‘Hear what?’ she modestly asked. ‘The theme of Dil To Pagal Hai,’ he answered smiling. That was totally out of the blue for Tanya. She looked dumbfounded. ‘Even I am confused Doctor, usually it’s a different song when you are around.’ She was obviously not buying any of it. ‘Are you out of your mind?’ …
After finishing their food and hearty conversations, Luv asked if coffee would be fine. She agreed and soon came the coffee. ‘Isn’t that too much sugar,’ the Doctor in her questioned his non-stop-sugar-pouring in his coffee. ‘Life mein bahut kadwahat hai Doctor sahiba, cheeni zyada rakho.’ Tanya wasn’t sure if she understood that line. After …
She responded to both their messages with an ‘okay’ and a smiley. She had taken the decision. She would be going. Cut to 12:30. Tanya was waiting in Westin’s elevator lobby. The large opulent mirror to her right complimented her maroon dress perfectly paired with the same shade on her lips. She reached the 6th …
‘Alarm Clock1’ woke both of them up in the morning. Urvashi groaned how she hated the alarm tone. Tanya decided to finally change it. She fiddled with her phone for some time before changing the tone to ‘spring’. It felt like a new start. Both of them soon went off to their work. It was another …
‘I feel you don’t want to make this work anymore.’ ‘What are YOU doing to make this work Parag?’ she asked petulantly. She knew she had every right to question. ‘If it has come down to keeping count on who is doing what then I guess there is no point taking this relationship forward,’ he …
Parag’s call woke her up next morning. ‘How are you Tani? Listen, I know I am rushing this and I am sorry for it but I need to tell my parents about us today,’ Parag sounded unusually uncomfortable. ‘I never held you back from telling your parents about us but how come all of a …
Her heart skipped a beat. Before she could comprehend the situation, Luv whisked out of the bathroom. ‘Surprise!’ Tanya realized how it was a hospital and her patient wouldn’t be discharged without her knowledge. In an attempt to control her expressions and not pass on the tiniest hint of a smile, she came up with …
It was obvious that Luv was love-struck. Most of his day was spent stalking all of Tanya’s social media profiles. He was bowled over by everything from her wavy curls that loosely fell on her face to her warm touch, from her big kohled eyes to the way she spoke. He had already raved about …
Later in the evening her last patient, before she could sign off for the day, was the newly admitted Luv. She reached the hospital and walked into the ICU hoping she would stay sane. She was taken aback! A few colorful balloons were lying on the floor. A big bouquet of red roses stood beside …
As she spoke to the Nurse in her usual medical language, he gathered some courage to speak up. ‘Doctor, I am sorry for my behavior. I got too nervous at the sight of the ICU. It is my first time in a hospital, I hope you don’t mind.’ If there’s one thing that mellowed Tanya …
It was morning already. She headed to the hospital and, as fate would have it, was immediately called to the Intensive Care Unit. It was the usual drill for the Doctor as she performed the initial checks on this young man. Although he didn’t fit into her definition of a ‘man’. ‘Nurse, I need to …
She has been avoiding the topic of marriage with her own parents for forever now. She couldn’t believe Parag wanted her to make up her mind so that he can be at peace with his family. ‘So that’s the real reason why you have been pushing for an answer all these days?’ she was rightly …
