Hi all, this is my first attempt in writing a story. Please Read/Review!

Mudhan Mudhalaaga...

Gautham, who is currently on a flight to India from Frankfurt along with his friends, was deep in a train of thoughts. The discussions and the jokes played by his friends are now oblivious to him. He was in his own wave of memories.

Gautham is a tech lead in one of the leading software companies in India. He did Computer Science in BE in one of the colleges in Coimbatore. He got placed in his final year and even after 5+ years of experience, he is with the same company along with his friends. He is now returning to India after a stay of one year in Frankfurt.

He accepted this onsite trip just because he thought that he will be free of certain pains and memories in his life. 1 or 2 months after the arrival to Germany made him realize that these pains would never be gone and will continue to haunt him. His 3 friends with whom he sticked together right from the training days are also with him. When he was given the onsite offer he thought his onsite stay would also be miserable as he was supposed to go alone. He even thought of giving it up. But when his friends were also given the offer, he was relieved. He is now going back and has to face the environment that would bring back the painful memories. His parents and family were very happy when they heard that he is coming back, but he is afraid of what he will be facing.

<Flash Back>

Gautham is a guy with above-average looks. His family was small, but wealthy. His father is a business man and his mother a housewife. His father and mother were his first friends. He had one elder brother Rajesh who is 3 years elder than him. Rajesh is married to their cousin Rekha who was the only girl Gautham had talked to, in his school days. Right from the school days, he was not interested in girls. He always liked to spend time with his friends (only boys). Music and his favorite sport cricket are his interests.

His close friends used to chat with girls for hours through phones, but he was never interested. His friends always said that he will also become a chat-box when he goes to college. But he never did. Even in college, his time was with boys and gals spoke to him only if they had doubts in programming, as he was good in that. He only had two or three friends among gals and spoke less, even to them. His college mates tried to do some tricks and make him talk with gals and each time they tried, they failed miserably.

After he joined the company, he again sticked together only with boys and again had 2 or 3 gals in his batch as friends. His performance in his first project was good and he went to onsite within a year of joining and stayed there for 2 years, later joined by his friends. Once he and his friends came back from onsite they were moved together to another project as module leads. He was lucky that he always had his friends with him which was less possible in software companies. He would have never dreamt that the new project will be the place where his world would turn upside-down.....
