Day 17 of #TimeTravelAuthors

The bedside lamp of the room where Maya had appeared soaked the unfamiliar but elegant bedroom in an amber hue. With a sharp intake of breath, Maya sat up straight on the bed she had landed upon.

Something more about Chronolosis 😮‍💨 #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #TimeTravel
‘Okay, Maya, first please calm down. If you are a time traveller – and do it frequently without giving yourself time to heal and recover – you are prone to get Chronolosis. In common parlance, depletion of red blood cells. This can turn dangerous and quickly spiral out of control if you are not vaccinated. Right now I have given you one dose of it. But you have to get a few more shots if you are going to continue travelling through time.’

‘Yes, sir!’ Maya mock-saluted him, not wanting to give him any further reason to be entertained at her expense but loving his teasing smile all the same. Right in front of the crew, Nikhil placed his palm tenderly on Maya’s cheek and patted it gently, saying, ‘You are going to smash it!’

Oh, the ultramarine-blue saree! 💙 #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #AmWriting #TimeTravel #WritingCommunity
On one hand, she sensed an opportunity and on the other, she was burdened with the thought that her past self had noticed her. But curiosity won over, and Present-Maya sneaked into Anuj’s house where the party was going on in full swing. People were dancing to the beats of the day. Since she was dressed in the same saree as she had been during the original event, no one suspected anything odd.

Where are you, Vaqt? 🫨 #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #AmWriting #TimeTravel #WritingCommunity
‘Okay, okay, cool. As far as I remember, the colour of your handbag is mint green. It’s hanging over there.’ He pointed to a hook where a green-coloured bag hung. Maya had rummaged through that bag too, but Vaqt wasn’t there.

‘Daddy, that’s chaotic! You cannot suggest something like that. You’d be playing with Time and someone’s destiny. You cannot play God, no matter how tempting it is.’ ‘Yes, I can. And I will.’ Krishnamurthy grabbed Vaqt from the table before Maya could put it inside her handbag.

With just that, Maya needed no more prompting. She started narrating her experiences truthfully and with the unabashed excitement. As Maya went on and on about visiting her childhood, Jessica discreetly typed out a date on the screen in front of her – 08.11.2010.

‘Me too, Nikhil. I have been dying to tell all this and more to you. But being a woman, I felt I shouldn’t be chasing a man who might not be interested in me. As usual, the sense of propriety and a bit of ego prevented me from revealing my feelings to you. But the universe made you talk to me about what we are, today. The truth is out now. We belong to each other.’

Day 27 of #TimeTravelAuthors: A sentence from page 11

If Leela Krishnamurthy had gotten even an inkling of what was going to happen to her in a few hours, she’d have paused to cherish every sip of her cappuccino.

Woohoo! The apt word for my MC who is an actor 😍 #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity#TimeTravel
Maya’s first trip was to February 12th, 2016 – the day she first met Nikhil face-to-face, in her debut movie’s success meet. Her bones tingled with such longing that she decided her first time travel trip would be to that day, when she had breathed Nikhil’s scent for the first time after fangirling and crushing over him on social media.

Lapis Lazuli 🌌 #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #TimeTravel
After extensive research for suitable material, Jessica zeroed upon the crystal, Lapis Lazuli, which corresponded to the properties of Einstein’s general relativity theory. Experimenting with the different states of the gemstone, she refined her techniques to anchor its properties, fuelling the device with the necessary energy to operate.

A scene where my own grandpa has been fictionalised 😍❤️ #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #TimeTravel
The old man looked perplexed at the sudden disruption. He was even more startled as Maya’s outfit seemed odd for the period she was in. He looked around and observed that they were the only people on the road. He then looked at her once over in confusion before replying, ‘Sure, child. Just walk ahead in this direction and take the first right. Keep walking for two minutes, and you’ll see the temple to your right. But the temple will be closed at this time. Why do you want to go there now, ma?’ A tinge of concern crossed his face, despite his initial surprise at seeing her.

What do you all think about this? #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #TimeTravel
‘Hey, I’m genuinely curious. I think we should have the special people in our lives with whom we can discuss how sunrises, sunsets, and rainbows make us feel… the kind of people who will not think we are insane if we talk about all that passionately. Have you ever thought about this?’

Day 19 of #TimeTravelAuthors

‘Thank you, Maya. I’m sorry if I’m turning too emotional. I… I’m not like this usually. I don’t know why I feel like I could share anything and everything with you.’

Maya winced, feeling the deep sense of longing in Nikhil’s voice, too.

Day 17 of #TimeTravelAuthors: Does anyone read in my story?

Yes. Both Maya and Nikhil are bookworms in 'Bid Time a Goodbye', though it isn't very explicit in the story (there's a mention of the books they read in some flashback scenes).

Misogynists, stay away from my Maya Krishnamurthy 😎 #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #AmWriting #TimeTravel #WritingCommunity
‘Dangerous? Feminists are not dangerous, you dumbass. We are just normal human beings fighting for equal rights. People who have seen the inequality in society and decided to voice against it.’ ‘Men and women can never become equal,’ Anuj squared his shoulders obstinately. There! He was back. The one who she wanted to run far away from.

But Anuj infuriatingly still kept his cool. ‘Maya, we all progress by learning. I have learned this truth about you now. This relationship has been a lesson for me. I will not commit this same mistake again with any other woman I date.’ ‘But you are breaking my heart, Anuj. Do you even realise that?’ Maya asked, hating how her voice was becoming mellow.

What the pandemic gifted to celebs like Maya Krishnamurthy 🤭 #WIPSnips

#WritingCommunity #AmWriting #TimeTravel #WriteSky
When Maya left for her house, she promised that she’d visit them the next week, too. She then drove back to her house in her shiny Ferrari, glad to have a chance to drive it again. Since the pandemic was still on, she was relieved that paparazzi weren’t following her every move like they did previously.

Lapis Lazuli 💙 #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #TimeTravel
With the help of the liquefied Lapis Lazuli, she was able to build what she termed the final prototype. She had built a portable time machine that looked compact, but would spring into its full form once the power button was pressed. This was where she got stuck again, as the device simply refused to cooperate. Though she used copious amounts of Lapis Lazuli to supply the necessary energy boost, she just couldn’t make the device spring to its final form.

‘Arrrghhh, Nikhil! Why are you reminding me about him now?’ Maya hit his shoulder playfully, wanting to pull him closer to her instead and rest her head on his sturdy shoulder. Her fingers felt charged after they had touched his shirt. She quickly pulled away as she couldn’t bear the flood of longing she could feel.
