My Cubicle Lovestory

These 3 guys spent the whole day together in that cubicle. They shared the same desk and hung out together most of the time. Although they had arrived from different places and at different points of time, but now they were comrades, The best buds that ever were. They were from different races and their skin color was different.  One had squinty eyes, other rectangular evenly spaced eyes and the third. My oh My The Third..  If you only can look at his eyes, you would be mesmerized and be awestruck by the beauty, the symmetry, the uniqueness in those eyes. They held in them a secret which only one who has spent a lot of time with the third could comprehend. Then one day SHE arrived at their desk, and it changed everything. She had skin as fair as the maidens of lore, a skin so smooth that you would not be able to control yourself from not touching her. And when you did get to touch her, your hands would slip and slide on that smooth screen.  But behind this out...

Am I a Professional Writer ?

Its been almost 5 months since I last wrote something here. That doesnt mean that I have not been doing any writing at all. You would be happy to know that I write on a regular basis and get paid for it. People who publish my writings get paid even more then me. Wait a minute, Did I quit my job in the past 5 months and become a full time writer ? Have some of my books been published, so that I am making money for myself and others ? Well, as tempting as that sounds to the amateur writer in me, sadly thats not true. I am still doing what I did last. Then why am I suddenly talking as if I am in contention for winning the next Pulitzer Prize ? One fine day, couple of months ago when I was in my office at my desk, banging at the keys of a computer, staring at a screen much like this one. An idea suddenly crept up in mind. " How would I define a Professional Writer in Layman's Terms ? " Out of habit I hit windows+r (Yes, this linux lover uses windows at work) , typed ...
