Who am I?

Quirky Being

Ravi used to live alone that's what people used to feel but once they would have entered his bachelor pad they would have realized that he was not alone. But the way I am. I love to be ignored. That's how I stay alive.I hope you guys are curious to know what it takes to hide me? If present in the physical world then it's just doors and windows, if I end up being inside you then just tight lips.

The First Encounter “You come to the library to read and you can’t read the sign at the door. Keep Silence! This is a library, not an amusement park if you have some talks to do then go outside but not here” said the librarian. “But sir we are studying only not gossiping. I was struggling to solve the question and he was helping me” said the boy. The librarian turned to Raghav. The 15-year-old lad was prepared for a blast in his ears, but the old librarian had lowered his pitch when he asked “Are you a teacher?” “Do I look so old?” wondered...

Quirky Being

Submitted to Contest #89

The grass was almost touching their knees but it did not bother them, as Sushil and Garima whirled over the earthy dance floor. Sushil going down on his knees to propose to her was a bonus over the fact that after so many years she had met him in person again, at the same place where they had seen each other for the last time. She was wandering in the open corridors of the building which used to be her school when a voice from her back made her stop on her way. “Hey!” The voice was from the person she had never forgotten. Sushil, the guy she...
