It was early in the evening,not morning, i managed to pack my red koutan bag and one black reebok small bag,without giving any notice and not even a hint,i left my job.Donot worry,everything was planned.The one thing about being in pune is you often feel like energetic,full of zing,or might b due to age factor.What i m understanding during my two years of stay in Delhi.My sheer excitment of getting the chance to leave this country for a long time was making me extra wild and calm also.Being uniform for too long is never easy.Acceleration is something as important as firecrackers during Diwali.Too much analogy is also boring.So back to the scene,i left my flat,at 4 pm.The departure time of the train,patna-pune was still almost around 3 hours away, gave me,one of the most pleasant 2 hours of my life.No matter how much you regret something later in life what you have relished once,this mind is a terrible machine,when you want to remember something good from your past,doesnt come easily,and the thing what you want to forget,can keep you hitting second after second.
Went to the platform number 4 i guess,not sure though.What happened to my memory? Carelessly dropped my bags on the untidy station near a tea stall,typical filmy elan,looked around whether anybody is smoking or not.Most of the times,it is me only who have the guts to *banter* people by starting something new in an indecent way.Recently i did one.No body was smoking,but i had to,else i couldnt mull of enjoying my journey.As i had ample of time in my hands,and given my love for bookstores especially at railway stations.It would b unfair to shun,so i went there.Often, first i view other people what kinda books they are looking for and then according to the horde around me and their taste,i fumble about my choice of books.And when you see,sixty years old gentleman looking for something like ” the history of american politics” forty years old lady carefully asking for “manorama+grihshobha”.No wonder guy like me had to buy something which wouldnt create an earthquake for the lady if she sees me getting a copy of 8 years Debonair.Manners first,Choice later.So i bought a book FPS.As i was about to turn from the bookstore,one amazingly sweet sound socked my ears.My ears were totally clean,so not an uphill task for me to fathom that it was from a girl.
She:-Hello,could you pls look at my luggage,i need to go outside,some urgent…
Me(hmmmm,kya baat hai God Ji jab dete hain toh chhapar far ke dete hain):-Why not,but when will you come back?
She:-5 to 10 mints actually my mother is suffering from paralysis,just sudden attack…so….we are goin to Delhi …
Me: Oh sure dont worry,i m taking care…
She nervously started taking strides big enough to make horse a hare.When she went then only i realised that i have forgotten my book at the stall.You have to pay the price in life for getting good things,isnt it? Luckily,it was there only on the stall.As she was going away from me,i looked on her entire figure.A tall girl,mercilessly innocent,hair upto neck only.Covered herself in purple green salwar suit,minimum make up,infact nothing.By face,though its not easy to gauge the age of a girl,but i thought she would b around 20 maximum.Anyway,i stuffed my book into my reebok bag.Confused,mulling like-hey God,is there any bomb inside the samsonite?? Is she a suicide bomber? But when you are heading for your dreams,you are bound to b positive,unless you are not Anupam.
Railway station was bubbling with crowds.Families rushing for trains to catch,coolies hopping onto from one platform to another with their heads straight loaded with bags and vips.Some of them were spitting gutkas without taking take care of this civilised society.i also spitted twice pan parag.Glanced at my watch,still i had 2 hours more.So my nascent thoughts of that lass had time to grow and flourish unless i dont spit on her bags.ten mins passed,i wanted to go outside to see her again.hmmmm.Why should i wait? she might b in some help? With whom her mother was coming? The flood of questions started drifting from the left side of my brain to the right.And my own dreams sometimes stopped me to think about her.She is just a passenger.Chill.She will come,no need to waste your time on the things,like girls,plenty of them.And i have already one,not good to b a flirt.
I will finish this post later.stay tuned.
