“Ashish and Nilesh are still not here, they are so late!” said Sachin to Ganesh and Prabhat. “They said they will bring the cold drinks and snacks, so they will surely take some time.” said Prabhat. “Let me put some funky cassette in the player, let’s enjoy the songs till they come,” said Ganesh. It was year 1997 and five teenage friends were celebrating New Year party, and for Sachin it was first time he was doing party without parents.

My school was and still is the best in the town. Students from my school always topped the inter-school competitions of dance, debate and science exhibition. It was year 1994 when I was in ninth and I was good in studies. I always wore neatly cleaned and ironed clothes. My shoes were always cleaned and polished. Every teacher and school mates said about me that Mukesh is a good boy.My school library had the highest collection of books in the town.

I was travelling back to my home from office on my scooter. It was 8.20 pm and was already dark. My mind was completely whirling with opinions since I came out of my Editor Mr Abhinav’s cabin.

Orange rays of setting Sun travelling through the branches of the trees touched me through the window, but could lighten nothing inside me. That place beside the window is where I sit for hours, in company of a mild but persistent headache and never passing body pain. It is vividly visible that nature follows a routine, a cycle, a pattern that transforms the world around and that’s how life keeps going. But what happened seven months ago has frozen the nature inside me, and left me only with the pain in my heart and body both. I always grie...
