1. SMOKE

Deva had no option but to accept to his partner’s idea. Even though the idea had a lot of danger he

accepted it. He prepared his mind and body for the plan. His partner Shiva came half an hour late. Deva

was very horrified, he asked Shiva tell the plan once again. Now Shiva got tensed and explained it once

again. While he was doing it, a sweat drop fell from his forehead and reached the paper which had the

complete hand-made sketch of Aspire Jewellery.

Robbing a Jewellery shop is not an easy job. It involves a lot of planning and equipment. After successful

robbery one should have proper plan to convert the rob to cash without getting caught. Deva and Shiva

are sales guys for a medical company. They never knew that they will end up as robbers.

A small incident let them in to this act. Shiva and Deva collected sum of 5 lacks from a pharmaceutical

company. When they was returning to company they stopped for fagging.

They fagged, when they were about to start they realized that their cash bag was missing. Oh! Crap what

the F&*!K. They asked everyone around that place. But no one’s response was useful. They can’t go back

to their company empty-handed. They switched off their mobiles and started to blame one another. But

nothing helped. Shiva said “let us sell something and re-pay the amount”. But there are lot of legal

problem in that.

After serious thinking almost smoking 10 cigarettes they came to a conclusion that “We will rob a Bank”.

Then they realized robbing a bank is very tough task and we may get caught easily by the serial numbers

from the currency note. So they decided to go for gold. Choosing a jewellery shop was another tough

task. They picked Aspire jewellery as its designs are very famous. So there will be plenty of people who

will have such kind of design. Selling those models will not be a problem at all.

Deva had no option but to accept to his partner’s idea. They waited for night. They know about chemicals

so their plan also started with chemicals. First they had to pass through the security and there were

plenty of them. Combining some chemical will create a smoke storm which will make them unconscious

for almost 3 hours. But how to reach them? For each task they had to plan for their counterpart. They

had everything figured out. They got everything they want and geared up for robbery.

They started to execute the first plan, they threw the hand cylinders from one building to another and

there was a thick fog. One after the other the security guys fainted. They HIFI’d and slowly stepped in.

They used another chemical composition to melt the lock. It look 15mins. They successfully entered the

building. Deva said our first step is cut the CCTV power. They reached the power room but the CCTV wires

are already cut.

They found they are not alone in the shop. They got company for the robbery. Deva looked through the

key hole and said “there are 10 -12 men who is already robbing the store”. Worst thing is they had Guns


and weapons. If they go out of the power room then they will be shot dead by the robbers. They did not

know what to do. Deva was so terrified and he stated to pray god. He saw the AC plant room, good thing

is they were running. He opened the split AC vent and poured some chemicals.

The robbers started to faint one after the other. They had the handy mask and they wore it from the AC

vapour. After 1 hour they opened the room and they went near the first person and saw a big backup.

Slowly they opened it and they saw a lot of money. There should be more than 5 lacks. After a long

whispered discussion they decided to take the bag and leave the place. They left the place with flurry of

money.

They gave the 5 lacks to the company and they shared the rest of the money. And in Television the news

reader said “There was a major robbery attempt in Aspire jewellery” the visual showed 12 man

handcuffed. And the news reader continued “9 lacks was robbed from GT bank”. What the F$%K did he

say 9 lacks.

Deva and Shiva froze in time. And the TV continued with an AD saying “SMOKING KILLS”.


2. LOVE IS BLIND

I never knew I will undergo so much pain. The agonizing pain almost killed me. May be I am new to this, I

was never betrayed by a girl before. Friends told me you can’t be a successful until you taste the failure. I

learned that the hard way now.

I always wear only checked shirts, after she said “I look great in checks”. I had to travel for 1 hour to see

her for just 2 minutes. I sacrificed many things for her my cricket coaching, my treats, my bike rides, my

friends, food, my mom’s love, my sister quarrel, etc.

I am looking back to see what all I have missed all these days. Normally if you lose something it will come

back to you in a different form. When you lose your weight, you will get shape. If you lose your money

you will get sadness and unexplainable fear. I lost my love what will I get? I realized I grew a long beard

now.

She was totally not from this land. She looked heavenly. The way she speaks the way she carries herself.

Woof! God must be at his best when she was created. She has sparkling face with shining eyes. How

could I even do that? How did I miss her?

It was raining heavily that day. I never spoke to her before. That was the day she spoke to me. We all

waited under the bus shelter to board the bus. It was so dark and there where lot of people standing

under the shelter. She ran towards the shelter. She was completely drenched I can’t help my eyes. She

reached the shelter and stood next to me.

It was getting darker and darker, the god of rain did the cupid role and threw a heavy lighting. But I got

shock, she grabbed my hand and hold it tight. How could I describe the feeling? I wanted to hug her and

tell her don’t worry I am here. My dreams did not lost for more than a min. She withdrew her hands

quickly realizing she almost crushed my bones.

Days passed by we got little bit closer. She started to speak with me. She wiggle her hair whenever she

talks to me. I admire her a lot. She knows that I love her. But girls want to hear the LOVE word spelled out

loudly.

Another rainy day. Rainy days are always fun, the chillness, cloths feel very different. I gel’d my hair and

made it look damp to match the climate. Plan is to go to coffee shop, I came much early as every male

lover does. I saw her trying to cross the road. I was sitting near the glass door. I drew the letter ‘L’ in the

vapour. I wanted to complete but something else happened.

She was holding her umbrella and was trying to cross the street. She did not notice the red light, she was

hit by a car. She was thrown away for the place her handbag, umbrella, bangles were all over.

I never knew I will undergo this much pain. The agonizing pain killed me almost. Everything froze in time I

did not blink my eyes, my heart stopped. I felt my lungs in my mouth. I ran towards her, blood all around.

I lifted her and her head was full of blood and it was hot. I did not know if she was breathing. I kept my

ears over her heart and listened, it slowly stopped.


Someone called for 108 (Ambulance) my brain did not made to think in sensible way. They took her to

nearby hospital. I collected all her belongings and got in to the ambulance. The letter that I wrote in glass

is for LOVE or for LOST. I don’t know.

Doctor came out of the operation theatre and said she is out of danger but problem is she forgot last few

month memory. That is my episode in her life. She could not remember me. What the F**K!, A

carelessness in following traffic signal graved my LOVE.

If you want GREEN in your LIFE, then STOP for RED. Now I am standing

again in the same bus stop to re-win her heart!


3. VIOLENCE

You don’t worry I am here. I will protect you till my last breath said Pandiyan. Pandiyan is truthful

follower of the politician MLA Arumainaygam. Pandiyan never took a day off, he stays with the party

members from dawn to dusk. He tattooed the party symbol on his chest. A die-hard disciple of the party.

Recently Arumainaygam got life threating call from his opposite party. Prakasam is very powerful man

and he runs several business and he is ex-MLA for the same ward (locality). Ravi is called as right hand for

Prakasam.

These two parties will always have disputes. This time Paraksam is going large. They planned to murder

Arumainaygam but they wanted to look like an accident. Killing Arumainaygam will leave no choice but to

hold bi-election in that locality. This news somehow reached Pandiyan. So he said “You don’t worry I am

here, I will protect you till my last breath.”

That evening Pandiyan called his friend and devised a plan to assault Ravi. Killing Ravi will surely bring in

tremendous fear in Paraksam party. Pandiyan explained all about Ravi. And they planned the assault

plan. Every Friday Ravi will go to temple, we will kill him there said Pandiyan and he continued with rest

of his plan.

Ravi came out of the car and suddenly a beggar rammed him. He had Sammbar in his vessel and he

completely poured on Ravi. Ravi yelled at him and even went to beat him. But later understood the

beggar was mentally retard. He rushed towards the tap area to clean his cloths. Ravi reached for a tap. As

soon as he stepped in he could not hold his balance and he fell off. His head hit a sharp stone and death

was instant.

No one knew that was a planned murder. Even Ravi himself did not realize that he was in a death trap.

Another angle of Ravi’s murder. As soon as Ravi stepped out of the car, Pandiyan gave the sammbar

vessel to his friend who is extremely disguised as mentally retard. When Ravi was shouting at the beggar

Pandiyan placed some oily pebble near the tap area. The drops from the tap made it more slippery and

he placed some sharp stone all around the place randomly. Ravi reached the tap place exactly as they

expected then the pebble did the rest.

Everyone is happy at the one end and the other end moaned for Ravi’s death. The case was closed as

normal death. Days passed one day Pandiyan was walking along with his wife and kid. Some random kid

collided with his son. He spilled Ice cream on his son. He bent down to clean the Ice cream. But suddenly

he realized that was trap. A long rod from the roof top dropped exactly over his head.

Violence is not the answer to any problem. A man who take violence as his

weapon will die because of his same weapon choice.


4. LOVE@SOCIALMEDIA

What should I do now! I am confused! All this social media makes me sick. I have spent almost all this

week but I could not find Anusha. Anusha is my childhood friend and my classmate. We studied together

till 7th grade. I still could not forget her moon like graceful face. We grew up together, unfortunately she

had to relocate as her father got transferred to Mumbai. They moved to Mumbai. It all ran in to my mind

in black and white mode.

Ok, one more try “Anusha Mumbai”, 568 results found, Oh! God! How do I find her? I closed my laptop

and went to bed. The ceiling was my LCD theater. I ran my mind visuals like a movie and saw everything

about her and the time we spent together in HD. I did not realize when I slept.

It was a perfect day! After one week break attending my cousin’s marriage in Hyderabad I am back to

work. Long journey yeah, but my Android phone kept me going. Travelling with family is another big deal.

You can’t be yourself. Every time I have to make the fake smile to aunties and uncles. But thanks to my

smart phone. It has many aspects to keep me engaged. Throughout my travel course I twitted, re-twitted,

shared my location status, liked, commented and +1-ed posts. Tried every option to locate Anusha. But

no luck.

Work place is even cooler for me because I am web developer so I stay online all the time. My endless

search started again. Cling! A mail popped up. A comment has be posted to your article. Another Spam! I

exhaled and opened that mail. I write a lot and post it on my blog. People send their real comments and

bots send their spam comments. I deal with both. I checked the comments. It said “True!” from

“anuishere11” on “What is Trust?”.

I have an odd feeling about this. My hunch said it could be Anusha. My lizard brain worked. I rolled my

sleeves and started to track back this user. I opened my article and saw the comments and approved it.

Once I approve a comment from a user all the future comments will be automatically approved. I got

flurry of comments from “anuishere11” I was left with no choice but to find this person.

For sure I Know this user is a female. I dropped an email personally and asked few questions! Bang on I

got a reply. Are you Roshan from Coonor? No doubt! She is Anusha! I replied yes! Shall we chat? My chat

program jumped! I never felt so high in my whole life. I was very much excited!

Roshan: Hi! Anusha: Man! I never dreamt I will find you again! Roshan: Me too! Are you in Mumbai? Anusha: No, we are in Shimla! Damm! What a fool am I? All these days I did a wrong location search. How in this world I would know she is in Shimla. We continued our chat. We started from college to work. She is a doctor now. Brainy! As always. We are now friends in almost all social media. And in all possible mobile Apps from Whatsapp to Wechat.


Life was extraordinary! Until I got that IM in whatsapp. I am getting engaged do you want to come to

Shimla. What! Are you getting engaged! Yes next month, Wedding is after couple of months. My heart

applied a break to my thoughts like MRF radial break ad. I almost smelled the burning smell.

I was in my own imaginary world. I now realized that is all gone! I have to reset my mind. I never said I

love her. But my heart said that! It was my difficult time. I did not go to her engagement and wedding.

After 4 months, I see photos of Anusha couple all over social media. What should I do now! I am

confused! All this social media making me sick.

An email popped “A comment has be posted to your article” this time it said “preeti_onlie89”. Ok I am

back in action! Rolled my sleeves and started to search “preeti_onlie89”.

There is always a better option!


5. SNOOZED LOVE

There were 5 missed calls from Reshma in Melvin’s Phone. He was supposed to pick her up from the

Airport. Reshma is coming to Chennai for the first time. Her flight landed by 5.30 AM. Melvin burnt the

midnight oil to complete his annual report. He was so tired and slept. His alarm ringed at 5 AM. He

snoozed the alarm by habit. Now it is 7.30 AM. He realized that he has to pick up Reshma.

1 Year Before:

The queue was very long to check in for Delhi flights. Indigo airline is well known for its punctuality.

Melvin was a software trainer and he travels all around India to conduct training sessions. Melvin was

standing at the last and he was very calm and composite. He is a guy who doesn’t speak much. Reshma

stood before Melvin. She was continuously seeing her watch, the information kiosk and she was restless.

Today:

Melvin put on his cloths and rushed towards Airport. He called Reshma repeatedly but it was switched

off. He panicked but he did not show that off. He raised the bike throttle and it reached 100Km/HR in no

seconds. In the next signal he was caught by cops for over speeding. He forgot all his papers and top of

that he did not wear his helmet.

1 Year Before:

Melvin got the window seat and he sat in his seat. Reshma came looking for her seat number and she got

the aisle seat which is next to Melvin’s seat. She asked Melvin for a swap and he realized that this is her

first flight. When a beautiful girl like Reshma asks who will say no. He gave his seat. Reshma was so happy

and she started to explore everything in the flight.

Today:

Sir, I just have 500 RS. Please sir! I have to go to airport someone is waiting for me. He pleaded to the

police officer and finally managed to get out of him. It is already 8.30 AM. By 9.00 AM he reached Airport

and he could not find her. She went to the Coffee lounge no sign of Reshma. He ran all around the place

like a lunatic. He enquired everyone but no one’s answer was promising.

1 Year Before:

Thanks for choosing emergency exit as your seat! Said the airhosts to Reshma. She went on explaining

many instructions to her. Melvin was smiling and she noticed his smile. When the flight took off, Reshma

threw up due to her flight sickness. Melvin’s pant and shirt was completely messy and he could not do

anything about that. Reshma become unconscious and she looked very pale. Melvin managed to clean up

his shirt, pants and as well Reshma. She was sleeping all the way from Kolkata to Delhi on Melvin’s

shoulder.


Today:

Melvin was standing in the middle of the airport everyone was busy doing their work. He was confused

and he kept his hands on his head and he realized he missed her. And his life is screwed big time. A man

crossed him was talking over his phone “Airport has a good hospital facility”. What Hospital facility. Then

he realized about her flight sickness and asked him about the hospital and ran towards it.

1 Year Before:

Hello! Is someone is coming to pick you up asked Melvin. Reshma nodded her head, yes my dad is

coming. The landing part made her sicker and Melvin did not want her to leave as such. He helped her

out with her luggage and finally met his father. He father thanked him very much and insisted to come to

their house. He accepted it halfhearted and reached her house. Every one took care of him very much

and some kids took photos with him. He returned to his hotel and realized her phone is with him. His love

started from there. It is almost a year they are in love.

Today:

As soon as he entered the hospital he checked in reception and found Reshma was admitted there. He

took a deep breath and he got a big relief. His happiness did not long last as he saw someone had signed

for her. He reached the ward area and found some handsome guy is standing. Reshma said “I did that

once again!” thank god Karthick was there. Hi! Karthick thanks for your help. Melvin thought for a second

and asked for her phone. Oh! Yes, he just checked his pocket and gave her phone. Melvin was much more

relieved. Missing the phone and giving back the phone drama ignited Love in between Melvin and

Reshma. He did not want that to happen between Karthick and Reshma. Melvin said thanks for

everything and asked him to leave.

From that day he realized if you forget your duties even there is good chance you will miss your LOVE.

Never go late to your bed. And make sure you wake up in right time.

Never go late to your bed. And make sure you wake up in right time.


6. TRAFFIC, MONEY, GIRLFRIEND

No Sir, I can’t do this. Sankar! I can’t do this without your help said Guna. Guna is senior and he

is going to get retired in another 3 months. Guna continued “All you have to do this to change

the signal light when I signal”. That is all and I will take care of the rest. Sankar and Gunu are

traffic cops in Chennai. They were doing their duty in Chrompet. Lots of vehicles pass by in that

stretch.

Daddy all are going to Ooty for an excursion in my school. Daddy I too want to go pleaded

Sankar’s son. Please give me 1500 rupees. What 1500 rupees? Kamala what is this? Yes,

everyone is going let him go said Kamala. Do you think I am software employee? I am just a

traffic police, I have to work from morning 8 to evening 8 to earn my salary said Sankar. He put

on his duty dress and went to work.

Gopal, is car ready? Yes sir, Gopal opened the car and Amar got inside the car. Amar is a business

man and he is the proud owner of BMW. Gopal is very skilled driver and Amar always trust him.

That day Amar asked his girlfriend Reema to come to Mahindara City which is near Chengalpet.

Amar house is at Velacherry and he has to cross Chrompet to go to Mahindara City. He did not

want Gopal to know about his secret girlfriend so he asked him to get rest of the day off. Amar

took his BMW car and started towards Mahindara City.

No sir, I can’t do this. Sankar did not get convinced by Guna’s plan. The plan is too risky. Sankar

has to stand near the signal switch the green to red in no time. And Guna will come from

nowhere and catch the vehicle who passes the signal and get bribe out of them. Guna told him I

am the one who is talking the life chance. You don’t worry and you will get 40 and I will get 60

whatever we get. Sankar agreed to the plan halfhearted. They did a trial run and got hold of a

biker and got money.

Reema, Yes I am on my way! I know you are standing there, I need to get rid of Gopal or it will be

a big problem. I will be there in another 10 minutes. Oh! God! He applied break heavily in spite

of that he rammed Guna and he was thrown a mile away. Still Amar could not control his speed

he rammed against the traffic post and it fell off on Sankar’s leg. Everything happened in a single

blink rate.

Just going few seconds back. Sankar! We got 1000 rupees and we have left rest of the day. We

should make more money as possible as you can said happily Guna. From now we should do this

to four wheelers. The risk is high but that is calculated risk that we can take. Guna spotted a

Speeding BMW and he guessed that should be some rich man’s car. It reached the signal point,

Guna shook his hand Sankar switched the signal and rest is Doppler Effect.

Amar got down of the car he ran towards Guna and several people gathered all around.

Someone in the crowd said beat that Bast%^d. Suddenly Sankar came in limping and said No! Do


not do anything. One good thing is there is a hospital nearby so they took Guna to the hospital

everything is in complete chaos.

After two months Guna got recovered but his hand and legs are not functional. Sankar got his

leg twisted and he was declared to be unfit for the field duties. Amar was charged for cellphone

driving and his girlfriend Reema found another boyfriend. Sankar is now working in Police

records office and Guna got retired. No one knew that this happened because of Guna’s and

Sankar plan.

But now Sankar, Guna and Amar learned many things “Truth only Triumphs”,

“Never misuse your power”, “Do not speak and drive”, “Learn to live with

what you got”, “Live by your consensus”
