Story 15

Like any other girl, Sweta had her honeymoon extensively planned. Months before the wedding she had made all the bookings and ensured that everything was arranged according to the way she wanted it to be. After 8 years of courtship, Himanshu and Sweta finally tied the knot. And within 6 hours of their wedding reception, they found themselves waiting at the Mumbai International Airport for their flight to Zenith Island. Himanshu had no idea about the existence of such a place and on repeated enquiry, got nothing but a wink from Sweta.

As they boarded the flight, Himanshu was a bit skeptical to see that there were hardly any co-passengers. But then, who would have heard of such a place in the first place. As the flight took off, Sweta wrapped her arms around Himanshu's and whispered, "The journey begins honey." Himanshu blushed.

To Himanshu's surprise, Zenith Island turned out to be a place as beautiful as those mentioned in children's fairy tale. Some thousand kilometers to the north of Guyana Island, this island has not yet been exposed to the world tourism.Hence on their way to the hotel they hardly came across any foreign tourists. The beach looked beautiful in the moonlit night and Himanshu's desire to see Sweta walking down the beach, wearing her beautiful white dress rekindled his passion.He firmly held Sweta's hand and whispered, "Thank you baby." And Sweta couldn't be happier.

On entering the hotel, they were greeted by woofs as four lovely puppies came running to them. Sweta's eyes glowed as she saw Himanshu on his knees fondling those puppies. She was ecstatic as her wish to surprise Himanshu was turning out to be true.  As they entered the room they saw a candle light dinner waiting for them, a complimentary setup from the hotel. Words failed Himanshu. He never dreamt of having such a grand honeymoon and most importantly never expected Sweta to plan out something so meticulously. They placed the order and decided to get freshened up.

The delicacies were served in the traditional fashion. Everything was going on smoothly till they found the shape of Pupapoo, the Zenith Island special dish, to be weird. It looked like a small roasted heart. Himanshu was curious and he asked the waiter what it was. The waiter replied, "Pupapoo is roasted puppy, Sir. In fact, you just played with one of them before you entered. This is a traditional Zenith Island food. Puppies are our chickens."

Story 14

He was completely taken by surprise. It never occurred to him that Sharmeen would draw such a conclusion. He looked at her with disbelief. The miscommunication has reached a new high and now things were going completely out of hand. Sharmeen sat there at the corner of the room. Her tear soaked eyes made her look more adorable. Iqbal wanted to hug her and sort things out. But Sharmeen had already started having doubts.
" Sharmeen believe me, it's not what you think", pleaded Iqbal. "You are making a mountain out of a molehill. This is just too much." "Yes. I am at fault right ?", Sharmeen responded rhetorically. "You showed it to me and now you are denying it completely. Even after that it's my fault isn't it Iqbal ?".

Iqbal shook his head. This was the worst fight they had in their 8 year old relationship and he had never felt so helpless. He searched his pockets for a smoke but found nothing but an empty match box. Sharmeen suddenly got up. "I am leaving Iqbal". The sense of finality in her voice made Iqbal shiver. He had never imagined his life without Sharmeen and this time he felt his voice quivering. Standing up, he wiped the tears off Sharmeen's face." Sharmeen, why are you doing like this ? Don't you trust me ? Why will I cheat on you ? On us ?". Iqbal couldn't hold back his tears. "Yes Iqbal. I have always trusted you. I still do provided you show me the ring". " Believe me Sharmeen, I bought it for...". "Stop it Iqbal. Please stop it !" the anger was slowly building within her. "If you had really bought it for Ammi why didn't you tell me that day ? You saw how happy I was ? Didn't you ?". "Sharmeen," Iqbal found his voice rising, " I told you that day. It's just that the connection was very poor. I told you...". "Why didn't you tell me after that ? We have been together for 5 days now, why didn't you tell me ? All this while I have been thinking that you will go down on your knees and propose. But..." Sharmeen broke down. " How would I know Sharmeen that you didn't hear me properly ? You could have asked me ? Why didn't you ? And why will I buy it for any girl other than you....".
Iqbal was interrupted by his ringtone. Though he was reluctant to take the call the unknown number made him pick it up. " Hello ? Iqbal Mohammed ? Good Afternoon Sir. I am calling from Airtel. Will you be interested in our new 4G plan ?. We guarantee you the best connectivity anywhere and everywhere". Iqbal sighed.

Story 13

The tension was building up and Romit couldn't bear it any longer. The evening was not going the way he expected. The sole purpose of this re-union was to get together, have a glass of beer and enjoy the Manchester-Liverpool derby, just like old times sake. Matches like this was an intense affair for any football fanatic and Romit would agree that his group of friends was right at the top of the list. He still vividly remembers how they ended up fighting over an own goal. Smiling to himself, Romit turned on the shower.

The evening started with the story of Suresh's honeymoon trip to the Alps. Suresh being a professional photographer was able to capture the beauty of the Alps magnificiently. Each and every frame of his album met with huge round of approval from his friends. Romit also joined in sometimes but deep inside he was itching for the match to start. As referee's whistle started the match, Rajesh announced his plan to buy a new car within a 15 lakh budget. What followed was an intense analysis of the various alternatives he had, the mileage each of them provided, the features which made each one of them stand out in the crowd and many more. No one was remotely interested in the game and Romit was hating every minute of it. What made matters worse was the early own goal which Manchester conceded and ironically none of his friends noticed it ! Romit tried to divert their attention towards the game but to no effect. Rajat was talking about the Ajmal Kasab hanging which caught Suresh and Rajesh in a verbal duel. The cacophony was reaching it's crescendo and Romit couldn't bear it anymore. Excusing himself he got up from the sofa and taking the staircase entered his room.

Cursing his luck and his friends, he closed the shower. He didn't want to go down and listen to their incessant banter about Alps, cars or death penalty. What he wanted was some peace of mind to watch the match. And suddenly the moment of eureka occurred. He rushed back to his room, grabbed the cell phone and locked himself inside the loo. Sitting on the pot, he cursed himself. He should have thought about this earlier. He opened the Star Sports mobile app HotStar and well Manchester was leading the game, two goals to one.

Story 12

The ultimatum from Chinese government was plain and simple. Indians had to evacuate the Chinese occupied land by midnight. The growing stature of India have made the Chinese government insecure and they were not willing to cede their land to the growing power.
Already the Islamic National Union has attacked America and Russia. With the support of a number of South Asian countries, the Islamic National Union has grown stronger. Once popular as ISIS, they have declared war against humanity and no one was to be spared this time. The historians predicted that this could well be the start of the end. The final battle of human existence because everyone was as powerful as they wanted to be.
The Chinese government was reading the situation very carefully. The recent camaraderie between Iran and India has made them think that India might end up being diplomatic, which they have so often been, and give in all the necessary informations which China has trusted India with. As the protests among the Chinese started to grow India was also quick to retaliate. In a press conference the Indian government made it clear that they won't be responsible for any any Chinese citizens residing in the southern region of India, which was considered to be a stronghold of Chinese immigrants. They justified their action by stating the need to prioritize in this hour of need and right now it was more important to save their countrymen. Even the Marxists, who were strongly influenced by the Chinese communist ideologies, supported the government's decision terming it to be "more of a national issue which stood above petty party politics".
The deadline was drawing near. The Indians residing in Chinese were slowly moving out. Those who were willing to defy were served with government notice of deportation. There was no way out but to start the journey back. The airlines were becoming unreliable. Most of them ended up being hijacked and for these immigrants, there was no surety whether they would ever be able to see the light of the day. Similar scenes ensued in India as thousands of Chinese prepared to leave. Tears were becoming uncontrollable, the kids were shouting, humanity was questioned, Islamic National Union had bombed France.
The Chinese septuagenarian was standing quietly  in the departmental store, oblivious to what was happening outside. He was already past his prime and couldn't care less for his life. He had to find the tin food for his 8 months old grand daughter because she wouldn't stop crying.

Story 11

 Spain :
Hundreds of men, young and old, thronged the streets of Sevilla to protest the ban on fishing. In a recent order passed by the Spanish government, fishing has been considered illegal in the state of Sevilla. The order is mainly on the basis of a scientific experiment conducted by a group of Indian scientists who have infused philosophy with meta physics and has concluded that the fishes procured from Sevilla will prevent Spain from lifting the football world cup this year. The Spanish government have felicitated them and may infer honorary doctorate for their contribution to Spanish football. While the men protested on street to preserve their right, many confessed that their wives thought they were in West Wales pleading to the media not to disclose their name, the Spanish football team were in high spirits as they felt assured of at least a second round entry, contrary to what happened last year.

Story 10

The only train which crosses this station is a cargo carrier which whistles pass at 5:30 in the evening. Apart from it, this platform is desolate. Few would want a posting here but then Mr. Koogan specifically requested the senior officers to post him here, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the administration. Koogan loved the peace which this platform brought. Set far away from the humdrum of the city he enjoyed every bit of it. He was always like this - a peace loving, boring soul.

There was nothing special about today. He waved the green flag as the train whistled passed him. The silence haunted the platform but Koogan lovingly referred to it as the "Sound of Silence" his favorite soundtrack from his favorite film, The Graduate. As he sat down on the chair, lighting a pipe, he was mesmerized by the beauty of the sky. Overjoyed, he spoke out loud,"Aah ! You beauty !" "Are you talking to me ?" Koogan literally jumped out of his skin. He never knew that sky could speak. Flabbergasted, he asked aloud, "Who and where the hell are you ?" 'Right behind your back" came the reply. Turning back, he saw a guy with a cloak and helmet like structure around his face. He had never seen someone as obnoxious as this guy. "Halloween came early. Eh ?" he asked the stranger. The flat voice replied, "I think you got me wrong. I am Darth Vadar." "Your parents didn't find a better name? Eh Sonny ? I am in no mood for a joke. What the hell do you want ?", the irritation was predominant in Koogan's voice. "I am Darth Vadar. And you don't know me ? Half of the world knows my dialogues, I am a continuous reference in most of the films, sitcoms. Probably I am the best thing which happened to literature. And still you don't know me ?" "Why do I need to know you?" Koogan asked exasperatedly. Darth Vadar sighed. "They were right. The story is untold to many." And with one deep, long breath Darth Vadar started the story of  his journey. The story of Star Wars.

And this is what Netflix does the best. Brings the movie home.

Story 9

Kishukey Marasami was running down the road. He had no clue where he was but he knew the only way to survive now was to run.

The enemies have attacked the world and they have spared not a single square meter of space from their planned massacre. The scientists had predicted that the Kryptos will attack the world but no one believed that the prophecy will come true so early. The world was eager to know about the Kryptos back then. Many had questioned the sanity of the scientists as they believed that the prolonged scientific research (successful) on curability of cancer has resulted in the lack of job opportunities for most of the scientist. Because there was nothing left to be invented. Everything and anything was available now. Whatever has been the needs of homo sapiens have been provided by the scientists. The last wish was eradication of cancer and with the achievement of that the average life expectancy of human was considered to be 1000 years now. But the scientists had warned that earth will meet it's death. This utopian scenario of existence was just the trigger for the culmination of civilization. The satellites predicted an attack from Kryptonite a smaller 'pseudo earth' structure which was inhabited by these greazy, smelly, one eyed Kryptos. They were just waiting for a chance to conquer the world.

As Kishukey ran towards a godown one of the Kryptos attacked him. The martial arts expert in him tried to counter the attack. But whatever he threw at them, these greasy fellows would not give up. Kishukey heard women screaming, kids running past him. Fear got the better of him as he turned back and decided to run. Pushing the gates inside, he entered the godown. A crane was putting a huge box inside a jizomo, the advanced version of once popular aeroplane. Kishukey leaped inside the box and fell on a bohemian old man who smiled and told him that he was on his way to the Kumbh Mela in India when Kryptos attacked. He managed to get inside this huge box and since then he has never felt so much safe. As it went inside the jizomo Kishukey saw a huge number of people inside jostling for a bit of space. The jizomo closed and an announcement was made, "Welcome to DHL Express. We try harder."
