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 !
