"its sunday morning,i woke up a little early,something which happen very rarely..i look really weird on the mirror,my french beard and long hairs are quite enough reasons for my mom to keep yelling at me for a neat hair cut and proper shave from the moment i reached home..well, saturday was pretty rocking,i got up with a sprain on left shoulder which transformed me to an android,unable to rotate my head,literally turned the whole body to see all directions..that got healed as the day passed by,time was crawling which forced me to switch on the tv(oh!!moment i realized it was the republic day..),the same old boring parade flashing on all channels,the one i have been watching from the time i was born,the similar stunts,colourful folk dances,children dancing under the sun,balloons,elephants,camels,everythings in the world are out there..
its evening,me and my mom went out shopping to a nearby mall,but for the walks i hate going there,all crowded up,felt like the whole city was packed up there,people running around in all directions all startled and confused as if they were lost in the middle of a sea..and there happened this funny situation when somebody lost his family in the crowd and had to announce about their whereabouts..some are busy checking out all the crazy stuff right from the stapler pins to the toilet washers,they have everything a normal guy can use in a lifetime..while,others like my mom walks around all floors,checks the price tag of all the craps,then keeps them back on shelf,but never dares to buy one,i guess its to keep herself updated about the day to day prices(typical middle class mother),to my embarrassment,i never walks with her,we end up buying some titbits..and thats not the end of it,one has to wait long queues on counters with anxious people,their loads piled up in trolleys,eager to show others the heavy bills and the credit cards they own..its very interesting to watch the different faces there,what they think,their animal instincts which reminds me the fact that apes were our ancestors..and there are others who are still hesitant to remove their plastic seat covers from their age old cars as if its rolling out from the showroom,they are ready to compromise the luxury for the slightest trace of dirt,they are the slaves to the gadgets rather than the gadgets being theirs..humans invent things for added comfort and luxury and it should be always that humans be superior to the machines..do people often forget that??that was hell of a joy shopping out there,is this what we call "saturday fever"??"

"she came and with no doubts sat next to us..we all got in serious talks,the old guy started narrating his experiences in life,he was someone like a management guru,had a farm of his on, did business after throwing away his high-paid job..all were keenly listening to this guy(me,ofcourse on the girl!!)..soon,the girl too joined us,thanks to this guy,she was also to the same place we were..well,to tell the truth,i am a bit shy when talking to a girl unless i know her well..that came up here too,but she was the one who took the initiative this time,she was unmarried,maybe two or three years older than me,works in a prominent bank..i dont know why,she was very free talking to me as if we knew each other for a very long time,that she was brought up in mumbai,from a middle-class nair family(well,that means im an eligible candidate though the age matters!!but,sorry i dont care..)..i felt like she was explaining these for her own cause(or was she really proposing me!!).. either way,that went on till we reached our place(i didnt even notice how time passed by,never wanted to reach there,never wanted to leave her too!!)..she had her aunt waiting at station,gave me her number and that was the end of it all..i felt like somebody was taking away something from me..for the next few days,this girl was my only thought,whole day,whole night,she was in my dreams,what you say,i became a lover boy..we kept in touch,messaged frequently,called her once in a while,but never met..though i made many attempts and she too,it never worked..and believe me one cant really be that close until and unless you meet her for a very long time..and somewhere in between,she too became busy as i did and that ended all..
well,two years is infact a long time and to remember a guy who was met so long back is still more weird..that was what i thought about the whole incident..but the real surprise,one evening i got a call from an unknown number,i was totally taken back when a girl asked me if i know her..that was her,the girl i had met years back,she still remember me,still unmarried,i dont know why,does she have the same feeling as i have??never know,thats why its so difficult to read a girls mind..is she the one??"
"something great happened to me,this was some time back..i feel like telling it to you,part of it is truth and part of it pure fiction..
this happened on a train journey maybe some two years back..ofcourse i play the lead role,my friend supporting me,then others are,a cute young girl,a sixty something old man and his wife..it was a sunday afternoon,we started off from home,its a four hour journey which we loved very much chatting all the craps mostly girls made the topic of interest,then eating "idli vada sambars" and all that stuff(something i really love during train journeys!!)..and when we both are bored,just gazes outside at the trees,lush green fields and children waving us,they all keep soothing the senses..time to describe my friend,very different from what i am,he is tall and his giant-like image makes one feel he is to unleash his ferocity any time,but in striking contrast he is not the one you will expect to be,man of very few words,very calm,quiet kind of guy..we both were sitting on the window seats and as usual we started our chat-box,mostly it was one-sided,me not giving the other guy a chance to start..so, we sat there watching nice girls coming and going,waiting passengers at stations and all that..an old man in his early 60's,i guess and his wife sat next to us..my initial conclusion was that the man was pretty well-educated and a decent guy..from the time he sat there,he was trying to do something frantically on his age old mobile phone,i felt it was much more older than him..never too late before the old man called us for help,and we were always at service(never missed out oppurtunities for show-offs!!)..we called the customer care guy and the age-old device showed new signs of life,in between i tried to joke it as much older than him,broke into some laughs(thanks to it,my joke clicked at the right moment!!)..
then happened the most memorable moment of my life,a girl came from nowhere,initially "i thought god himself sent her for me"(thats what you tell in hindi movies)..in her early 20's,cute-looking,lovely,charming(what you say,the perfect girl no boy wants to miss!!)..i dont know what i felt at the time,is that what you call "love at first sight",no clue of what was happening to me.."
(to be continued...)
"these days visitors of my blog shot up so much so that i have to ask each and every one on road or beg my friends to go through and for the few other greats i have even dropped the very idea..now my real visitors are a very few interested ones(thanks to those lovely guys!!) and people who accidently drop on the page and quickly realizes,"bull shit!!sorry,its the wrong page" and quickly navigates away,and for some of my other friends they keep yelling out "what the f*** is this all about,lets get the hell out of here" and dismisses it as a crap(again thanks to them for finding the truth)..sometimes i do feel why waste time on the damn thing,but still i cant help my mind to end the whole affair,maybe i am more obsessed now a days.."
"so,its sunday afternoon,moreover its the first sunday of '08..a bit lonely now,no one to talk or hear me,just my freakin computer here and,my left eyes sore and bulged out,getting mad anyhow,the right way to start the new year..the fact that im into a new year started seeping within me,the celebrations are all over,life back to normal..new year day went off quite peacefully except for the crackers we burst in our campus and the sky all lighted up with colourful fireworks,as soon as we were closing to the magic 00:00hrs,mobile phones poured off with sms,calls of new year wishes,everyone seemed so urgent that all the airtels and vodafones kept on repeating the sweet female voices that their lines were busy....surprisingly,no drinks this time,all my friends needed a change and to my great surprise one of my friends who hardly missed a chance for his quota of alcohol last year was the forerunner in this "no alcohol" drive,i bet if he can stay like that for a month,but whats there in trying,let him..and this years resolutions ranging from no more girls to no more adult movies to no more cigars to no more drinks all seemed really funny coz the very people cannot live without 'em..the very next day,i realized that nothing has really changed,the same dumb college,the boring classes,the so-called great lecturers(i still couldnt find anything great in them,maybe the brainy guys can!!),the "born for books" nerds,"dont care anyone" kinda girls all made me sick..the very reasons why i do hate the college life except for the hostel where we have the real fun..infact nothing has changed in me too,the same old me,the same weird ideas,the same friends,the same place..so,why do we all go crazy about the new year??anyone help me!!"
