Soapy Sid crouched in the bushes opposite the house with the post-box. He was waiting for his partner in crime Snoopy Sam. The owners of the house had gone on a vacation. He fidgeted impatiently. What was delaying Snoopy? There was no one in the street and the house appeared empty. This would be the right time to burgle the house.

Seven Year Itch
Seven Year Itch
The year was 2033 AD. Professor Heidi Heisenberg stepped out of her time transporter in disgust. She still found herself in 2033 when she had expected to step out in 2040 AD. Nothing had changed. She had spent the seven best years of her life on research to continue where Einstein had left off.
Her seven year itch she called it. Her dream of developing a machine

‘Can I appear on television just once?’ I asked Mom.
‘No dear, you are too young for the camera,’ said Mom.
I made a face and said, ‘Well, I don’t see why I can’t. Aren’t
they interested in
children at all?’
Mom sighed and said, ‘We allow only experienced people to
participate in television programs. And the council may not agree.’

The year was 2046 AD. Nobel Laureate Professor Harrington Rutherford sat in his lab staring at the prototype of the humanoid he had created. He had modelled the humanoid on the male homo-sapiens. It had all the characteristics of a human male including the capacity to mate. He had named the humanoid Romeo. The last few days, the news stations around the world had been

Four Corners of the World
Eckhart Tomlinson the owner of the multi-billion-dollar Tomlinson Broadcasting Service looked at the globe resting on his table in puzzlement. He always prided himself that his agency was the first to get the news from the four corners of the world. He kept track of everything that was going on in the world of news. The globe on his desk was a scientific marvel

Three's a Crowd
Mat and Hans sat in the back of the closed van which carried the trunk-full of cash to be dispensed at automatic teller machines all over the city. They were on the outskirts of the city, three kilometers away from the bridge that led to the city gates.
Mat blew a puff of smoke into the air from his cigarette and said, ‘This van is too small for us. Three’s a crowd. Two

Commander Wilhelm Maritz looked apprehensively at the huge ball of fire staring at him from the computer screen. His submarine was 500 feet below sea-level and this object seemed to be at a depth of 2000 feet. He was intrigued. The object looked exactly like the setting sun seen in the deserts of Arizona. The only difference was it was shining from the depths of the

I don't know about other people but one of my favorite pastimes as a child used to be day-dreaming. Till my 4th grade, I studied in a convent school in Chennai, the erstwhile Madras. Those days our family used to live as two establishments since my mother was a state government employee and worked in Madras. My father was posted in New Delhi and we were

Zak looked at the redhead seated opposite him and marveled at her thirst for alcohol. She had been consuming whiskey ever since they had arrived at the club. This was their first date.
‘Rita, do stop drinking,’ Zak said with concern. ‘That is the 4th glass of whiskey you have had. Even three is one too many.’
‘You want me sober for bed isn’t it?’ asked Rita.
