Colons, hyphens and close brackets were seen everywhere!
When our eyes twinkled and sparkled, we got a let’s-uncork-champagne news: “All our colleagues are coming to see you next week!”
‘Not if it’s troublesome,’ I wanted to say but no words came out. ‘Oh no! I cannot be dumb. This is cannot be happening!’ I furiously wanted to rewind.
“Are you insane, Richa? The bomb blast is all over the news!” he yelled over-anxiously. It didn’t matter at that second, it was my bestie’s last night in town. So to hell with him (my boyfriend). I resolved to face his music later. We were busy selfie-ing our superstar poses in the cab, taking us to an uber lavish lounge having a floor-lit bar and city’s birdseye view. The cab honked and I dolefully realised that I was in Mumbai and everything was poles apart. That thought escorted me to how that inevitable spectacle happened, changing my life forever.
If you are offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask which seat. Just get on.
Opposite sex has become such a colossal infamous topic. Or maybe it always was.
