“I have to explore this building”, that’s what I thought after seeing an abandoned building on the other side of the Lawrence highway. The building architecture is unique when compared to the surrounding buildings. I'm an artist; so I could easily identify the artistic sense in any building construction. My name is Aryan and working as a senior designer in an advertising company. My job is to design the company's brand logos. Most Fortune 500 companies are our clients; I received an “Innovative design” award last year for my logo design to a software company. It was not the first time, earlier I got several similar awards for my work. However, that's all past. Now I'm running out of ideas. Somehow I'm not getting “innovative” thoughts to design the company's brand logos. As per my boss's advice, I took a long break from work. But still, even after I return from vacation, there is no use. I felt something has happened to me. Probably that's because of my marriage, which came to end, and I got a divorce. I got disturbed a lot by that divorce. I felt empty, and my mind was not as sharp like before.<br />
<br />
I visited many places for inspiration. I studied my previous work and other people's work, but still, those things have not ignited the spark in my mind. I knew if I notice something unique and brilliant then I get inspired, and I’ll be back to normal. But never happened so far since my divorce. <br />
<br />
I'm working on a project. The company that gave that project decided to renew their company logo as one of their key partner left that company. An earlier logo was used to resemble the culture of both companies, but now they need a new symbol. It's almost 3 months; I couldn’t come up with any satisfactory designs.<br />
<br />
After noticing that abandoned building, I felt it might have some paintings or something, which might inspire me. <div><br /></div><div>In one weekend, I decided to explore it...<br />
<br />
It was a beautiful and truly innovative construction. Until a few years back, the caretaker was taking care of that building, heard from one of my colleagues. After him, no one was there to take care of it. Govt was thinking to renew it and make it some kind of tourist place, but those things never happened. People say they heard weird sounds coming from that building during the night and some even say they have seen shadows. I didn’t believe those things.<br />
<br />
It's quite far from the highway and located on top of the hill. There is a path to reach that house, but that path has totally deteriorated. Somehow I managed to reach it in my car until the gate. I entered inside and opened the building door. Luckily there is no lock. And it's a huge hall and many paintings on the wall. I'm slowly walking and looking at all the paintings. There is so much creativity in those paintings. I sat on a chair and opened the laptop. There are few designs on my laptop, which I didn’t like at all. I looked at the paintings on the wall to see if any of the paintings would inspire me. In parallel, I'm studying about the company again. The more you know about the company then the more you can come up with simple, yet perfectly suitable logos for them. A company logo should reveal its culture, work, passion, principles, and commitments. I knew the value of the brand names and logos. I spent around 4 hours, but none of the designed logos are satisfactory. Those paintings on the wall were not actually helping me to come up with any new ideas. People might think the company logos are straightforward, and it shouldn’t take much time to design. But in reality, that’s not correct. One has to spend a lot of time and even months to come up with different designs.<br />
<br />
I was frustrated. I felt dead tired as my mind was constantly thinking about it. I slipped into sleep. Once I woke up, I realized that I had slept around 2 hours. I closed the laptop and left the building. That day night I emailed a file with that list of drawings to my manager and asked him to submit it to the client for approval. I knew that they wouldn’t like those, but I didn’t have any option as I had already crossed the deadline long back, so I couldn’t prolong further.<br />
<br />The next day morning I got a call from the manager. He said they were extremely pleased with a few designs, and they have chosen one for their company logo. He said I did an excellent job after many months and disconnected the call. I was surprised as I didn’t expect that response.<br />
<br />
I opened outlook and saw an email from a client appreciating my work. They have sent the selected designs as an attachment to it. When I opened that attachment, I was shocked as those were not my designs. Those were truly excellent, but those were not mine. I looked at the sent folder and checked the attached file. Those designs are indeed part of that single file attachment. I didn’t know how come those designs came there. The file was in my laptop until yesterday so no one could have updated it. Even if someone had modified it, I don't think anyone here has that much talent to come up with those designs. It was a total puzzle to me how could that have happened.<br />
<br />A few days later I got another project. The situation was alike. I struggled to come up with proper designs. I decided to visit that building and work there. I went again and sat in the same place. It was no use as I couldn’t come up with any new designs. After a while, I slept while my back was resting on the wall. When I woke up, I observed my laptop was not closed. I looked at my design file. It was supposed to be 5 pages, but it got now has 15 pages, which means, 10 new designs were added to that file.<br />
<br />
Who has added those designs? A big question mark in my mind. I looked around. I didn’t observe anyone. I recalled the stories about that building and paranormal activity. I usually don’t believe those stories. But, the question had arisen in my mind again, who did those drawings on my laptop?<br />
<br />
While thinking, I went further inside and noticed a room, which was not locked. It was a library room. No books were in the racks. I reckon those were stolen or sold. </div><div><br /></div><div>There was a large picture on the wall, which I understood could be the owner of that building. </div><div><br /></div><div>Sir Arthur, I read the name. </div><div><br /></div><div>While I was staring at that painting, all of sudden it fell down. </div><div><br /></div><div>I stumbled for that. I grabbed the painting from the floor and tried to put it back on the wall, and then observed a shelf on the wall, which was kept hidden earlier from that painting. </div><div><br /></div><div>I put the painting on the floor and opened that shelf. There was a dairy inside. Sir Arthur's name was written on it. It's a pretty old diary looks like. I opened it. The first few pages were empty then onwards it has drawings. </div><div><br /></div><div>I recognized some of the drawings as they resemble the logo designs that I found new on my laptop. That means … Did Arthur sketch those designs? </div><div><br /></div><div>My hands became wet with sweat. I closed that book and ran back to the place where I kept my laptop. I took it and came out of that building as fast as I can.<br />
<br />
After reaching home, I can't believe what I saw. I double-checked those designs in that book. I discussed it with one of my psychology friends. He told me it was coincident that those drawings were matched. He also told that I might have drawn the designs unconsciously as it happened to many people. In any case, I was not sure exactly what was the truth? I didn’t visit that building again, later found out, it is demolished for a house project. </div><div><br /></div><div>But I kept Arthur’s diary with me as that's my inspiration for all my future designs.<br />

It is inconceivable that once a person is declared dead then that
person is coming back to life. Maybe that is called a near-death
experience. And I would never imagine, one day in my life, I would
experience that. I was pretty sure; I was dead in that accident. There
should not be any more of me.
<br />
<br />
But certainly, I was wrong. After that accident, I didn’t know how many days, I opened my eyes, which means I was alive!!!<br />
<br />
I was lying on a bed in the same room. I slowly got up from it. I had
checked my right leg where there should be a bullet wound, but I didn’t
see it. I touched my head where I was bleeding to death last night. No
sign of any damage. Even I didn’t feel that my backbone was hit with
two bullets. If it was, then I would have not even moved a bit.<br />
<br />
“There is something going on here. I must be dead by this time. But I
didn’t. They have done something to my body. I have to find out”, I was
thinking.<br />
<br />
After few minutes, the boss came inside.<br />
<br />
“Hey, Afzal! How are you? I guess you didn’t sleep well. The security
guards said you were shouting last night. It must be a bad dream. Isn’t
it?”<br />
<br />
I was not stupid. I could make out that he was pretending that whatever happened was my dream. I knew that was not a dream.<br />
<br />
“Yes, it was a very unpleasant dream”, I told by rubbing my forehead with my hand. Then I saw Michele, she had come inside.<br />
<br />
“Ya, Afzal, here is a surprise to you. Michele came yesterday night.
She didn’t feel like working after you left that place”, the boss told me by
showing Michele to me.<br />
<br />
“Hey! Afzal how are you, yaar? After a long time?”, She came close to me<br />
<br />
I smiled, “What an acting, really. Everyone lives in their characters. I should end this drama soon.”<br />
<br />
“I need some time to rest. I’m tired”, I said.<br />
<br />
“Ya, sure. Take a rest. But don’t be in this room forever. Come out
and have fresh air. By the way, your passport is ready. We are trying
to get the visa. This can be done today. See you”, he left along with
Michele.<br />
<br />
I got ready in few minutes. Though all these crazy things were
happening, the only thing that makes me happy was the fact about I was
alive. If I had some remarkable powers or I didn’t know, but I was
alive.<br />
<br />
I came out of the room and wandering outside. I saw the guy, who had
tried to kill me when I was trying to escape. He told me I was a secret
service agent, and he was here to help me. But why he tried to kill me? There were many unanswered questions. I had remained silent though I
felt like killing the guy in that spot. He said, “hello” and left as if
nothing had happened. His actions didn’t surprise me much. Might be I
was used to that kind of behavior. I wanted something, something to
threaten that guy. Yes, I wanted a gun. The whole day I was trying to
get a gun. Finally, I managed to get one. I kept it in my back pocket.
At night, I had requested security guards not to close the doors as I
told them I was getting bad dreams because of that. I didn’t know whether
they had believed that or not, they didn’t lock the door.<br />
<br />
At midnight, I went straight to room number 9 and knocked on the
door. I told him that I had to discuss something. He opened the door.
The moment he had opened the door, I hit his face with the gun. He fell
to the ground. I entered inside and closed the door.<br />
<br />
His nose got fractured, and blood spurted out, “what the heck are you doing? Are you mad?” he was screaming.<br />
<br />
I hit him with the gun again on his head. He lost his conciseness. I tied
him in a chair and spilled water on his face. He is back to normal.<br />
<br />
“See though I was a software architect, who believes that everything
can be achieved softly. But after seeing all this stuff, I understood
nothing can be achieved by being soft. So tell me, I want answers, who
am I? Why did you try to kill me? Then how come I’m alive? If you don’t
answer my questions, then I won't hesitate to kill you.” I aimed my gun
at his head.<br />
<br />
He looked puzzled. He tried to convince me that I was actually
dreaming of all that stuff. He didn’t know anything other than that. I
knew he wouldn’t give answers so easily. I was prepared for that, along
with a gun I also bought a scissor. I put waste clothes in his mouth, so
he won’t shout aloud. Then I cut his little finger with scissors. He was
crying like a kid because of pain. I had spent some more time interrogating him. One moment he gave up and agreed to give answers.<br />
<br />
He was talking in pain, “I’ll tell you everything. Please stop hurting me”.<br />
<br />
“Alight. I won’t hurt you. So tell me why I didn’t die?”, I asked.<br />
<br />
“you can’t die, because YOU ARE NOT A HUMAN!!!”<br />
<br />
“What do you mean I’m not a human? Am I a ghost?” I asked sarcastically.<br />
<br />
“No, you are a humanoid. After 15 years of thorough research, US
military scientists have come up with your model. You made up with half-human
organs and half-machine parts. You have a capability to change your
appearance as like anybody”, he stopped for a while because of pain.<br />
<br />
“What are you saying?” my voice was breaking.<br />
<br />
The heavy bleeding was made him so weak. But still, he was talking.<br />
<br />
“The first rule the scientists made after developing your models was
‘HUMANOIDS MUST NOT KNOW WHO THEY ARE’ as that would make chaos in their
brain. Once we program humanoid brain as a particular person, then they
would totally believe that THEY ARE HUMANS, and mannerisms, actions,
affection, love, phobias, character, attitude everything … everything
would be like a person whom they have programmed. To change you to some
other person, we have to reprogram you. But once we convert you into
some person then no one could find out.”<br />
<br />
“All our previous models behaved exactly in that way… except you.
Once we replaced Trivedi with you. I was badly needed money, so I was
sold myself to US sleeper cells and leaked information about you. They
were very excited. They decided to have you was most important than
killing the US army chief. So they captured you. I helped them to reprogram
you and to change your appearance. I warned them about the rule that they
should never reveal about you.”<br />
<br />
“But the problem came after altering your program. Somehow your brain
didn’t lose the ‘Trivedi’ identity. Every day we were trying to make
you believe that you are not a Trivedi. But we didn’t succeed. As we
proceed with different personalities, yet you strongly believed that
‘you are Trivedi’. As you are thinking, you are NOT here for the past two
days. You are here for the past 30 days; we were doing all types of
experiments on you. We even called Michele and tried. But there was no
use. We did everything that we could do to bring you back. We also
tried coming up with another model. I shot you because I knew that you
can’t be killed with bullets.”<br />
<br />
Tears were rolling from my eyes.<br />
<br />
“I’m not a human”, I was blabbering. I was not able to believe that fact.<br />
<br />
“I don’t believe you. I want proof. Prove me that I’m not a human”, I shouted in angry.<br />
<br />
“I know you would ask this. Go ahead and shoot yourself. You will
come to know. There is no blood in your body. Instead, a chemical
solution is circulating. If you shoot yourself then you would see that
chemical. After few minutes, you will recover yourself. But you will
experience pain as like normal human beings”, he looked at my eyes after
telling that.<br />
<br />
I recalled seeing that chemical when he shot me last time. I still
wanted to check again. When I got ready to shoot myself, then suddenly
someone had knocked on the door. They asked me to open it otherwise they
would break it. I reacted quickly, opened the door, and hidden beside it. When they entered inside, I closed the door behind them and ran.
Looks like those guys alarmed others, so everyone got alerted. I looked
for opportunities to escape. Then I saw the drainage entrance. I entered
inside and then ran like crazy. Those guys also found that I was in
drainage, so they followed me. After running for several minutes then I
came out from it in some deserted place. I didn’t know what was that
place.<br />
<br />
It was very dark. I felt even I shouldn’t be there. They might find
out, so I ran again. As I expected they somehow found, and they were
following me. I saw a freight train, which was picking up speed slowly.
I ran at full speed and entered inside the caboose. When I looked
behind; they were trying to catch it, but they were too late. The train
went at full speed. I was so tired, so just slept inside.<br />
<br />
When I opened my eyes, I was somewhere in northern India.<br />
<br />
I got down off the train and went to the nearby tea shop. I had asked for
tea before I went into deep thoughts. Whatever my background was or
whoever I was, I decided to forget all and start from zero. Start a new
life and a new beginning. Get a new job and mingle with new friends and
new people. A person in a tea shop had interrupted my thoughts and asked
about me as he hadn’t seen me before there. I looked at him and
thinking, “Who am I?”<br />
<br />
Well, there are certain things, which you believe till your death.
And what you believe depends on what you are. No matter what anyone says
– I believed I was Trivedi. <br />
<br />
“My name is Trivedi”, I answered him with a smile.<br />
<br />

He opened the door. But fortunately, that was not the same one where I
was hiding. I was relieved. I had waited until they left the room.
After that, I came out of it. It was my bad luck that they had
locked the door before leaving the room. So when I tried to open it. It
didn’t open.
<br />
<br />
“Why it is happening always like this to me?” I muttered.<br />
<br />
“How can I go out now?” I had realized there was no other way that I
could find out. So I decided to wait until someone opens the door. A few minutes later someone opened the door. It was the guy who had given me
the paper slip. I was wondering what that guy was doing there. He asked me to come out as he knew I was in that room. I came out of the shadows. Then he asked me to follow him. We went inside his
room on the first floor.<br />
<br />
“It was good as I have seen you going into that room. Otherwise, you
would have been locked inside until boss finds out.” I nodded and
thanked him.<br />
<br />
And also I said sorry as I was not able to meet him yesterday. He
said he knew that I was not able to meet him as my door was locked. But it
was good that he didn’t ask how I had managed to come out, otherwise, I
had to tell the whole story again.<br />
<br />
I didn’t wait much time, I asked him.<br />
<br />
“Now tell me? You told me that you knew about me. So who am I actually?”<br />
<br />
He didn’t answer my question. Instead, he gave me an identity card
and asked me to open it. I opened it, it was someone’s secret service
agent identity card. I was puzzled and looked at him.<br />
<br />
“That was your identity card.”<br />
<br />
“What? I’m a secret service agent” I was shocked. “Please, give me a
break. I was really tired of all these things. First I was a software
architect, then a common man, who has a brother and family, and then I
was a murderer, and then I was a terrorist, and now I’m a secret service
agent. Please don’t play with me” I was screaming.<br />
<br />
“You were indeed a US secret service agent and were working undercover. We were a total of 4 people, who were specialized to find out
the terrorist sleeper cells across the world. We came to know that
Trivedi was planning to kill the US army chief. Then we planned to replace
Trivedi with you, so we have kidnapped him. But eventually, we realized
that they were controlling him through a microchip in his mind. We have
extracted that microchip from Trivedi’s brain. And it was you, who
altered the software in that chip so that it would receive instructions
from us, instead of from them. However, that was not tested thoroughly.
So it was not approved to use it on human beings. We were running out
of time. So you took a brave decision to experiment that, though our
higher authorities have refused it. Nobody knew about this mission,
except four of us.”<br />
<br />
Whatever he was saying was going only half into my mind.<br />
<br />
“Before you have been kidnapped by these people, we have replaced
Trivedi with you. They were wondering why that microchip was not
working. It was because we altered that software. However, it even not
worked for us. It didn’t respond to our instructions. It malfunctioned
and programmed your mind such that you strongly believed that you are a
Trivedi.”<br />
<br />
“When they removed that microchip from your head, you became normal.
And you have informed us that you were going to India, so you asked me
to contact you here. But after coming here, I’ve realized that they had
inserted another microchip in your brain, which caused you to lost all
your precious memories and stick to Trivedi’s thoughts. Somehow I
managed to join this team and waited for a chance to meet you.”<br />
<br />
“Here are your family photos. They are desperately waiting for you” He gave me few photos.<br />
<br />
I was not in a mood; not trying to understand what he was saying. I looked at those photos then I asked.<br />
<br />
“When are you planning to take me to my family in the US?”<br />
<br />
That was the only thing I wanted at that time from him. Going back to the USA. Otherwise, whatever he was told I was not really interested.<br />
<br />
“I’m making plans for that. But it is dangerous for you to go to the US
first. So I’m planning to take you to the UK first, where your operation
also will be done and then you can recall your past.”<br />
<br />
“Oh, I see”, I said.<br />
<br />
“I told you all these things upfront so that you would co-operate
with me later. Believe me, everything is gonna be alright. You will meet
your family soon. Now go and take rest”, he patted on my shoulder.<br />
<br />
I hesitated to tell him about Michele. I didn’t know why.<br />
<br />
I said thank you and left his room. He told me, be careful while
returning to my room. Millions of thoughts were circulating in my mind.
Many things were going around me. I strongly believed that I should have
never come to that building. I should try to find out my own way to the US.
So instead of going back to my room, I walked towards the compound wall of
that building. It was still dark. I saw a big compound wall around the
building.<br />
<br />
There was a tall tree beside that wall; if I could climb that tree
then I could jump over the compound wall. I started climbing the tree.
Then I heard a noise. Somebody noticed me.<br />
<br />
“Hey? Who are you? Stop; otherwise, I’ll shoot you?” he was threatening me.<br />
<br />
I didn’t listen as that was the last chance I could get to free myself. So I had climbed up.<br />
<br />
He had fired two rounds. Fortunately, those bullets didn’t hit me. I
had jumped from that tree to the wall. I was hanging on the wall and pulling
my body up so that I could jump over another side. Then he had fired
four times. He didn’t miss that time.<br />
<br />
Two bullets had penetrated into my backbone, and another one went
inside of my right leg. I fell to the ground. My head hit something on the ground heavily. It started bleeding.<br />
<br />
I could feel that I was losing so much blood. I looked at my blood.
It appeared different to me. I knew that I was
dying. My heartbeat was slowing down. Before losing the conciseness last
time that I saw was the person who shot me. I recalled him. He was the
guy who told me that I was the secret service agent.<br />
<br />
Then that’s it. Everything had turned black.<br />

I didn’t sleep that night. I was looking at the watch and waited until 1:30 AM.
Then I got up from bed and tried to open the door. It didn’t open. The door
was locked from outside.<br />
<br />
“Damn it. How can I open the door?” I thought. I looked the whole room if I could
find some other way to escape. But it was vain; I didn’t find any other way.<br />
<br />
I locked the door from inside and slipped into sleep while thinking what that
guy in room no 9 would have been thinking since I didn’t meet him.<br />
<br />
I opened my eyes when I felt somebody had kissed my face. I was shocked to
see that person in bed. It was Michele. I didn’t understand how come she was
on my bed. She was supposed to be in the US. I asked her the same question. She smiled
and told that she was also part of the US sleeper cell. Once I left, she had
requested her boss to replace her with someone else and she came over here.<br />
<br />
“I got your photo from the boss. That’s how I recognized you. Though you look
different, I can feel your breath”, she told by coming close to me.<br />
<br />
I didn’t know what to say. My mind became blank. I was looking for words to
say something. Whatever hope that I had some whereas I was not a terrorist was
breaking into pieces after seeing her.<br />
<br />
“See, the boss still didn’t know our intimacy. He was thinking that I was just
helping you in that mission. He still has a crush on me. So you have to behave
properly with me in front of him”.<br />
<br />
I just said fine as I needed time to digest whatever things happening in
front of me. Everything was happening so unpredictably.<br />
<br />
“I know you don’t remember anything, but we had plans to quit this team and
settle in Singapore. We also made arrangements as you transferred 50
million to your Singapore account. But somehow because of that chip in
your mind, you became crazy and lost your mind. Anyhow, now the good news is, I
have few friends here, who could do anything for me. I asked them to do the
arrangements for us, so it would be taken care of. And you won’t be traveling to the US; instead, we are going to Singapore. You know what? You can get operated
in Singapore itself.”<br />
<br />
I was jolted after hearing that she was planning to take me to Singapore.<br />
<br />
I was about to say something. She didn’t listen to anything. She said to be happy and
left the room. While she was leaving I observed that she had opened the door
lock from the inside before she was going out. That means she didn’t come from
that door.<br />
<br />
“If she didn’t come from that door then how she could be able to come inside.
There might be some other secret door here”, I thought. It was too late for me
to explore that room as it has already become a day.<br />
<br />
After few minutes, the agent knocked on the door. I opened it. He asked me to
get ready to meet the boss.<br />
<br />
I had seen Michele along with the boss. She just smiled at me and left us
alone. The boss told me that he was doing arrangements for my US travel like
getting a fake passport and visa etc. It would take a couple of days, until then I
should not go anywhere and stay inside that building.<br />
<br />
That whole day I didn’t do anything. I expected to notice the guy who gave that
paper note to me. But I didn’t see him at all. I was roaming inside the building. There
were many rooms. I tried to enter inside a random room. But they didn’t let me in. I
suspected there was something going on inside.<br />
<br />
I was thinking to find that hidden door at any cost that night. I waited
until it becomes dark. The agent again left me in the room and locked the
door.<br />
<br />
I slept for few hours and then in the middle of the night started exploring
the room. Finally, I figured out, there was a button embedded in the corner side
of the wall, and pressing it actually opened the secret door. It was impossible
for anyone to notice it as the paint on the door matches with the wall so it
fools anyone.<br />
<br />
Inside it was dark. I waited some time so that my eyes could adjust to see in
the dark and I could make out the way. That path leads to somewhere. I followed
the path then it took me to someone’s bedroom. I quietly entered inside. Someone
in the hall was talking over the phone. I recognized that voice. That was
Michele’s voice.<br />
<br />
“Yes, darling. Don’t worry about him. I’ll take care of him. As per our plan
I told him we are going to Singapore.”<br />
<br />
Then there was a silence. The guy on the phone asked something.<br />
<br />
“Ya, ya. Of course, he believed me. You know about me right. Michele can do
anything. It’s magic. I did all arrangements in Singapore. You are not going to
see Afzal again”, she was laughing.<br />
<br />
I understand that she was talking about me. She was planning something. I
decided not to go with her otherwise god only knows what she could do.<br />
<br />
I waited some more time. She was watching TV. I searched in her bedroom
drawer. I found a revolver and few photos. I didn’t know what I was searching for there. I saw few alphanumeric numbers written on a paper. I didn’t understand
what it was. I decided to go back. On the way to my room, I noticed another path. I followed it, and it leads to the hall of that building. After entering that hall, I recognized the room which they didn’t allow me that day
morning. It was not locked. I wondered whether it was unlocked just for me to explore so I decided to go inside.<br />
<br />
It was like a mix of computer and biology labs. I saw a bunch of computers and
some papers lying on the floor. I also saw few human organs in a chemical
solution. I didn’t understand what that was for. I tried to login into a computer.
But it was password protected. I gave different default passwords whatever I could recall. It didn’t
work, and then I remembered the alphanumeric pattern that I saw in Mechele’s
bedroom. I tried to log in again with that sequence. I was able to log in. Then I
saw few drawings. A human body-shaped drawing. I realized that was a model,
combining the human body and few electrical circuits. I was trying to explore more.
I heard a noise. Somebody was trying to come inside. I quickly logged off from
that computer and went inside an almirah in that room and closed the door.<br />
<br />
I had sensed that two guys came inside of that room. One person was scolding
another one as he forgot to lock the door. They were doing something; I didn’t
know what that was. I was sweating inside.<br />
<br />
“Where is that chemical solution?” One person asked another.<br />
<br />
“I didn’t know. You only put somewhere” the other person replied.<br />
<br />
“Ya, I remembered now. It is in that almirah” I could feel that guy coming
close to open the almirah door where I was hiding. My heartbeat was running away.
I was quickly thinking about what to tell if they notice me.Paderthihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02370920625547502831noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364731623732369433.post-12892847852422803722012-07-10T18:58:00.003-07:002021-10-03T11:30:26.258-07:00Who am I ?

We were walking towards his vehicle, and then it happened that. A big explosion
and police vehicle had thrown into the air. The smoke from the vehicle spread
across. I couldn’t see anything. I heard a van stopped near to me, and somebody
pulled me inside, and it accelerated to full speed. Everything had happened so
fast. I observed three people inside the vehicle.<br />
<br />
One guy came close to me and removed handcuffs with some kind of
scissors.<br />
<br />
“How are you feeling Afzal? It has been very long since we met?”<br />
<br />
I didn’t understand whom he was asking.<br />
<br />
“What are you saying? Who are you guys?” I was screaming. There is a tall man
with a long beard in the van who looked at that first guy and said, “Still he doesn’t
remember anything. We have to take him to the boss first”.<br />
<br />
The first guy went back to his previous position.<br />
<br />
Whatever just happened was driving me crazy, “you guys did that blast? What
an earth the reason for you to do like that. See it might be some mistake. You
might be thinking I’m somebody else. I’m already full of trouble. So don’t
involve me in another. Please let me go. ”<br />
<br />
He pushed me back when I tried to stand up.<br />
<br />
“You are not going anywhere. You will come to know everything once we see the boss”, the long beard guy said.<br />
<br />
“No, I’m not coming anywhere, until you tell me what is going on here?” I stood up again.<br />
<br />
“Alright, I’ll tell you everything. You first sit down. As you are thinking
you are neither Trivedi nor Joseph. Your name is Afzal. You are one of the best
guys on our team. You have been working with us for the past fifteen years. You
are part of one of our sleeper cells in the US. You have been assigned a mission”,
he stopped and looked at me for reactions.<br />
<br />
I opened my mouth and listening what he was going to say.<br />
<br />
“Your mission was to kill US military chief. You have been planning for that
mission for many years. You were almost edging to your target. But, at the last
minute, we had to back off. That’s where all these problems started.”<br />
<br />
“What the heck you guys are saying? No… No… No… you are wrong. You are
totally wrong. I’m Trivedi. I’m a software architect. I’m not a Terrorist”, I was
shouting.<br />
<br />
“See that’s the problem. We invented the microchip, which can be attached to
the brain. So it gives the instructions subconsciously to each agent. And it
makes you think that you are what you are in the present role. It supposed to
disable itself after completing the mission, so that you should be normal again.
We used to contact each agent through that device. It was our state-of-the-art
technology. You are also one of the guys who are involved in the designs of this
device.”<br />
<br />
“But, when we had instructed through that device before you were attempting
to kill US chief, some technical problem happened. The device didn’t respond
properly. And you didn’t come back to normal either. You still believed that
you were Trivedi. We didn’t have any choice except, replacing you with another guy in that position.”<br />
<br />
He was talking continuously without a break.<br />
<br />
“The team in the US operated you and removed that old “Trivedi’s” chip.
Fortunately, you have behaved normally after removing that chip. So we bought you
here in India. Here you have been assigned to some other mission and inserted
another chip. This is supposed to make you believe that you are a joseph.
However, after inserting that chip, you behaved violently. You killed the doctor
who did the operation and plastic surgery for you. And you tried to escape.
Somehow we have managed and left you in that bar, where Joseph's brother spotted
you”.<br />
<br />
“We thought you would recall that you are Joseph after seeing Danieal and
Joseph’s family. But you didn’t. Instead, you are still in “Trivedi’s” mind. You
called Trivedi’s boss in the US and Michele too. That is not what we expected. So we
decided to take you back.”<br />
<br />
I looked at him unbelievably. If whatever they were saying is right then, I
was a terrorist. I was appointed to kill US top official. My head was spinning.
I sat down holding my head with hands.<br />
<br />
After a while, the van stopped at an unknown place. He asked me to get down.
I blindly followed them inside a building. There I met another person, from
their discussion; I understand that he was the boss.<br />
<br />
“Hello, Afzal. I know you still didn’t believe that you are Afzal. Come with
me”, he put his hand on my shoulder and took me inside.<br />
<br />
I went along with him. That was a lab. He asked me to lay down on a table. I
did it exactly as I didn’t want to do anything stupid at that time after
witnessing what they could do at the hospital.<br />
<br />
They took a scan of my brain. After 5 mins, he had shown my brain x-ray and
spotted the place where the chip was placed.<br />
<br />
“See, look at this. This is proof that you are Afzal.”<br />
<br />
I was shocked looking at that x-ray.<br />
<br />
“Unfortunately you killed the doctor, who can only operate and remove this
chip from your mind. He is the only doctor in India. But don’t worry; we have many
doctors in the US. We are planning to send you to the US and get it operated.”<br />
<br />
I was totally confused. The way they were telling those things made me
believe that I was not Trivedi, but don’t know, some part of my mind was telling me that was a hoax. Anyway, I was glad that he was planning to send me to the US, which
was the only thing I wanted. I thought, once I reach the US then I could decide what to
do next.<br />
<br />
“Ok, Afzal. Your mind is precious and special to us. Go and give and some
rest to it.”<br />
<br />
He instructed one of his agents to show me a room where I could take the
rest. On the way I met someone, he said welcome back and gave me a handshake. He
actually gave me a folded slip of paper while giving me a handshake. For some reason, I
kept that paper slip in my hand.<br />
<br />
The agent showed me the room, and he left. I confirmed that no one around
then opened the slip. It was written like, “If you want to know who you are,
meet me in room no 9 today night at 2.00AM. Make sure nobody follows you”.<br />
<br />
After reading that, I was thinking, “who am I actually?”Paderthihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02370920625547502831noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364731623732369433.post-19047312244007668422012-07-09T20:55:00.004-07:002021-10-03T11:28:17.488-07:00I didn't kill ( Trivedi cont ...)<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
“See I’m Trivedi, we both knew that you are not
Trivedi. I’ve been kidnaped and transported to India, I don’t know who are you
and why are you acting like me, but remember that you can’t manage forever,
they will find out soon”, I was almost shouted over the phone.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What the hell are you talking about? Go check with a doctor, you
are crazy, you are not Trivedi”, the phone got disconnected.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I got so much angry, didn’t know what to do. I sat on steps and
thinking. “I’ve to calm down and think straight. Figure out the way to reach the US
again”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The guy at the front desk came out with a bill and asked me to pay.
I didn’t think I had money to pay. When I had checked my back pocket, I felt
the purse. I removed it. I saw a bunch of Indian rupees. I paid the bill with
that cash. When I carefully observed the purse, noticed a driver's license
inside. I pulled out and read the name on it. The name was written as P.J.Josheph,
and I thought the photo on the license was that guy. I went </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
near to that front desk
guy, and showed that license and asked;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Do you know him?” that guy repeatedly looked at the photo and me
and laughed, “Don’t joke with me sir that is your photo only”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What? What are you saying?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes sir that is your photo.”
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I ran inside the toilet, and when I looked at the mirror, Joseph was
standing in front of me. I could not believe that. I touched my face and Joseph also touched
his face in the mirror. I understand that they did the plastic surgery and changed
my face. So who ever involved in this matter, they were very powerful and dangerous.
They could do anything to get what they want. I washed my face (actually
Joseph face) and came out of the toilet. That lodge guy was still looking at
me surprisingly. I smiled at him and
went back to my room.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Think… think, don’t panic. I’ve to figure out how to get out of
this country”, I was thinking about the possibilities. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes, the person who brought me here in this lodge can lead me
to the culprits. But even If I go to my company with this face, do they
recognize me as now I turned to Joseph. No, it’s all right; they just changed my face,
but not my mind. It is still the same Trivedi brain, I can come up with another
dozen security solutions”, I slept thinking like that.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I woke up, I saw that hotel boy with another person in my room.
He came near to me and asked “how are you?”; I looked at him unknowingly, “he
is your brother Danieal. You forget him or what?”, the hotel boy said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Danieal was upset, “Where have you been all these days? Yesterday
night you were fully drunk, I didn’t want to take you home with that
condition, so I put you here. Let’s get ready we have to go home as they are
expecting you”, I didn’t mention anything as I was expecting him. The good thing is, he is also talking in English.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I got ready; actually, I wore clothes brought by Danieal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He came in a taxi so we returned in the same taxi. When we had reached
home, the people were waiting for us. The moment I entered inside, they started
crying and asked me not to leave home again. I remained silent. Once that
matter is settled, I went to Danieal and asked, “Where did you see me
yesterday? Can you give me the address?” he refused first as he didn’t like me
to go again to that place. But eventually, he agreed to give it with the
condition that he would also come with me.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before starting, Danieal asked, “Joseph, your accent is very different,
you speak like an American. How did you get that?” I just smiled.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had reached that bar, where Daniel was claiming that he found me.
I looked at the premises and entered inside. Then someone called my name,
actually Joseph name. He came close to me,” Hey Joseph, where did you go? We had a nice time yesterday remember?” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I didn’t get what he was saying as he was talking in the local language.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Sorry, who are you?” I asked in English. That guy got hurt and he replied to me, “Oh,
alright, I can talk better English than you. We had a party yesterday here. You
gave me a party as you are going to marry ... Laila”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Laila”, I muttered the name.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh, you forgot Laila also; looks like you are still in yesterday
hangover”,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ya, kind of, do you know Laila's address?” I asked. That guy told me
her address. I looked at Danieal, he nodded telling me that he knew that address.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the way, Danieal told, I had mentioned Laila at home
before. But nobody accepted to marry her. That was the reason, why I left the
home a week back. I was thinking, “whoever bought me here, they had kidnapped
Joseph, and replaced me here. Even if I say, I’m not Joseph, nobody believes
that I need to find the lead, maybe Laila helped them to replace me”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We knocked on the door, after a while, the girl opened the door. The
girl first shocked, and then hugged me. I understand she was Laila. We went
inside. When I tried to introduce Danieal to her, she told she knew him
already. She also told, yesterday night, I left her home as I had to give a party
to my friends, and then didn’t return.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I felt that was the right time to reveal the secret to them. I took
a deep breath.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I have to tell something, which is very important. As you are
thinking, I’m not Joseph, my name is Trivedi. I’m a Sr. Architect in one of
the US software companies. Somebody kidnapped me and bought me here. They also did
plastic surgery so I look like Joseph. I guess the Govt is also involved in
this conspiracy.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They both looked at each other. Laila came close to me, “Joseph,
please not again, doctor told me that you have become normal.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What? What is normal? I’m telling the truth. You guys are not
getting”, I was shouting.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Calm down, Joseph, you had been through this before, please not
again”, Danieal said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What the heck? What I had been through before?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You had these visions before, you thought; you are like a different
person. Last time you had imagined yourself as a doctor and behaved like that.
Before that, you had behaved like a military officer. We consulted the doctor, and
he had given the treatment before”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That time I had realized why they had chosen Joseph. Since he had
visions, so no one would believe that if I was Trivedi, they thought I was
assuming that.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I reacted very quickly, laughed very loudly. “I was just joking to see your reactions.
Actually, I had a bad memory because of last night's drinks. I want to see the doctor who treated me. Can
we go there?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Danieal and Laila felt relieved. Danieal said, he would take me to
the doctor. On the way, I was thinking.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“At least the doctor might remember me; I have to tell him what had
happened”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When we had reached the hospital, there was a police car parked
outside. I could feel some dreadful thing had happened. The person at reception
recognized me, and he stood up straight and told something to the police officer
that he was talking over.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The officer looked at me and immediately aimed a revolver at me and
asked me to sit on my knee. I was shocked by his reactions. He locked my hands
and said, I was arrested as I killed the doctor, whom I’d been taking the
treatment. What? I killed the doctor?</div>Paderthihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02370920625547502831noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364731623732369433.post-33197287682731033762012-07-08T21:07:00.004-07:002021-10-03T11:25:04.522-07:00Trivedi<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">It was truly refreshing having coffee by
looking at the sunrise. I was doing the same
thing, standing outside of my 27th-floor apartment and enjoying the sunrise.
The outside view was magnificent. My name is Trivedi, working as a Software
Architect in one of the top US companies. We develop security solutions. US defense department is one of our clients. I was an expert in designing and
architecting intelligent software in weapons. There is a total of 7 patents in my name.
Most people don’t know that modern weapons have microchips, and the firmware
inside the chip does most of the work. They believe that Weapon
manufacturing is just mechanical work, and no software is required. But
certainly, they are wrong.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Six-figure salary and 5% company stock, everything achieved at age of 25. I love
to enjoy a luxurious life, so bought the costliest apartment and a sports car. Even My
boss didn’t have that kind of car. I was a bachelor but was dating Michele.
Michele was a co-worker.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">That day was going to be the biggest day in my
life as I had to give a presentation of new weapon technology to US defense authorities, which I had been working for 2 years. US defense department was eagerly
waiting for that technology. If they accept it then it would be a big breakthrough
in my life.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">I finished my coffee, went inside, and sat on a
sofa. I got a call, it was Michele. I answered the call,</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“Hey… Mich”, I call her Mich, short name of
Michele.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"></span><br />

<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“Honey… did I wake you up.”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“No … Mich... I woke up already.”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“Oh… ok… do you miss me yesterday night?” Her
tone was teasing. Almost every day I used to spend nighttime in her
apartment, but yesterday I didn’t go.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“Ya… kind of… you know right. I was immersed in
preparing the presentation.”</span><br />

<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“Oh … great. I know you forget the entire world when you are working... I’m angry that you keep all your designs with you. You don’t even share
with me”, she sounded really angry. That was, maybe the 100th time, she was
complaining that I didn’t share my designs with her. I really don't like to
share my designs with anybody, because those are military designs. If those
designs land in the wrong hands, then I couldn’t imagine what kind of damage that
might bring.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">I just laughed and remained silent.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“Alright… anyway, come soon to the office. See you
there… love you… bye”, she disconnected the call.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">I took 45 mins to get ready and came out of my
apartment. I was carrying a personal laptop. Today’s presentation and some
other confidential documents were on that laptop.</span><br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">I was in the basement, walking towards the car.
Then it happened. Somebody hit me with something at the backside of my head. I
fell to the floor. Then two hands were holding me down, and I could feel,
something was getting injecting into my neck.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">I was losing conciseness but still, I could see somebody grabbed a laptop from me. I wasn’t able to resist, lost complete conciseness ...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">When I opened my eyes, I was inside a small
room. I realized that was a lodge. It was undoubtedly a very low-cost one. I got
up from bed. I remembered everything that someone hit me from back and stole
my laptop.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“God damn it. They wanted my new designs that’s
why they hit me and stole the laptop. Who was it? I’ve to inform my
boss”. I came out of the room; it was on the first floor. I came over then I
saw a short guy at the front desk. He didn’t look like an American. I asked him
where was that place and who bought me here. He said some guy bought me here
yesterday night. He had told him that I was his brother. I asked him again,
which town it was? He said I was in Poovar, a small town in Kerela,
India.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“Oh my god, it is unbelievable. Am I in India???
Who stole my laptop, brought me to India from the US? This is ridiculous.
I’ve to call my boss.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">I asked that guy, whether it was possible to
make an international call. It was fortunate that the guy was able to talk in
English. I heard somewhere that most of the population in Kerala speaks English
and I was witnessing that fact in that small Kerala town. He showed me the
phone and told me what numbers I should dial first to make an international
call.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">I dialed my boss's office number directly, no one
answered the call. Then I understood it was night in the US, so I dialed my boss's
cell phone number. After a moment he answered.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“Sir, this is Trivedi. Please listen carefully.
I was attacked by somebody, and my laptop was stolen. And right
now I’m in a small town, India. I don't know how, but they brought me here. You have to call the FBI and
report it”, I told him everything.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">There was a silence for a few seconds from the other
side, then he said, “See Mr, this is not a time for practical jokes, I just met
Trivedi this evening at my office. So don’t tell me that you are Trivedi. You
better call someone to make a fool”.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">I was shocked after listening to what he had said.
“What are you saying? You met Trivedi today evening, that’s impossible, I’m
Trivedi, and somebody stole my laptop and designs. Sir, you didn’t recognize my
voice. I have been working in your company for more than 10 years!!!”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“I told you Mr, stop talking nonsense. You are
not Trivedi”, he disconnected the call.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">I was stalled. “What is going on? When I’m here, how come he was telling me that he met Trivedi. Whom did he meet
actually?” my head was spinning with those questions. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“Who stole my designs? Why they bought me to live
here, instead of killing. I have to call Michele. Yes, she will remember me.”</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">I called Michele’s cell number. After a while, she answered.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“Michele, this is Trivedi, see… something
terrible is gonna happen. I don’t understand what is that exactly. Can you believe that I'm in India, someone brought me here, you have to help me”.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">She was laughing on phone. “Are you Trivedi?
Then who is in my bed? A ghost … haha.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“What? Trivedi is with you??” </span><span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">it was a double shock to me.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“Yes, he is with me in my bedroom. You want to
talk to him” and I heard that she gave the phone to some other person.</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll white; color: #191c1e; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">“Hello, this is Trivedi speaking, who is it?”
the voice is not my voice. I was thinking, “if he is Trivedi then who am I??”</span>

I darted around, and then
recalled the premises. It was my office and I was in my chair inside cubicle. “What I’m doing in my office, now?”
I has tried to remember. “Yes, I have been working on to fix some issues
in BTT module, which has to be delivered soon. I slipped into sleep while
working on that”. I recalled. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Where is Ganesh?” I looked at Ganesh cubicle. It was empty,
no one was there. “He was with me yesterday night? Where is he now? He might
have left to home?” I thought. “But, why he left without informing me? Strange”,
thought. I looked at the watch; it showed 1:50AM! I knew it was not 1:50AM as I could feel the sun at outside, so it might be around 7
or 8 AM.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I went outside of the ODC and noticed no one were wondering around.
“Where are the workers? At least few workers would have been here by this time.
Is it holiday or what?” scratched my head. Went to elevator and pressed down button. It
didn’t take much time to realize that the elevator was not functioning. “Hmm…
damn it, I have to use stairs now”. I was muttering. I hate to use stairs as my office was in 6th
floor.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I came-out of the building; there was a canteen opposite
to my building. Usually by that time, the canteen should be with full of
employees. But no one was there, not even sweepers. Then I thought I should
call my manager to inform the situation. So I pulled my IPhone, which I bought
recently. There was no signal in it.
“What the hell, usually in office there should be full-signal, now it is
showing no signal”. I rebooted phone, as sometimes, that should pick the
signal, but even after that no signal. “Ok, let’s go to the security office”, I
thought as even in holidays, security should remain in office.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The security office located a bit far from the office. This
company is one of the largest software companies in the
country. The entire campus consists of several buildings, canteens and play
grounds. “no one is there” I thought
after reaching security office. “What is going on? Why no one is here? it
can’t be as they can’t leave the office, just like that”. I saw VOIP phone at
the desk, tried to call but no call sign. It was dead.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I better go home”, thought and went to the parking lot.
My bike was parked there. Minutes later, I was on the road. I was
driving on the city’s busiest highway. Usually by that time, even in holidays
that should be packed with vehicles, however, that time there was no sign of
any vehicle on road. It was like some curfew was placed in the city. I drove fast, on the way, i saw no body, literally no one!!! All
roads were damn empty!!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What is going on? Something is seriously wrong. Otherwise,
why no persons around?”. I reached the breakfast center. I used to take
breakfast in it during weekends. I entered inside, same thing, it was totally empty, but all
items were arranged neatly inside the glass door. “Where are these guys? What
happened to all of them?” I felt very hungry, grabbed few items inside the glass door
and ate it. I left the
shop and sat on my bike. I looked around and started analyzing the reasons for
that situation. I had never seen that place like that before as all shops were
open, but no people around.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Is it real? Or am I dreaming? Where are all the people?” I
decided to go home. I drove towards my home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ganesh, Ganesh…” I shouted after entering the house. The door
was not locked. Same thing, no sign of any persons inside. Ganesh and I were
colleagues and staying together. Two
other guys were also staying with us. I searched all rooms; it was a three
bedroom house. My house is in the first floor, and a family stays at ground
floor. I came over and knocked the ground floor entrance, I expected the uncle
would come to open the door. No body responded. I opened the door as that too
not locked. “Uncle… are you inside?". No response! I entered inside and noticed few breakfast plates. It looks like somebody had finished
eating the breakfast before they left!!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I slapped my head with a hand. I didn’t understand what was
going on, I became insane by seeing all these things, all “nobody” situation in
the city. I decided to go city center, so that at least I might find few
people.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Reached city center, damn it, no change in the scene, I was
alone. All shops, fruit stalls, super markets, everything, EVERYTHING WITH-OUT
PEOPLE.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“HELLO…ANY BODY THERE”, I shouted.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My voice is echoing back. I shouted again and again. I didn’t get any
response. I went to a TV showroom. I picked remote and surfing channels and looking for news channels. But those "news" channels were not broadcasting
anything "live". “God damn it,
it’s not just this city, looks like no people in the whole world. The question arose in my mind again, is it real?
Or am I dreaming? I’m working too much that’s why my brain is dreaming too
much. I better take a break from work. Ok, if it is dream, let’s enjoy it.
Think positive, and make any situation as an advantage to you”. Those self-motivating
words were truly refreshing to me. I drove to super mall. I parked bike outside
and went inside a branded showroom, where I rarely go,
because of the cost of the items in it. Now, since no one was around, and I
never really required to buy anything, so happily went inside. I spent almost 2 hours,
wearing different dresses, hats, shoes, trousers etc… Finally packed
hand-full of items and left the store. I saw a sports car parked outside. I
went near to it and noticed the car keys were inside. I smirked and opened the
trunk and put all items inside. Though I learned car driving long back, never drove a car
without instructor on road. Now I got a chance, that to sports car, I smiled again.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Started the car and accelerated to full speed. Understand
how much fun in driving the sports car. I drove to costliest restaurant; went
inside kitchen, whatever items were there, tasted all of them and ate stomach
full. Then from there went to a bar, and drunk fully. Didn’t know how I drove, but finally reached
home and slept on my bed without closing the doors.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Day-2:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next day morning my head was spinning due to excessive
drinks on previous day. I went to the bathroom and washed my face; came out and sat
on sofa. I had tried to remember what happened ; I recalled
that all persons in that city were vanished. I thought that was a dream, but not. All people are indeed vanished. I didn’t
panic that time. Concluded something, so got ready and left home. I noticed the
sports car on the road; remembered that I stole that car from shopping mall. Smiled and got inside; wanted to go police-station, where they would have a
radio phones or satellite phones, so that I could try to contact somebody, if
there are any.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Parked the car in front of the police station. As usual no one inside, but
seems like some activity had happened before they vanished. I went inside the
control room; There was
a satellite phone and emergency number written on it. During a national
emergency, we should call that number. I dialed that number. It was
ringing. Waited for few minutes, no one answered, and then I disconnected and
dialed again. No one answered the call. I tried some other emergency numbers,
no response at all. I was irritated; out of frustration smashed the phone on
the floor.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What to do? What to do? Am I alone in the whole planet? It
can’t be; decided to check in internet. I went to a nearby internet center.
It was open; all machines were running. I sat in front of a system and typed “www.google.com”
and it came instantly. But that didn’t give any happiness to me as the servers would work
for several days or months even if no persons around. I navigated to that day’s
news section; it was showing old news.
That means it didn’t record any events since previous day. I searched for
several hours, but all websites stopped updating their sites since 1:50 AM. The same time where my watch was still showing. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“God! I’ll really become a crazy guy by seeing all these
things?” I thought. I went out and sat on the pavement. The whole street was
quiet, the vehicles were parked haphazardly. Then I observed, not just human
beings, I didn’t see any other animals, like street dogs, birds, cows, nothing
at all. So that means no living species around except me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My mind was full of contradicting thoughts, “Is it some kind of alien abduction? Why they left me alone
and took everybody else, I’m just a normal person? not a special to be
considered… Or am I dreaming ???. I'm certain that it was not a dream.
Because, I never felt so real in any of previous dreams. May be I stressed too much, so I’m dreaming very long. Wait a minute... actually in dreams time doesn’t matter, you feel it is too long, but actually
you might be dreaming in hours or may be minutes.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dont know "dreaming" was not going from my mind. I pinched
myself just to confirm. It pained like anything, so it was not a dream. There
could be chances that everyone in this city vanished, but there might be people
living outside. I have to search for them. I drove my car towards home. Packed things required for one week living and put in the trunk.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I started driving to leave the city. Though it was morning,
the highway was damn quiet. The too much silence can certainly make
any person go crazy. I had put the songs in car with full volume, just to feel the sound. I never liked loud voice, but that time I felt happy while listening
the music. On the way I spotted an old house, it looks weird to me. I ignored it. One way I spotted another house, which looks exactly same. It happened again, and again and again. I stopped
the car and got down, decided to go near to that house. I stand just ten yards from that
house. Something was missing in that house. It didn’t look like a “REAL” house,
some kind of movie setup. I went further near to
the house. Surprisingly, after nearing 5
yards, I was not able to go further; some invisible wall was stopping me. I
touched it; I could feel that there was something in between. I looked at the
house carefully, the windows, doors, painting etc… all appeared strange to me.
I thought I had seen that type of home before, somewhere. But where, where? I
got headache thinking about it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I didn’t want to stay at that place. I returned back to
the car, and drove towards city limits. After driving 2 hours, I saw the sign
board, indicating that the road ahead was closed. And there was a giant metal
fence across the road.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Damn it”, I blurted. I realized that is the city limit and
impossible to go further through that fence. “Who constructed this? Whoever
abducted the city people, would they have done this? But why? … It might be
that there is something out there, which they don’t want me to see.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I got down from the car and noticed there is a small
mountain on the right side. “If I’m able to climb that, I may see what is in
the other side.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I started climbing the mountain.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After a while I reached the top and looked ahead. It was not
clear to me first what I saw. My mind was taking so much time to process that
image. Some electrical signals or gama rays, unfinished shapes. I tried to move
closer, then that happened; I have been pulled back forcefully from that place,
and fell on the ground.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I looked up; I can see the sky, a clear blue sky. Then I saw digital numbers on the sky,
counting backwards from 10.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“10… 9… 8… 7”, “what the hell, numbers on the sky.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“5…4…3…2…1”, then I heard a massive sound and everything
turned black, pitch black.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
…………………………….</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
…………………………….</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I opened my eyes and removed PSE helmet from my head. I
kept it on the table. I pressed a button
on the right side of the helmet; a blue colored small chip came out. I took it
in my hand, “Alone- Simulation program-59” was written with Golden colored letters
on it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Year 2035/09/09 – Time 1:50 AM, the digital calendar on the
wall showing it.<br />

Ramana was lying on bed in ICU and fighting for his life as his body burnt entirely in a fire-accident; Doctors told that there were doing their best to save him but wounds were very severe. His daughter Vani and his wife Malathi were standing outside of ICU. Malathi was holding Vani’s hand and moaning. She was praying god that nothing should happen to him. Vani doesn’t know why mummy looked so tensed, but seeing her like that makes her worry. Prabhakar was also standing outside of the ICU room with his daughter Chitra’. Ramana was house-keeper in Prabhakar’s home. <br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
After sometime, Ramana body stopped responding to doctor medicines. Doctors checked pulse and confirmed his inevitable thing. They closed his body with white cloth and called his family inside. Ramana’s wife went inside and burst into tears. She cried a lot. Vani didn’t know what happened to her daddy and why mummy was crying like that. But tears were coming from her eyes to see her mummy crying. Her friend Chitra hugged Vani and told her not to cry. Prabhkar crunched his head with his two hands and sobbing. “I shouldn’t have behaved like that with you… you are a great man”, he was blabbering.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Few months ago ...<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Prabhkar was working as a forest officer; actually he doesn’t necessarily require to do any job as he has so many assets inherited from his fore-fathers. The money that he gets from those assets was sufficient enough for him to live luxury life. However, he loves nature so much, so he has chosen that job so he could spend most of his time with nature. He bought a house near to a lake for the beautiful scenery. When he had moved to that house, all of sudden his wife got paralysis, hence then she stays most of the time in a wheel chair. He has been giving treatment to her, but she didn’t recover fully. He has a 5 years old daughter, her name is Chitra. Since her mother was like that, and no one was there to take care of her kid, so he recruited Ramana’s family as care takers. Ramana settled as a cook and his wife, Malathi was responsible to take care of Chitra's mother. Ramana also has a daughter, her name is Vani. She was also 5 years old.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Initially they didn’t talk with each other, but slowly Vani and Chitra became very close friends. They used to play near the lake and spend lot time together. Chitra used to dress up well as per her status, but Vani used to wear normal clothes. Chitra mentioned few times to Vani as she can give her dresses to her, as she has so many dresses in her beruva. Chitra looks pretty and elegant in her manners. But Vani was not like that, though they have so many differences in their appearance, but still they had continued their friendship.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Prabhakar was an arrogant; he inherited the feudal characteristics from his fore-father as he always sees the backward-caste people as salves. He didn’t like his daughter to make friendship with a servant’s daughter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He warned few times his kid, but he didn’t give a proper answer when his daughter asks innocently, “Why daddy I should not talk to her?” Sometimes he says, she doesn’t look pretty, so you should n’t do friendship with her. But her mother encouraged to continue friendship with Vani. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Days were going very quickly and day by day their friend-ship became stronger and stronger. One day Chitra was sitting along with Vani and eating food given by Ramana with his own hands. That day, Prabhakar mood was not good as he had lost one of the Govt contract. The moment he entered inside home, he noticed that Chitra was laughing and eating food along with Vani. His face became red with angry and went straight to them and kicked the food plate holding by Ramana. The food was splattered across the hall.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“How dare you to feed your cheap food to my daughter… get away from my daughter… if I see either you or your daughter next time with my kid… I don’t know what I do”, he yelled on Ramana and went away with his kid.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ramana stunned to see him like that. Vani was terrified and started crying.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Why daddy, uncle always says don’t talk to her? I’m not looking pretty, that’s why? ”, she asked him innocently. Ramana didn’t know what answer to give her. Though the Govt is trying to eradicate the differences between poor and rich, still in many places people despise the schedule caste people. They treat them as slaves. Until there is a change in people attitude, we can’t see a real caste-less society, Ramana thought and tears started rolling from his eyes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One day Chitra and Vani were playing hide and seek game. Chitra was hiding inside the kitchen and closed the door. Vani was looking for her in all rooms. Then all of sudden there was a short-circuit in the kitchen and sparks came from it, within no time fire started inside. Chitra was terrified to see fire and started screaming loud. Ramana was outside at the garden. He felt that there was something wrong in the kitchen. He immediately went to the kitchen front door and tried to open it. But it didn’t open. The smoke was coming from inside. He understood that the door was locked from inside. He didn’t have time to call fire-engine. He went other side of the kitchen and jumped inside through a window. It was totally dark because of the smoke. The flames were spreading quickly every-corner of the room. He saw Chitra was lying in a corner. He grabbed her and ready to leave the room, then suddenly the gas-cylinder which was kept on stool fell on his right leg. That caused his leg-fracture, he screamed because of the pain. He understood that he couldn’t move, and it was too late for him to escape along with Chitra. Since he was near to window, he had thrown her from it with a full force. She fell on the grass. After that he caught in that fire. Ramana’s wife observed the fire and called the fire engine. By the time they had arrived, Ramana body burnt fully. Prabhakar came quickly from office and he stalled after knowing that Ramana caught in fire while escaping his daughter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
In hospital, Prabhakar realized how cruelly he behaved with Ramana and with his daughter. But still he saved his kid by putting his life in danger. He held Vani’s hand and took away from the ICU room and said, “See Vani, daddy was not feeling well… so he is sleeping… he might take few days to come home again from hospital … but don’t worry … we are all there to take care of you … I’ll buy toys and dresses for you… and even you can play with Chitra too, Ok”, Vani eyes were sparked as he allowed her to play with her best friend that is only she ever wanted.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Later Prabhakar treated her equally with his daughter. And he joined her in the same school Chitra was going. Since then Vani and Chitra were happily playing at their favorite place of near the Lake.</div>

She recently started playing with her new friend at the lake, which is just a few yards from their home. Kavya always likes to play with her mysterious friend. Their home is in the suburb and at the edge of a small forest. Kavya’s father Hari is very fond of that home as he had spent most of his childhood days in it. Though it is far from the city, he decided to live in it. There is a two-meter wall around the property and one can see a beautiful juicy green grass surrounding it.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
When they moved there, Kavya was a year old kid. After Kavya, as per doctors, Lakshmi can't conceive another child. So for them, Kavya is everything. When she turned five, she wanted more friends, but there were hardly any other homes nearby so not many kids to play with her. She felt lonely and bored. Once in a while, they take her to their friend’s home in the city. But for Kavya that was not enough.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Many times Lakshmi asked Hari to move to some other home near the city just for Kavya so she could find many friends there, but he keeps postponing it. Meanwhile, Kavya got used to play alone and spend more time at the lake.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
When the days were going like this, one day Kavya came home happy and said that she met a girl at the lake, who became her friend. Lakshmi was surprised because there was no one living near to their home, so there is no chance for anyone to come there to play. But when Kavya described her new friend like how she talks, how she looks, then Lakshmi thought, that girl could be coming from a nearby village. As per Kavya's description, she was the same age as Kavya and every day she comes by just wearing a kid’s panty. But Lakshmi was curious to know how come such a small girl comes alone from a village.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
She asked Kavya to bring her to their home. But she refused to do that as the mysterious friend doesn’t like to come to their home. And no one must see her other than Kavya; otherwise, she wouldn’t meet her again. After hearing that, Lakshmi started suspecting her friend. She told Hari about Kavya’s new friend. But he didn’t care much about it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Lakshmi decided to find out who was really this mysterious friend! So one day she prepared Kavya’s favorite sweet to soothe her and find more details about her friend. She was waiting for her to come back. After some time, she came.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“Hi Sweety, you know what I prepared for you. Can you guess?”, she said by carrying her.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“Hey… mummy… I know you prepared Jamun … I like it so much”, She was very happy. Lakshmi nodded and took her to the kitchen and gave her favorite sweet Jamun. While she was eating, she asked, “Sweety, does your friend also like this sweet?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“Yes, mummy”, she said gulping the Jamun.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Why don't you take this to your friend? She might feel very happy, Ok”, she said by giving a box to her.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“Ya, that's a good idea mummy. She feels very happy… you are very nice”, she said by taking that box.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“Will you go now? is your friend still be at the lake? “, she asked by looking at her carefully.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“Yes, she stays always there. Even she doesn’t have any friends…, so I go and give this box right now”, she said and ready to leave home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“Ok, come quickly… and be careful alright”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“Yes… mummy and my friend feel very happy after seeing this sweet… bye”, she said and went outside.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After a few seconds, Lakshmi followed her, and she was extremely careful so that Kavya won’t notice her. When she reached the lake, she was stunned after seeing what Kavya was doing. Actually, THERE WAS NO ONE other than Kavya at that place. She was talking alone and feeding Gulab Jamun in the air!!! She was talking in such a way that someone was sitting beside her. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Lakshmi went quickly and stood in front of Kavya and shouted, “Sweety… What are doing?”,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Kavya looked startled after seeing her.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“Mummy… Why you came? I told you shouldn’t come here... see…my friend left”, she muffled.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Keep quiet… you don’t have any friends here... you were talking alone! “, she said in a hysteric manner.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kavya has never seen her mother like that. She started crying, “I was talking with my friend… not talking myself… she left because you came.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“Enough… come home”, she grabbed her hand and took her home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
When they reached home, Kavya was still crying and went inside her bedroom and closed the door. Lakshmi was terribly upset to see her kid talking alone. She waited for Hari to come home so that she could share what happened today with him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“Oh… that is very common baby… kids sometimes behave like that… they make friendship with imaginary people… and they talk with them… so don’t make it as a big issue… take it easy”, Hari said to her when she told about what happened that day.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
She didn’t expect that answer from him as she thought he would take Kavya to the doctor for a check-up.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“But… honey… it is not good behavior for anyone to talk on their own… so can we take her to the check-up?“, She is worried.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“I told you … take it easy… it’s not that big problem… alright … I’ve to take a bath”, he said and went to the bathroom.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
But Lakshmi was not convinced at all; however, she wanted to keep a close eye on her daughter's actions. Her worry was doubled when Kavya one day told her that her friend came to her bedroom to talk to her since after that incident Lakshmi was not allowing Kavya to meet her.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What did she tell to you?” she was curious to know.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“She is very angry as you are not allowing me to talk to her. She told, she would kill you… but I pleaded not to do that… she is not like before… she has changed so much… I’m afraid mummy”, she is frightened.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />Lakshmi's face turned pale and terrified. She hugged her immediately, “nothing is going to happen, sweety… don’t worry … ok”, she tried to soothe her. Inside she thought, why the hell she was talking like that; she strongly determined to take her to the doctor before the situation goes out of her hands.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“I don’t understand what’s the matter with you… you are not listening to my words… we must take her to the doctor… she is behaving like a crazy girl… today she said her imaginary friend is going to kill me… do you wait until she turns to a MAD girl”, Lakshmi was shouting on Hari.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“Calm down Lakshmi… nothing is going to happen … just wait for few days everything is going to be alright”, Hari was trying to calm her.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“When… when it will happen… you don’t like to change the house...you don’t like to take her to the doctor… you don’t like anything to happen… why? I have to know today … that’s it”, she was shouting in a hysteric manner.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“No … we can't take her to any doctor… because… “, Hari stopped and he didn’t know what else to tell.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Because… why? why we can’t take her to the doctor? Now I’m realizing why… because you don’t like her… you don’t have any affection towards her!!!“,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Hari got angry and crunched his fist, “Don't talk nonsense… I didn’t want to take her… because there is NO HER… yes, our sweety is NO MORE … OUR KID IS DEAD!!!… when we moved here… you took her in a boat on the lake… but… that time the boat crashed to a tree and flipped. And both of you had fallen in the water… you were able to survive, but our sweety had drowned to death... “, he burst into tears.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
She was shocked and looking at him unbelievably.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
He continued, “after that incident… you didn’t believe that our kid is no more… you started behaving as if she is still alive and playing with us… you constructed a dream world, where our sweety lived with us and has grown up… it was you… you didn’t like to change home, because if we move to a different home.. you might recall that sweety is no more…, but you didn’t want that… you wanted to live in your dream world … and feel our sweety presence… but you don’t understand… how much torture I had gone through by seeing you like that … “, he stopped.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“No… you are telling lies… our sweety is alive… I can show you… she is sleeping… she is alive“, Lakshmi muttered and fell on the floor unconsciously.</div>

style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Back to the future-II”</i> Or “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Minority report</i>” films? In these films, they showed that in the future, may be in year 2015 or 2050, people use flying cars for their daily commutation as like how we use normal cars on roads at present. It’s not just in that movie; flying cars are the norm for almost all futuristic films. Now, we are in Mid-2012, do we see any sign of this going to happen even in near future? What are the difficulties in making of these crazy cars? I reckon time's up for roads, with their mile-long traffic jams and pedestrian crossings. How great would it be to just take to the skies, where we could avoid traffic jams by simply flying over the other cars? Isn’t that cool? But still why we could not able to achieve it? Is it very expensive to produce these cars? Many questions to be answered, let’s explore and try to find the answers.</span> </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 100%; line-height: 115%;">A flying car, as the name implies, is a vehicle that can be flown in the air <i>and</i> used on the roads. That means, it obviously has to have the basic characteristics of an aircraft (like propellers) and a car (like road tires). It would have to be light enough to fly in the air and strong enough to move on the road. Because a flying car would have the ability to <i>land and drive</i>, it would have to be able to take the impact of hitting the road and then moving on it uninterrupted, smoothly. Besides, it would have to be installed with additional safety features before being released for the public use. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Actually the first flying-car experiment had started in 18<sup>th</sup> century; however that was a big failure. After that many experiments started towards it. Let’s see the brief history. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 100%; line-height: 115%;">The first working flying car prototype was built in 1917 by Glenn Curtiss. The Autoplane was a small craft at only 27 feet long, and could only carry a payload of 710 pounds. But the Autoplane never achieved sustained flight. It made a few hops, but it was destined to go down in history as the flying car that never really flew.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">These inventors never managed to develop a viable flying car, and some even died testing their inventions. However, they proved that a car could be built to fly, and inspired a new group of roadable aircraft enthusiasts. With advances in lightweight material, computer modeling and computer-controlled aircraft, the dream is very close to becoming reality. </span></span></h4>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Whatever may be the case, a modern personal air vehicle should contain a powerful engine, which is capable of lifting the vehicle up and at same time able to drive on road. Most likely, it should contain double engine as a back-up. It must also have wings or aircraft blades for flying, but those wings should easily be detachable or foldable. Another important thing is, the material used in flying car as it should be lightweight and strong to sustain the damages during the travel.A flying car will have to be run on <span style="font-style: italic;">Eco-friendly</span>, <i>safe</i> and <i>inexpensive</i> fuel, for better success in the market.</span></span></h4>
<h4 face="georgia">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Most crucial point is the safety.</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> The main reason aircraft manufactures haven't invested much in trying to offer low-cost private aircraft has probably got to do something with safety issues related to flight. Air accidents are more dangerous and fatal than road accidents. So if the inventors of a flying car are aiming the market of the masses, they will have to make it safe. For that, they will have to include features like safety cages, air bags, parachutes and/or crush zones, etc. Because of all the requirements needed for it to work, a functional flying car might seem complicated and difficult, but it is certainly not impossible. Let’s see what modern inventors are offering to us. </span></span></h4>

I hope you enjoyed it. I like thrillers and suspense stories a lot. But if you see all my previous blogs, the majority were “Love” stories ( few exceptions like “Enemy” etc…) So I decided to write a thriller and suspense (long) story. In fact, it was a kind of a ‘mini” Novel. But I was a little skeptical about the responses because people tend to favor love stories over thrillers here (Correct me if I’m wrong ). However, I started writing and was able to finish it up. Nevertheless, at the beginning of the series, I got very poor responses, so thought of scraping this story, but again changed my mind.<p> Here I just want to let you know a few behind scenes of Meghana's story. I hope you feel interested.</p><p> 1) Sandhya was the name first I thought of for the main character Meghana. And I started writing the series with the name “Megana”, but changed it to Meghana (please check ‘h’) later on.</p> <p> 2) I initially thought of her profession as ‘Sales girl’. Later changed because BPO is more opt to the readers.</p> <p> 3) I thought of showing ‘Watch man’ in her PG as one of the main suspects. But later some reason, I didn’t put that.</p> <p> 4) Vijay’s father's involvement was not planned at the beginning of the story. Which I developed later.</p> <p> 5) All names were changed like Meghana's boyfriend's name was changed from Sumanth to Allush ( funny thing here is, allush is my daughter's friend name ), Meghana uncle's name was changed from Santhosh to Sudhakar Rao, etc.</p> <p> 6) Meghana's boss was also supposed to be one of the suspects, but that also got dropped.
The main plot was not changed. The whole story was based on that point.</p> <p> I have spent a month finishing this whole story. I wanted to use professional (like in Indian Novels, but not like in western novels) language while describing the scenes in this story, so I took a lot of care before posting it, like proofreading with my friend and editing multiple times, etc.</p> <p>Finally, Let me know your views about this story ( I just want to know one more time) and if you haven’t read it, now the whole story is available in my blog. Please read it and let me know. Your comments mean a lot to me)</p> <p>Bye,

I have not studied much and my parents were no more. I have only one sister who is way younger than me and studying in hostel. If I had to support her I had to stay here and endure all the pains inflicted on me. I requested Meghana to stop this incest relationship and advised her about her future life. And the way these activities will affect my life as well. She didn’t listen to me, not even a single word not even my plea entered her heart. I had done what I could do and left everything the way it came. About that time ... It happened... God had answered my prayers and I got pregnant… I could see visible changes in him .He started taking care of me and I felt relaxed, he had even asked Meghana to go out from our house. She refused initially as was she afraid that her luxury life would go away, if she would stay outside. But he never gave her any option but to go out. So, she left us…</span></div>

She was wearing beautiful embroidery saree in lush green color with simple but pretty pearl set and white stone bangles to suit her complexion. She looked gorgeous and he controlled his urge to have her in his arms. He decided to meet her and asked Sunil to wait there and went to the bus stop.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#00201F">On reaching he said, “Hello, Abhignya.

Her room was left unoccupied as per his instructions. He opened the room door and entered inside. There was a body shape mark on the floor to indicate that her body was lying there before. He went further inside and started observing the premises carefully. His team had searched the room thoroughly and taken few items, whatever they felt was useful for the investigation, so it was almost hopeless to search again. But his instinct told that there was something left unnoticed in that room. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#00201F">There was no separate bedroom as everything was arranged in single spacious hall.

He removed it and put the TV back. He found that there was a nude drawing on paper. When he closely observed it, he surprised as it was Meghana’s picture. There was a note on the bottom saying, “WITH LOVE”. He kept that paper in his pocket and spent some more time and left the room after that. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#00201F">From there he directly went to his home.

She was standing far from him and was talking with someone. He didn’t recognize the person with whom she was talking. He wanted to see him closely, so he walked towards that person. Abhignya and his mother were opposing and pulling him back. But he didn’t listen; he went and pulled that person towards him.

However, that was not part of the parcel that she bought that night. But where did it come from? Why she ate that food instead of the parcel that she bought? Had someone given that food to her? If that would be the case, how come she ate it? The person might be a well-wisher or close friend of her, whom she believed blindly. It is really hard to predict who that was”, Vijay sighed. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#00201F">“Hmmmm....

Cause of death is yet to be known, waiting for the autopsy report, Veeraya”, he said.<br /><br />“Oh, what do you think, was it murder?” Veeraya asked.<br /><br />Vijay shrugged and said, “I didn’t see any sign of murder attempt on her, also not fully convinced that it was suicide. It might be suicide, she might have taken sleeping pills”, he took a deep breath, “But we have to wait and see”.<br /><br />“If you want, you can take Sunil as a helper in your investigation. He shows interest in this kind of cases”, Veeraya said.<br /><br />Sunil is Veeraya's only son, recently joined as a constable. Vijay smiled and nodded.<br /><br />Veeraya felt extremely happy, he wanted to see his son as an Inspector. He was confident that if his son worked closely with Vijay, then he can learn many things.<br /><br />He called Sunil, and told him to help Vijay in this case. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-Times New Roman"font-family:";" >Sunil,chatterbox type guy with loads of doubts in everything he sees or hears,but eager to learn. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-Times New Roman"font-family:";" ><br />He went through the case details and wanted to know the process involved in determining the cause and time of death by doing the autopsy </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-Times New Roman"font-family:";" ><br />Vijay chuckled and started clarifying his doubt.<br /><br />“In a murder or suicide, one of the best pieces of evidence is the victim's body. It usually indicates the cause of death like strangulation, gun shot, blunt force trauma, etc. The fine details of how this death occurred can provide very good additional information. To the untrained eye most of this evidence might go unnoticed. Forensic pathologists are experts and trained to gather this kind of information from the body”, Vijay stopped and gazed at Sunil. He looked very curious to know more.<br /><br />He smiled and continued further, “The examiner will try to develop a complete picture of how the victim died and any evidence, including trace evidence that may be found on the victim's clothing, belongings, and on the body itself. In the end, based on these clues, the examiner determines the cause of death. In order to find the time of death, they check body’s discoloration, temperature and rigor. Experts can determine the time of the death exactly with these details. So that’s it, OK?”<br /><br />Sunil clapped after hearing that.<br /><br />Vijay patted Sunil’s shoulder and sat in his chair looking at his pending cases.<br /><br />After three days,he got call from the hospital with autopsy details. The report stated that the cause of death was due to poison in food. He was surprised as he didn’t expect that. He asked Sunil to collect the report from hospital.<br /><br />After reading entire report, he began to analyze the possibilities.<br /><br />“What is the reason of the death sir?”, Sunil asked, he was unable to control his curiosity.<br /><br />“Ym… Death due to poison in her food”, Vijay told.<br /><br />“Oh… I didn’t know that food poison would kill people. Last time when I ate pani-poori, my stomach was upset, and the doctor told it was a food poison. Thank God It was not serious enough, otherwise, I would not be here now”, Sunil said fearfully.<br /><br />“Ha ha ha”, Vijay laughed for some time, “Hey, that is ‘food poison’ not ‘poison in food’”.<br /><br />“Oh.. What is the difference”, Sunil kept his face innocently.<br /><br />“If somebody mix poison in the food purposefully then that is called ‘poison in food’”, he explained.<br /><br />“Oh… so it is not a suicide?” Sunil said.<br /><br />“No… we can’t say anything now, but we can’t rule-out the murder also in this case. Let’s put more attention. We have to resolve this case as soon as possible”, Vijay said. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-Times New Roman"font-family:";" >(To be continued …)</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Georgia","serif"font-family:";" > </span></p>Paderthihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02370920625547502831noreply@blogger.com0
