Life.......

I got an opportunity to be in the midst of the most creative minds, most friendly people, friends who would never give-up on you, seniors who would be there to resolve every single doubt in your mind, a beautiful ambiance and a learning haven.
The moment I stepped in, I fell in love with the place, people, everything. It was so beautiful, so lively, so perfect.

But, I blew it all. I did some grave mistakes in my life & now is the time for the payback. Someone must have wished hard for me not to get what I want.

How badly I wish, I should have listened to my well-wishers.
How badly I wish, I could forget my past and just move on.
How badly I wish, I could be among you all.

Thousand things going on in my mind at the moment, I pray for the courage to move on, to look beyond the obvious, start afresh and have you all in my life even if we are not together.

I am and always will be grateful to Miss Kay, Sam, Neh, Aks, Martini, Ritz and Jazz.
Will miss you always. Love you all...

There are things words can't express,
Some feelings I can't show,
But, if you ever need me,
I'll be there right next to you...

February 16, Monday.

Monday morning was right there gazing even before I could realise. Rushed through my rituals and went to the college for the morning class. Guess, the proffesor was also feeling the monday blues and so decided to skip the class. Now, we students have this wonderful habbit of bunking all the classes for the day if there is no class in the 1st hour Actually, being enginners, we know the maths of optimization. ;-)
Now, being a free day, we walked our ways to the Coffee House (our very own Central Perk). Ordered for breakfast and started apna adda over a cup of coffee. The best part is that no one here asks you to leave even if your drink is over long back and you are just catching up with friends.

After a healthy discussion on how to postpone the upcoming exams, we left for our home. I was thinking of asking Puja about her plans, when it struck me that I don't have her number. Life has its own wierd sense of humour. The last couple of days were pretty exciting, to say the least. We were having so much fun that we actually forgot to exchange our numbers. I guess you ask for a girl's number even before you ask her name. And here I am, with 1 coffee & 1 full day-out, searching my phone like an idiot.
I was thinking whether to go to her place or her college or the cafe outside campus. 'No, I can't go to her place and ask her mom. Going to her college also doesn't sound too impressive. Okay, I guess cafe is the last resort'. So, I went to the cafe hoping to catch her glimpse but as my luck turned out to be, there was no sign of her.

I walked back home with a heavy heart but a hope in some corner of my heart to see her again...

February 15, Sunday.

Got up late, as usual. Shaved, Showered, Dressed in 10 mins flat. My personal best. :-D Reached her place in time. She was dressed in a white embroidered salwar kameez. I just couldn't take my eyes off her for the next few mins. She was looking simply gorgeous. She sat next to me and then we drove off to the theatre. There wasnt much traffic, it being a sunday. Reaching the place early and being hungry, since birth, I grabbed a sandwich and sat on the corner table of the cafe. God, was she looking beautiful. :-)
The movie was good and by the time it got over, it was already time for lunch. We went to a nearby restaurant and ordered. Discussing about the movie, we realised we have the same kind of taste as far as bollywood is concerned. Both like no drama, no rona-dhona types. My love for the english psycho and horror movies definitely turned out to be a shocker for her. Finished lunch and then we went for a walk on the broadway.
She wanted to shop so we went to the 'Famous' MG Rd. (Famous because whole Cochin is here on any given day...) Some 4 hrs later & after going through all the dresses available in Cochin and buying a handful, mam finally decides to call it a day. It was getting dark and we were hungry after the excursion.
So, Dinner Time !!! :-D
Everyone is destined to do something. For me, to eat !!!

It was a wonderful evening. The moon at its best. We walked down to a new restaurant overlooking the backwaters. We took a seat outside in the open.
It was the most romantic dinner. Full moon night, candle-lit table in midst of the soothing breeze from the sea and the most beautiful person. I couldnt have asked for anything more. And the food was perfect. We just chatted and chatted and chatted. We did eat also, in case you are curious. :-P
Finally, we had to leave when it got pitch-dark. It was almost 10 and her parents were starting to get furious. We drove back listening to slow romantic numbers, windows rolled down.
Who needs a drink to get a high ?!?
