Little girl's wild side "We're home,"
When they reached Sindhu's place, it was almost midnight. Gautham stopped the car outside Sindhu's place. Then he turned around towards Sindhu who was happily sleeping with her seat pushed down to the max and her legs hoisted over the dashboard in the front. She looked extremely peaceful and content. Gautham almost did not want to wake her but then he reached out and shook her awake. Sindhu blinked several times. She lifted her hands to rub over her eyes. But seeing as she never bothered to wash her hands after having snacks, Gautham hurriedly grabbed her hands. "Your hands are not clean. They still probably have spices from the potato chip you had earlier", Gautham said but Sindhu was still not fully awake and a little groggy so she did not comprehend what he was saying. By reflex, she tried to reach her eyes with her other hand. Gautham let out a sigh and held back both her hands with one of his hands and reached out with his other hands, tidied her hair that was falling over her e

The marriage was exactly one month away. Sindhu was sitting in her room with all her lights switched off and doors locked shut. Her mind was messed up and in a daze. She did not know what she was feeling. Her heart was in a twist.This room... It has been her safe haven and her hell at the same time for as long as she could remember. She had not lived here for 4 years but still, this was her home. She always knew she could come back to this one place no matter what and it will give her solace. But after these weeks, this won't be her room. This will not be her home. She did not know how to digest this fact. Her heart was in a twist. She felt so terrified all of a sudden.The voices in her head won't stop. She kept remembering all the things she ever experienced within these walls- some good some bad. It was so overwhelming that she felt as if she was drowning. She felt so lost and helpless. And the silence surrounding her was almost deafening.All these days she

Bangalore.It was an early morning well before dawn. The city was still sleeping. There was a deafening silence. It was not a calm comforting silence. It was almost cold... ice cold... freezing even. And the weather mirrored it. There was no soul awake. Even the trees were sleeping. The only sound that came was the whispering of the wind. But today even they seemed drowsy. As if they were lulling the city to sleep a little longer. The only light visible was the streetlight and that too was flickering feebly. Even the moon was not visible. It was almost as if even the moon was scared of the darkness all around.It was the kind of atmosphere that you expect a horror movie plot to start with.Then out of nowhere, the silence was broken by a loud noise. A mixed sound of an engine running and the sound of tires screeching against the streets... and then came the visual of a bike flashing bright headlight as if it was trying to awaken the lulled streets.The mo

3 years later, Chennai. The climate outside was humid... Dark clouds covered the sky like a blanket over the city but still no rain. It was almost as if the clouds are teasing the city. As if they are daring the people to set their foot out the doors. And in the sink, the city was quiet compared to other days. It was as if people are playing a safe bet. "Siinnddhuu," Aruna- her mom's voice shrilled through the room bringing her out of her train of thoughts. "Sindhu, Gautham's family will be here any moment. Are you even ready yet?" Aruna continued shouting on top of her lungs. “Oh shit!” Sindhu cursed under her breath at last noticing the time. She must have been daydreaming longer than she originally planned. Shit Shit! Her mom is going to be hysterical if she saw her in this state. She was still in her sweat pants and t-shirt. Sindhu suddenly panicked and scrambled from her balcony. She went straight to the washroom along with the dress she

Gautham observed Sindhu's apparent discomfort to the so he suggested going back for which she gladly obliged. Their parents were still in deep discussion about god knows what. Anyways, Sindhu just sat down on the couch and started fidgeting with her fingers... She kept fidgeting. She was bored and she had no phone to pass time while Gautham was sitting beside her and doing just that. He was going through his phone. She was tempted to take a peek or maybe even borrow it and see if he had some games. If her mum could read her mind she would have given her a stern look and asked 'Really??' as if she was crazy. But Sindhu was seriously bored… so much so that she might eat someone just about then. But right then it came... Rain... The smell of wet sand filled the air and you could feel it even before you could hear the downpour. Sindhu couldn't help the grin that spread on her face. She had been waiting for it to rain from the morning. That was the whole reason why she wa

Gautham and his family were on their way back home; his parents had a goofy grin on their faces. "I take it you liked Sindhu..?" He asked. It was more a rhetoric question than an actual question. "So how did you like her parents?" He asked again. He did not get much time to talk with them to actually make an opinion. "Well, they were polite. Her mom tried to sell me how much a goody two shoes her daughter was. But I know those eyes. She should have been quite the troublemaker. And if I judged the girl right, she will tell you as to how much trouble she has actually made. And she is going to be quite the addition to our family" Gautham's mom, Renuka, said, totally amused. "Whoa whoa whoa. Nothing is decided just yet. So, slow down your horses."Gautham exclaimed panicked. "Oh cut the crap Gautham. I am your mother. You and I both know that you like that girl way too much to let her pass through your fingers. When was the last time you even talke

Gautham stood there outside a building that looked like an office but the only problem was everyone inside was talking and laughing around. Not a single person was actually working. There were about ten people just hanging around and making fun. One of them was even munching on snacks as he laughed around joking. Gautham looked around confused not knowing whether to go in or not until he saw a room with a signboard Ms. Sindhuja Srinivas. At last, he was sure that he was in the right place. He knocked on the door tentatively and a faint "come in" came from inside the room right after. He opened the doors and peaked in. There she was, wearing spectacles that were clutching onto the top of her nose; brows frowned from concentrating and she seemed frustrated as she signed some papers. Gautham cleared his throat to get her attention but Sindhu was already too into the work to notice it. So he had to knock on her table standing in front of her desk which finally go

"And Arvind your salary will be on your account on the 1st of every month along with your exam fees okay" "But mam, you don't have to do that. I will manage." "Arvind, I know I don't have to do it but I am doing it. God, what's with you guys always arguing with me. I am seriously getting confused about who the boss is" Sindhu bickered. "Thank you, mam. I won't let you down. I promise. I will be back in a year." He said. The kinda respect he has for his boss is very evident in his voice. "I will hold the fort till then. You just focus on your exams. And if any of these dumb heads call you with doubts, just ignore them. Even they have to learn. Anyways I am going out for lunch, make sure the dumb heads don't set the office on fire okay" she said taking her bags. "Yes, mam," Arvind said with a salute jokingly and walked out of the office with a grin. At last, Sindhu's attention turned to Gautham and he was looking at her amazed. "

When they reached Sindhu's place, it was almost midnight. Gautham stopped the car outside Sindhu's place.

Little girl's wild side Out of sight, out of mind.
That night, Gautham came back late after distributing all the invitations. But to his surprise, he actually found that Sindhu was not back yet. He freshened up and came down to the lobby and sat on the stairs waiting for Sindhu. John and Steve were already back and already off to bed. They were long used to Sindhu not showing up at night, unlike Gautham. Even when he was worried and anxious, Gautham still waited patiently for her. The cold air stung his skin making the hair in his hand standstill. At last, just before dawn, the roaring sound of the car awoke Gautham from his daze. He looked up only to see Sindhu get down from a red Audit. It was John’s car. Since Gautham had driven the car they came in, Sindhu borrowed one of John’s cars. “Why are you still up?” Sindhu asked coming towards Gautham. He just shrugged his shoulders and answered perfunctorily, “I couldn’t sleep…” Both of them knew he was lying. After all, he could har

Sindhu sipped on her drink and looked out the window with a blank expression on her face. Her eyes stayed steadily looking at nothing in particular. Her eyes were as if everything around her was invisible somehow while vehicles kept zooming in front of her leaving behind exhaust fumes. They were not invisible but Sindhu just did not care enough to notice anything in particular.Everything and everybody around her was busy with something or the other except for her. Nobody seemed to have the time of the day to notice anything around them… everybody was rushing to someplace or other… they seemed to be moving in a rush all the time. They all seemed to have somewhere to be at any point in time… but she one the other seemed to be always lost!This was not the first time she had noticed this… This scene is the most common sight no matter where one goes… She just never been able to figure out how to make sense of it.After all,

After about one hour, Sindhu finally actually woke up and went to freshen up. Gautham went in search of John. He asked around the staff and finally found him in what looked like a study room.He knocked on the huge door before entering.The room was brightly lit. Both sides of the room were covered with shelves and they were all filled to the brim with books.But the wall straight opposite to the door was fully empty except for a huge piece of a painting of the mansion with a sunset in the background. The mansion was actually small compared to the background sky. And from the looks of it, it was probably painted by Sindhu. It was not a realistic painting. It was slightly abstracted. And like the ones in her apartment, the whole painting was done with reddish-yellow shades and blacks peeping here and there."That's Sindhu's handiwork, isn't it???" Gautham asked out loud. But the question was actually rhetoric.John looked up then followed Gautham's

It was dead of the night. The streetlights were flickering away. Everything was quiet and tranquil until suddenly the rumbling sound of several bike engines was heard which was accompanied by several rogue male voices shouting profanities.There was one bike in the forefront, driven by a girl. She seemed hurt and very disoriented. Her bike was not steady. The bike was going zigzag without any pattern. There was blood all over her torso. Blood dripped down on the road making a red trail behind her. Her vision was blurring out from excessive loss of blood. But by sheer determination, she drove the bike as steadily as she could and as fast as she could. She knew help was on the way. All she had to do was to hold these thugs off till then. But it was getting so hard to keep her eyes open.There were about a half dozen bikes following her. Even when the guys following her did not seem to be hurt, their bikes were nowhere near being any steadier than th
Little girl's wild side I am just proud of you.
Sindhu and Gautham were sitting side by side in a park. Sindhu's excitement finally wore out after all the shopping and roaming around they did. It was almost sundown when Gautham suggested they take a break. Sindhu's legs were practically jelly. It has been long since she last roamed around so much.The park was pretty quiet since they were sitting at the far end. On the other side of the park, children were happily playing around with their parents hovering behind them. Sindhu had a small smile playing on her lips seeing them. Gautham followed her gaze and found a little girl with pigtails. She was pouting over something."You know she reminds me of Akira," Gautham said absentmindedly."Who is Akira??" Sindhu asked curiously, mainly because she loved kids more than anything. For her, they were the only uncorrupted form of a human."Akira is Priya and Rahul's daughter. You will be able to meet them. They are my childhood friends. " Gautham said, but a sl
Little girl's wild side He is perfect.
The next day, when Sindhu woke up, it was already 9 am. She and Gautham went for some sights seeing and shopping in malls the last evening. And had dinner outside. It was late by the time they came back. So Sindhu thought she could actually sleep in. But then she stupidly left the curtains open. So she woke up from the bright light shining through the balcony doors. Seeing that her sleep was already ruined she got up from the bed. After slightly freshening up she lazily strolled down to the living room. She searched for John and Gautham but both were nowhere to be found. She went to the kitchen and took a sandwich. That's when she heard a noise coming from the back of the house. The dining hall had a window facing the backyard. She peeked through it and found Gautham playing merrily with Brad and Luzy in the swimming pool. And John was sitting in one of the patio chairs a few feet away from them reading a newspaper.Sindhu took the plate with her sandwich and went towards the
Little girl's wild side Dramebaaz!! (Overdramatic)
Bangalore.Sindhu's lips spread into a wide grin as soon as they entered the city. The city was bustling with life and Sindhu drove through it with ease. It was as if she knew each nook and cranny of the city. She went in and out of all sorts of small and big roads avoiding traffic like a pro. Just the whole aura around her changed somehow. Her joy was palpable. But there was also something else in there… deep under the surface. Something dark maybe. Her grin would just slip for a few seconds every now and then… and something not so joyous will pass through her face.Gautham reached out and pulled on her cheeks and said in a playful voice, "Can you stop grinning for a second? I mean I get it you love the city. But if you keep on grinning like this, your jaws are going to start hurting."Sindhu sent him a glare and rubbed on her cheeks and to add to the dramatic effect she even let out, "Ouch!! That hurts!!" While pouting at Gautham."Drameba
