Friday Blogger

I am out of the Pain, with this recuperating Rain...there's something in your Eyes, is this love at first Sight, what they often State, I am finding it as True, Is that really in the Air..Oops! I AM FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN....[Do we really get a second chance!]

Ink On.....

It started with a "BEEP" [don't allow your brain to manufacture anything else, I am referring to the sound!] on my cell phone and with that irritating sound, I tried dilating my pupils and looked at the most frightening inventions of our time, well no points for guessing, for me it's a WATCH or CLOCK! (especially when you have to take it in parlance to sleep).

It was 5:55 AM in the morning and my brain within no moment assured me that I still have 2 hours 5 mins left, that I can spend within the clasp of my adored sleep but before I could have managed to resign to the sleep again, there was another irritating "BEEP" sound, this time I decided to investigate about the shameless contact who could have easily utilized his time better  in some interesting chore rather then exhausting his free messages and my cell phone's storage capacity.I checked my "INBOX" and as I quoted, the contact was actually a friend who is a proclaimed infuriating creature and he is in the habit of doing wrong things to right people and that too at odd hours and before I had yelled some raw words in respect of that "Nit-Witted Sea Gherkin" (please do a Google search or get a Tin-Tin comics for yourself), my not in vogue cell phone's screen displayed "Happy Belated Rose Day" and then "Happy Propose Day". 

I realized why the hell a Guy is sending me these ugly messages , It made me question his "Sexual Orientation" and I started figuring out if he really belongs to the LGBT Community (please do a Google search again :P). I messaged him back stating "Message sent to the wrong recipient".

Considering my finances, I was wondering that being single is such a blessing as you don't have to worry about these so called special days (which don't even get space in holiday list) and associated expenses.While I was trying to be happy, I realized that when was the last time I got similar messages from opposite sex? After straining my brain for several seconds, I came up with the answer-"Idiot-In your last relationship and that too 3 years back" :(, with that sudden shift of thoughts, I figured out that how useless I am, I got engaged in "Intra-Personal" communication and cursed myself.."look at yourself..soon you will be turning 25" and your Inbox is still starving to get such messages from female contacts.Without any delay I countered my brain and said "See, I had a relationship and it didn't work out, I waited for her, but she didn't turn up and now I have decided that I will not end up getting in another relationship, and especially just to get those silly messages" , while the battle was on, that gory object again attracted my attention, this time it showed 6:16 AM and I realized, just because of that "Bashi-Bazouk" (Last time-please Google it!) successor of Homo Sapiens, I wasted my precious time and with no further delay, I tried sleeping again but by that time the sleep was not ready to entertain me ( sometimes I wonder, that girls are similar to sleep, you ignore them and be ready to face the music). I tried hard but they never came back (both the lost girl and the sleep).

After several futile attempts to sleep, I rushed to get ready for the office and as we all know, Offices on  Friday's are always enticing and especially for us who are singles, you never know when you can really get lucky and end up going to a coffee shop after the office hours and that too in a company..company of people with opposite biological configurations!;)

With "Propose Day" in mind, I trudged towards the metro station and managed to catch a metro just by a whisker but this time I didn't manage to cater my commitment towards the coach adjacent to gals, and was very far from even the reach of those comforting faces. Amidst the company of beings with similar biological engineering, my eyes got stuck on the corner seat next to the door. I said to myself.."What is that"..? There was a girl on that seat (generally it is reserved for old age and differently abled) and though she was neither old..nor differently abled but definitely was able to make me dream of spending my old age with her..clothed in a white slim fitted collar based pullover and equally slim black trouser, she was fairly pretty, without a blemish to mar its perfectly pale complexion. Her perfectly tied hair with curls flowing on her face, was something which made my Friday special, she was holding some files and was flipping some pages invariably, while she was busy in that, after standing for long I manged to get a seat next to her.Her fragrance too was complementing her perfect attire and looks.She looked at me with a sense of suspicion and I was all gazing at her like a Zombie and with that one sight of her's I was in love (perhaps short lived, directionless, unfinished..but ya..it was love!). By the time, I would have managed to crown her as the most endearing girl I have seen so far during my "Life in a Metro", I heard the lady announcing in a fake accent "Next station is Botanical Garden"..I wished that can't I get a life time ride with this heavenly creation of god? But I was delighted to see that she too was de-boarding on the same station, I followed her in the expectation that we might end up taking the same auto but by the time I would have manged to do so, she disappeared somewhere.

With her thoughts in my mind, I marched towards the office gate listening the song of "The Scorpions" which was perfect to convey what was going in my mind:

"Another rainy morning, People rushing bye..My head is still in the clouds, I dream with open eyes,Suddenly out of nowhere, she came into my life..Like we know each other...For quite  a while....

After reaching office, I found that the air was different, the whole atmosphere was perky, happy faces sporting casuals. I entered my tower, on the reception there was a group who were in formals but their body language were not in sync with their attire. I was perplexed to see too many people wearing formals on a Friday [though it's not a crime but still, try doing that once and people will look at you as if you have suddenly sprouted two horns! :)] 

I further inquired about the crowd and came to know that interviews are on and they are freshers from the college, I went ahead towards my workstation at the Sales and Marketing Bay and realized that I wasted a chance to say at least a hello to that girl, I wondered if I will ever get a chance to meet her again.

Sadly, I narrated the whole story to one of my colleagues and we walked towards the office cafeteria to grab a cup of coffee.He consoled me and instructed to be patient .While I was standing on the CCD counter to get my coffee, I heard a lady placing an order "Bhaiya ek Cappuccino dena"..well the voice of that lady was enough to put my neck in action and it automatically turned backwards like a revolving fan. Whooo hooo...I was shocked to see what was behind me, that was her..Yes..the lady who was in metro...the angel..whose every single thing I noticed was still hovering over my mind. I controlled my excitement and hesitantly said, "Hi"..I am Nishant...she smiled and said, "Hello! I am Natasha".She asked  "If I am not mistaken, you were sitting next to me in metro..right?..I nodded in affirmation and further inquired, "how come she is here", she informed "I am here for an interview and that too in the Marketing Team".. I exclaimed in excitement ,,"What"...that's our team (I thank God and realized, so will she be filling the vacant position in my team as well as in my life), I sensed that she found that excitement unusual but we went ahead with our conversation and after chatting for next half an hour we agreed to leave together in evening considering the fact that we both put up in the same locality.

While I was moving around with her in the office campus, my brain resurrected my faith in love and somewhere without knowing her "Yes" without expecting her "No"...was all ready to take a new start..and within no seconds..I was in love again....at that moment...all In my mind were few lines of a song...

"I loose control, when I'm close to you babe, I lose control don't look at me like this,

There's is something in your eyes, is this love at first sight,

Like a flower that grows, life just wants you to know,

All the secrets of life..You and I"

So, at the end of the day...it was a " Friday filled with Love and Adulation"..well, the best thing about this gate is...that you don't know when you are in"...Happy Valentines Day...in  advance :)

Ink OFF..till I get here again..on a new Friday...."Friday Blogger"
