height of desperation?
Ok - I was fishing for something when I came across some old articles I had jotted down. Now this one takes the cake! How desparate can a guy get? I remember I wrote this in one go - possibly trying to woo a non existent lady! Obviously nothing happened - I know I expected Kavitha to atleast come and slap me! But I was safely ignored!
Then again, I liked the way I wrote the last line - "friend"! hahahaha!
The font is obviously courier to indicate nostalgia!
Yesterday morning when I woke up, I had an eternal smile on my face. So much so that Mum asked me if I had finally got a solution to the problem at work that had eaten my head for the whole of last week.
I gave her a passing nod which was neither a yes nor a no! I made my cup of tea (For once I did not wait for Mum to make it for me) and then sat, cup in hand, on the window ledge gazing at the myriad of colors on the horizon. I wanted to re-live my dream that had made me smile throughout the night!
A sip of the chai took me to back to the time when I was speaking to Seema about her friends and her life. One of her friends seemed so much in her life that I could almost picturize her?. (Kavitha Pillai) was how Seema referred to her. "She is very close and has done her B.Tech from the Vatumal Institute", said Seema.
Seema was occasionaly glancing at her wrist watch and I could sense she was getting late for her class. I didn't hold her back, but by then I had almost started imagining what kind of person Kavitha would be and if I could ever get to know her!
I raised the cuppa to my lips, only to find that I had drained the last drop of the elixir already! I came out of my reverie and started getting ready for work. I was already late!
I started my sprint to the Andheri station and was immediately back to my thoughts. "Hi", someone jogging besides me said.
I looked up and found myself gazing straight into the eyes of Kavitha! "Hi", I said looking sideways but not stopping my jog. Kavitha continued jogging with me. It was somewhat strange. I could see straight through her! She was transparent. And then I realized it was just a continuation of my dream. But then I wanted it to continue, so I played along...
"Will you be my friend?" I asked her. She smiled at me. I took that for an Yes. I had a new friend! WOW!
Seema had told me about Kavitha being a VB Programmer, and I was searching hard to make conversation.
"How do you create COM Components in VB, Kavitha?", I asked not desiring an answer. Kavitha looked up at me and gestured with a snap of her fingers - her thumb rolling of her middle finger "Like that!", she said. I was impressed!
I looked at her and smiled and she smiled back. We had reached the bus-stop. We got into the first 415 that came along. I talked to her from a wide variety of topics ranging from my favorite author to her favorite music; from my favorite jean to her favorite dupatta; from my favorite avyal to her favorite dal fry!
"Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech" The bus had reached SEEPZ and I was out of my dream with a start! Everyone was gazing at me. Obviously they were taking me for some sort of lunatic with all my talking into thin air like that!
But then, I was still smiling! - I had a new friend, hadn't I? Kavitha!
