It had been a busy week. Meera, five years old in the elearning industry had taken the big career leap. After passing the multiple rounds of interview, she had been accepted for the position of a senior technical writer. The new company was one of pioneers in the elearning industry and Meera was excited to start a new chapter of her career. She had found an apartment in a neighborhood close to the office. Today she would move in with a couple of bags and planned to set up the place over the weekend. After spending all those years in a hostel, sharing rooms, she was thrilled beyond words at having a place for herself.
After doing a final check on the Tasks for the Day list at her desk, she decided to call it a day. The cab took a left turn at 15th Cross street. It was little off from the main road and gave a deserted look except for a dog who kept running from one end of the street to the other. She had quickly grown fond of the place with its quiet surroundings and tall dark trees; the apartment had an open balcony that looked over to the East. She could picture herself curled up in her favorite chair with her copy of Wuthering Heights sipping tea from her purple Powerpuff Girls cup. She had found her corner in this world.
She unlocked the door and stepped into her new home.
I love Powerpuff Girls. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIs this a personal anecdote?
Yes C.D. I am curious as to how you derived at that :) The post is definitely inspired by my experiences.
DeleteI love picturing the scene of a girl curled up in her favorite chair with her copy of Wuthering Heights sipping tea. That could be me. I would have a copy of Pride and Prejudice though.

Yeah I bet there is a girl in all of our selves who is an ardent Victorian novel fan when it comes to a choice of books. And why not when we have men like Heathcliff and Mr.Darcy to swoon over :)
DeleteI liked the visuals on this. You did a good job with detail, but not too much. I liked imagining her curled up in her fav chair and could see the swirl of vapor over her tea cup. Lovely! Thanks for sharing and good luck with the A to Z! Lisa, co-host AtoZ2015, @ lisabuiecollard.com
ReplyDeleteThat part of the post is my personal favorite. Wuthering Heights is of course my first choice for a book any day. Thank you so much for visiting my blog, Lisa! Good luck with the A to Z challenge :)
