18th June, 2007….
Yep!!!
The first day (of the college) in Pune. I reached at 9 am on station. 90 Gokhale Nagar, I got the bus from
Swargate, one of the three big stations in the city. I was searching for the
seat. I was little bit confused, exactly which seat was reserved for the normal
people and extraordinary people like ME. Ladies, grandpas, grannies,
moms….everyone had their own reservations. Finally, I got the seat near the
door, the engine roared and bus moved on.
One
“girl” ran towards the bus. She came nearer to the bus door, grabbed the
handle, but was not able to get in. One
guy stood up and went forward to help her. Suddenly, driver kicked the breaks,
bus stopped, girl came in, and…….that guy fell down in the bus. Everyone was
laughing except me, because “I” was that “guy”. The “girl” gave me a hand, I
stood up. She apologized, “Sorry…”. I said “Thank you!!”. “You fell down in the
bus coz of me..”, She said. Then I said it’s ok and all blah blah…
She
sat next to me. Now, I took a glance at her. Those brown-beautiful eyes were
searching something in her purse ( may be “chillar” for the ticket ). The air
from the window was flirting with her hairs. She turned to me and said, “Do you
have 1 rs. Coin??….. HELLO…”. I got the chance to see directly into her eyes,
but that last “HELLO” disturbed me. “Oh…sorry.. here it is.”. I said and gave
her a coin. “I’m sorry that you fell down”, she said. “Yes.. I’m falling in
now…”, I said. She smiled but didn’t get me. “Huh..What..??”, she asked. I
retuned from her eyes to my soul and replied, “I mean…a..a..”, I stumbled and
replied again, “Don’t be sorry, it’s ok…”
My inner ‘me’ said to ask her…” FRIENDS..???” and I rejected ‘me’. She stood up
and said, “Nice to meet you..I am in hurry, Bye”. I also replied and I got a
cute smile in return. That’s it. I was so happy that day, just because of the
“Cute Smile”.
First
day was awesome as expected…in college also. I got some new friends, Ashish,
Mithilesh and Astha (simple and sweet). I returned to my hostel where I already
arranged my luggage and all stuff , 3 days before. Cleaning the room, tea, chat
with mates, dinner, a short talk with parents (on the fon)….and ..
