Desperate Apu, walked away from the premises of the company after having a tiff with the security personnel. Apu is not convinced to accept the reason the security person told for shutting the company indefinitely on the day he went to receive the job offer letter. Eventually it resulted in cornering Apu, not only to leave the company but this goddamn world. Apu seems not bothered about his walking in the expressway in which all the cars raced at rocket speed. Nothing stopped him from his mission to kill himself.
Life couldn't be better than this for Apu. Driving the imported car in the expressway gave him the pleasure of owning it leaving behind the sordid faced boss. He rewinds his memoirs to remind himself what all he would’ve missed if he succeeded in his attempt to kill himself in the same expressway. He giggled to himself thinking of all the joy he has got. Happiness flooded all over his feet on his last day as a driver which he tried to hide from his boss.
Looking at the driver, Apu thought about his whirlwind life. He precisely remembered the days when he was in the driver’s seat of the lavish car and his life and the bliss he had on those days till the last moment in that profession. Owning a car didn’t give the pleasure of driving it to Apu. He is scared of losing what all he got. Momentarily he cursed god for saving him from a suicide that he attempted almost two decades before and provided with all the glee in the world and now threatening to take it all back.
When he succeeded in convincing the pawn broker for granting him oxygen for the next month by pledging against his offer letter which he is going to get from the company, Apu never imagined about such a situation would happen the very next day. He walked right in to the middle of the expressway and stood still. Though many cars raced against him, nothing came in the lane where Apu is standing dejected. Finally he decides to wreak havoc in the expressway.
At the Zenith of happiness, Apu wanted to reach the company earliest as he decided to resign the next minute he reach there, despite the brutal look from his boss for his rash driving. Staring at him through the rear mirror, Apu thought to himself “Poor fellow, always in distress”. Perhaps he doesn’t know the formula of being elated. Apu decided to increase the acceleration proportional to the intensity of his boss’s vindictiveness and tested the maximum speed for the last time.
Ignoring his driver’s ignorance, Apu decided to sack him the next minute he reaches his company. For a while Apu enjoyed the speed envisaging him in the driver’s shoe. He also thought about something in his mind and told to himself, OMG! Please let it happen.
Though all the cars managed to miss him, Apu never want to miss the next one. He is glad enough to realize that he is not going to confront a cheap car as soon as he saw an imported car came on his way.
Before reaching the destination Apu thanked the driver who saved his life and also the reason behind choosing this profession. All of a sudden, a decade old scene flashed into his mind. His body trembled to see the images right through the windshield. But the speed didn’t grant him consent to think whether it is real or just a hallucination. Apu lost the control of the car.
Finally for the last time the smile peeked from its hideout. Looking at his driver instability and the act of a maniac in the road, Apu became euphoric. He knows by his reminiscence what is going to happen within the next minute. He felt himself in the twilight zone.
Despite of losing the control of the car, Apu was firm in not to hit the person. He tried desperately to save him.
Apu opened his arms, yelled “Here it comes” and ran right in-front of the car.
After completing all the formalities to enter the company, enchanted Apu proceeded to get the offer letter not before a colleague of the security rushed to him and said boss was dead in a road accident and as a result the company will be shut indefinitely.

Mission : Save Earth
Fear & chaos blanketed the entire world. Reports of more UFOs across major countries added fuel to the fire. The big one halting below the sky of Dzerzhinsky, Russia is continuously sending signals right from the moment it arrived.The leaders of all the major countries decided not to waste any time in waiting for the attack or till the signals are decoded and trying for a conversation with them. All the leaders came to a consensus for the first time that the aliens came here for a purpose. And the purpose is to eradicate humans from earth.Everybody believed that it is looking for the right time to attack and continuously sending warning messages. All the forces across the world are on their toes and been alerted to start the attack before they do.
The brave speech by American President on this mission to save earth has aroused the spirit of everyone. He inculcated that we have the sole responsibility to save earth; its our home. And we are not going to let anyone alive whoever poses a threat to our home.
The Russian President gave an immediate order to evacuate Dzerzhinsky and other nearby towns. Initially it was decided to board them into ships and take them to mid-sea believing a theory that aliens don't like water. But the recent one halted above the Damanganga river in India made a change in plan. After much struggle, 90% of the town is evacuated in an incredible 72 hours.
Suddenly the signal stopped, and a swivel type door opened at the bottom of the ship. Everybody believed it as the end of the world. Upon orders from the Russian President and agreement from his counter parts, two nuclear missiles bombarded the ship. Similar attacks are carried on in Los Angeles and Linfen, China causing all other ships to return back to its den. A big sigh from all humans as the Mission : Save Earth is a success.
One escaped alien send a message to its leader:
The shocking news from planet earth revealed that earth become highly polluted with hazardous and toxic wastes generated as a result of its inhabitants lifestyle which is posing a big threat to the life of earth and all living creatures in it. So, we decided to help them by cleansing the earth with our new technology that will leave earth free from lead in the soil, toxins in the water and radioactive fallout in the air henceforth the humans can live healthy and peacefully. But failing to communicate with them in the right way, we lost most of our crew and ships and the worst part is, the earth become more intoxicated now with their nuclear attack on us. So now we are in the process of finding the right way to communicate with them before carrying out our next Mission : Save Earth.

War of Heart and Mind
From dawn to dusk, I couldn't stop this fight between my heart and mind.
My dear heart never stopped worrying about my love's life and her well being which my mind feels as a betrayal to my wife.
I can still remember the day when my godfather (for her too) called me to talk about my marriage. Initially I thought he understood the love his godchildren had and he will ring our wedding bells. He did. But separately. He pointed me the girl whom i have to marry and introduced me to the man to whom my love is committed. I dont have the courage to reveal my love to the godfather because I already know I'm not going to get her anyway.
Well... for my family, society and for all those stupid commitments I agreed. To be candid, she is the one who gave me a living, that is why i went ahead.
I took the life as it comes. My wife is the elder sister of my love. We all stayed in a same manor but different compartments.
I learned to love my wife. She is not as much glamorous or beautiful as her sister. But she is the most intelligent girl i ever met. I learned a lot by her. People respected me because of her. And looking at my love (she can be my ex-love, only when I stop loving her) residing just opposite to my door having a good wealthy and caring (which I initially thought) partner had warmed myself a bit.
As days rolled on, I started seeing the real suffer my love is undergoing. Her partner is not as much loving as he always pretend to. He doesn't shared a good relation with her parents either which ultimately affected her. Mistake may be on her parents too. Whatever, she is not happy.I cant control my worries and reported to my godfather, the abuses she face by him. Though he also worried about her sufferings,he replied me in three words. "Its their life". May be he thought to himself, "First you take care of the one with full heart who you really have to".
My mind very well knows that, but my heart refuses to take it that easily. It might be because of my feeling that no one can take care of my love better than me. I hope its true. And i believed it blindly because of the love I had on her from my childhood.
On one rainy day, relaxing myself in my couch I kept staring at her house's open door. The war is at intense. Finally I gave my full power to my mind and I deliberately wanted it to win the fight (which would be better for everyone including me). With lot of struggle, I woke up and went on to lock my door as it suffered continuous bashes due to heavy wind. She came as a savior of her door. Holding the doors, We stared at each other for a while. Thought poured in the form of tears more than the downpour outside. She gave a tired smile with all the bruises on her beautiful face. We kept the door open and went on to carry our work.
The Heart Wins!!!
