The Real Diamond

My sis is getting married this June. After much prodding - I had zeroed on diamonds as an appropriate gift for her, from exclusively me. Hence, my search began for the right cut, right finish, right colour, right weight and the right jwellery for my sweet little sis.
Latching on with my best pal - I began looking thru’ diamond showrooms. I ruffled thru’ Nakshatra, Aura, D’elite stores - much to the annoyance of the salesgirls & my pal - but somehow I just couldnt find the right stuff.

As a last stoppage - we found our way to Tanishq. As in all stores - me & my friend were greeted with a warm welcome & a cold breeze from the ACs.

… And then she came. An ordinary salesgirl, but she just extra-ordinarily caught my imagination. After, I broke up with my long standing girlfriend, a couple of years back - I had unconciously vowed to myself to refrain from chasing skirts anymore. And, for these years I have just been working, & living my life for the awesome family & friends, I have.

And there, she comes & blows me off the marbel floors. As she went on showing me diamonds - I started having problem on concentrating on the purpose of my visit. She was in a formal Tanishq wear - formally & habitually smiling & speaking to us. She was wearing a light make-up - actually she didnt need any - her voice & her soothing persona was a force enough. As time flew by - I went on with my ways of selection & rejection of the jwellery, but just couldnt leave the place. I selected 2 pieces, and she readily put it on her, for display. I was dead confused - what was more attractive? the Diamonds or Her.

Doomstime came - and we had to leave. She signed her name on a paper, for ready references of more jwellery. Many hours have ticked by, since I saw her - but she doesnt seem to leave my thoughts, as of now.

Will I ever go back to Tanishq just to see her? Is this some frickle liking? Will I ever tell her how I felt …? Will I …?

The questions are many, answers are none.

    Ask and ye shall know. It would be a simple YES or a simple No - but
    whatever - do not forget the diamonds.

    Debasish, Divya, Lakshmi and Sujoy should know that i am equally in
    love with the same girl. She was shinning better than the diamond. I
    could not keep myself away from her thoughts. Her smile intoxiated me.
    Her sweet scent and her beautiful eyes still haunts me. I would love to
    have her as my life partner. I got drowned into her eyes. She is simply
    rocking.﷯

  16. Debasish Chaudhuri says

    prem eshechhilo, nishabda chorone,
    taai swapno mone holo tare,
    dinu tahare aason, prem eshechhilo…

    Cheers and go back to talk to her, say her how beautiful she is, take her
    number, or u give ur visiting card with ur no, call her, fix it, choose your
    diamond. Remember, love appears most silently..
