How often have you found yourself staring blankly at your crush while in the class or tuition??
And how often would it happen that he/she would suddenly turn back and catch you?? ;-) And then, searching for a topic to start a conversation would be (and is still) the most difficult task. At least for me it was. It was my daily routine in high school days. B-)
[P.S - Maths still reigns the difficulty list]
Today, I thought of sharing a few tales from my engineering student life!
I was in second year of engineering when this started. Antaragni, the annual cultural fest was at its peak. The auditorium was over crowded with students for the dance program! I receive a text from a friend of mine. She had been on my mind since quite sometime but due to my then long distance relationship I never took it seriously or rather I was confused what actually I felt for her.
The sms read:
"Kaha hai tu? Mai left side me third row me hu!
Apna group saamne baitha hai....
Yaha ana plz"
[Where are you? I am in the third row in the left block.
Our group is sitting in the front. Please come and take me out]
I replied her that I was coming to pull her out. The row was totally packed with those shabby drunk boys who would simply make moving through the rows impossible for girls.
What happened next was indescribable! I mean, I had never shared it with anyone before in person.
I spotted her. She was in a brown saree,with matching accessories, heels and her curly locks were playing naughtily on her face. I still vividly remember how brightly she smiled seeing me and waved her hands. Those beautiful smokey eyes highlighted with Kajal were making me go weak at knees.
She looked mesmerizing! I was wonder-struck. How could one look so gorgeous, so perfect and yet be so friendly. I made my way through the crowd and reached her. The next moment I held her hand and took her with me, guarding her from those anti-social elements and reached the seats next to our group. I had an ear-to-ear smile then and I was imagining myself to be 'The Knight in Golden Armour', who had just saved his princess from the wrath of an evil monster. :-D B-)
All the time there after she kept asking,
" Tu itna kyo khush ho raha hai? Kya hua?"
[Why are you looking so happy? What happened?]
It might not sound like a Yash-Raj block buster story but for me it still remains to be very special.
Skipping to the final year of engineering. This time, departmental fests were going on in the month of August. And she was the lead anchor of her branch. She had requested me not to miss her part at any cost. But me being me, I couldn't attend the program. I was busy arguing with our idiotic fest in-charge about some trivial issue. [I still feel like kicking his butt for that]
By the time I reached, her part was over. I rang her and asked her to come out from the green room. And there she was walking towards me with an expression of sadness on her face. Did I mention, how stunning she looked in that pink saree. Beyond description! ;-)
She came and stood before me. I could never tolerate a frown on her face. Never. I didn't know what to say to cheer her up. So I took her hands and kissed them. Her expression changed from that of sadness to sweet shock. She was blushing red trying to believe what just happened with her! Never in my wildest dream I ever thought that I would hand-kiss someone in full public view.
I know its nothing to brag about but still doing something like this in public still attracts unwanted attention. There were a few juniors nearby who were grinning at us. But on a single stern look they vanished off!
I was hoping that she wouldn't slap me. Fortunately she didn't react to it much and remained calm and we resumed our talk. I was making apologies that I couldn't attend the event. Later that evening she told me how she was surprised at that gesture of mine. No one ever did it to her before me. I felt at the top of the world when she told me that it made her feel special and cared! Woo hooooo! :-D
Then after some developments that year I decided that it was not right. My feelings for her were not justified as she had some other aspirations in her life. So I decided to retreat back. But again the mind of a mechanical engineer never stops hunting. ;-)
In November, when I was on my way to Nasik from Nagpur, I suddenly confessed to a beautiful friend of mine that I had a crush for her. And that too over text messages! For quite sometime, she didn't reply. My heart was racing when my mobile buzzed it was her reply.
It read:
" OMG! Blush blush blush! :-O
Chal ye faltoo batein chhod aur ye bata....
Something something something!"
I calmed myself down and thoughtfully didn't ever open the topic ever again in front of her. And I guess within a week I was over the feelings. And it felt awesome when I soon found a new crush very soon! :-D
A few days ago when I was counting the number of crushes I had during my engineering days. I lost the count. [And mind well that I used to have and still have multiple crushes at the same time!]
There was a girl, who sat beside me during the unit tests and I couldn't ever understand how she climbed up my list of crushes. But soon I heard rumors that she had a boyfriend.Then there was another girl who had exquisite dancing skills and an unbelievably gorgeous face. I met her in a dancing event but I never saw her again after that event. I still wonder where did she go. Then there was a girl, who was never introduced to me by my juniors even after numerous parties and chocolate shakes! Grrr! x-(
There are still many more but I'm running out of time to write the tales of all of them. Though none of them could ever make a deep impact on my mind except that girl in the brown saree.
I still dream of her but deep down in my heart I know we don't have a future together. I am not right for her and she deserves someone much much better than me! Though I still keep telling her that I love her! ;-) :-P
[In the background- Badtameez dil maane na..maane na]
But the stories just don't end here...
More stories, I mean crushes from my high-school days and school days will be following soon!
Cheers!
