So, I just disappeared after making a debut. However, I am back now. I kept thinking and thinking as to what shall be my first post like. Thanks to weather, I could finally think of what to pen down.
Here it goes….
Long ago there was a dame, naïve, sweet and simple. For the first time she got this ‘real’ exposure to the outside world. She had just completed schooling and took admission in a fine college. The days spent there were quite memorable and taught her a few lessons of life. Here’s a glimpse of something special she experienced.
BACKDROP
The initial days of college included crowded classrooms, with not-so-good infrastructure (Not every DU college has good infrastructure), girls and boys trying to be wannabe’s. Fashion followers, even fashion victims.. in all DISASTER.
Though Ragging was a big NO, seniors made sure that no fuchcha evades the introductory or so called Ice breaking session.. Chawani- atthani , introductions in pure Hindi, singing, dancing, proposals, reading a pervert text in hindi (This was specially for the ‘chicks’ and BTW literature has diverse topics and sex being one of them, a text from a book was asked to be read out aloud in hindi by these ‘chicks’) and so went on for the first week. That was all fun. However, when the ragging session was over, came the session of Lecturers. Seniors educated the fuchchas about the faculty, who were good and bad etc. One of the faculty was majorly discussed among senior girls. According to almost all the girls in college, he was a HEARTHROB. Including fellow female faculties almost all the gals/women in college were crazy about him.
Lectures started, almost all the faculties were introduced. Days passed, but the allurer had not yet taken a lecture.
FIRST LOOK
Wednesday, 2nd week of August probably, bright sunny day, the girl was sitting at the corner seat, alone, watching the clear sky and birds outside the window. Just when she was admiring the beauty of nature, appeared a face, which was very pleasing, dressed in formals, a very charming personality.. He took her heart away. She kept staring at him.. Suddenly, he went out of sight. She wanted to catch another glimpse of him but he had disappeared.
There was lot of noise in the classroom since there was no faculty. Just then the door opened, the alluler came in. All stood up and sang ‘Good Afternoon, Sir’!! He smiled, (By Jove! He had a killing smile) asked all of them to take their respective seat. The girl was dazzled, that this man is their faculty. So here was the one who was the most famous among all women. He indeed had a very mesmerizing personality. Average height, almost 5’8’’, fair complexion, average built, beautiful hands (yes, this man had beautiful hands) and a killing smile on his face. He did not appear to be somebody very ‘handsome’. But there was something about him.. The aura.. And then he spoke.. The content didn’t matter, only the voice, which touched many hearts and ‘the girl’ was one of the victims. Right then she decided – ‘he is the one I would want to marry’. She fell for him(according to her). For the first time, the thought of marriage struck her . Or I shall put it like this, that for the first time she realized the kind of man she would want to be with forever. However, she kept staring at him with a smile in her heart and a dream to be with this man. The dream of marrying was shattered when she came to know he was already married. But she made a deal with God, to marry him in her next life!
Days passed, weeks went by and many months, and she kept thinking about him. So this girl looked for excuses to talk to him, to spend some time with him.. The doubts were created deliberately and she approached him for solutions which she never carefully listened. The sole purpose was to be with him.
THE BEGINNING
Then came the day when she finally waved goodbye to her love (at that time). She migrated to another college. She met him on the last day. And to her surprise he had asked her to stay and not migrate since she was a good student. Oh ! Her heart sank.. she was happy. But then she had to leave. She got up said bye and looked back while leaving. He was watching her going and said bye. And she moved on with her life… And the journey began…
Who was she? Why did I thank the weather? It reminds me of that sunny afternoon… and the charming face of the man who took my heart away. Yeah.. It was me.. J
