Aditi’s Home
Aditi got ready for the evening and came out of her room. Her family was sitting in the living room, having tea. She informed her dad that she was going for a movie.
‘With whom are you going to watch the film, Aditi?’ her father asked. ‘With Yohan, Ruchi and Vineet, dad,’ she replied.
Abhi asked her which movie she was going to watch. She replied, ‘American Hustle.’ She also informed her mother that she would return by 8:30 pm, and will have dinner with three of us.

Never Fade Away Behind the Hateful Eyes
'I have experienced this urge and this feeling many times. I do not suffer from any mental disorder. I do not know why I have it. I seem to enjoy being cruel to people.

It has been part of me for many years now. I am a sick man. I am a wicked and a spiteful man. I have an evil mind and I believe in seeking violent revenge over small issues. Inside my head it’s all dark.’ ‘When I saw blood stains of my brother, it made me very angry. My blood boiled when I saw those stains. I vowed to take revenge.

They have discussed among themselves and decided not to repeat those things which has caused annoyance and unpleasantness in the last semester. They have decided to plan and organise activities for the next six months- to spend more time participating in competitions, sightseeing or travelling. It is a mixed blessing being a student.
