Short Stories -- Derailed Train of Thoughts
Me: Mommy! I want a story.
Mom: Okie.but just one. Well here goes " Katte ...kotte ..Thechhe". That's it now sleep.
and I would promptly go to sleep. Its different matter nothing has changed till now. Well...that's a different story for an another post.
For those less unfortunate people who do not understand Telugu. Here's some translation.
Katte (Build) -- Lord Ram built the bridge to Lanka
Kotte (bring down) --Bring down Ravan
Thechhe (bring back) -- Brought back Sita.
You can see where all my mythology fundas come from. Since I am the more fortunate one to be tagged by Megha (hats off to her for keeping the faith in the crap I write) here goes my effort. This is a prelude to the story that she has written in her blog.
*Derailed Train of Thoughts *
Standing in the train he visualizes every man's "often delusional" dream.
grin Babe! (on first sighting)
*Hmm?* (is he looking at me?)
Niiice! (continued appreciation of a thing of beauty)
*blush* (he IS looking at me!)
! (she hasn't smacked me with a baseball bat yet!)
*smile*
Hmmm! (Aha! The elusive smile! she is mine!)
Rest is history.
Let me pass on this tag to some of the unsuspecting souls who are very kind enough to comment on my pointless blog from time to time. So Paddy , Swathi , J , Ratna , Archster and ofcourse Megha for tagging me and giving me the idea with her story. What! Can't I re-tag back at them. *seriously flipping the rules of the Tag*

U've been bit by the 55 word story bug too ? Welcome aboard ! And I never knew I could write a story with just three words...
This reminds me of a conversation between a guy and his sweetheart
Guy : I can write a poem with just two words
Girl : What is it ?
Guy : "Your name"
Girl : huh !
Guy : I can infact write a poem with just one word
Girl : Hmmmm
Guy : And it's "YOU" -

gvenum - Thankoo for taking the tag. And nice story! What would the world be without optimistic delusional guys :)
Somu - what would be even more perfect is if his sweetheart's name was Kavita :) -

I think the 55 words tag is the most popular. Pretty much everyone has a story.
Nice one this. -

Cool! From what I know from your blog about your kids, I think they will make you tell them the whole story along with Mahabharat too. Not every one is a sucker Kid like me.
(Somu)
Wow! dude..do you have more like this you can share. This will defintely put an end to my singlehood.
(Megha)
Yeah, very true. For single guys delusional optimism is the only solution for appeasing their misplaced egos.
Hmm!! Kavita !! Nice!!! Very Nice. The perfect thing is if the girl falls for it which in reality never happens.
(Archster)
Yesh its by far the most interesting tag. It works up your imagination and writing skills on otherwise morbid blogs like mine.
Thanks! Glad you liked the story. -
