Hello friends and well wishers and Hello sweetheart.......
It was an unsually warm day of end of february when i first visited that office for some personal work. She was there for her internship part. I went there to see someone. Well for all those talks about love at first sight, i did not even notice her that day. " fate had somethin else in store for us".
I went to drink water in that office and saw a group of girls chatting away( 3 if i remember correctly). I did not even raise my eyes and went away.
What a first meeting some would say.... :)
I came back after spending 2 hrs at that office with the friend and did not give her a second glance or even notice her. uneventful isn't it????
I did not meet her or see her for 2 more months. I did not visit those old places too frequently coz did not have a reason good enough.
Then 2 months later in last parts of april, I went there again for some personal work. My semester exams were on my head... Du exams already half way in in.
She was not there that time( as if i noticed.. i was not supposed to know her by then isn't it).
So nothing interesting happened in those two meets to that place. i finished my work there and then went over to Knags for some lunch all alone.. met an old friend form hindu there at BONZAI... in the narrow lane behind Macd's . had a lot of chit chat there and came back home.. My life was still going fine and strong... with bits and pieces of AUV making attempts thrown in courtsey ( mr.shake, mr virtual man, mr. LA and gang ... no real names u see :P) .
So it was almost as if my second attempt at making AUV had failed .. the team had disintegrated. I wanted to do somethin better and gave my exams thinking of what that better would be.
Exams over. Summer training required...
Over to Nextsapiens... It was more of Job than summer training in summer of 2009. Mr Virtual man will confirm it. I was more involved in it than virtual and had benefits of the same . The free phone lying there gave me good reason to call various people whom i would not have called anyway . this proved useful as i later realised.
In between i had to go to that friend's again. This time i met her officially as i was introduced to her for some work. I had to sit with her for much longer this time getting some work done.
It was not as if i was attracted to her then or anythin it was jus that atleast the conversation got rolling. We had each others phone numbers that day by the time i left and also the promise to be in touch.. We realise we had much in common ...
......
This is all for part 1 .. plz wait for part 2...
I will sign it off with a message for her. some lines for her from one of my most favorite song...
जहाँ से तुम मोड़ मुर गए थे
ये मोड़ अब भी वहीँ खड़े हैं
कहीं किसी रोज़ यूँ भी होता
हमारी हालत तुम्हारी होती
जो रात हमने गुजारी मर के
वो रात तुमने गुजारी होती।

nice that you remember the days so clearly, but the very fact which u seem to be stressing that she was not a subject of your attention is not clear with me.while reading this, it seems u were having a dash of attraction, your ego (which is not the bad one here), didnot allow u to realise.
ReplyDelete@ rains.... well nice observation. but as it now seems these are being written with hindsight. How many boys do u see on road traveling daily and how many of those catch ur attention?
ReplyDeleteWell if someone of those grows up to be close to u and say 1 year hence u are reminded that he was of those on roads u saw.
i never realized she was one of those. The point i stressed is that i now know she was one of them and i did not pay attention then.
my ego may be one of the culprits , i am no one to judge that.
But what i know the attraction part is yet to come ( in the story).
