Acknowledgments

This book would have not been into prints without the encouragement from my colleagues in Infosys and Wipro; Infosys planted a dream seed in my heart and Wipro watered it, and today my dream is breathing and living, it is a reality. I want to thank you all; it’s because of you that I could realize this. You who read my write ups and encouraged me, filled my eyes with a dream, I would have never known that my writings interest people. Without your word of praise which persuaded me to dream, to see, my name on a books cover page. If I start naming I may fall short of space but you know your name is in this list.

A dream never realizes in dreams! We need to work hard for it; I would like to thank my loving husband for being with me in every step of bringing this dream of mine to life and for standing by my side in tough time. It took long to achieve this but I now know the wait was worth.

A special mention for designers of the book cover,

Front Cover By: Deepak Vimal.

Back Cover By: Abhilash Meher.

I hope you love reading this story

as much as I loved writing it!

Prologue

Have you ever got a call from a wrong number? I know the answer is yes, but have your missed something very important because of this call, a call from an unknown person and you miss the most awaited moment of your life?

How many times in a day do you get a call from a wrong number, may be once in a day or once in a week but what if you get call from a wrong number several times? Will you be irritated? How many times can you tell someone that it is a wrong number that they have dialed? You talk to the unknown person politely! You don’t know why? Should we call it destiny—may be. You are destined to talk to the person, what if the other person sounds interesting, you engage in talks with him and slowly you become phone friend, and what if you take this relation ahead and fall in love with him, falling in love with someone you haven’t met? Haven’t seen? Do you feel the excitement of knowing more about such person, excitement to meet this new love?

This story is of Tanvi who attends a call from Wrong number just like you and I would do and this one call changes her whole life for a lifetime. Was answering this wrong number a right decision? Explore the answer as you read through her story.

Chap 1

Day at Adlabs

"Avani, let’s go it’s getting late; I don’t want to miss the start, how much time you are taking to get ready?" called out Tanvi, as she put on her earrings.

Yes Ma’am I’m done, let’s go, I’m so excited. Chalo chalo lets move else we will get late, rushed Avani, picking up the keys. Both of them locked the flat and ran through the stairs not wanting to waste time for lift. Tanvi took scooty keys from Avani and they started for Adlabs.

Avani was a shy, homely, reserved—typical Maharashtrian girl, she was so much dependent on her parents when she was in school that her parents were much tensed to send her to Pune for education, where she was supposed to live in hostel and continue her studies. But their tension was a matter of few days as here she found Tanvi who was from Kerala, an independent girl determined to leave her footprints in this world by her work even after she was gone, Avani mirrored her thoughts and they both never left a chance to enjoy life. After meeting Tanvi, Avani’s parents were relaxed that their daughter has found a good friend who was independent and could take care of herself. Avani got attached to Tanvi emotionally very soon as Tanvi had replaced her parents in those years, Avani would consult her for everything. They slowly started depending on each other. Live for today that was the mantra that they followed and they both were there for each other at time of need. They had been roommates since 1st year of engineering and they both were thankful for the college hostel for gifting them such a wonderful friend. Since then they had been together always. Avani being very much attached and dependent on her
