Triveni wakes up in a hospital bed with no memories of her previous life. On talking to the doctor , she realises that she had been a coma patient there for 6 whole months . And also that a person's life is not as priceless as people claim it to be -cue , the enormous price of the hospital bills. And who paid the huge price for her? A brother she could not remember - who seemed to be heavily diassapointed in her for some reason . But no one seems to want to tell her the why she had been admitted in the first place... Now in debt , her brother leaves for Banglore in search of work , while dropping Triveni off at a small hall- kitchen apartment in Mumbai, which seems more than familiar. The days pass by learning things for her survival - cooking, traversing to nearby stores , navigating the town , until she meets Kusha and Lailita , two girls her same age who claim to be her childhood friends. As Triveni begins to uncover her past along with them ,she realises it was not what she had expected.... And the apartment is strange . The nights seem twice as long , and Triveni can't sleep a bit. Buzzing sounds , echoing voices calling out her name, someone crying silently, harsh shouts, amidst the unusually quiet nights of the city. And the apartment takes her to places - ones she never wanted to visit.. There's also an old cell phone she found in the table's drawer the day she moved in , which she can't switch on. And she knows somehow - that it contains all the things she needs to know about her past...

  • My Life: Feeling of Love [Completed]

It started on a Monday. I don't know what happened after that. I started off normal. I was still normal, wasn't I? I don't know, I just don't know. I was happy, I should be happy, but I'm not. Maybe I am? It's like there's a blackness in my mind, and I've covered it with yellow. I hate the colour yellow, but it's what I am. It's all I am now. My friends were laughing, I was laughing, but it didn't feel like it. My face felt tight as I stretched into a smile, yet it fooled them. I shouted with them, tears coming to my eyes. They laughed harder at that, everyone crying out my name, pointing at me, tears coming to their own eyes. The hole in my heart widened. I didn't know whether they were tears of sadness or happiness. Everyone was rocking back and forth, and slowly, they seemed to form into looming monsters, with wide eyes and pale faces. We stood up, hearing the bell. The sun hurt my eyes. I ran after them, shouting with them. I was loud, too loud. My own voice hurt my head. I didn't want the attention on me, so I dragged it to my fake self; my mask. I hated myself, and what I was doing. I had walked off again. I'm not sure why, but as I blinked, my feet decided that we were not going that way. I ignored them, and they thought it was a joke. They screamed my name, startling me, making me sprint over to them. I hadn't realised how far I had really wondered off. I joined my group, only to wish I had kept walking. They were laughing again, their laughter hurting my head. It shattered my thoughts, echoed around my head, deafened any emotions. I shrieked with them. We were like monkeys, chattering together. Maybe not; we were too dangerous for that. Monsters. Pale, looming monsters. (Updates everyday day!!!) (Oh, and the picture on the title page doesn't belong to me!!!
