    I think I remember the day when I first came home with my parents. Well, they say we usually don’t have any memories so early in life but I do feel that I remember that day…Dad was going ballistic and mom wouldn’t leave my side! I had these huge faces peering at me, making weird expressions.

    My growing up years were the best. I would never leave my mother for a moment except when dad would take me out to play…Life these 14 years has been the best. I could say I had the best parents anyone can have. Now my time is up. I am going to leave my parents forever..I’m dying. What will happen to them after I leave?

    Just Holding..

    Araav, an 80-year-old man is on his deathbed; but does not want to leave the world now because he has found something to live for, which he sought ever since he can remember. He does not remember much about his life, though; in fact he does not even remember his name. But whenever he closes his eyes he remembers that in his young days he used to pray - practically everyday, “God give me something to cherish or take me

    Wow… amazing stories you guys have here… think I should give you all a free PFC tshirt.

  12. OM on June 10th, 2007 4:03 pm

    28 is no age to die. 28 is too young. To die is to remove the ” aatma” from your body….28 years of predictable life…everyday of life ” copied” from peers…everyday of life you live as to how others want you to live…one year Mo finds what he has been missing…something he really is having fun with…something that brings a genuine smile on his face…something that drives him further…and everyone wants to take it away…

    Why does he have to go back to the wilderness in crowd…why does he have to mirror himself with the crowd..why isnt he allowed to swim upstream…he wants nirvana in crowd…All he wants is..” go ahead…live your life” from his folks…all he gets is ” When are you getting married? its high time…you are 28″

    Name of the story: 28 years of wilderness in crowd

    OM - rejected, 131 words
    HG - rejected, 98 words
    Atray - rejected, 104 words
    Vasan - rejected, 99 words
    Srinivas - rejected, 121 words

    Guys, can’t accept your stories since they have to be EXACTLY 100words.

    word count done via, Microsoft Word

    Question: Should the editors’ delete stories that do not fall under the 100 count rule? I think we should… what say you?

    I was pacing up and down in my cell. I am being hanged tomorrow morning. I desperately need to escape. I told my mother to somehow smuggle in that stuff that will help me escape. I really need that stuff…”Hey, there is a parcel for you”…I ran towards him and grabbed it.

    I went to my corner and secretly took opened the pack and took out the thing that will help me escape”! Hey! That’s me, with my best friend in first class! And..that’s me at the beach! I can escape now…die peacefully. I just wanted to see these photos…

    Why did I choose to work on a Sunday?
    And knowing fully well that there was a maintenance shutdown.
    And bloody hell it was lunch time and I am all alone here!
    Wish I had an equally forgetful wife! Yesterday was our wedding anniversary!
    Shit! I should have listened to my father on his advice on yoga!
    Here I am shouting for my life while diabetes and hypertension suck the life out of me.
    At least I made my moneybag plan premium payment!!
    Is some one there!!!
    Wait!! I hear some foot steps! Where did I keep my cell phone?

Three daughters of a family saved from rape and molestation by fundametalists… Police Medal for bravery…She stood tall and declared it was her father who inculcated valour and courage in her…She was replica of her mother…I was shocked and felt a pang of deprivation.Her father proudly hugged his wife Jyothu …who had a far off look…I okayed the story for telecast with faith in undying love.

    Hospital bed. My lungs are throwing a fit.

    Geeta whispers, “Hang in there, honey. Dad’s supposed to call for your advice. His piles flared up.”

    I gasp…

    “Be nice. Let Dad take your designer undies (now),” my wife continues. “He’s been asking you all these months…

    “You know Dad loves you.” I rewind to Jan 13
