Some people are just slaves to their demons.
Sindhu sipped on her drink and looked out the window with a blank expression on her face. Her eyes stayed steadily looking at nothing in particular. Her eyes were as if everything around her was invisible somehow while vehicles kept zooming in front of her leaving behind exhaust fumes. They were not invisible but Sindhu just did not care enough to notice anything in particular.
Everything and everybody around her was busy with something or the other except for her. Nobody seemed to have the time of the day to notice anything around them… everybody was rushing to someplace or other… they seemed to be moving in a rush all the time. They all seemed to have somewhere to be at any point in time… but she one the other seemed to be always lost!
This was not the first time she had noticed this… This scene is the most common sight no matter where one goes… She just never been able to figure out how to make sense of it.
After all,

That night, Gautham came back late after distributing all the invitations. But to his surprise, he actually found that Sindhu was not back yet. He freshened up and came down to the lobby and sat on the stairs waiting for Sindhu. John and Steve were already back and already off to bed. They were long used to Sindhu not showing up at night, unlike Gautham. Even when he was worried and anxious, Gautham still waited patiently for her. The cold air stung his skin making the hair in his hand standstill. At last, just before dawn, the roaring sound of the car awoke Gautham from his daze. He looked up only to see Sindhu get down from a red Audit. It was John’s car. Since Gautham had driven the car they came in, Sindhu borrowed one of John’s cars. “Why are you still up?” Sindhu asked coming towards Gautham. He just shrugged his shoulders and answered perfunctorily, “I couldn’t sleep…” Both of them knew he was lying. After all, he could har
Little girl's wild side "We're home,"
When they reached Sindhu's place, it was almost midnight. Gautham stopped the car outside Sindhu's place. Then he turned around towards Sindhu who was happily sleeping with her seat pushed down to the max and her legs hoisted over the dashboard in the front. She looked extremely peaceful and content. Gautham almost did not want to wake her but then he reached out and shook her awake. Sindhu blinked several times. She lifted her hands to rub over her eyes. But seeing as she never bothered to wash her hands after having snacks, Gautham hurriedly grabbed her hands. "Your hands are not clean. They still probably have spices from the potato chip you had earlier", Gautham said but Sindhu was still not fully awake and a little groggy so she did not comprehend what he was saying. By reflex, she tried to reach her eyes with her other hand. Gautham let out a sigh and held back both her hands with one of his hands and reached out with his other hands, tidied her hair that was falling over her e
Little girl's wild side "I will be there"
The marriage was exactly one month away. Sindhu was sitting in her room with all her lights switched off and doors locked shut. Her mind was messed up and in a daze. She did not know what she was feeling. Her heart was in a twist.This room... It has been her safe haven and her hell at the same time for as long as she could remember. She had not lived here for 4 years but still, this was her home. She always knew she could come back to this one place no matter what and it will give her solace. But after these weeks, this won't be her room. This will not be her home. She did not know how to digest this fact. Her heart was in a twist. She felt so terrified all of a sudden.The voices in her head won't stop. She kept remembering all the things she ever experienced within these walls- some good some bad. It was so overwhelming that she felt as if she was drowning. She felt so lost and helpless. And the silence surrounding her was almost deafening.All these days she
Little girl's wild side Prologue
Bangalore.It was an early morning well before dawn. The city was still sleeping. There was a deafening silence. It was not a calm comforting silence. It was almost cold... ice cold... freezing even. And the weather mirrored it. There was no soul awake. Even the trees were sleeping. The only sound that came was the whispering of the wind. But today even they seemed drowsy. As if they were lulling the city to sleep a little longer. The only light visible was the streetlight and that too was flickering feebly. Even the moon was not visible. It was almost as if even the moon was scared of the darkness all around.It was the kind of atmosphere that you expect a horror movie plot to start with.Then out of nowhere, the silence was broken by a loud noise. A mixed sound of an engine running and the sound of tires screeching against the streets... and then came the visual of a bike flashing bright headlight as if it was trying to awaken the lulled streets.The mo
Little girl's wild side First Meeting
3 years later, Chennai. The climate outside was humid... Dark clouds covered the sky like a blanket over the city but still no rain. It was almost as if the clouds are teasing the city. As if they are daring the people to set their foot out the doors. And in the sink, the city was quiet compared to other days. It was as if people are playing a safe bet. "Siinnddhuu," Aruna- her mom's voice shrilled through the room bringing her out of her train of thoughts. "Sindhu, Gautham's family will be here any moment. Are you even ready yet?" Aruna continued shouting on top of her lungs. “Oh shit!” Sindhu cursed under her breath at last noticing the time. She must have been daydreaming longer than she originally planned. Shit Shit! Her mom is going to be hysterical if she saw her in this state. She was still in her sweat pants and t-shirt. Sindhu suddenly panicked and scrambled from her balcony. She went straight to the washroom along with the dress she
Little girl's wild side Don't tell me you're going to snoop?
Gautham observed Sindhu's apparent discomfort to the so he suggested going back for which she gladly obliged. Their parents were still in deep discussion about god knows what. Anyways, Sindhu just sat down on the couch and started fidgeting with her fingers... She kept fidgeting. She was bored and she had no phone to pass time while Gautham was sitting beside her and doing just that. He was going through his phone. She was tempted to take a peek or maybe even borrow it and see if he had some games. If her mum could read her mind she would have given her a stern look and asked 'Really??' as if she was crazy. But Sindhu was seriously bored… so much so that she might eat someone just about then. But right then it came... Rain... The smell of wet sand filled the air and you could feel it even before you could hear the downpour. Sindhu couldn't help the grin that spread on her face. She had been waiting for it to rain from the morning. That was the whole reason why she wa
Little girl's wild side His crazy family.
Gautham and his family were on their way back home; his parents had a goofy grin on their faces. "I take it you liked Sindhu..?" He asked. It was more a rhetoric question than an actual question. "So how did you like her parents?" He asked again. He did not get much time to talk with them to actually make an opinion. "Well, they were polite. Her mom tried to sell me how much a goody two shoes her daughter was. But I know those eyes. She should have been quite the troublemaker. And if I judged the girl right, she will tell you as to how much trouble she has actually made. And she is going to be quite the addition to our family" Gautham's mom, Renuka, said, totally amused. "Whoa whoa whoa. Nothing is decided just yet. So, slow down your horses."Gautham exclaimed panicked. "Oh cut the crap Gautham. I am your mother. You and I both know that you like that girl way too much to let her pass through your fingers. When was the last time you even talke
Little girl's wild side Overdramatic Much
Gautham stood there outside a building that looked like an office but the only problem was everyone inside was talking and laughing around. Not a single person was actually working. There were about ten people just hanging around and making fun. One of them was even munching on snacks as he laughed around joking. Gautham looked around confused not knowing whether to go in or not until he saw a room with a signboard Ms. Sindhuja Srinivas. At last, he was sure that he was in the right place. He knocked on the door tentatively and a faint "come in" came from inside the room right after. He opened the doors and peaked in. There she was, wearing spectacles that were clutching onto the top of her nose; brows frowned from concentrating and she seemed frustrated as she signed some papers. Gautham cleared his throat to get her attention but Sindhu was already too into the work to notice it. So he had to knock on her table standing in front of her desk which finally go
