Finders, Keepers - Short Story 2

Some parts of this story is real...the episode of the 100 rupee note is...and so is the fact that my husband and I found each other during our first at at post grad, not in so dramatic a way as is in this story.

I think I am going writing a collection of 6 to 10 stories under the title "Destiny Decides"...so guys wish me luck.

Please be frank about the language and the style, so that I can improve. Feel free to criticize or shred to bits if you find anything seriously wrong with it and with my 1st story Hope Diamond.

Finders, Keepers

My first Short Story

This is the first time I am writing prose. And it has turned out to be a rather long short story.


I got the first line in my head 3 days ago and I pulled out my golden diary to jot down my sentence. To my surprise, within minutes I was writing out  the story and character sketch. It took an hour for the story to extend itself...yes, I swear it did...all by itself!


I hope its readers will help me with criticism. I do need it to improve with the editing and maybe with the extension of some scenes.
