Short Story - Inspired by true incidents

5) I would love to say something, but all I could do is to grin uncomfortably and leave the place with big strides

4) She smiles at me every time when it happens

3) I say 'damn' involuntarily and she could definitely hear it

2) This has been happening a lot of times in the past one week

1) I go to my old place accidentally forgetting about the change of my place in my office

0) Please read the points in order from 1 to 5.

@Sindu,Jency:
The blog is the result of what my colleague told me. He [I have to mention that it is a he :)] said, "bull shit man... I keep forgetting about our shift in place and go to our old place... and say 'damn'... and the GUY there gives me a confused look always"

I just gave a romantic build-up to it, at least I tried to :)

I thought about it na... but since it was based on a very short incident, I wrote like that... I will try to think of a good big story in this kind... Or you can also help me if you have any idea and I will mention co-authored by Sathyan :)

Thanks a lot for leaving a comment for my blog na... it does mean a lot!

Sinduja said...

Wow.. it was a fictious story?? Somehow, though not adorned with linguistic style, it had so much of sincere depth to it that I completely thought it was 'inspired' by true incidents...lol, you are really getting good at this..!! :) 5 stars!

Amudhan said...

@Sinduja:
I am completely flattered... :) [and I wish that the 5 star is not for a scale of 10 or 100 starts :)]Again, it is not completely fictitious... I am NOT that good a writer... I just gave a 'kutti' buildup to a small incident... thanks once again...

catchy blog:)
but i remember in some book reverse reading the same lines ..
In the same line i understand..
the thought popped up will be the same for different creative peoples.

Amudhan said...

@Gawas:
Thanks Gawas... Actually, what I intended was to have two different story...

If we read from 5 to 1, it would be a romantic story, 'A guy goes to tell something (may be proposing) to the girl, but he couldn't; so, he leaves the place embarrassed. The girl smiles at him (as she knows about him) and he says 'damn' involuntarily and goes to his old place forgetting about the shift in his place'.

If read from 1 to 5, it would simply be an incident, 'A guy forgets about his shift in the place and goes to his old place often and says 'damn'. The girl over there smiles. He can say something (apologizing), but he feels embarrassed and leaves'

Why I am telling this now is, I asked my friend whether he noticed what I tried. He said "NO". I understood that I was a BIG flop and wanted to use this opportunity to tell what I had in my mind ;)

Sinduja said...

Hey!! I never thoight of it that way. This is getting even better... very nice!! Yes, it does seem like two different perceptions on reading by changing the order. Good thing you mentioned. If you had come up with it urself, way to go..!

Amudhan said...

@Sindu:
Thanks Sindu... It wont be a lie if I say that I had come up with it by myself :)

In fact, I thought of explaining about this in the blog itself... but then, I wanted to have it as small as possible.

Gawaskar said...

@amudhan
the two stories in both order are self explanatory :)

Amudhan said...

@Gawas:
Thanks Gawas... that is encouraging... :)

vijay said...
