Tock
Lunch was a lavish affair with a variety of cuisines and culinary delicacies that can't be possibly enjoyed to the fullest even by the most ardent food lover. That was the amount of food and drinks that was served during the event and Anya savoured every bit of the gourmet meals. She had fun teasing Ronan now and then, laughing along with his mother and Shelly. Shelly too seemed to enjoy Anya's company as she started talking to her about her school, her teachers and friends with great zest.

The Mismatched Half Dejected
May 2011, India.They say life is like a rollercoaster where we have to enjoy the ups and downs of the ride. Some say life is a game and we're all the players while there's another group that sees life a stage where sometimes we're the performers and at other times we're the spectators. Life can also be a maze where we should find our way out and every problem can be little maze of it's own. Anya too had heard or read of all the examples of life but she knew each
The Mismatched Half Restrained
She narrated the events intricately to the policeman. They questioned her in the middle interrupting her whenever they wanted to clarify something. There were many reactions from the people around her during her description of the events.Her mother gasped loudly at first and then at a point she started wailing loudly that couldn't be controlled and so she was asked to step outside but she insisted on staying and curbed her sobs. Her father mostly had a plain blank expression on his face as if he still didn't believe the happenings around him. At one point during the narrative, he lost balance and was made to sit d
The Mismatched Half Reject
June 2011, India.Rahul was in jail. They found him two weeks later in a motel hiding under a dirty bed. Apparently, the news channels were helpful to him in choosing his hideout locations as they listed most of the places that the police were looking for him. The tiring efforts of his family members to persuade Anya's parents out of putting Rahul in jail had gone in vain. Anya's father pledged his life upon making Rahul pay for his atrocities and swore to sever the bond with anyone who came in his way. Anya was happy that atleast her parents weren't stupid like her relatives.
The Mismatched Half Rejected
Anya sat in front of the television which was showing a reality show. She wasn't really watching as her thoughts wandered aimlessly from the television to memories of her past."Why don't you wear that blue saree we bought you the other day, Anya? It's a nice day. Don't just spend it watching this useless show." Her mother said switching off the television."Why, Ma?" Anya asked softly."We have guests comi
The Mismatched Half Ridicule
July 2011, India.The wedding preparations started with a swing the moment her mother returned home from the hospital. They decided to skip all the pre wedding functions and conduct the wedding straightaway since the groom Vijay was going back to US after a month. The groom's family had no problem with the incident that happened earlier as they claimed themselves to be understanding and considerate. They never asked for her consent like always and she never spoke anything against them since whenever she raised an issue her mother would hold her chest and stumble down on a chair. All that matter to her at that moment was her mother'
The Mismatched Half Ridiculed
All her life she'd wondered about the insane methods people followed in India in the name of tradition and culture. One insane method was protecting a girl her whole life from other men, not letting her become friends with them, asking them not to trust strangers or even talk to them and then one fine day send her inside a room and ask her to strip her clothes off infront of a complete stranger. What nerve it must have taken to even call this a tradition. Of course things aren't that bad now but still this was happening in most parts of the country. The worst part was asking the girl to trust another complete stranger when she had just been failed by the previous one which was the case with Anya.
The Mismatched Half Flee
Men. One word she hated the most. One species she despised the most. One creation of God that she thought was a mistake and one group that was always a curse to her.She entered the room that she was taken by the receptionist of the fairy services. Her phone buzzed again but she ignored it. It had been ringing since she left the bridge and she dared not answer it as it was from Vijay and her parents. She saw two women very elegantly dressed sitting comfortably behind a desk. One of the women got up and greeted Anya as she came
The Mismatched Half woman 1
She checked into her room and immediately packed all her bags. She then called Viola and informed her of what happened with Ronan skipping all the details while she took a taxi heading straight to the airport. Viola asked her to calm down and come home safely so that they could talk about the rest of the things after she arrives back home.The flight back home seemed awfully long and Anya couldn't stop being restless. She kept checking her phone as if she was expecting any calls or texts from Ronan but there were none. She tried to sleep but her eyes refused to shut for more than two minutes. She tried to engage herself into reading a magazine or w
