A story begins....

PROLOGUE

There was something in his stare that made me sure that he knew I was lying.
If that was it, then fine. Let him know.
Still, something in me shivered.
What would he do if I did really tell him the truth?

"Sanjay, are you sure that the interview has been cancelled?"

I weighed my words. It was now or never.
Not never, now or later.
Either way, I was going to bear the brunt.

"Yes, Shiva."

He sighed. Maybe he believed me.

"Has it been postponed?"

"Well... No."

"Then?"

"They gave the job to someone the CEO knew."

"All this a farce? I don't believe you."

There it was, out in the open, between us.
He had spoken his mind.
Now, would I speak my heart?

And a note of thanks......

Whew! That was one whole load of posts!!

I really began it out with the view to just have small short stories based on a whole truckload of imagination.... But then, something kept urging me to keep going at it... My very first mini-novel....

And yup.... To the two people who stayed by and kept reading through each post with the same enthusiasm from the beginning.... Karz and Pari.... And to some of you who stayed by till you could... Thanks a lot.....
It helped to get me at it....

And kept me typing all that crap....


Somewhere along the way, I really fell in love with both Shriya and Krish, the protagonists who helped carry the emotional load that I was stuffing on them.....

Model characters..... And very very real people, who could make a few dreams come true....

And yes.... A little bit of truth at the fag end of it all....
All these characters are based on real living breathing people...People whom I admire and people who I wish I could get to know better.....

Keep checking...... More posts on........... :P
