Welcome...?

To put it simply, this is a novel pretending to be a blog. Or was it the other way around? Doesn't matter. What does matter is the fact that this is one story narrated from the points of view of multiple characters and written by two authors - Mann Maheshwari and Sahil Khamosh, both writing alternate chapters.
Mann Maheshwari has written all the chapters with odd numbers and Sahil Khamosh has written the chapters with even numbers. So if you come across a particularly boring chapter make sure you curse the right person. 
We like to pretend that we dont know each other and are writing this story without any sort of external collaboration. We conveniently ignore the fact that we meet almost everyday and chat on a regular basis.
Finally, you are welcome. We know how grateful you are for having been presented with the opportunity to read such great works. You are hereby in our eternal debt.

Ahem...

Mann Maheshwari and Sahil Khamosh watched as Ansh left the dining hall.

“He’s a smart one, that boy,” said Sahil stretching his legs like a cat.

“Not half as smart as the foreigner,” said Mann returning his dreamy gaze to the ceiling.

Sahil watched Ashi who was now arguing with the manager.

“And that one, his twin sister. Strong stuff. Mind  if I try to strike a conversation with her?”

Mann looked at Sahil and said firmly, “Yes, I do. No active participation. We remain passive observers. That’s how it works.”

“Ok ok…so, you think we have a story here?”

“Oh yes, but something tells me that all the players have yet to reveal themselves.”

“Fine, let me know when they do,” said Sahil closing his eyes once again.

Mann frowned.

“Why do you sleep so much?”

Sahil smiled.

“I don’t sleep, I contemplate.”

Mann rolled his eyes and grinned as Sahil began snoring a few seconds later.
