Just Google It - How to Fix Your Life in 5 Easy Steps - Part 1

 The problem started at 2:13 a.m.

Not the big problem.
That one had been building for years.

This one was smaller. Simpler. More dangerous.

It started with a search.

Riya stared at her phone, face glowing in the dark like she had just discovered the meaning of life.

Search: “Why does my life feel like a mess?”

She scrolled.

Skipped ads. Ignored anything longer than 5 minutes.

Then she found it.

✨ “How to Fix Your Life in 5 Easy Steps”

Her eyes widened.

“Five steps?” she whispered. “That’s it? That’s all it takes?!”

She sat up.

This was it.
The moment everything changes.

Step 1: Wake Up Early 🌅

“Successful people wake up at 5 a.m.”

Riya nodded seriously.

“Correct. Makes sense. I will also wake up at 5 a.m. from tomorrow.”

She set six alarms:

  • 5:00 – Wake up and shine
  • 5:05 – No seriously, wake up
  • 5:10 – THIS IS YOUR LIFE
  • 5:15 – Don’t ruin your future
  • 5:20 – Last warning
  • 5:30 – Okay, now panic

Satisfied, she placed the phone beside her.

“New life begins tomorrow,” she declared… and immediately opened another tab.

Step 2: Be Confident 💃

Search: “How to be confident instantly”

She clicked the first result.

  • Stand straight
  • Maintain eye contact
  • Speak clearly
  • Believe in yourself

Riya stood up.

Shoulders back. Chin up.

“Hello, I am a confident person,” she said to the mirror.

Her reflection stared back like it had concerns.

She tried again.

“HELLO. I. AM. CONFIDENT.”

Her mom knocked on the door.

“Why are you shouting at 2:30 in the night?!”

Riya froze.

Confidence left the chat.

Step 3: Plan Your Day 📋

“Write down your goals.”

Riya grabbed a notebook.

At the top, she wrote:

✨ My New Life Plan ✨

  • Wake up at 5 a.m.
  • Exercise
  • Eat healthy
  • Be confident
  • Impress boss
  • Become successful
  • Be happy always

She paused.

“Wow,” she said. “This is… very easy.”

Step 4: Sleep Early 😴

She checked the time.

3:07 a.m.

“…Okay, from tomorrow.”

Step 5: Believe in the Process 🌟

Riya smiled.

“This is it. I have officially fixed my life.”

She turned off the lights, closed her eyes, and whispered,

“Thank you, Google.”

The Next Morning

At 5:00 a.m., the first alarm rang.

Riya opened one eye.

“Too early for success,” she murmured, and went back to sleep.

At 5:05 a.m.—dismissed.
At 5:10 a.m.—ignored.
At 5:15 a.m.—accidentally thrown across the bed.
At 5:30 a.m.—silence.

At 9:47 a.m., she woke up in panic.

“OH MY GOD I’M LATE!”

She jumped out of bed, tripped on her own blanket, and fell.

Face first.

On the floor.

She lay there for a moment.

Then slowly reached for her phone.

Search:
“How to wake up early successfully (even if you failed before)”

She sighed.

“Okay… maybe just one more try.”

And just like that,
her new life… restarted.

Behind the Lit Windows - Learning Each Other Again - Part 14

 Standing in front of each other felt… unfamiliar. Not because they were strangers. But because they weren’t anymore. The hallway was quiet. Too quiet for two people who had said so much… and now didn’t know where to begin. Arun shifted slightly, his hands unsure of where to rest. “So…” he started, then stopped. Sana let out a small breath. A faint smile touched her lips. “Yeah… so .” They both almost laughed. Almost. It was strange. Behind a screen, words had flowed effortlessly. Here— every word felt like it carried weight. “You’re quieter in real life,” Sana said gently. Arun nodded. “And you’re… more real.” The moment lingered. Not awkward. Just… honest. A soft sound echoed from a nearby apartment—utensils, a door closing, life continuing as usual. But for them… time had slowed. Sana leaned lightly against the wall. “I kept thinking… what if this ruins everything?” she admitted. Arun didn’t interrupt. He understood that feeling too well. ...

The Rose Behind the Verdict - The Man in the Blue Scarf - Part 6

 Dev Bishan stood beneath the dripping archway of the rear courtyard as though he had entered a stage rather than a crime scene. He was handsome in the practiced manner of men who knew mirrors well—trim beard, tailored coat, rain on polished shoes, and the blue scarf now tied casually at his throat. His smile suggested confidence; his eyes suggested calculation. “You vanish all day,” said Arindam, “and reappear precisely when discovered. Efficient timing.” Dev laughed softly. “I might say the same of detectives.” He stepped forward and offered his hand. Arindam did not take it. “Where were you since noon?” “In the city.” “Doing what?” “Protecting my family.” “That answer contains no facts.” “It contains enough.” Arindam drew the silver cufflink from his pocket. “This was found beside the torn portrait of your uncle.” Dev glanced at it, unimpressed. “I lost it yesterday.” “How convenient.” “I prefer inevitable.” Rain tapped the stone between them. From an upper wi...

Where the Sunrise Waited - The Secret Plan - Part 5

 The Secret Plan  The hill town slowly began to quiet down as afternoon sunlight softened the busy streets. Tourists wandered through the small market. Children chased each other near the town square. The mountains around the town looked peaceful again, as if nothing mysterious had ever existed there. But inside a small souvenir shop, two people were whispering like conspirators. Kabir and Riya. Dev stood a few feet away pretending not to be involved. “This is a bad idea,” he said without looking at them. Kabir waved his hand dismissively. “Relax. It’s just harmless fun.” Riya nodded enthusiastically. “Exactly. Just a tiny experiment.” Dev sighed. “I already regret being here.” Kabir leaned closer to Riya and lowered his voice. “Step one,” he whispered, “we make them accidentally walk together tomorrow.” Riya grinned. “That’s easy.” “Step two,” Kabir continued, “we disappear for a while.” Dev stared at them. “You two are insane.” Across the market street, ...
