Another village demolished. Another loot captured back. One more victory for Doolmah's clan.</span></div>

He took out his pipe and took a long drag. The weed felt good, calmed his anger, numbed his pain. It was the forty third battle for gold and their clan's thirty fifth victory. The housers would now come in, count the gold and take it back to the secret storage- hidden from the strong giant clans, hidden from the leader at Lutswayhe castle.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

A thirteen foot giant with a six foot beard and arms the size of half an oak tree, Dorgond was the leader of the giants west of river Maradrih. Known for his lavish taste for blood and infamous lust for gold, Dorgond was the fiercest, ugliest and cruelest giant Bolur had ever known. He was his brother by blood and no two giants hated each other more than Bolur and Dorgond.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div>

Their mother was killed in a rumble of ruthless giants and humans, something that was awfully common in those times. The humans were hunting them to expand their territory. Humans knew that the giants were the only resistance against their inhumane world conquer.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

He worked hard, he fought hard and he slept less. Most importantly, he was a giant of many words- big words, something giants were rarely capable of.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“There was royalty in his blood”, old Mifur used to say. “He was a sensible giant, if ever such a thing meant anything”.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div>

Bolur knew that and he respected his brother nevertheless. They were inseparable, Dorgond and himself, always playing together, running together, grunting together and drinking together. Then father got killed in a coup for leadership and that event changed their lives.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

He killed them all one by one- slow, painful deaths. Bolur was there- as usual standing beside his brother, his general in arms, horrified at the cruelty but loyal to his kin.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div>

Dorgond and Bolur, the battle thirsty hardest, tallest and fiercest giants west of the river- as they were known to be now. Giants heard of them and travelled long to come and pay respects, offering gold, precious stones and high quality mead for acceptance in their clan. Goblins fled their villages when news of the brothers advancing towards their land reached. Some resisted, tried to form armies but none survived. Only humans could have stood a chance but cowards that they were, most of them never dared.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Too much bloodshed may have been a cause, Dorgond’s blood lust or Bolur’s consciousness may have been other reasons. The separation may have been triggered by that continued ruthlessness but the final stroke came when Dorgond bedded Bolur’s love interest- a female giant who was the daughter of a chieftain from south. They had joined their clan 2 months back and ever since Bolur had seen her, he had gone softer. </span></div>

Maybe he did that to keep him alert and fierce. Maybe Dorgond used his anger to make Bolur remain fierce or may be Dorgond was just like those cheap, backstabbing, jealous humans. Bolur didn’t know, Bolur did not want to know. Bolur was angry and there was a fight- not like the common rumble of giants in disagreement but a real fight- with intention to kill.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Bolur called out the chief and the chief answered. Giants could not ignore a call for a one-on-one fight. It was traditional. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Giants !</span></div>

This was a fight to the death- the winner would replace the one killed as chief. The brothers would fight each other to their deaths.</span></div>

He got into the mad frenzy in which he knew not friend from foe. Dorgond charged and the two brothers clashed. Bolur saw Dorgond and he knew that in this state, his brother felt no pain. Whoever would win, whoever would die, Bolur would end up being the only one hurt. But it had to be done- this tyrant had to be removed- for his friends, for the families of his friends and for his love.</span></div>

Initially Bolur couldn’t make himself throw a killing blow but seeing Dorgond’s wrath he stopped holding himself back. It had to be done. For a better world. For the river to remain bloodless.</span></div>

Bolur was the smart one, the quicker one, the cunning one. He dodged around. Taking blows, tiring Dorgond out. He weared out Dorgond and then went on his offensive. His famous full swing blows, cutting Dorgond, spilling blood, his knees, then his right arm, his left shoulder, his right toe. Dorgond was down. Fighting, but down. Bolur was close now. Everyone waited for the finishing blow. Some in shock, some in awe and some in hopeful enthusiasm. They cheered Bolur and not their chief.</span></div>

Their home was under attack and it was by their worst enemies. The giants fought hard. The injured brothers shouting orders. They all took blows but brutally bludgeoned the human army and kicked them out of their lands. Giants never lost- not to humans at least.</span></div>

Trees were uprooted, stones scattered, devastation all around. Humans had been chased back to the river, into their ships and off the coast.</span></div>

He was carrying a dead giant to the graveyard and limping from wounds given by Bolur earlier. Bolur felt sad, he went to his brother and held out his hand. Dorgond was surprised, he looked at the hand, then his look climbed from Bolur’s body to his face. They locked eyes for a moment. And then Dorgond spat on Bolur’s face. He yelled with anguish and gave Bolur a strong punch. Bolur fell on the ground, helped himself up and walked away.</span></div>

Dorgond grew in name, fame , wealth and power and Bolur was reduced to the first warrior in Doolmah’s clan. Doolmah was a giant from the north who had started a small clan looking out for gold, snatching, stealing from the goblins and sometimes from the giants as well.</span></div>

Soon he forgot who his foes were, he stopped realizing who he was fighting against. He followed orders to the last word. He was a killing machine now. All memories of past life were clouded by Dorgond’s image of spitting on his face, the utmost contempt for a giant in another- the tradition of disrespecting another’s existence. Bolur never used to believe in traditions. What an irony !</span></div>

He wanted Dorgond’s seat at the castle. Bolur was well aware of his intentions but he was sure that Doolmah was not half the leader Dorgond was. He was sure that Doolmah could do no harm untill this day.</span></div>

News was that the goblins had freshly stolen from the eastern pits governed by Dorgond. The loot was surplus and the goblins were an easy target especially when they were caught in a valley. A handful of giants could have taken them easily but still, Doolmah sought Bolur’s council in his tent. This felt strange. Bolur had a knack for sensing trouble.</span></div>

But he does that by killing half the giants. Don’t you know? Haven’t you been on his side for years, watching, assisting.

Doolmah knew he had struck the hammer.”You will rule. And I will assist you brother. You- the better warrior. You-the compassionate one. You-the one who everybody fears. You and I will make the world a better place for giants”.</span></div>

Doolmah opened his mouth to speak.”Stop tempting me you devil. I need time. I will lead the attack alright. Then, we will see”. Saying this Bolur left the tent and went to prepare his giants for attack.</span></div>

Bolur had known this ever since he had met him for the first time. He was a weak general but he was a passionate talker. He was witty but he was deceptive. He was a calculating giant and for that Bolur never trusted him. But the monster was right. Dorgond needed to be removed. He used to believe that once, he wanted to believe it again. Dorgond, the murderer, Dorgon, the devil but Dorgond, the one who fearlessly took an arrow in battle to save Bolur, so many a time.</span></div>

Too easy for Bolur. Bolur took another long drag from his pipe. So much blood. All the gold in this world could not fade the crimson from his eyes. This needed to stop. Dorgond, the harbinger of death, Dorgond the priest of blood but Dorgond, the one who carried the severely injured Bolur for a hundred miles to safety after the battle of the nine stations.</span></div>

The castle was not an easy target and a siege was useless as the giants inside had huge stockpiles of food and water. They needed to get past the guarding giants and break the stone walls- even though they were giants and could manage that easily, they always feared stone wall.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Giants!</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></div>

He was a practical giant. He took pleasure in killing yes, but, all he did was for the good of giant-kind. It seemed pointless now as his own brother failed to see this. If not even his own brother could see why he did what he did, he had failed as a chief. He no more deserved to lead. To abandon your post meant death by giant decree and he would not die by the hands of an unworthy being. He would die by Bolur’s axe and today was the day.</span></div>

<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

His fighting skills had improved ten-fold since that day. He was a different giant now. His mind was sharp, his judgement clear. He would not hesitate-not today.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Dorgond was at the ground sneering at Bolur. Bolur raised his axe high to deliver the final blow. The giants in the room watched expectantly.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Blood filled Bolur’s eyes. He had done what needed to be done. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

The giants around him confused, looked at general Bolur, failing to comprehend what just happened. They looked at Dorgond who was gawking at Bolur in horror. They looked at leader Doolmah who was lying headless beside Bolur.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

They were giants and they were thick-skinned. They had slow brains and had neglegible intellect. But they understood loyalty and the greatest loyalty was defined by blood. They knew when to respect a leader and they knew when to realize that something right has happened. They laughed and slapped Bolur’s back, spat on Doolmah for making them rebel against their own kin, to fight against the supreme chief, for motivating them to be disloyal.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Their faith in trust, their bonds of fraternity, rekindled.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Dorgond wanted to be a better giant. He held out his hand to his little brother. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Bolur did not see red any more. He could see that river would not be red now. Dorgond would lead well as he always did but less ruthlessly.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

And then he spat on Dorgond’s face. The giants made a circle around, Dorgond and Bolur got to fighting again. Giants cheered, axes swung.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">11:30 p.m.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Gluttony subsided to stomach ache and was followed by misery. Hadn't felt that alone in a long long time. Empty rooms, no electricity, ground floor filled with octogenarians- Life ! Facebook seems like an outlet for pretense, whatsapp a communication hazard-there's no smiley made yet to describe my mounting headache.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">12:00 a.m</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Desperately searching for a left-over cigarette on the desk. Furious at the lack of sleep, companion and hope, I decided to fish for tobacco filled stubs in the ashtray(basically a jar of empty Foxs') with the torchlight on my cell- bless Nokia. Fuck - success had never loved me back.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dunno when</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sleep !</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bam ! Woke up with a start-staring into the blind darkness. And then, it hit. The pain. Searing pain on the lower left side of my jaw. Who's there? Night ! Logic starts to set in-where's my left hand? O it's right there where I remember putting it last-inside my pants. Where's the right one?-under my head. Shit. Where's the light switch? Alright, alright, alright - relax. No-one's here-quiet like the dead. Must've been a dream, a bad dream but the pain was real, scarily real. My reflection looks OK in the mirror, no sense of activity in the room. The headache's returning-fuck it, sleep for now.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Slap ! What the bloody fuck ! Now I'm pissed-if there's a ghost here, he'll be fucked tonight. Lights on. I'm skipping across the room like a boxer looking to maul his opponent. Nothing. Fury makes way for fear. It's still the left side of the face and the pain only added to the fear. Am I shivering? may be- I don't know- and I thought reasoning was my strength ! It's 3.40 a.m , the house is empty, a dog is crying somewhere-someone shut that stray fucker's whining. A story comes into mind- a story from long long ago- some priest was talking about things, interesting but illogical things, about a world above and a world below. It was a long one but only one small fragment lingers. The other side enters our realm between 3 and 4 am. Man ! savage beliefs, better wash my face-it still hurts. Water feels good. It's all calm- you can be worried for only a limited time- you gotta be realistic about these things ! Lie down, watch the ceiling, remember the song-any song-leave the lights on.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">WAKE UP DAMMIT ! late for office-yet again. Jaw still paining- I've been hit before so I know the feeling. It's going to be alright in about 2 days but it was a clean punch-exactly the way I'd hit a foe. No time to mull over it-will feel better at work-and then there's Sarika-O Sarika ! What a fantastic conversation this incident is going to make - me = such a fucking lowlife. </span></div>

Never knew I could tell a funny story(I didn't intend it to be funny though), never knew I had it in me. Sarika seems impressed- oh yeah ! Get's me a bonus one to one talk with her- eternal bliss ! Should I ask her out? Maybe I should. No, bad idea. But why not ? Because I'm a dork. So what? Everyone I see her with is very much the same. Ok. Ok. O fucking K. Let's do it.</span></div>

So you get the idea that chatting up with the same sex while binge drinking all the time was not my thing. I’ve always believed in a healthy friend circle(it never really lasts long but while it is, it seems to be good, at least I feel it’s good).</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I met Tammy at work. Tammy was the not-so-tall, not-so-slim, not-so-shy, not-so-hot, not-so-girly version of every guy’s dreamgirl. If I had to describe her in one word, it would be bubbly. We talked and then we talked again and before we knew it we talked all the time. Before we knew it, Tammy was close to my best friend’s spot-yes it’s a special place I keep reserved for an awesome being with superhuman characteristics. I also sometimes rate my friends. Call me shallow, but look who’s talking!</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>

Many guys around had surely already fallen for her. She wasn’t the sweetest, hottest or prettiest girl anyone had ever met. But, her presence gave you comfort. She could laugh at almost anything and when she did, you’d forget all your troubles. Soon, she started to seem prettier and nearing perfection. A feeling like that generally rises and from past experiences I’ve learnt that you start talking with such a person more carefully, weighing your words and trying to find the exact words that would sound perfect in her ears. I thought I’d go there but somehow the feeling stopped at one point.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>

Did I mention my hobby which I also believe to be a god-gift? If yes, then please forgive the repetitiveness but I’m sure you’d love to hear it again. The gift of observance. I know you think I’m being cocky and that everyone has/can have that. But, no. </span></span></div>

Rest of the things are left by our mind to run their own course.</span></span></div>

I can usually tell how they are with other people without actually invading into their private lives. This may be a self-defense mechanism my brain managed to apply when I got fooled to trust blindly-in school. But that’s another story.</span></span></div>

<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, Tammy seemed to like me. She always seemed to be happy to hang out with me, go to the movies, eager to push me into her friend circle and always seemed ready to talk. Having unique qualities as she did topped with a very selfless and caring nature, she deserved the love of anyone who knew her. But, as I summed her up in one word, she was bubbly.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I soon observed that Tammy’s seemingly affection towards me was not actually it. It was her second nature to be friendly, caring, jovial, cheerful and happy. She was the same with every one of her good male friends.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

She was, is and forever will be the nicest person I know. She was very casual about her talks and mostly her day to day activities. She saw people who were close to her as close friends. She would share things about her and be a good listener. You’ve all met a version of Tammy in your lives. If you think you haven’t, think again.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>

I somehow managed to see that glitch and my increasingly intelligent brain put a barricade over my unknowingly stupid heart. </span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

We were inseparable. She could drink like me, dance wildly with me, go to unplanned trips with me, be always ready to watch the stupidest movies with me. Everything was good. My best friend’s position was well taken and it was taken by someone who really deserved it and someone who I now really adored.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

The bubbliness is attractive, it is soothing, it gives everyone hope. But, the bubbliness in a person makes a person hungry for new experiences. And before you know it, someone new claims their attention. With that perception, a person like Tammy can hurt you in ways you can’t think of.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So there was this new guy in her team. They had to work together and while working as what happens with most of us young single professionals, they became good friends. Now, most of Tammy’s friends had become buddies of mine. I never felt anything when Tammy was hanging out with them and not with me. A couple of them even turned out to be my drinking buddies. But, not this guy. He was, how do describe it? He was lame. I know I’m being shallow and somewhat hurt by the concept of sharing Tammy’s attention with him. I know I’m being jealous. But that’s the stuff guys are made up of. People think girls are choosy in who they prefer being friends with, boys think girls have biased opinions, even girls think girls have biased opinions but boys are the most prejudiced breed of humans ever made. We can like or dislike a fellow being for no reason what-so-ever.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>

I don’t really know. Maybe I didn’t like his face, maybe I didn’t like his casual approach to people. Whatever! I disliked him. And Tammy seemed to like him- in my mind she had really started to really like him.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<br />

Plans? I thought Tammy and I shared all our plans.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<br />

The talks reduced, morning hellos were frequently skipped, late night chats were few. I started to give out an impression of ignoring her. My friends caught that, her friends caught that and so now I’m sure she might have gotten a hint of that.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>

She invited me to their dinners frequently and I was falling short of excuses. I wasn’t taking her calls anymore. Sometimes we would run into each other in corridors and the exchange of words that I would now call it, was extremely uncomfortable. </span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One afternoon - I clearly remember this one for some reason unknown, I was busily working on a document and furiously typing my review comments when Tammy walked by my desk like she usually did and stopped to say “Hi!”. I was very much involved in my work and furious/hurt/frustrated that I was for whatever reason that day,I said “Yes, What?”- may have even angrily shouted it.That did it. It broke something. I observed something in her eyes something I would never want to see in anyone I remotely care about. I saw in her turquoise eyes something shatter. And I felt it - instant grief at having hurt someone who had been all but good to me. The next moment I saw a hint of a tear. Did I mention that Tammy was intensely(I mean it) and emotionally strong? She started to walk away when reason took over me and I quickly said “Hey! I’m sorry. what’s up?” but I knew it before I said it - I had lost a friend. </span></span></div>

I had shown selfless respect,love and care for her once and now slowly but steadily, taken it all away.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I realized my mistakes-so many of them, and I sought to correct them but the vital truth that surfaces in such a situation is that a rediscovered person is never the same he was before. Everyone realizes that. I tried to make things right, apologized numerous times, seeked forgiveness for my stupidity and I think I achieved that but things were not so easy with Tammy anymore. I had managed to create an unbreakable wall. Even when we would sit on the highest cliff-top beside the farthest corner of the sea, the conversations I shared with Tammy lacked all eagerness. Maybe I was desperate to get back her attention and it wasn’t that she wasn’t trying. She sometimes went out of her ways to hang out with me, she would make up stupid stories from her past, narrate her present ongoings, talk about this and that but it didn’t really make sense. </span></span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tammy moved on. She went back to her hometown. The parting was awkward. We promised each other we’d always stay in touch but our experiences have taught us that usually never happens. We said our goodbyes and shook hands and she started walking away. I couldn’t resist. I had to hug her one last time before we meet again - of which I was extremely uncertain. So I ran to her imagining it to turn out into a cliched movie moment. But, it wasn’t. She turned. I saw tears. Maybe I had tears. I gave her a hug yes, a long one probably but I was too numb to feel anything. Then I walked away.</span></span></div>

Not that I’ve tried to stay in touch. Looking back I now know when it all went wrong with us. It was that afternoon. It was me who did it. The moment was not created out of sudden frustration but was actually the climax of a prolonged explosion churning inside me. Why did I become so hateful? I’ve always been a very practical person but still I could not control these alien feelings. Did she hurt me by just being herself? </span></span></div>

Everybody must read because books and ONLY books can teach character to you.<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Books that actually taught me something are listed i<span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">n chronological order pertaining to my life :</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Growing up, amidst Noddy and Pip, I managed to come across a senior year text book- Tom Brown's school days. What is gave me is hard to tell because like all 10 year olds, I was an impressionable kid. I'd like to believe that the book taught me about brotherhood, loyalty and the general sense of caring.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I was 13 when Harry was 11 years old but soon I'd started comparing my forehead scar to the famous lightning imprint on Harry Potter's face. Still rated by me as one of the most creative storytelling of all time, the series shaped my imagination, it helped me to dream big and take all that comes my way with steady humility.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">It was teacher's day celebration of 2004 when a classmate narrated to me the general concept of Middle Earth- of Sauron and the rings of power. Mr. Tolkein with his detailed elaboration called the Lord of The Rings made me want to read more and more and more. Reading LOTR was probably the toughest job I had undertaken(closely matched with reading Anna Karenina, Gone With the Wind and Atlas Shrugged) but when I saw the maps, the family trees, the different alphabets in the appendix of the book, I realized that 'Books are a proof that humans are capable of magic'.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Around me, everybody or everybody's parents including mine had framed a path for their lives. The path I took didn't feel right then and it doesn't feel right now but it doesn't matter as long as the path hasn't broken me enough to make me enjoy it. That's what I learnt from The Catcher in the Rye. The high school kid sick of the pretence filled society felt like my alter ego. His dream of going the un-dreamt way seemed what I would have wanted to do if I'd have given a thought.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I raced through The Kite Runner in ragging period. I don't know how to describe how I feel about this story. I seriously don't. All I know is that Sohrab and Hassan, I'd read this book- "For you, a thousand times over."</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">And then was Mr. Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird. I read the book and was amazed at my own maturity at respecting the character. Not many teenagers would appreciate Atticus' willingness to support outcasts. The day I'll be able to do something good for the world we live in, I would thank Harper Lee and Gregory Peck for creating/depicting Atticus Finch.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">It's a book that is hard to find and easy to miss in the book-stands but to me it was the best random book I ever picked. High Fidelity by Nick Hornby flamed my love for music, pushed me to pick up an instrument and also go ahead and explore new artists. The story was alright, the writing style was somewhat funny but it were the songs that lingered and the need to keep looking for the good ones has been imbibed for good.</span></li>

<br />
Every now and then you come across a book that takes you for a thrill ride with the centre-stage characters performing extraordinary tasks and meanwhile exhibiting inhumane calmness. These books binds their stories together with sudden but exciting happenings which make the reader want to finish them in one go. <br />
<br />
Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell is no such book. You may not be able to finish it in a couple of days but you’ll definitely keep its memory in your mind for a long time. The story revolves around one character at a time living in different timelines ranging from the under-developed seventeen hundreds to the post- apocalyptic world. Although the message is simple: development of the human race and its needs may lead to considerable destruction of the world we live in and also the world as we see it yet this is not the story which one would want to materialize by bringing out the morale. All characters in the novel are linked by a comet shaped scar on their shoulder blades and through one means or the other, are aware of their previous incarnation and their life stories. <br />
<br />
David Mitchell has romanced with the copybook ideals of novel writing but only in his other books. In this one, he has not stuck to one emotion. The theme of the plot is different for each character and each one of them somehow manages to lead to another. I love the way he breaks the story chain of one character and eases on to the next. We’ve all seen movies like Bable and Crash in which various stories are inter-twined but this one flows like a waterfall from one part to the other and then at the middle reverses its flow. <br />
<br />
This is a book that you’ve all glanced through in book shelves of random book stores but never given a consideration to. I dared to pick up this weirdly described, absurdly written novel and happened to love it. Cloud Atlas, I have to say is an astonishing, unconventional yet brave attempt on a revolutionary style of writing. <br />

Of Kings and Knights , brave steads black and white.<br />
<br />
A lovely queen, her followers both fair and handsome,<br />
A lonely farmer, his 3 cows sold for ransom.<br />
<br />
Secretly admire the queen, did the farmer,<br />
but knowing his stature , remained the calmer.<br />
<br />
One fine day when the sun was bright,<br />
rode the queen with her banner displaying her might.<br />
<br />
A young prince crossed her path, and O ! did he admire,<br />
the beauty of the queen and the propriety of her attire.<br />
<br />
Bent down on one knee did he declare his love for the pretty queen,<br />
The Queen- flattered by his guts but worried that he might be mean,<br />
Asked for his identity and his purpose,<br />
for wandering in her lands dressed like a bandmaster in the circus.<br />
<br />
-------------------------------<br />
<br />
I want to go on with this shit,<br />
but the alcohol has given me a serious hit.<br />
<br />
If I go on I might recite a legend, never heard or spoken of,<br />
but if I don't hit the bed now , tomorrow in the office , I'll be the red -eyed Rudolf.<br />
<br />
If I'm eight pegs down and I can still make it rhyme,<br />
then I think I'm too drunk and sure no reader would give me a dime.<br />
