Déjà vu-a short story
Wikipedia-
Déjà vu
, also called
paramnesia,
is the experience of feeling sure thatone has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (an individual feels asthough an event has already happened or has happened in the near past), althoughthe exact circumstances of the previous encounter are uncertain., déjà vu is usuallyaccompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eeriness,""strangeness," or "weirdness." The "previous" experience is most frequentlyattributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that theexperience "genuinely happened" in the past.
“Its Déjà vu”, Sharad said.“What?” I asked. It was 3:30 in the morning and we had just retired to bed, the nightoutside was silent and still, the room was dark and I was lying on the left of the bed, theside I always slept on. It had been this way for the past 8 months ever since I’d moved inwith Sharad.“What’s new?” I asked again when he stayed quiet. A month full of exams can be nervewracking for anyone. Well, it had been for me. It’ll probably be weeks before the websthat Maxwell, Castigliano and Reynolds had weaved around my head would clear.“This, this moment, dark moonless night, you tapping away on your cell phone, mychecking the time, it’s almost as if something is going to happen.”I looked down at my hands, or rather at the place I thought my hands were, I could onlysee the LCD of my mobile blinking, I’d been in the middle of sending a message, whichwas pretty normal ,I sent about 60 messages a day.It was then that the feeling struck me. I’d been here before too, this moment, thisconversation, and “sending message” flashing on my mobile, and it was as strong a déjàvu as any I’d ever had before. Thousands of sparks flew in my mind as one pictureclashed with another and I rapidly searched for an answer…
where had this happened? How did it come about? , and what happened next?
I searched deep, and then realizedthat the answer did not exist. It was something I thought had happened in the past, ithadn’t actually happened, or was it like; I had imagined this happening in my future, myfuture in my past, had I imagined my future into existence? this was getting confusing.I considered for a moment getting up, switching on the computer and looking up déjà vuon Wikipedia.
‘chill dude, you’ll have all the time in the world tomorrow’ 
, I told myself.’
