A dedication

t was half past 5 , i came back to my workstation and logged on to the system.4 new mails have come.One mail immediately caught my attention.It was from my friend.
"I m getting engaged " the matter starts

I read the mail and i was very happy.Now she s going to enter into a new phase of life. But at the same time i became gloomy. She s gonna settle abroad after marriage.That means i wont be able to meet her after marriage

I never talked to her that much when in college . We ended up in same company, same unit , same room in officei called NOC room.

The friendship grew inside office and also after office hours, when at her home through little chit chats

But destiny had some other ideas .We had to move to another location.But she didnt join us to our new place,which meant no chit chats at home.Even though i used to tell her jokingly , i would come to your place and you should introduce me to your hot roomies, i actually wanted to see her.Ensure that she s happy.But it never happend. Laziness,Work But still i wished but never been able to do that.

But we got connected again through blogs.Never knew she was an avid blogger

Then i started to talk to her not daily , but at frequent intervals with her through my office communicator.

.You need not have any subject to talk to her, She will make you as comfortable and she will never bore you

I was never close to her but still i feel i will miss that girl's presence

But friend whereever you are , i wish you a very prosperous life with lots of children and lots of love from your partner

Anytime you feel wanna meet me!!! come to my blog I m always here ,Wandering like a nomad and acting my part in the whole drama called "life"

Eyes- Part 2

What Next!!!! Yeah i thought i walked towards the entrance swiped my card and got out ,crossed the road.Now its time for the real adventure, getting into a cab , or should i take an auto?.My sensible mind said, Take an auto!!!!.But here i have to bargain with senseless autowallas.

Luckily i got one , and that too which run on meter!!!!!!!.Now i should be careful as to which one runs faster"Meter!!!! or Auto!!!

Things went on normal and to my luck auto ran faster than its meter and other vehicles to reach station

I got in to station scrolling my eyes on the digital screen. I could find out , it is in platform no 3 . I looked at my watch 15 minutes is still there.

I started moving towards the platform. Suddenly one hand touched me from behind. I turned back ( a grim hope it wud be her) and saw a guy instead!!!

I have seen the face but couldnt recollect

Hey " U here' dont u remember me!!!!! i am Sabarish , your Schoolmate

My mouth was wide open. I have heard the name but i dont remember the face

Anyway i said Hello!!!!! .He started talking , Are you going home? he asked!!!!!!

"No" i said

"Going to meet your girlfriend or seeing her off"He asked
I wanted to say "No , and wanted to say "friend"(but i didnt reply , because even i say its guy, you never know what he will say next as these days are "Dostana" days)

But eventually i said "Friend"

He seems to be in a mood to talk and i was in noo mood to listen as my eyes were stuck on the clock 10 minutes more and train will leave

Hey How long you ve been in Hyderabad? where are you working? what did you do after school? Are you married? Isnt it high time to marry? Hey do you know whether any of our schoolmates are here? Do you have contact with any of our school mates? You are still the same small guy but you have put little weight!!!!! Drinking Beer a lot ha!!!!!!!

Man , my mouth was wide open.He is not stopping and not allowing me to reply also and to make matters worse he is holding my hand so tightly as if i m a thief in clutches of a policeman

5 more minutes !!!!!!! i have to climb stairs and meet her

He seems to be talking a lot and me, staring at the clock totally lost.

I regained my composure and i got myself removed from his clutches .i gave him my number and i started running

Forgot to say bye!!!!
I ran and ran and missed the stairs down to 3 rd platform , i crossed it and i was moving towards 5 th Platform
I stopped turned and started running back. 3 more minutes

i ran down the stairs and was vividly looking at the Sleeper class compartments,

My eyes caught what i wanted( not any girl but the compartment)

i checked the reservation chart i found her name and then i looked up near by!! saw a huge girl .

Oooo!!!!! Is this? nah? She started walking towards me.

I wanted to say Nahiiiiiiii i am not the one!!!!!!!

She walked passed me and i had a big sigh of relief. I need to go to other side of compartment as her seat is at that end.

I started walking . i heard a HEY. That was the voice of a girl

i turned to my left. The girl smiled

"I thought you wont turn up" She said

I couldnt say anything !!! half of my breath was gone after that running and was trying to regain my composure.

I smiled.

A slim girl with a round face - I noticed

She immediately gave me a Dairy Milk and at that moment her eyes twinkled

Cute i thought

The train started moving now.

"i will meet you when i come back" Thanks for coming" "This is my number" .

I didnt know what to say . I smiled again

" Bye,We will meet again"

The train started moving faster .I could see her hand waving .

I turned and started walking .
Not bad at least i met her and got a dairy milk as bonus i thought

NOW

"Excuse me" i suddenly became conscious!!.The old lady sitting next to me said "Could you please help me in lifitng the berth?"

Oh ok!!! Its time for her to sleep i thought . i gave her a helping hand

I checked my watch its 9 30 .Need to sleep now, i thought

I made myself comfortable in the Upper Berth .

Next Day Morning

Train reached Chennai, i got out of the compartment.

'Achaaaaaaaa" i heard a child cry.I turned .There it is my sweet little kid along with her even sweeter mother

i smiled walked towards them

She jumped towards me

Just started to tell achaa amma,but managing it quite well

I took her .She had something in her hand. It was a"Dairy Milk"

She gave it to me with a twinkle in her eyes

i looked at my wife. i saw the same twinkling of eyes

i held her hand and started walking

Eyes -Part 1

Its Friday and i am eager and happy like a school kid, ye i have 2 days holidays hehehe.Every one here is thinking of partying , whereas me!!!!!! i am thinking of catching the 6 45 Charminar Express to Chennai. The Train which takes me to my lover girl of 3 years , yeah my wife !!!!!!!!


3 years ago
It all started one Friday evening. i got a call from my mom, hey you go and meet a girl, got photo buti cant send it , you will get a call from her , talk to her and meet her !!!!!!!



I said"Mom, Are You crazy !!!!!?how will i identify her?

"No worries leave it to her, she will find you." She said

That's t , call got disconnected.

Time for a break i thought .
When i came back i saw 3 Missed calls on phone.Apparently i left my mobile at the desk.

2 different numbers with one repeating twice
That must be her!!!!!!!! I thought i dialled the first number

Goodevening Sir!!! was the reply from other side( a sweet female voice)

SIR!!!!!!.Hmm,why should she call me sir!!!!!!!.

Then came next" What can i do for you Sir!!!!!!!.

" Hey I wanna Marry You" thought of replying like that .For one second my senses were out.

"Do you wanna talk to our Customer Care Officer!!!!!!" voice asked again

Just then i realised , it was Some Insurance Co s number from which i got a call

"Nothing!!!! Thanks i got a call from this number want to know who t was!! "

I hung up

Then i looked at next number !!!!! which repeated twice

I dialled that number, expecting that voice

It got connected and zoom came the voice.

"Goodevening Sir this is from HSBC personal loans , you told me to contact me after 5 today Sir!!!!! So what type of loan do you want....................................... .
he spoke non stop for 1 minute.

I hung up the phone

Just stared at my monitor for sometime .

I wanted one more break!!!!!! i stood up and walked towards my buddies in next wing.This time i took my mobile with me.

When you expect something, your mind is so pre occupied that you are lost. I got lost .Instead of going to buddies wing i took the other way,swiped my id card and went out .

Just then my mobile started ringing.Should i pick up? Is it her?

In a hurry topick the phone from my trousers pocket, it fell down

There it goes ,batterry to north Mobile to the south.

To make things worse , i was near the lift !!!!!.

Just then lift opened , and a large crowd stepped out !!!

I found myself searching for phone like a mad man in between the crowds

Oh !! i got the stuff at last . I managed to assemble it.

Switched on the phone ,Took a coffee from vending machine and went back to desk .

I started working on the excel again.But Alas!! my eye balls were fixed at the mobile

I couldnt work.

I stopped ,and started looking at the mobile .Call Call!!! i am waiting for you. I wanted to shout !!!

Nothing happened .Half an hour passed .No calls .To my utter horror ,i realised i m on the same excel sheet for the last half hour

I was about to get things in order,but again my mobile started ringing.

This time i was not eager but i was angry !!! i picked it and was about to say "Who the hell"

Just then voice from other side said

"Hello , I am Dhanya, you mom might have told about me.

Sorry just wanted tomeet you .

Would it be possible to come to Secunderabad Railway Station?. In fact ,i am going to Chennai by Charminar Express at 6 45 pm

S3 45 is my seat or i will stand outside S3 .No need to search for me,I will find you , i have seen your photo. "

I said" Ok.But" i was about to say ,but phone rung up

At that moment nothing worked .

Meeting a girl who may or may not be your life partner, for first time ,in RAILWAY STATION!!!!!!!

Gosh ,What s all this !!!!!!!!1

I looked at my watch, its 5 45 already . If i dont leave now i wont be able to meet her

I shut down the system and started walking towards door wondering WHAT NEXT!!!!!!!!


TO BE CONTINUED

SHE-Part 2

This lovely song from Simon and Garfunkel "Are You Going to Scarborough Fair" made me to put its wonderful lyrics , coz it took back me to her

Here is the Lyrics
Are you goin to scarborough fair? parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needlework, then shell be a true love of mine

Tell her to find me an acre of land, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand, then shell be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather, then shell be a true love of mine

Are you goin to scarborough fair? parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine

Life as a Train Journey

I love train journeys. Its a true reflection of our journey of life.You meet people , befriend them and next morning when you reach your destination you say goodbye to them .That s t.Think!!!!! of life as a train journey. When you are born into this world , you have a got a confirmed ticket. ye, ticket to live. You have started the journey of life. The destination for a train journey is Station and what s destination of journey of life???/ some people say death , some say self realisation, but isnt it soil our destination.???YE we rush and end up chaared in soil. Now you ve got the seat in journey of life, who are our co passengers in life?. Some already have boarded the journey of life ,they are our ,Parents. Then come friendsand life partners, they join us in every phase of life,like other passengers board from different stations.But each one will leave us when their destination reaches.We tend to remember some passengers in our train journey for quite a long time because we somehow are attracted to them. Likewise we tend to remember some goodfriends of ours even if we have lost touch with them .then comes our life partner- wife/husband.They shar e o ur seat in the journey of lifeat some point later , but you never know where they are headed to!!!!!!!! .We tend to be sad or disappointed when some pasengers whom we haveliked soo much in train journey . leaves us. Isnt the same sadness that will occur when our beloved parents and others leave us ??????. Coz neither we will meet the passenger or our parents again .Train Journeys are not without risks, thiefs may rob us.In real life also we have some ppl who are thieves who rob our happiness .Sometimes train stops coz there is no signal to move forward. Life also stops for a brief while,when we dont get the signal as to how to move forward. We travel through all sorts of lands, lush green paddy fields to barren lands, isnt it ironical that in the journey oflife , these lands depicts our phases of life?????
barren- when we feel bored lush- when we are full with energy.When the destined station comes we pack up but we never can predict when it will come just like we never know when we will end up in soil. But have we ever me the driver of train , in train journeys? answer may be NO , likewise in our journey of life, we ve never met the driver who takes us forward to the destination. Yeah we wud never meet God who s the real driver in this journey of life.

SHE

What happened? . i suddenly woke up . i just blinked and again came the same question . "Nothing just tired" was my reply .She smiled and went past me. That was "she" ,never tired never sad and always happy. Then started the usual classes i just couldnt concentrate coz i was tired and my eyes were searching for something to concentrate on!!!!. It was not on the book or lecturer that my eyes landed,but it was on her. "She" was not the most beautiful woman i ever saw , but there was something that attracted me to her.But she was the most active person in
the class. Days went past suddenly i knew her mother was no more. i was sad but couldnt believe the fact that she knew that her mother wont be there for long.She hid this from all of us she smiled but deep inside her she was crying. The day after the cremation we visited her. She
still smiled seeing us and told everything about her mother.Never was her voice feeble and never did she stumble. When she stopped she paused and then Tears started flowing . I couldnt sleep that day.One week later she started attending classes again.I started talking to her more often , the usual introvert i am trying to be extrovert,tryin to console her.Now more and more i spent time with her the more and more i got attached to her. i started loving her. For what and why did i love her? . i never knew and it happened and i started thinking more of her. But i was soo "bold and courageous " that the fact that i loved her was not known to anyone except me and the four walls of my room. Then the more i saw her the more i wanted to talk to her but i couldnt talk . Then slowly the interaction got limited to "hai" s and "smiles" which frustrated me a lot. Such was the frustration that even if she didnt smile at me for one day or talk to me my mood was gone. That was not her fault but mine. I thought i ll keep it within myself till i m independent with a job. i got a job but still the irony is that i never opened up to her.Numerous calls i made her on the phone,most of them remained unanswered.Then one day she answered me , i felt i was the most happiest man , i told her everything except that i love her.Nothing was working. But then i had to have a career for myself , i went in search of that but inside my mind i gave her a small place and consoling myself that one day i will tell her. Now i m waiting for that day when my call will be answered , when my love will be known to her. What will be her reply? i dont know !!!! whatever it is ill still be happy that she knows that at the end of the day someone is there, far away who has given some space in his heart for her...

27 years

Everthought why we always crave for childhood days? ilike being a child coz thts the time when we get lots of love and thts the time when we give lots of love to others never realising wht love is.
