Thanks for the opportunity, I am Vikas Khair, I am posting an excerpt from my latest book that is a collection of short stories called Moments - Few Tales in Time

-----------------------------

He was heartbroken, he was defeated. He had no one in his life now - no motive, no goal, no chance for success. Why it was only yesterday when he was sure that he will be promoted to the Assistant Manager position in his company but even that went to his junior.

He earnestly believed that he deserved that position after all, who would not, after dedicating their life to the company and the work. He used to invest 14-16 hours a day for the last 5 years in the office because he wanted to work his best and reach where he wanted to by sheer hard work, but he was defeated by office politics.

Broken he decided it was time to pull the plug from this soap opera called Life. After thinking for some time, he decided to hang himself as all the other ways were too messy and he did not want to cause much trouble to other strangers as some children may see him. So, after all the deliberation he started with the preparations.

Along came the rope from a long-forgotten corner of his tiny room, and there it went around the fan so that it could handle his weight and wouldn't come down not his head making all the more mess and would even leave him dead just some nasty injury.

Well, all the funny bits ahead he was in different states, sobbing one minute and chuckling the next, he was almost like a madman but in this case, he was IIM bred MBA Madman.

With very heavy feet he worked his way towards the rope to finish his story. Just as he put the deadly rope around his neck, bloody mobile rang disturbing the Zen-like state of his room. Although his first instinct was to let go of the call and complete the journey to the next world. But then he thought that there is no harm in looking at who the call is from. Tentatively he got down from the chair and walked to his cell phone still blaring 'Unbreak my heart, the call was from his company's HR department.

Now he was very angry but controlling his instincts to throw and break the mobile phone into hundreds of small pieces, he pressed the call accept button - Hello he said slowly.

'Congratulations' came the reply from the other side.
