Buy us a cup of coffee
A ridiculous amount of coffee was consumed in the process of building this project. Add some fuel if you'd like to keep us going!
Where is the party tonight?
Jayson was happy… very happy…. he had thrown a mini-party to his colleagues and subordinates today. He had joined iCaravan on this date… five years ago! And that surely called for a little celebration. He had ordered pizza and everyone was enjoying the treat along with soft drinks of their choice (hard drinks weren’t allowed […]
Do we meet people by accident?
By the time the clock struck six, Richard was ready. Dressed in blue jeans and a simple white T-shirt he felt comfortable. Blue jeans and White T-shirt… the combination never goes wrong! He didn’t want to look as if he had dressed to kill. He wanted to keep it casual and easy. Though he was […]
Your place or mine?
Making our way to the gate of the airport, I pulled the luggage along and loaded them on to a trolley. I began to make my way inside, briefly displaying the airline tickets to the security guard as Catherine brought along the kids, holding their hands. I felt the brief blast of air as I […]
Airport at last !
Swiftly taking the ticket for parking in the airport parking lot, I rolled into a parking spot and turned off the car. I turned my head to the right to see Catherine asleep peacefully in her seat. Her straight blond hair was neatly falling around her chin, caressing her face and fell in layers, each […]
I just called to say……
Now that his mind was set on an idea, Richard felt himself more energized and more focussed. He always liked a life with directions (blame it on his profession!). He had now found a new direction and dimension. Though he had loved his days after the resignation: languishing all day, reading a book in a […]
Going to the airport !
The kids climbed into the car’s back seats with exclamations of joy. I caught Catherine’s eye and smiled at her before briefly kissing her and I going behind the kids to secure them into their car seats, strapping the belts carefully over each seat. I smiled and ruffled Johnny’s hair and kissed Celina on her […]
Leaving on a jet plane..
I sighed as I looked at my children. How were they going to understand? My wife must have understood my dilemma as she slightly squeezed my hand, reassuringly. I looked at her and she winked at me as she told me that she will handle the kids. I finished the rest of my dinner as […]
iCaravan: The automobile company
From the eyes of Ron- Your Average Working Man Exactly a year ago, it had been a regular day at work for Ron. He had managed to make three buses right on time, as usual, from his home to work. It was the same route till 4th Avenue, after which he had entered a different […]
A Nice Family Dinner For Once!
I released my wife and decided to clean up before dinner. On my way through the high ceiling corridor with a large lighted chandelier, my son came running towards me with a large smile. After giving him a hug and a kiss on the forehead, telling him to go help mommy, I continued towards my […]
Take Me Home, Country Roads
The whole day went by uneventfully, giving me enough time to think about the morning’s meeting. I was oddly disturbed as I drove my way back home, once again in the impossible traffic. Why would they call me to watch their presentation if I had clearly shown no interest in their endeavor? I knew they […]
Old Friends Are Here Again !
She closed her eyes for some time in prayer. Take offs always unnerved her and landings always brought a respite from setting foot on firm ground. Slowly she became conscious of someone staring at her profile and stole a sideways glance. The familiar face broke into a smile and said, So my dear, How are […]
Some days are diamonds…some days are stone !
I looked up from the mail, when I heard the soft yet audible knock on my door. “Come in”, I said as the door opened a peek. A brown head popped in, my assistant. “A gentleman from HyperDrive has come to meet you without an appointment. Should I let him in, Mr.Smith?” She made a […]
Sudden Impact: When James Turner meets Abhinav
Turner left Dhaara’s home with a heart full of emotions and with a smile and thank you on his lips. He had been working with StingRay since its inception and SR might not be friendly with anybody in the world, Turner knew himself to be the only person who was trusted by The Shark. He […]
This is when Mitchell goes hyper !
After musing for a while, I decided to get back down to business. As the familiar buzz of employees entering reached my ears, I realized that the traffic must have provided hindrance to them as well. I shifted my position on the chair and reached forward to pick up the stack of envelopes that I […]
Mitchell in his office at iCaravan
The cool air blew at my face as I entered the office building. The sharp sound of my shoes against the tiled floor echoed in the high ceiling building. A big, 3D model of the iCaravan symbol, rotated slowly in front of me. I walked around that and made my way towards my office. My […]
Taherah woke up!
Taherah woke up twitching in bed. It was getting too hot, meaning she had slept on, late again. She sat up with a jolt, eyes wide open. The sun pouring into the room made her squint immediately. Never did Mitchell remember to draw the curtains before he left. And never could she get up in […]
Mitchell: in the boundary of reality & fantasy
The familiar sound of traffic reached my ears, muffled by the protection of the car. Each car was bonnet to bumper at this time of the day. The sun was up, just barely above the low rise buildings. Somehow, this morning rush calmed me. Or was this early morning positivity the result of last night. […]
Richard: Planes, Shraddha, Cars and More!
When Richard woke up to the early morning chirping of birds (he had always been an early morning person) he was feeling happy and light. Last night’s idea of starting something of his own had stuck to his subconscious and he remembered having dreamt of cars and racing. He smiled a bit. Things that you […]
Good Morning: Mitchell Smith
I woke up to the sound of the alarm clock, its sharp beat wakening my senses. I took in a deep breath as I extended my arm to shut off the device. Trying to beat the lethargy, I turned back in bed and brought the covers over me. My head lay on the cloud like […]
Richard starts thinking about working again
It had been quite a few months. Richard was happy with his life but he was feeling a little bored too. He was convinced with the idea of leaving his job with the airlines. He had given more than 25 years of his life to his job. And because he had started young, he wasn’t […]
