Chapter 1 Before The Begining

• Vasu perceived that he was dead, when he saw his own body lying on the bed and a
• high jet of energy escaping from his inner core challenging his mortal existence. He did survive the combat.....The Death Combat, but his presence in the world of mortals was unwelcomed.
• Though he returned, he was left with a series of unsolved riddles; his reputation, his
• career, his ego........all was at stake. This was what he believed, but destiny
• had a different program, a cosmic blue print for Vasu. In the cosmic
• encounter, he felt prey to his self-hypnotized resolutions and unknowingly
• geared a giant leap into the future.
• He never knew, he duplicated his soul, in short, an empyrean cloning of his energy,
• which got trapped in a SKULL THUMB RING in the form of an electromagnetic
• field. To free himself from all his worldly attachments, he detached himself from all his
• possessions, some were robbed, some snatched and some stolen. He didn’t know
• and accepted everything as apart of his cosmic voyage.
• Vastav felt a warm sensation in his pocket. He put his hand and took out the skull thumb
• ring . Holding the ring with both his palms, he looked at it deeply hoping to
• get strength and courage for returning to his destination. But a strong current
• flowed out from the ring, struck his eyes and Vasu’s hope of remaining awake
• crept into the deeper level of darkness. The Skull Thumb Ring slipped from his
• hands and rolled into a dark corner of the Railway Compartment.
• In his three
• days trial, Vasu’s energy level tossed between different realms and made him
• believe that a parallel world does really exist.
• Nobody ever
• wondered a high source of energy lied dormant in the corner of a Railway
• Compartment. Even Vastav didn’t know why he boarded the Rajdhani Express
• whereas he should be in Kalongpar Express. His destination was Nagaon, not New
• Delhi.
• Vastav had
• to leave the station to escape from the ravage of death and his fate succeeded
• in bringing him out of the metallic area.
• Destiny and
• fate cannot be separated. It was Vasu’s faith in the Unknown which was destined
• for his existence. His life which was at stake came home finally after the
• storm was over.
• Vasu totally
• lost in a different world, was lying in the bed with deep marks on the face,
• body and visible part of the psyche. His outlook was enough for anyone to
• realize what pain he had undergone these days of trail. But some higher power
• was governing Vasu’s present energy field, his parents and his sister. Nobody
• enquired........ What happened?
• Either they
• realized what happened or couldn’t make out what happened.
• Vastav now
• have lots of free time which became almost impossible to pass. He even forgot
• the spiritual encounter which he had in Guwahati. The near death experience,
• the out of the body experience all seemed an unsolved riddle.
• He shuffled
• all the books and magazines in his book shelf.
• Suddenly a
• magazine caught his attention.......
• “THE CORPORATE PAATHSAALA”
• He turned
• the pages randomly ad stopped on seeing a photograph.
• “I forgot
• her name, but her unconstrained wild short temper can never be forgotten. She
• was the best in all aspects. I wonder why she always competed with me. After
• all she was totally alien for me.
• It becomes
• easier sometimes to recall the golden past when the present is despairing and
• vague. Vasu became nostalgic when he turned the pages of the College Magazine.
• “Where is
• she now, as per my calculations she must have completed her Masters if she
• continued so.
• Yes, I
• remembered, she is Sanchita, one of the best students of my college....
• but, her
• attitude .......Oh My God!!”
