Me to yeh padh ke andar se pagla gaya. Andhere me har koi hema malini. Mene usko ek smile aur di taki wo meri wish samajh sake. Mene firs eek msg type...kiya aur usko dikhaya, ‘can I have your number?’ usnne apna number type karke mujhe dikhaya. Mene number apne mobile me save kar liya. Uska number whatsapp pe sync ho gaya. Mene turant usko msg kiya whatsapp me, ‘ he its me, on your right side?’ fir humari chatting pe baate suru ho gayi. Like casual talkings.Uska naam pallavi tha, wo waha.

Richards," she commented, running a finger across the top of the name plate that sat on my desk. A long slender finger, hot pink nail polish chipped carelessly. "What's the J stand for?"
