes shone as if he got something precious as gems.All 3 of them started conversation on place, weather and their lives.

The best part of the Hills is You encounter astounding experiences physically, spiritually and at times something you can't explain logically. Both Riya & Ranjit oblivion of the same decided to keep the old man with them as Riya feels good serving him throughout the day. The old man started narrating tales to Riya in free time and slowly & steadily she absorbs everything that was being narrated to her- fascinations of Hills, Vampires , darkness and Men turning wolf on new moon day. She listened intensely when he narrated then laugh out those stories in her mind, unaware that he's actually gripping her mind and most importantly her sub-conscious mind. One night when Ranjit was out for a day or two as he because of his work. She was cooking in the kitchen when she felt a hand over her shoulder-as soon as she turned there was none. She thought it to be her hallucinations and get down to work again. She & the old man ate their dinner and retire to their rooms. As soon as she laid down, she felt asleep and heard a scratching sound probabaly someone was doing it with his long nails as if to penetrate her. She woke up , drank water and saw everything was usual. She got up & checked the old man's room and as she was returning she sensed again a hand over her right shoulder, she freezed ,petrified and with her heart pounding she turned and "phewww....!!!!" She gave a sigh of relief on seeing the old man.
The next day , not in a good mood because of her last night experience she wanted to avoid the old man story but like an iron get magnetized to it. Today he told her about spirits, their warnings and showed her a cardboard- which was rectangular in shape , had hexagonal drawn over it with a pointed star in between. "If u ever want to contact spirits just take a coin, put your index finger on it and chant 'show up' until you get to know who's standing in front of you. Here keep this", said the old man. They both went up to their rooms to rest thereafter.
This time again she woke up in the middle of the night hearing to that scratch sound but this time accompained by a voice.... She couldn't figure it out but woke up all in sweat, panic and then she heard a laugh - a mad laugh. Recollecting her courage she went to see and she could not believe her eyes- the old man sitting on the floor outside the lawn laughing madly, his eyes all blood red and he was feeding himself on a rabbit's flesh, his entire mouth filled with blood of the animal and what was terrifying was the entire lawn was converted into a graveyard and he amid those Graves. She just ran, ran and ran until she got to her room and bolted the doors-crying & crying she got fainted ,just got up with a sudden knock at the door the next morning with Ranjit voice calling out to her. As soon as she opened the door she hugged him and cried& cried out of fear and blurr state of mind.
"Get that old man out of our house now. He's all evil Ranjit...." Sobbed Riya.
"What..??? I was about to ask u where is he..????" She finally perplexed decided to tell everything to Ranjit. "I want to find that man Ranjit...i don't know but ..." Her words halted but her heart says she wants to solve that mystery.
"Comm'n Riya he's gone. Pls don't think about him, comfort yourself and tomorrow we'll be going to a psychiatrist. Ok...Now get some sleep.Goodnight". And what Ranjit saw Riya to be that night he was worried for her even more. This night again she woke up with that sound but this time she was imitating the old man and altogether unconsciously, feeding upon an animal....
In the morning he pretend that everything's normal though he knew in what state he found Riya, all fainted.
"Let's find the old man Riya" said Ranjit as if he knew her mental state could only be recovered when she get her answers. They went up to the police with a missing complaint and the cop asked them to describe the old man so that his sketch artist could draw him. Week passed but no information came but then one day both were called by the cop. Both of them was shocked to see the computer screen of the cop and yelled " Oh....!!!! Shit...." The computer screen showed the detail of the old man which says he's dead past 20 years. Now the puzzle had tensed both of them.
Then Riya took a decision to call his spirit as she remembered the cardboard he gave to her. "Are you mad Riya. U know how dangerous these things are...???"
"I have no option Ranjit see me... Am getting crazy day by day...i have to do this".
"This could even land you in a problem. No... I ...just can't let you go".
"What if i never recover ....??? Pls understand. Tomorrow stay out at night I'll make it or die that's it" boldly gestured Riya.
The next day night and she was all determined to make it, she followed every ritual before sitting on her black mat, cardboard in front of her and a coin in her hand. She started chanting to call the old man's spirit and when the clock struck 12' she heard the same scratching sound but she continued as she want answers.
All of a sudden other voices calm down and heard the old man voice ....
"Tell me old man who are you..??? Why you choose me or my house. I want to know everything...."asked Riya.
"I am prakash. I lived in Punjab. I did everything for my family, kids and to be worth but see what i got at the end-humiliation, ignorance and a death full of miseries. My children confined me in a store room like any other scrap and i die unfulfilled in an asylum remembering how much useless i was. My mental state deteriorated to the extend i saw myself being buried alive among the graves in a graveyard...".
"But how does all this related to me...???"
"It is .... Because you're my daughter. I did everything but forgot about you & your mother.." Sobbed the old man.
"Oh..!!! You shut up....my father died long back before i was born in an accident down the hill".
"No, Riya I survived that. But just for an entire year lost my memory but when i regained it, i was married to the daughter of the man who saved me and from then i never looked back. Am your defaulter Riya & that of ur mother. Forgive me so that i can rest all in peace....and am here for that only", Shocked Riya fell to the ground and cried hard on her discovery. All these years she thought she had no father but here ....controlling her emotions she said "I don't find any significance in giving you & me pain anymore. You came back just for me showed you never betrayed us..." Soon she said those words and the old man vanished forever & ever. Later on she came to know that she was unconscious for the past 2 days, all to herself and doctors had suspected her to be in coma. But Alas... She got to her senses and even solved the puzzle. She was sad she never had seen her father but was happy she has Ranjit with her to care and share.

Now Riya has recovered from her mental state and it seems she has no more void in her heart as she has a cute baby girl to take care of. Now she welcomes every guest and no more fear the unexpected guest.... *The End*

        IN LOVE WITH PANI PURI.....

Panipuri the word that brings water to our mouth as soon as we hear about it. Think of two persons who are in love just because of this.... weird no...???? Well as far as it's history is concerned it was originated in Magadha region of India presently called as South Bihar they name it as "Phulka" but
in North India it's called Gol Gappa or Watery Bread in English.
                           The day he saw her on pani puri stall he fell in live with her. The way she was putting the whole lot in her mouth , her cheeks seemed to fill with air , her earrings rectangular in shape absolutely dangling as if to say "Hiiii" to the boy named "Raj" . Suddenly she coughed as it was extremely spicy , she was searching for her handkerchief . He just passed through her way and stooped to pick that up for her which was his own. He actually handed his own handkerchief to her and in return "Naina" said "Thank You so much". The beautiful voice pierced his heart and gave him a  wake up call that yes...!!!! she's the girl he always dreamed of. Raj was about to depart when she called him and apologized that it was not her handkerchief ," Actually I forgot to have one". She extended her hand to introduce herself ,"Hey I am Naina".
 "Hi i'm Raj" ( nam to sunna he hoga) he giggled inside his head. There after both went their own ways. Lives went on as usual for both , Raj was in Love with Naina but he thought first sight love is
something stupid though.
                                      "OMG...!!!! Is it Ravinder Singh's I too had a love story" inquired Naina to the reading guy just sitting in front of her as she was big fan of love stories.
                                         "Yes it is. Thinking what amazing is in these kind of novels"
                                                   
                                         "Hey Naina right..???"
                                         "ya... you must be R.... Ra... Raj"  Raj joins so as to remind her of his identity. What a coincidence both boarding to Jaipur for a Literature Festival and absolutely oblivious what came out of it altogether. And it all started.... comm'n the series of conversations.... Love takes time and great efforts. Meanwhile train stopped for 15 mins at a station for passengers to have something.
                                                       "wanna have something...????" asked Raj
                         
 "No not really I want that book" smiles Naina.
 Raj went out to have something and Naina reading the copy of Love Story. Finally both reached their destination and goodbyes each other in a hope to see again. Jaipur Literature festival.... a huge opportunity for both budding and professional writers to share one roof to discuss on the writings that are thrilling, romantic or other genres. Finally it happened that wasn't expected the topic of discussion was "Love Story Vs Mystery Novels" if you ask me it's hard to pick a one because I love both genres. So it's Naina's turn first to speak out her views.
                                                      "A very warm welcome to one and all present it's my privilege to present my view point here in front of you all. According to me both genres are absolutely brilliant within their spheres but I think that Love Stories are far better than mystery novels as in this Era of world wars, civil wars and intercaste/class restrictions on marriage and pressure that our youth face today these are a refuge , a confidence to step up for their Love as human beings not just because of various tags that are hanged around their necks...." She was just about to continue when Raj stood up for his objection statement as his typical mysterious mind was at work.
                                                    " Excuse me Ms. Naina don't you think that these Love Stories misguide our youth rather than doing some good. They started accepting the Fantasy as something real and he/she to be respective hero/heroin . At times they realized this when it's too late to undo anything...????"
                                                     "Well Mr. it solely depends on person's or couple's understanding that make them regret or to be thankful for that love" answered Naina.

                                                      " I object though .... To Love someone blindly and leave it on understanding is somewhat weird. What if both don't confirm to the needs there after...????"
                                                      "Well ... No then it's not love just an infatuation that lasts as far as it could"  proudly replied Naina.

                                                      " Ms, Naina do you think every love story has an happy ending. Have you never heard of brutal and heartbreaking endings..????" There was a sudden applause for Raj's practical statement to her but Naina was furious and diverted her attention towards the general public and concluded her view as " Love doesn't required a best endings everytime as Love is Love that's it . Those who never think it that way still ponder over silly queries".
phewww.... finally a war between Raj and Naina. Though Raj liked her doesn't mean he will compromise with his curiosity . After the session everyone went to the dinning hall. They both were avoiding each other but clashed just on Pani Puri stall again and too at the same moment asking for it.

                                                       " Me first I asked it first. Bhaiya mujhe pls"
                                                       " Hello.... don't be a kid. Grow up. Bhaiya me first I have to depart early" said Raj and took the served pani puri in his hand just then Naina was about to grab it.
                                                         " Don't think it's a discussion where you can insult me again. shut up.... have your pani puri am leaving disgusting creatures". Naina withdrew from conversation and pani puri simultaneously.

                             While she was sitting down the park's bench outside the dining hall, Raj came up with full delicious pani puri plate and put it in front of her, bent on his one knee with bowed head replied," For you madam, please".
                                   " What why.... and why you're bowed head in this bizarre way...????"
                                     " To apologize"
                                     " I didn't get you" said Naina. All of a sudden Raj showed up his face and sat next to Naina ," I am extremely sorry Naina, I don't mean to hurt you in any way".
                                       " I really don't wanna see, hear or listen to you get lost...right now"   Naina stood up to depart when Raj held her hand- so delicate and beautiful to hold he thought.
                                          " Atleast give me a chance to explain that sort of behavior . Then it's your choice either forgive me or be rude as ever" asked Raj piteously. She seated herself again to let him explain his thoughts or maybe she's in love with him ... who knows....

He continued," I am sorry I don't meant to insult you at festival with my objectionable questions. It
was like I just wanted to let out my misconceptions for love forever. You know what I was betrayed by my ex who always took me for granted no matter how I feel whenever I am alone, what is my choice she always dominate and I shattered the day she called me and said," I can't handle you anymore. It's breakup and final" few days later I found out she was dating someone else. But I was happy atleast I know my flaw .... and then hated the Love Stories that only compel us to fantasize something that is no less than a deal in real world today.... it's you and your answers that get me out of my shattered phase that I actually fought over a mere pani puri...." By the time it was over he was
crying .... tears that nobody can stop .... tears that are bound to free him from his past relations.

                                                "please don't cry I understand. I think my speech was successful atleast it transformed your perspective of seeing Love but I 'll never forget how you teased me in between". Naina smiled back at him and this time she loved his company even more.

                                        " Pani Puri please Ma....dam...." served Raj.
                                        " oh.... yes thank you"
            
                                         " I want to say something if you say...???"
                                          " ya sure"

                                           " I love you Naina". He actually kissed her cheek this time to create that flavor of love as he continued," The day I saw you eating Pani Puri there. Though it was a mere
coincidence here we met again so...????"
                                              " Well am sorry am already in love with someone" replied Naina in a sad tone though she blushed at his audacity.
                                                " oh... it's alright alteast you're honest enough and a cute heart but my love will never cease to exist". She picked up the pani puri and put it in her mouth . When she's done she winked at him and said," I am in love with this Pani Puri. I hope you're not jealous of your competitor ha...????"
                                                   " Well no not at all I swear"   Both smiled while staring at the bright and beautiful moon as if moon replying," That's a love story in love with Pani Puri". And that was the cutest END ever.
Loved it, liked it or tell me about your cutest Love Story . Do comment. Goodbye till then.... :-)
