Author: Sham Saha   Dated: 19 December 2007 Mumbai!!! A dream city… Don’t ask my name. I am not any extraordinary, I am ordinary, but some day unknowingly I have been lost among very ordinaries. I stepped in Mumbai just 27 Days back after getting my maiden job in a small MNC. It's a Law Firm. Our owner is an American and for last two days he is in Mumbai in a visit. It is our organization culture that every new employee gets a lavish dinner after joining. I have been expecting for my turn. Eventually, today afternoon I have come to know that our American boss has invited Satish, my colleague and me for dinner at evening in Hotel Oberoi. Hotel Oberoi is not too far from our office and our American Boss has been staying there since he came in Mumbai. Right now, the time is 6:50 PM. My American boss is about to call a cab for the hotel and I take the initiative.  After reaching there, it is our formality not to let our boss to give the cab fare, so I have just thought of paying R

A Loser or a Winner

Author:Sham Saha Dated:09 October 2007 It is not necessary to introduce myself at beginning of this story. It is not necessary to know whether I am telling the truth or misinterpreting otherwise. You could pause if you don’t like. I won’t mind. I am not an avid net user, but there was a girl passionate of web net. Don’t ask me how I started chatting with her over net. The best part was that she belongs to the city where my root lives a lame life. I found the girl as under-age and at the same time she was crazy about web net, and above all chatting with strangers. I was idiot, no wonder; I have never had a chance to talk to a girl so openly. I have been always reserved, shy and hesitate while talking to any girl. This time my motto was something else. I wanted that Girl to put on right track. I was scared that this girl could be trapped by some strangers, some cyber-bullies some day. I tried my luck to be triumphant in pulling the girl out of cursed web. I started advising her on each f

Where Wonder and No Wonder Mean the Same

Author: Sham Saha Dated: 30 March 2007 She: He did everything he could do for me and those were all quite feasible for him to do. He was a nice guy. I liked him, but not really felt committed or felt affection for. There were some hesitations from both sides but still it grew in a restless manner. He never ever offered any gift to me, not even shared a solitary word that could pledge some relationship to be prolonged. Today, I am engaged to a new guy and he has truly shown some vow to me in order to build an assured life. It is total wonder to me as how I could put the first guy out of my mind. He: I did everything I could do for her and those were all quite feasible for me to do. She was a nice girl. I liked her, but not really felt committed or felt affection for.

Treachery of All Times

Author: Sham Saha Dated : 24 March 2007 The other night, the boy was talking to his Mom over phone. His Mom was telling that she was making Fried Chops sitting in the kitchen. She continued…She was expecting her little child looking with impatient eyes and standing behind her. How little was he in his Mom’s imagination? His eyes were about to drip water. Next evening, the same boy was sitting among friends in a restaurant. There were few acquaintances also. In a conversation on food stuffs, the boy wanted to prove himself unmatched among all. He shared that he did not like any home made food but sometime he loved to visit restaurant. He asserted that his Mom was not a good cook at all.

It Ended Like That

Author: Sham Saha Dated: 26 January 2007 There was a boy in a small town. There was a girl at the next door. The boy was not bold but the girl was a real beauty. The boy started staring on the girl without catching her attention. So did the girl. The boy did not share any words on that to his local friends, was quite aloof. Same could be said on that girl. The boy moved to a metropolis for higher studies. The girl moved to another metropolis for the same. But their family was still a neighbour to each other. The boy started studying on Computers. The girl took Arts in her academics. The boy never forgot the fact the girl was her first love. Eventually, the girl used to think that something was incomplete between them.

The boy always took every option to figure out her whereabouts and somed
