Taking Kailash’s ashes to Kailash-Last and final Part3

We were about half way from Gaurmukh. It was evening and rather dark. It was a small town. We enquired mode of transport for Gaurmukh. There was none. We went to the ticket counter. This time we asked very politely if there was any train scheduled now for Gaurmukh. Yes, the train was scheduled in next half an hour. But the seat was not available. We had to go for Tatkal booking. The ticket was for Rs 800 each. We could not afford it since the wallet was stolen that…

Girlfriend waiting,bike keys left at home

I had to meet Neetu, my girlfriend today at 5.00 in the evening. I was excited as I had to propose her which was a surprise for her also. I woke up at 7.00 in the morning and shaved to look smart. I look 2-3 years older with beard and stubble on my long slim face and do not suit me as my complexion is dusky. I took bath and wore nicely ironed full sleeved white shirt with a pair of denim jeans. I chose black pair of polished shoes…
