An Affair after Despair-Day#2

Day 2 :

Sun had already taken a bed-tea and was playing hide and seek in the sky, when Sameer's alarm rang,"Jane ye ladka kya karega, kapoot hai ye kapoot, uth nalayak !!" And Sameer woke up, still grumpy and unhappy over last day's embarrasement. But, it was still Tuesday, so he got up feeling his feet as 50 kg each, and hardly managed to drag himself to washroom. It was easy today, he dressed up for office, got down the staircase anticipating one more encounter to make up for yesterday but, there was no wind, no violins, just an old Maruti emitting too much carbon-monoxide, reminding him of yesterday's embaraasement !!

Sameer took an auto to his office as usual and was thinking all ifs and buts all the way. As he reached the compound, he saw a girl getting off a cab.Oh God, thats her !! Sameer got excited and would ve jumped out off his auto, if auto-wala hadnt given a jerk to auto,smelling Sameer's intentions.And when he stopped the auto, he turned angrily towards Sameer with his finger ready to point and shoot, but to his dissappointment, he found nobody inside. Sameer had dissappeared like a ghost vanishes in thin air!Shocked, he turned his head to find Sameer, and found him standing next to a pretty girl. Tanya was struggling to find change in her purse just as a novice magician tries to find a rabbit in his hat to complete the trick ! "May I help you?", Tanya raised her head to see Sameer
standing beside her smiling.Sameer asked again,"Let me help you." Tanya had no choice but to agree as she was getting late for office.She nodded her head in yes and Sameer came in between her and Cab driver like a hero jumps between his gf and hungry tiger in jungle."I dont know, why cab drivers dont keep change? Just to embarrase common people? You guys should be debarred from driving cabs without carrying change!" The cab driver was listening to Sameer like a sincere student in class listens to his teacher.Sameer was still continuing,"I feel all cabs should ve a swiping m/c installed so that you guys dont trouble people",all this while he was glancing to make sure Tanya is watching him talk like an
intellectual in an international convention does on Global Warming! Also, he was searching for his purse, which was not to be found at its usual hide-outs.He had already frisked his pants front pockets, the back pockets. The last option, the shirt pocket also reported it missing!The cab driver swung out of the cab, and examined Sameer from top to bottom,like an ATS personnel examines a suspect.Now it was his turn,"Listen Madam, I know you dont ve change. No problems,I know you work here,I would take it tomorrow.  But I ve one advice, dont ever trust such guys(and gave Sameer a nasty look), huh" !! Sameer could see his WTC of love, falling and cab driver looked like a Lashkar terrorist to him, who had just crashed his cab instead of plane to cause demise of his budding relationship! 
Sameer turned to explain to Tanya that he must have forgotten purse at home, but found his auto-wala in between. Sameer looked him and then looked Tanya. Tanya felt as if a hungry Somalian child was staring at her while she was eating a Mc Donald's burger!She immediately took out a 500 rupee note and handed over to Sameer and started walking.

"Tanya, please wait a min, let me explain...",Sameer came running, panting. 
Tanya stopped,"now what? I ve had enough for the day".
"I know, I am so sorry...I know, you feel that I always behave weird. But its just that,when I get nervous, I behave like this".Sameer looked serious."I wont trouble you more, just give me your phone # so that I can contact you to return your favor,your money." Tanya calmed down, she now felt pity for him.She wanted to talk but it was already late."9975432341 and dont call me after 9pm",she said and rushed to her office.
Last time, Sameer had been so happy was when his school time gf, who dominated him so much had left her to hook up with his arch rival,Rohan. Sameer started dancing in slow motion,"Pehla nasha..pehla khumaar.....". He threw his jacket in air.."naya pyaar hai...naya intezaa.." bAAAAAAAm..Sameer found himself on ground staring at sky and people staring at him, the biker and the bike. Actually, the jacket he threw in air, did not get proper landing instructions from ATC and it landed on a biker coming from behind, who in turn crashed directly into the parking lot of Sameer. Fortunately, the impact was not major as Sameer was still smiling while people carried him for first-aid.

An Affair after Despair-Day#1

Many times, things just keep bouncing off, I mean dont fall in place and you feel its not gonna work,but its not so ! Sometimes, it all happens for a reason :)

So have faith and be yourself, thats what you can do best in difficult times !!
So cheer up !!

Day 1 :

Sameer was in his bed when his mobile-alarm rang,"Tere jaisi aulaad se to be-aulaad hona achcha,door hoja meri nazro se, nalayak!!" Sameer jumped off his bed like a spring-loaded-toy. Then he realised, he was far away from his home,where his dad would kill his morning dreams brutually with a harsh voice. He thanked God and looked at his room walls covered up with bollywood posters of his favorite movies and stars, he felt fresh then to get started with his morning chores.

He went to washroom, with Fardeen Khan dancing in background to tunes of,"Ho..ho..ho..ho.ho...Good morning Indiaaaah" He was feeling uneasy and cursing himself because of the junk he ate last night at Shyam's party. Though it was not for the first time, he had done something like this. Sameer was a
foodaholic and yet could model for a toothpick advertisement. But this time, even after spending half an hour on thought-seat, he could not wash off his sins of last night. But as he was getting late, he put everything "on hold" list and ran to the shower and in five mins, he was ready for office.

As he was rushing down the stairs, he was feeling the prelude of fireworks inside his stomach. But as soon as he reached the corner of staircase, he forgot evrything. Violins played "Mohabbatein tunes" around him and there she was....Tanya walking towards him, with her long hair resisting the gush of wind, her right hand desperately trying to cover her sparkling, beautiful eyes and her anklets giggling and peeping out of her Patiala Salwar. Usually Sameer gets all charged up in such cases and plays cool dude confidently. But it was one of those special occasions when your heart doesn't catches signals of any tower in your mind. And so, Sameer was standing at the staircase corner, awestruck, helpless, paralysed. Tanya had already noticed Sameer but pretended not to... and kept walking with a blank face, an art girls usually have a doctorate in. But this time, she felt pity on the poor fellow and thought of giving him a chance to talk to her, by asking for time, though she had a watch and mobile for backup for that case. And so, as she reached Sameer, still standing as a statue, with his head inviting pigeons for good luck and open mouth inviting flies, she halted for a second near him. And thats it....

This shock was enough to spark the fireworks inside Sameer's belly, which acted like a chemical weapon, result...a sudden fire and the damage
was done! Tanya did exactly what any self-respecting girl with unblocked nostrils would do. She walked away as if she hadn't even thought of halting. The moment for which Sameer was waiting since ages, came and passed by and all he could do was,behave like a pressure cooker does when on a burner !

Love's-truck !!

Its been almost 5 months, we moved in together. And since then, my life has taken a complete X-turn...sounds weird..ok, U-turn. My friends complain, I dont spend time with them. My books complain, as I dont spend time with them either. So what ?? Its not my fault, what can I do !

Not long ago, I was lonely, though I had a dozen people around me. I was incomplete, in search of that something, that could complete me in true sense. I was going through a nightmare, away from family, away from friends, infact drifting away from life itself !

Then, I met her.... her charm, her aura just blew me away. I still remember, when I saw her for the first time, in a mall. I just saw a glimpse of her and I was spell-struck ! Then and there I decided, that she ll be mine, no matter what happened. I collected all information about her from all resources, her likes, dislikes; her friends and family; her compatibility preferences and all. Phew.....sheer madness but luck shined on me and we met..met again and again. I started spending more and more time with her. I would see the clock a hundred times in office, and run after work to be with her. And she would also wait for me and greet me with a twinkling spark in her eyes. Whenever we are together, I could not help staring in her eyes, they are splendidly vivid. Infact, I see a whole new world in her eyes.

I love almost everything about her, infact I am crazy about her. The way she talks..by the way, she talks a lot. Whole night would end, but her stories would not! I do not know, who told her all those stories, but I love hearing them. Its not just because of the story itself but because her face lightens up like morning sun while telling a story and her expressive eyes would pierce through my flesh to my conscious and wash away all the worldly malice and discontent. Sometimes, I fall asleep even in midst of her stories, but she wont mind and rather just lie by my side, whole night. And when I wake up in the morning, she would still be there, so serene, so calm like the evening sea-shore. the moment I wake her up, she smiles at me and we start talking about the world affairs. She is very brainy, and talks about a lot of stuff, I dont even know.

She is a bit on heavier side, and so to walk, carrying her in my arms is a bit tedious...but still I dont mind because I feel like a bollywood hero carrying his beautiful damsel in his arms! It feels so lucky, having her in my life, dont know, what would I ve done if she had not supported me in my difficult times. I thank God and
H&P (her parents) for giving me this wonderful gift.

Though all is well, but sometimes I get irritated when she faints while we are in midst of a conversation because of  low battery ! Yeah, what ? Cant my lappy suffer from low battery syndrome ? She is also a machine, she has every right to behave like one ! Now dont give me that look, I am not a weirdo...its just that I love her so much ! Don't you ??
