Everyone has their own views about a topic or in this case a story...lot of times what writer writes needs a lot more finishing...here i am trying to create an opportunity for every one to add what they feel about where this story should be heading. I wrote the first part of it and would want the others to write the rest of it...lets see where you want to take the characters in the story.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Priyanka, I am going for lunch” Aditya said in his usual careless way. Aditya, a good looking guy, not very well built but has worked hard enough to be in shape. He has never cared about others, but is always the center of attention among his friends and the life of any party. Parties cannot begin without him, is what his friends think. “Is Aditya coming?” is the first question if you want to invite ladies to the party. He is always like a Sun in solar system. He is very well knows for his romantic personality and uncountable affairs. His father Mr. Misra is a famous surgeon in the country and also abroad. 5 out of his 12 months he is traveling around the globe, either for seminar, as a visiting professor or in most occasions for some complicated surgery. Earns tons of money, much more than needed for a family of 5 and bunch of servants. Basically, Aditya was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He has always got what he wanted or even more, always did what he wanted to do. Every thing he did was supported by his family, financially and morally as well. He went to school in Darjeeling, as all rich people do, to get so called better education, and thus thinks he is the best educated person. He also has degrees from abroad though. He went to Europe for higher education after he completed his high school from India. He had money to afford to go to different places and also traveled with his father to many different countries. A very reputed family in the country and well known personality among his friend belongs to Aditya. Priyanka looked at him and continued her work. Priyanka, a decent girl with a god gifted look was born and raised in a typical middle class family. The eldest of all, had lot of expectation from her parents and younger sisters as well. Her only brother, youngest of 4 was loved by every one, thus was spoiled child. Her father was about to retire from his government job. And mere pension was, barely enough for them to support financially. She had responsibility over her family over her younger sisters, the responsibility to educate them, the responsibility to lead them and the responsibility to guide them the right way. Priyanka went to one of the boarding schools in the valley. Not one of the top, but good enough to provide her a good education and a stable career. She has pretty good career as well. Working in a private company as marketing personnel is not bad at all. She earns well enough to support her family at the moment. She has shown her working ability as an employee. Like every girl, she has a dream a dream to find a perfect guy, who would understand her feeling, her ups and downs. A guy who is by her side when she needs him, a person who can guide her when needed, a guy who could make her feel secured. She is no different than any of her friends, but she has responsibility towards her family before she can think of anything else. She was in love, a long time ago. When she was in school, but the responsibility towards her family and the pressure of being the eldest in the family shattered her dream. Since then she is completely devoted to her family, never thought about her dreams, but could not get out of it either. It is buried somewhere in her heart, the pressure from closed and conservative society like our, could easily pull that out from the coffin. ‘When are you going for lunch, Aavas’ her question to Aavas. ‘We can go together’ a quick reply from Aavas with a smile. Aavas; another employee in the same company. He has been working in the company for a while. He is a computer major, but also has Accounting background, so mostly works with accounting packages. Old school calls him accountant, but does not work with ledgers and journal vouchers. Not a hardcore accountant, but spends good enough time with accounts. He was born and raised in modern, yet upper middle class family. Financially not so weak, he is fond of working. His dad owns a company, an export company that exports handicrafts to various European countries and US. He is there to learn something. Always eager to learn, Aavas has learned a lot from his present work. He wants to expand the business his dad started, so is always willing to work on any field and has never said NO to any thing. He has been favorite among all his co-workers and his boss, the owner and CEO of the company Mr. Singh loves him as his own son. He has been able to create a room for himself in the company. As of today, if he leaves that company, there are tons of clients that would follow him and leave the company. They are in there because of Aavas, and they only deal with Aavas. Aavas, represents company for them, they don’t care about the CEO, not about the anyone else. Aavas, a highly professional, softspoken and the loved one of all, studied in very reputed School in the valley, got his MBA from KCM and his Computer degree from PU. He is all about making friends, and being loved. Every one loved him, wherever he went. His friends love him, his professors ignored his mistakes (if he made any), his seniors respect him and his co-workers can’t work without him. A perfect friend and an employee with very high level of professionalism is Aavas. In these 5 years with the company, he has been very successful to separate his personal life with professional life. He lives with a theory, ‘personal life should be separate from professional life’ and he would do any thing to keep it separate. Life always doesn’t take people the way they want to go… ‘Aavas, lets go for lunch…’ Prianka’s voice distracts Aavas. Aavas’ theory of life…he himself crossed the fine line he created…not knowing he already did…or may be lunch with Prianka was a personal life…he won’t be at work at that time… There is something about the lunch time, that makes him eager, his table clock gets stared in every 5 mins…if it be a possibility, he would change the speed of time…he would run the time until lunch and keep it still…stop it…bring the world to a hault… ‘Kata jaaney?’ Aavas asked Priyanka… ‘Same thaau jaaney ni hunna…??’ Priyanka suggested a place Both of their favorite place was Gazabko, located at Kamalpokhari, on Marcopolo Business Hotel. She loves their chicken salad sandwich and coffee. Both of them get there and place an order…a very cozy environment at Gazabko is really very impressive, and service is not bad either…but surprises is the way to live…expect the unexpected… ‘Timi haru pani yeta…hi honey…’Aditya tried to address both but immediately ignored Aavas. Aavas did not like the later part…but didn’t say anything, just smiled. ‘I was bored by myself…do you mind if I join you…I believe not…’ he invited himself and accepted it immediately. ‘Bhai…mero order yehi table maa lyaaideu hai…’(can you bring my order to this table) Aditya…he has a very outstanding skill…making friends, he can blend himself in any kinda situation, he has that tone, people always like, a very good sense of humor. Aavas in the other hand is kinda reserved. He thinks before he says something, he thinks about the consequences, results and if someone gets hurts of his words. Sensitive person is what would be a better word to describe him. Aditya started to talk about his Europe tour…how he was busted in Germany…how many bars did he visited in The Netherlands…how he ran away from Boarding while in India…his life was full of interesting incidents…every day he gets into some incidents. Aditya would make jokes of his own life and incidents…Priyanka would laugh at it…Aavas would just smile at them ‘So…Priyanka where did you say, you live again ???’ he threw a question at her ‘Kupondol…’ one word answer ‘Where about in Kupondol...???’ Aditya asked again ‘Hanuman mandir bata bhitra jaanu parcha, alikati…’ Priyanka replied ‘Do you know that place..???’ Priyanka asked after a pause ‘Ooh yea, I was born in kathmandu…I have to know the places’ he carelessely answerd Through the entire lunch, Aavas was quiet…just smiling and nodding his head...didnot say much. Days were passing by…they’d go for lunch together…three of them…Aditya, not a popular name among clients and his superiors is the center of attention on the floor though. He makes everyone laugh…his superb sense of humor has make him known among his colleagues. One fine morning, he came to work… !!!Attention everyone!!! ‘Its my birthday today, if u forgot…’ He started ‘I’ve organized a little party for all my friends…and all you are invited…’ he continued ‘…And I’ll come to pick you up…’ he said to Priyanka walking
