The next century

Rishan is looking outside from his window. There is a storm outside. And the whole sky is red here. This is a strange planet. The whole sky is always red. And when those two moons come out in the night, then the planet seems like a grey sea. This planet is called Triton. It is the year 2567... now men are living in those planets. Because their old world is not fit for living anymore after a big nuclear war in the 22nd century..
Now there is a storm out side and also a storm inside Rishan's mind, he is thinking what Trisha just said sometimes ago," you are a coward.." He is thinking that.. Is he a coward? He closed his eyes and tries to think what he did all the life; yes he did not get any medal or anything like that.. He just tried to live a peaceful life. During every battle in his life he just surrenders without fighting. When he got any thing he has never tried to keep it. So everything in his life, he just lost to some one somehow. When he discovered the great theory of the fifth dimension, One of his friend stole it and claimed that in his own name. Rishan even did not try to protest, he just give up. Now his that friend is referred as one of the all time's greatest scientist. Rishan is still an unknown scientist. Nobody knows him. Now he is thinking why he is like this.....Is it in his nature? Or is he just afraid to win for uncertainty. Is he a coward? When Trisha came to his life he suddenly felt that something is happening in his heart, when he tried to see what it is... he was just surprised to see that is love. He is in love! He just loves her too much. The whole world became very beautiful to him like a sweet and melodious heaven....but he did not get the courage to tell her. Then suddenly knew that one of his friend also loves Trisha.... he thought Trisha would never love him instead of that friend.....he made a big decision. He decided to leave this planet and go to another planet..... he is ready now to go tomorrow. 
Suddenly Trisha came today. She asked him," why are you leaving Rishan? tell me why?" Rishan could not speak. She continued," I know you love me. it is written in your eyes. Then why dont you tell me? You think that I love your friend and hence you are running from me? did you?" Rishan was silent..... she shouted," You are a coward, you did not even try to know whom I really love. You did not even want to know how much I love you. Just wanna run from me? You are a coward, really a coward.you wanna run from me.....then run..... run away from my life.... you are a coward so just run away from me". She cried and went away from Rishan´s home.
Now there is a storm running in his mind.... that word,´coward´ is repeating in his head, suddenly he made a decision and stood up. That storm outside become so violent. It was not safe outside. Every moment thunderbolts were hitting the surface.No one was out. The whole sky became yellow and at that time Rishan comes out. 
He is walking through that storm and suddenly throw his arms to the sky and shouts, "No Trisha, I will not be a coward any more. This time I will fight for you. No matter if it is my last fight .... But I don't wanna lose this time. I will fight for you.." He then began to run in that storm shouting," I will not lose this time Trisha, I will not......" It seemed like a mad man running in the storm and even  thunderbolts could not harm him...
He is running ... running ..running to the uncertainty.....coz he does not wanna lose... ....anymore....

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISISM Oh...she was terrible! Her voice was too low and garbled, she did not look up, she was slouched in the chair and her knees were visibly shaking. I cannot believe her goal in life was to be a TV anchor woman. Of course, she was only 18 and this was only a Forensic competition. But, it was a District competition and the score I gave her determined if she would make it to the finals. I had put off doing my duty, as the parent of a speech team member, by being the judge for at least one Speech/Forensics competition. By procrastinating and waiting until the end of the year and judging the districts, little did I know that what I saw...what I heard and the score I gave them could affect the rest of their lives. As each student came in to be judged, I explained that, to me, they all deserved to get a (1)! (The perfect score) By the mere fact they were there, impressed the socks off of me. I cannot imagine getting up in front of my peers, or complete strange

How about the short stories

Dearest Jaanu , You are not here anymore and I have not seen you in almost a year. However, Valentine’s Day was always special to us. Now it is unforgettable. I was going through your stuff a few days back, after I finally found the strength to actually pack it up and I came across your diary – the diary you have addressed to me. Yet, you never told me about it. Your editorial instinct has filled it with neat marks and corrections on every page. I am just going to insert excerpts from it, because I am not capable of reproducing it with so much passion or detail. Dt. 14 January 2001 . “I stared teary-eyed at your crying form when I said I needed to leave. My bags are all packed and ready to go and the only question I cannot answer is “Why?” I do not want to answer that question. I have asked myself innumerable times in the last few hours and have not been able to justify anything that was going on. I am a logical woman, and usually good at what I do. As the editor for on

Mirror

                                  Mirror (PART-I)   She had just come home from school"Mummy, I need a new uniform," said Rani, inspecting herself  and was preparing to change. "Hmmmm," her mother peered over her glasses to look at her, and then returned to her needlework. "Actually, it is worn out at the pleats, and getting a bit small for me too." "OK, then let Saturday come and your Papa will get new fabric for you." A twinkle shone in Rani's eyes and she smiled happily. "Promise Mummy?" "Oh yes, dear! Now go and change into something more comfortable, and I shall give you some food."  Saying so, her mother gathered up her needlework and went into the kitchen. Rani too quickly changed and got ready to have her lunch. "Mummy, can I have a new blouse to match too?" asked Rani, munching on a mouthful. "Yes, I guess that will be necessary" replied her Mother. "Oh great! I just can't wa
