It was an usual Sunday for me and I was sitting idlyhttp://datastore.rediff.com/briefcase/5F68665F656B636E/tmltb7sje1hho3gv.D.0.images.jpg in front of TV.A news reader was giving news updates on AAJ TAK.I was not able to concentrate as at that time I was waiting for the only one news update and for that I was waiting for my roomate.Yes, my roommate Abha was out for her first date with her newly found love,Rohit and I was dying to know the full report of her date.
Rohit was my classmate in MBA.He was having a very attractive personality.He was tall, well built,fair and very intelligent and a bit arrogant too.In 2 years of MBA, I never talked to him.He did not belong to my group as he never talked to girls .He was a loner but yes I was very impressed with his charismatic personality .
It was really a coincidence that Rohit and Abha were in the same company and Abha was a very pretty and good natured girl so it must have been hard for Rohit too to save himself from her charisma.I was happy for her as she
was dating with a handsome and rich guy.After 8 PM Abha was back and like a tv reporter, I showered many questions on her.


Me: How was your date?


Abha: It was okay.


Me:Yaar itna thanda answer it means he did not …yaar then you should have kissed him.


Abha:C’mon dear, can you think about anything else?


Me:Please tell me about Rohit.


Abha:You must be knowing better about him…he was your classmate.


Me:Yaar…i know nothing about him…i never talked to him…i just want to know whether he is romantic or not?


Abha:I can’t say much after our first date…..I need to spend some more time to comment on his romantic moods.


Me:Now…tell me yaar….what is the matter? …you are a little upset…you can share with me if you want to.


Abha: Nothing much yaar…but i will tell you…actually after watching movie at pvr …..we went to the nearby Mac’Donalds and he bought 2 burgers and a bottle of CocCola.Instead of pouring the drink in my glass first, he filled up his glass then he filled mine.I somehow did not like this but I ignored as sometimes it happens.After we fineshed our first round of cold drink, he again did the same thing while filling the glasses.


Me:Yaar…so what…you are upset over such a trivial issue…c’mon yaar….when you are dating with the most handsome and intelligent man,you should not notice these small things…you should admire his smartness…his intelligence …..his….


Abha: Leave it yaar…you will not understand .


Me: Okie yaar….take rest and i will not ask any further questions to you.


Abha:Thank you ….btw what is the status of your preparation as you are leaving for USA next week?


Me; You can say it’s 70% complete….rest 30% will be over in 2-3 days.


Abha: Good….do it fast.



After a week I left for USA and I was going to stay there for 2 years as per the orders from my bosses.It was not very difficult for me to adjust with me the environment as my 2-3 colleagues were already there for a project and they helped me a lot.But I got lot busy with my professional assignments that i could not reply to Abha’s e-mail regularly ,so after 2-3 months she completely stopped writing to me.
Two years passed by quickly and I was back to New Delhi again.I was feeling much relieved as for me New Delhi was any time better than New York and I found that new metrolines, new subways were built there and I liked these changes very much but I could not welcome the changes which were taking place in my personal life.Most of the friend at my office had left the company and many new faces were there and somehow i wanted my friend circle to be back,but i knew this was very difficult.I was thinking to contact Abha also but a comman friend told me that one year ago she left the job and the city too.I was really missing Abha or rather you should say that I was missing her romantic story as I was not having the latest updates but I somehow I convinced myself to forget her.


After 2-3 months life once again became normal for me due to some new friends I found at my office and in my professional life I got more busy as I got a promotion.I used to get Sundays only for shopping or for some other outings.One day I was shopping in Lajpat Nagar and was in a salwar kurta shop.I was arguing with the shopkeeper for a rebate as I love the whole act of shopping and not just buying a thing and then only I heard a familiar voice and I looked up to search for the person to find out whether she was really familiar to me and yes, I found that Abha was standing nearby and was asking the salesman to show her some ethnic salwar kurta .She was looking beautifull and at that time she was also able to notice me and we smiled at each other.I noticed that she was wearing vermilion and so i thought to myself that she was married now and the lucky man would be Rohit only.I congratulated her and said sorry for not keeping in touch with her .She just laughed and said that she was able to understand .I was dying to meet her husband (Rohit) as I was a big fan of Rohit.She was able to read my mind and said that her husband was just parking the car and would be there in a minute or two.I started looking at the entrance for Rohit and I noticed an average looking man coming and there was no sign of Rohit.I thought that it might be possible that he was not able to get any parking place but my thoughts were interrupted by Abha’s voice.She said ,”Goldi, Meet my husband Akhil”.I looked up and found that the same average looking man was standing in front of me and was smiling.I was shocked for a while but somehow I too managed to smile back and said hello to him.Abha told me that he was working for a pharma company as an executive and she was in Chandigarh for the past one year and had come to Delhi a week ago as Akhil had got a new job in Delhi.I asked Abha whether her marriage was love or arranged and in ansewer she invited me for lunch on next Sunday to tell all the story in detail. I accepted the invitation and said goodbye to them and I again resumed my bargaining .


For the whole week I thought of her only and thousands of questions were in my mind.Rohit was very handsome and at a very good position.I thought that Abha’s parents would not have agreed or Rohit’s parents would have created some problem and finally Sunday came and I went to her house.It was a rented 2 room flat and its interiors were beautifully done by her.She was looking very happy.Akhil was not at home as he was out of station for some urgent office work.Abha told me all about her marriage to Akhil.She met him in the marriage party of her cousin in Chandigarh.Akhil was groom’s cousion and in the first meeting they liked each other and after her cousion’s marriage they went for a date and after the first date only they decided to get married and their parents too agreed for the marriage.So it was love cum arranged marriage.But through out her story I was thinking of one thing that what she liked in Akhil.He was just an average man and he could not be at all compared with Rohit.
Abha was a smart girl and she read my mind and said ,”Do you know why I chose Akhil”?
I said,”Yes, I really want to know”.
She said,”Coz Akhil filled my glass first with Coca-cola in our first date

The choice

It was Saturday evening and Anubhuti wanted to go to her friend’s house just to meet her, but her mother was forcing her to go to a beauty parlour for manicure and facial as she was of marriageable age and a family was coming to see her.Anubhuti somehow prepared herself to go to the beauty parlour.She thought that again she would have to do all the same things which she had done previously .She would have to do all the make up and she would have to wear a sari again and very politely she would be answering all the questions asked by the boy’s parents.She was now fed up of doing all these things as she got rejected five times.It was not like that she did not want to get married.Like every girl, she had also dreams about her marriage.But, somehow she always wanted to marry a known guy.No, she was not interested in love marriage, but wanted to marry a guy who knew her like a family friend’s son or a boy living next door who knew her nature and and a guy like this would have been able to see her in her original form i.e. without make up.But,she was not so lucky.She always believed in simplicity and originality.She could not understand why girls love to do make up.So, she really used to hate the procedure for the arranged marriage where a girl was treated like a non-living object kept in a show room for sale. Her mother usually tried to convince her by telling her,”kya kerogi, har ladki ko yeh kerna padta hai”.





Next morning, everybody got up early in the morning.As the boy’s family had given the time of 11 o’clock , so everybody at her home was busy doing his/her share of work.Her mother prepared many things.Her father and brother were engaged in arranging furniture and Anubhuti was busy in preparing herself.She was a bit nervous too.This time, she just wore a salwar kurta and not a sari.Everything was done around 11 o’clock and her family start waiting for the boy’s family.But they did not turn up.After 2 hours of waiting,her father called at their home.The boy’s mother picked up the phone and told him that her husband had gone outside to see some land.Her father got furious and told her that they had been waiting for them .The lady told that now they would try to come around 4 o’clock.Anubhuti just thought that these people even did not have manners to inform.She was very particular about these things.






Finally, they came around 4.30 pm.After a while, Anubhuti went in front of them to face the interview.There were 04 persons in the interview panel.The boy’s father, mother, sister and the boy himself.Anubhuti sat silently on her seat and just tried to look at the boy.Looks wise the boy was okay, but being an Aquarius she was able to understand immediately that the boy might be looking smart outside, but inside he was lacking self confidence.She always valued inner smartness than the outer smartness.The boy name’s was Sanjay.His mother and father asked many questions regarding her education and hobbies, but Sanjay did not utter a word during the conversation.After half an hour, his mother told Anubhuti’s mother that she wanted to see her daughter in a sari so that she could understand her full figure.Anubhuti went inside and changed her attire to a sari.Inside she was feeling very much humiliated, but she was unable to do anything.Now, she was giving her interview in a sari and her total interview lasted for 2 hrs and finally the family went back around 7 o’clock.They told her father that tomorrow he should call him up to know the result.






Everybody at her home had sleepless night as all were anxiously waiting for her result.Anubhuti was worried for a different reason.She was thinking that what if they said”yes”. And her fear came true.She was finally selected.The result was out and everybody at her home was happy.Her mother asked her whether she had accepted the proposal.Anubhuti was silent and said nothing.Her mother understood that she was not willing for the proposal.Her mother told her that she would not get a better guy as she was an average looking girl and moreover she used to wear glasses and a bit overweight .She again told her that she should decide considering all these things.Her mother told her that she was lucky as she had been asked to take her own decision.Her mother continued telling her that 27 years ago when she got married,nobody bothered her to ask her about her choice.Just her father decided and fixed the marriage.He even did not ask for a single time about her choice.Anubhuti just listening to her and said nothing.After a while, she went to her room.She just wanted to decide alone what to do.But, before deciding anything she just started crying.She really did not want to marry this guy.She knew that Sanjay was not her cup of tea.But circumstances were against her.She was an intelligent girl, and she always wanted an intelligent guy.But, Sanjay did not seem to be such a guy.Moreover his pay was also less.Her parents said that in private companies as you switch over your salary would also increase, so she should not bother about that.Anubhuti had a wrong idea for many years that to attract an intelligent man, she should also be intelligent.But now she realised that to attract an intelligent man she should be beautiful.All intelligent men rejected her.She also thought that why she opted for HR in MBA.All Marketing students got placed, but in spite of being a topper, she was not yet placed.If she was doing a job ,the situation would had been different.She started blaming herself for all the things.She knew that this was the right age for her marriage but she knew that Sanjay was not the right person for her.She was unable to decide and she just wiped her tears and came out of the room as she was thirsty.While she was in the kitchen, she heard her mother talking to her Nani on phone.Her mother was telling Nani that Anubhuti’s marriage had been fixed and her Nani was asking more about the boy and his family.Anubhuti was shocked and shattered .Hurriedly she went inside her room.She decided that she would say a big NO.Her heart, mind everything was against this proposal.After 10 minutes, she came to her mother.Her mother asked about her decision.She just opened her mouth to tell her about her decision.Again her brain told her to say,”NO”.She listened to her brain and forced herself to say, ”NO”, but her voice started chocking .She somehow manged to give the answer and she said,”Yes, I am ready for the marriage”.Her mother got happy to know this answer and she immediately brought a plate full of curd and started forcing it with a spoon in her mouth and she kept saying,”Ladki ne hana ker di”.But Anubhuti was thinking that she was so lucky that her mother asked about her choice and decision.

Right Decision(Concluding Part)

Payal was not able to understand that what was causing her to think about Om again and again.It was Om’s presence or Brajesh’s absence that was making her to feel an intense attraction towards Om.While thinking about the past and the present,Payal fell asleep.In the morning, she got up early as she had to go to the office.She got ready and left her home around 8.30am.When she reached near the lift, she found the door of Om’s house closed.She wished that she could see Om.She did wait there for a minute hoping that Om’s timings for the office might be the same, but the door did not open.You really do many things absurd when you fall in love with someone.She just smiled at herself and thought that again she would have to keep track of his daily routine so that she could change her routine accordingly.In the office, there was lots of work and she did not get a single minute to think about Om.The whole week was very hectic for her at the office and she was returning late in the evening.So, the whole week she did not get much time to think about Om.Only she thought about him when she used to be near his flat’s door
But, today was Saturday again and Payal was feeling lazy.She had many household work, but she was not feeling to do all these work.She was again in the mood to think about Om.She wanted to see him more, to talk to him.She was working out the ways to increase the interaction between them.She thought that she should invite them for dinner tomorrow.She was happy with her plan.Next day, in the morning, she invited Om and Smita for dinner.They were happy to get the invitation.Smita started telling that they were in Delhi for a year and there nobody used to interact with their neighbours.Smita said that she was lucky to get such a sweet neighbour.Payal just smiled at her compliment and took a leave saying that she would wait for them in the evening.She went back to her flat and started deciding the menu.And by the evening, she prepared everything from soup to dessert.Now, it was time to get ready.She just wore a figure hugging blue jeans and a white shirt as she used to think that a woman looks sexiest and cool in a white shirt and a blue jeans.So, everything was ready.She lit some aroma candles and put on some light music to add charm to the ambience..Om and Smita wee there on time.They liked her house and its decoration.They just talked about the hectic life of Bombay where there is no time for anything else . She was just listening to them especially Om.Her eyes were more active than her ears.She was just frequently staring at Om.He was looking damn handsome today.During the conversation,Smita told Payal that Om used to leave for office around 8.15 in the morning and would come around 7.30 in the evening.Payal thought that it was an important information for her. They liked her dinner very much.Payal was not really satisfied by the meeting.She thought that though he liked the dinner, but her formula to win his heart through his stomach was not going to work here.She should take some bolder steps.She could not make out what to do next.Anyway,she had to stop thinking about Om for a while as there was a call from Brajesh.


Next morning, she thought that in the morning , she would try to return around 7.30 in the evening so that she might get a chance to meet OM in the lift.But, 4-5 days passed and she did not see Om.But,on Saturday when see was going for some shopping in the afternoon, she met him in the lift.They were all alone in the lift.Payal smiled at him and in returned he said hello to her.She asked him that  whether  he  was going somewhere.He ansewer ed that he was just going to nearby market for weekly shopping.Payal told that she was also going for shopping there and if he did not mind he could go with her in her car.Om accepted the offer.She was happy that now she would get some time to interact freely with him.In the car, Om asked about her professional life.She told about her office, work etc.In the conversation, she told that she had also done her pg from IT, BHU and she very well remembered him as he used to come to the Hanuman Mandir which was near her home.She told him all that in one go and asked him whether he recognised her or not.In his answer,Om just smiled and looked at her passionately.Payal got her answer.So, he also recognised her but was not showing his feelings.She was on cloud 9 after knowing this.Payal helped OM in his shopping and they talked to each other like they knew each other since ages.They exchanged their respective mobile no also.Payal told him that next week also she would go for shopping and if he wanted, he could join her.He smiled and said ok .After 2 hrs, she returned from the market with a fresh mood.She began waiting for their next meeting on the next Saturday.
But, after 2 days again they met in the lift and smiled each other.Now, Payal was again able to see the same emotions in his eyes.While she was looking in his eyes, suddenly lift came to a halt and there was immense darkness.Payal got scared.In reflex action, she just hold OM .Before he could understand anything,he just hold her tightly and in the next moment they started kissing each other passionately.The kissing session went for 2 minutes as power again came and lift started moving and in just a few seconds the lift reached at their floor.They came out of the lift and went to their respective flats without saying a word to each other.


Whole night, Payal could not sleep.She was thinking about Om and his kisses. She wanted that the session should not have stopped.She knew that now she would get more chances like this.She wanted to forget that she was married.She just wanted to be in his arms forever.She could do anything for this. On friday night she received a call from Om that tomorrow Om would wait for her near  her parking area at 12 o’clock and they would make some plan accordingly and he also said that he was dying to be with her..Payal agreed and next morning she got up early and do all the necessary things so that she could look beautiful.When she got ready she was just looking awesome.She then met Om in the parking area and Om was speechless for a moment after seeing her and then he just smiled and said nothing.His smile was more powerfull than his words.They decided to go to a beautiful garden where there used to be crowd of young couples and indeed they were also a young couple.They reached the garden and settled down under a tree where nobody could see them as moreover others were busy doing their activities.He just hold her in his arms and both started kissing each other passionately.Payal was feeling that she was in heaven.After a while,Om hands started moving to her other parts of the body too, suddenly his phone rang up.He picked up the phone.It was Smita and she told that she was not feeling well and asked him to return back from the market.
So, they returned back from the market(garden) immediately.Payal was upset as her day did not go as she wanted.Now, she would have to wait for the whole week or their next meeting and moreover she was not sure about the next week as some foreign delegates were coming to her office and she would hardly get time for other activities.And yes indeed,she was very busy for the next 10 days and during this period she was not getting time for anything else.She did not see Om either during this period.She did not receive any phone call from him.At home sometimes she thought of calling him up but somehow did not gather courage to call.
After the foreign delegates left,Smita was happy as she could now again concentrate on her new love life.It was saturday morning and she was unable to decide whether she should call him.She thought that it was better to visit his house.So, in the evening she went to his flat.Smita opened the door.She was looking a bit tense.Payal too became tense.She looked for Om, but it seemed to her that Om was not at home.Smita asked Payal that she could not see her for the past few days.Payal told about the foreign delegates and then Payal just asked about the reason of her being tense.She said she was not tense.Payal again asked her and said that she could share anything with her.Then she told her that next week they were leaving Bombay and were going to Madras as Om had got a new job there.Payal was just shocked and surprised and went blank for a moment,but she did not say anything.Smita told her that she was not ready to go there as she loved Bombay and there were many relative so she did not feel lonely in the city and moreover as she was now pregnant she would need her relatives more.Smita told her that she tried to convince Om but he was not listening and finally they would leave the city next week.After listening this, Payal left the place after making some excuse  and as soon as she reached her flat, her mobile started ringing .She picked up her mobile and it was Brajesh on the line.

Right Decision(Part-3)

So, Payal reached the temple in a hurry and found that no one was there.She knew that Om might reach there anytime.Her heart was beating faster as for the first time she was doing something like this.She just prayed for two minutes and began to return back and then she saw Ajay Jadeja coming .He was smiling at her only as if he just understood her plans and Payal stopped for a while to look into his eyes.She really loved to look into his eyes and for a moment she forgot everything.His eyes were like a huge sea of emotions and Payal wanted to swim in that sea.But, after a while Payal said to herself that now she should go home and she left the place promising herself that now she would visit the temple regularly.


Now, it became a regular practise for her to visit the temple in the evening to see her GOD’s lovely smile .Sometimes if she had to go somewhere in the evening,she used to feel like as if she had missed a very important thing that day .Sometimes, in collage also she used to get a chance to see him but somehow she did not get  the same pleasure.It was very pleasurable to watch him when he used to visit the temple.Both did not have courage to talk to each other but their eyes were doing all the talking.


It was conference time in the Chemical Engineering Department and Payal and her classmates were there as volunteers as their department was also a branch of chemical engineering.She was just distributing a souvenir and a bag to the participants.She was happy in doing this as she knew that Ajay would be there as he was a student of chemical engineering and today she would know his name as every participant was carrying his identity card around his/her neck.And yes, after a while she saw Ajay standing near her.She handed over the souvenir and the bag to him and smiled at him.This time he did not smile at her.She was very upset .She was expecting a great smile from him.But,instead of smiling, he became serious.She could not understand the reason but she was happy coz she now knew his name.She saw his identity card and now she knew that his name was Om Prakash.In the conference, the first lecture was of the IIFCO chairman and she did not want to miss the lecture.She entered the conference hall in time and after a while Ajay also came there and sat next to her.She looked at him.This time he smiled but did not say anything.She was feeling very differently as he was very close to him.Now, she forgot her anger as now again she was able to see him smiling.
She told to her friend that the real name of Ajay Jadeja was Om Prakash.Her friend started laughing.She said that it’s not his fault that he used to stare at her,but the problem was there with his name .She could not understand for a while.Then her friend remined her that how their Biotechnology teacher whose name was also Om Prakash used to praise her a lot.When she used to miss even a single Biotech class, he would inquire her about the reasons.But, for other student she was not even bothered.Pyal was his favorite student.On remembering all this,Payal also started laughing .
So, the smiling and staring session between Payal and Om Prakash continued for next 4-5 months.During this period Payal was feeling as if she was in some other world.But sometimes, she just used to wish that Om  could speak to her, could  express his love to her which was clearly visible in his eyes.But nothing like this happended between them. One day he saw that one of his classmates was talking to Om.When he finished his talking ,his classmate told that that fellow was a final year student and he got a job and would join his  job after his final year exam.His classmate was worried about their placements as the placement record of their department was  not very good.But, at that time Payal was worried due to a different reason.She knew that from the next week, she would not be able to see Om.Next week ,his exams would be over and he would leave the place for ever.But, she did not have courage to say anything to him Once or twice ,she thought of conveying her feelings to Om, but stopped herself as her father was a professor there and she did not want to take a step which would effect his father’s reputation.She also convinced herself that this might be the reason that Om too was not able to speak to her as he also knew that Payal was a Professor’s daughter and might be possible that he too did not want to take a chance.
So,now he was gone…but Payal did not stop visiting the temple in the evening .She knew that she would not be able to see him in future but she used to feel his presence in the temple.His beautiful smile…his beautiful eyes…all were there in the temple.Whewnever she was sad ,she would just remember his eyes filled with passion and she would be able to forgot all her tensions. She knew that she would not be able to see him again…but somehow his smile…his eyes touched her heart…her soul.
After completing her postgraduation, she too got a job in Delhi.She was enjoying her job.Sometimes she used to think that it might be possible that Om too was in Delhi as often students from her institute got jobs in Delhi or Bangalore.She just wanted to meet him again and often used to song the song,’AE AJNABI TU BHI KABHI AWWAZ DE KHANI SE’……but that ajnabi did not listen though Payal was in Delhi for the past 04 years.And now another ajnabi entered her life as she got engaged to a sotware engineer named Brajesh.After her marriage, Payal moved to Bombay and started enjoying her married life.Brajesh was very caring husband.But he did not believe in expressing his love in words….he would give her gifts,would take her out, but very rarely said ILU.Her friends used to say that she was lucky as their husbands would say ILU, but never gave any gifts to them.She was happy as she knew that nobody was perfect.During  this period she forgot about Om untill she saw him again.

Right Decision (Part 2)


In the morning,Payal got up late as it was Sunday.She was just making plans to visit Om’s house.She just thought that it would be proper to visit there in the evening.Afternoon passed very quickly as Payal was unable to decide that what she should wear in the evening and as we know women can spend hours in deciding their costumes for some special ocassions.Yes, for Payal it was a very special ocassion as she was going to meet the man who at one time was very special for her,and .in the end she decided that she would wear a sari for the evening and after investing one hour in selection of the sari,Payal finally got ready.She was looking beautiful as she wanted to look beautiful and sensous .She was wearing a yellow chiffon sari as yellow colour used to suit her a lot and with the sari,she was wearing a deep neck blouse and she had done a very light make up.


As she knocked the door,her heart was beating faster due to anxiety.His wife opened the door.Payal introduced herself and she invited her inside.Payal just made herself comfortable on the sofa and his wife sat nearby her.Payal asked her that if she needed any help.She said that at present she did not need anything but would surely tell her if she needed anythinthing in the future.She told that her name was Smita.She was a housewife.Payal looked around for Om,but could not see him anywhere in the house.She began to think that probably she had come at the wrong time.At that time only,Smita told her that Om had gone to his office as there was some urgent work and must be coming back.Payal was afraid for a moment that Smita probably read her mind.She thought that she should wait for him.


Smita was talking to her as if she was her old friend.She told Payal about everything like her life before marriage and what changes marriage brought into her life.She was married to Om since past three years and was very happy.Payal was litening her carefully.Payal knew that OM was a good husband material as she guessed it when she was infatuated towards him.Payal just began to think about those days and her thoughts were interupted by the knock at the door.Payal got happy as she knew that it must be Om.Smita got up to open the door and as she opened the door,Om tried to hold her in his arms but Smita managed to hint him about her and Om immediarely postponed his remontic plans and came in and said hello to her.She looked at him and responded in a very sweet manner.Om just smiled.Payal really loved his smile.She just kept staring at him for a moment then she looked at Smita and thought that how lucky she was.Smita went to make tea for all and Payal  kept talking to Om.He told that he was liking the flat and campus.Payal asked him about his education deliberately so that he could remember something about her.But, Om told her that he had done his engineering from IT,BHU without showing any emotions.He also told that he belonged to Kanpur.Now,Payal was sure that Om did not remember her.Meanwhile,Smita came back from kitchen with tea and after some more gossiping Payal came back to her house.


At home,Payal was feeling uneasy.She just wanted to see the same emotions for her in his eyes,.But Om even did not recognise her.All this was hurting her a lot.While she was thinking about her visit to Om house,her mobile phone rang and it was Brajesh’s call from USA.She picked the phone and Brajesh told her that he had reached there safely and asked her to take care.She talked to him for 10 min and when she hang up she began thinking that why she wanted Om to recognise her and to show feelings for her.Was she not satisfied with her married life with Brajesh?.Brajesh was very loving and caring, but he never used to express his love in words or not even through his eyes.He would help her in kitchen, would take her out for movies,dinner,but rarely say ‘ILU’ or look at her in a very loving way.Sometimes, you need your partner to be more expressive.


Unlike Brajesh, Om eyes used to do all the talkings.You would be able to read all his heart through his eyes…very very expressive eyes..Parul used to sing ‘Jeevan Se Bhari Teri Ankhee Mjboor kere Jeena ke liye’for his eyes.


Payal went back to her post graduation days and started thinking of the day when she first saw him.It was the time when she had just completed her B.Tech from a regional Engineering collage and she was planning to do M.Tech and luckly her GATE percentile was also gud and she got admission in I.T., BHU.Payal was more than happy as now she would go back to her home and complete her post graduation there as her father was professor there and her family used to live in BHU campus.Earlier her family used to live in an independent quarter, but recently had shifted to a newly built flat and there were 6 families living in that building and there were many girls of her age group and in the evening they used to gather and enjoy among themselves.In the front of her flat there was a Hanuman Mandir where many people used to come for worshiping the God.Payal usually did not believe in visiting temples for worship,she did not need an idol to concentrate.If she wanted to remember God,she would close her eyes for two minutes.Anyway,one day she was sitting with her friend who used to live on the ground floor of her flat,then only she pointed out at a guy who was just coming out of the temple and told that the guy used to come daily and very frequently he used to moop the floor of the temple.Payal looked at him disinterestingly and then resumed talking to her friend.


And in her institute everything was new to her as the culture was different from her previous collage and there were only 5 students in her descipline and so she was feeling somewhat lonely but one relief was there that one of her friends at her previous collage was also there,so usually she used to talk to Abha only .One day after her classes, she was just sitting with her friend on the staircase which was in front of her classroom and at that time a group of boys passed by .Her friend pointed out at a guy saying that he was resembling ‘AJAY JADEJA’ .Parul looked at him .He was tall dark handsome boy and at that time he was playing with his keys.He smiled at Payal, but Payal ignored him.There were many boys in the institiutes and girls students were very few and some boys were really smart, but Payal was not really interested in all these things as she was an average looking girl and she used to think that boys took interest in beautiful girls only.After some days, she saw Ajay Jadeja in her institute library.He was staring at her only.Payal somehow liked the way he was staring at her and this time she noticed that his eyes were really very expressive and full of emotions and was having a very lovely smile.She guessed that he was a student of B.Tech IV year as it was placement time for final B.Tech students and she had seen him near the placement office .But somehow Payal felt that she had seen the guy somewhere else also but she did not remember exactly where she had seen him earlier.


Now, every other day she would see the guy either in the corridor or in the library and each time she would try to recall that where she had seen him but she was unable to rembember .One day her friend caught him staring at Payal.Abha told that Ajay Jadeja was staring at her and she said ‘YAAR TUMHE KITNE PYAR SE DEKHTA HAI’.Payal really felt happy after hearing her friend’s comments.The next day, she was just standing in her balcony and just she saw Ajay Jadeja coming out of the temple and yes then she remembered that he was the same guy who used to moop the floor of the temple.Then she started keeping track of his visits to the temple so that she could know if there was any fixed time of his visits.and after 3-4 days of data collection, she came to know that usually he used to come there between 5-6 pm.Now, she also decided that from the next day she would also visit the temple regurlarly in the evening. .How your love interest can change your habits.Suddenly she started believing in idol worship…ha ha ha.


The next day after coming from the institute at 4 pm, she did not change her dress and after drinking tea she just sat in the balcony.Actually her flat was at the 3rd floor and you can see a wide view of the road which was in front of her house.So, at 5.30 pm, she saw Ajay Jadeja coming and she immediately went in her dressing room and hurridely combed her hair and saw herself in the mirror to check that everything was looking alright .Accidently her mother was in the dressing room and when she saw her daughter getting ready in a hurry, she immediately asked her that where she was going.Payal was just thinking that how mothers anticipate things when their daughters are upto something which they are not supposed to .Anyway she told her that she was going to the temple.Her mother again said that ‘TUM KAB SE MANDIR JANE LAGI’.Payal immediately said,’AAJ SE’ .

Right Decision(Part-1)

As every Saturday,this Saturday also Payal woke up late.She had nothing to do much.Just to make breakfast for herself and then she would decide that how she was going to spend her Saturday.Her office was 5 days a week and so was Brajesh’s office.They really used to enjoy their Saturdays..watching movies…eating out etc, etc.But this Saturday Payal was all alone because Brajesh had gone to USA last night for 3 months on a project.She did not know what she was going to do without him for 3 months.She was not habituated to the situation as this was the first time Brajesh had left her for such a long period since their marriage.But Payal knew that she had to keep herself busy in some extra curricular activities.
While making breakfast she was just thinking about Brajesh and was humming the song,’Lambi Judaai’…and then only her song was interrupted by the door bell.Payal just put the knob of her cooking range on Sim and went to check who was there on the door.For safety purpose there were two doors for the main entrance.The first door was made of total wood and the next one was having net in maximum of its area.Payal just opened the first door and found a young handsome man standing behind the second door .The man introduced himself as her new neighbour and he just wanted drinking water as he had shifted in the morning and his aqua guard was not installed yet.Payal just stepped ahead to get a close look of the man and she immediately told herself that he was Om.His full name was Om Prakeash.But Payal used to call him Ajay Jadeja(you will know the reasons later on).Payal was sure that Om did not recognise her because as usual the memory of a man is very short termed and it’s women who love to remember all the things, all the affairs in their life,even if many of them were infatuations.She was not even sure whether Om knew her name or not.
Payal opened the second door and invited him to sit but he refused the offer saying that his wife was  waiting for him in the new flat and next time he would come with his wife and he just handed over the large jug he was holding.Payal filled the jug with water and returned it to him and asked his name as he did not told his name.He apologised for not telling his name earlier and said that his name was Om Prakash and he worked for infosys.So,Payal thought that her guess was right and she also told her name but there was no reaction on his face.
After Om left,her thoughts shifted to Om from Brajesh.She did not like the fact that Om did not recognise her,but convinced herself that when Om never ever talked to her then how he was supposed to remember her.But again Payal thought that even she did not talk to him but she did remember him till date.Anyway Payal was thinking that Om had not changed much.He was looking smart as usual and his expressive eyes and smile were the same.She just used to love his smile and the way he used to look at her.His eyes were so full of emotions that you could read his heart through them and Payal just used to forget herself whenever she looked up into his eyes.Payal was really excited to see him again after 7 years and she never imagined that she would meet him again and would get a chance to talk to him.
So, the whole night she just thought of him and next morning when she got up she decide to pay him a visit at his house to know more about him and his family.

Strange Ways(Concluding Part)

Next morning,I did not feel like going to office,and was very depressed.I was also worrying that persons sitting at the back of my bus might had heard all the things and they would spread all the story with adding spices to it and moreover I did not want to face him.I told all the happenings to my best friend,Neha.She only suggested me that I should go to office and  should take things as nothing had happened.So,I agreed to Neha’s suggestions and went to office.While sitting in the bus,my eyes met his eyes twice and he was looking very serious.I decided that that now I would not talk to him and would not stare at him anymore.

But,your mind becomes weak where your heart is involved.After 2 or 3 days of the incident, in the evening ,I was sitting alone in the bus and was waiting for others and Subhash was the first person who came and he sat in front of my seat .I was just looking outside.At that time, a man came near our bus.He wanted some donations for a temple which was being built nearby.We both gave some money to him.He made only one receipt for both of us and told that he had made a joint receipt and he handed over the receipt to me.Human mind really interprets things in the way it wants to.Actually again I began to believe my intuition that GOD wanted us to see togeher, so the man made a joint receipt unconsciously.And I don’t remember exactly but Subhash said something to me And I again started talking to him.If you really love a person, you tend to forget your ego.So, again our ’staring sessions’ started.So,my belief about my marriage was getting stronger as days were passing by.I believed that GOD had sent Subhash again in my life and he would do something and one day Subhash would be mine.I was just waiting for that moment to come.For the first time, I felt the pain involved in the process of waiting for something to happen.Ever moment I was thinking about all these things.I told about my intuition to some persons who were closer to me and they started laughing at  me.I was so sure about my intuition that I stopped talking to them.Slowly days were passing by and nothing more was happening.In all the process I was very much mentally disturbed and my concentration was really affected.I was not able to work properly at my office.I was so engrossed in all these things that I could not realise that my professional life was at stake.When I realised about this,it was really very late.

It was time of our appraisals and one day my boss called me up to fill up my appraisal form.While handing over the form to me, he asked me that if I was having some personal problem.I was really surprised by his sudden question.He told me that he was watching me for the past 3 months and had noticed that I had become really slow and he was not happy with my performance.It was like I had opened my eyes after a deep slumber.I realised that my personal life had effected my professional life up to a great extent.After that, I tried to concentrate on my professional life and started avoiding Subhash.But at the back of my mind,he was always there.Every moment I was waiting for something to happen so that I could get him.My mental state was deteriorating fast.Everybody started noticing it.Important projects were not given to me.Only I was doing marginal work.My boss was pressurizing me to tell the problem.I really did not want to involve him.Slowly, one year passed by in waiting and nothing happened.Daily I used to see him.I really wanted to touch him, to talk to him.Then I realised that if I was going to stay in the same company and in the same city for some more days,I would land up in a mental asylum.So,I started giving interviews in other companies.But, there also I faced failures as I could not perform well due to my mental illness.Finally I decided to quit my job and go back to my home town.(the same way as Amisha decided to leave for India when she met Hrithik-2).At that moment, I just wanted mental peace.So,I was back home.

For a week, I remained in a deep depression. and was unable to understand that why all these things happened to me.(WHY ME SYNDROME).I just began to introspect myself as it is said that ‘if you loose, don’t loose the lesson’.Yes, I lost everything…my job…my mental peace…everything.I thought God wanted me to teach a lesson.But what was the lesson?I should find out on my own.Then I realised about the lesson.
I did not ever accepted Subhash marriage.He was always there in my mind.He was a part of my life.Frequently, I used to imagine that he was sitting with me and I was talking to him.So, as it is said that ‘everything that’s coming into your life, you are attracting into your life.And it’s attracted to you by virtue of the images you are holding in your mind.
Yes, through my thoughts, I attracted him again in my life.GOD sent him again in my life just to tell that he never belonged to me…never ever….if you don’t get a thing…it never belonged to you.
In fact,my constant thinking about him might be effecting his life too.I should have gathered courage to accept the reality…that he was married now.I should have forget him.I was still single and I was not letting anyone to come in my life as there was no vacant space in my heart for a new relationship.My heart was filled with his memories only.Yes,this was a great lesson…though he taught me the meaning of love,but I must extend this love to the person who is made for me.I decided to forget him…I know it was difficult……but now I really don’t think much about him as I really paid a heavy price to learn the lesson.

 I have written this story for  those who were deeply in love with someone, but due to certain reasons were not able to get their lover …just i want to say to them that they should feel happy that they experienced love through that person, but now they should not think about the past .It may be possible that they may find a person who is more loving and caring.
So, it is quite possible that the person made for me may be reading this story….for him only I have written the story .now my heart, my soul is waiting for him only….haaa…just joking.

(I hope you people like the story….wait for another true story…till then bye).

Strange Ways(Part-4)

I had to attend Subhas’s marriage though my heart was totally broken.I found his wife to be very simple and sweet girl.In a way,I was happy for him.She seemed to be more deserving.But, when you really love someone, you want to give him/her happiness and by doing this you yourself feel so happy and this happiness is incomparable and I just lost this chance forever.
After his marriage, he visited my home only twice for some personal reasons and after that he stopped coming to my home.I somehow could not accept the reality.For me, he was not married.He was still in my heart, in my brain, in my life….TERA NA HONA BHI HONA HI THA….Actually, if one calculates the time we spent together it would hardly add up to 24 hrs.Much time I did spend with his memories(tum hote to aise hota….tum is baat per haste…tum hote to waisa hota….) and now also I was doing the same thing.I was living with his memories.

But now things started changing as once again I had seen him physically in the form of this duplicate Subhash.And I was not really satisfied with one time staring session.I used to think that how Subhash was satisfied with this one time staring session that too being a man.I really wanted to talk to him, wanted to see him more(YEH DIL MAANGE MORE).I just prayed to GOD that he should make some arrangements so that I could get a chance to see him more. For the first time GOD accepted my demand without any delay.

Just after some days,he changed his residence and started living in an area which was covered by the bus which I used to take.Now, we were getting more chances of interacting with each other and to stare at each other.Earlier I used to keep quite in my bus and my favorite pass time was to look outside from the window as I was not interested in participating all the happenings which used to take place inside the bus.But after Subhash’s special entry in my life and also in my bus all things began to change…I started caring about my looks..my appearance, I changed my hair style,I started using contact lenses,and moreover I started laughing and talking in the bus, my personality was changing faster…love is so magical,it can transform your personality.

But, after a moth when Subhash joined my bus, I began to experience some strange things which never happened before.I was having a very strong intuition that I would be married to Subhash only.Some voice in my head was constantly telling me that I would get married to him only and I was really very disturbed and the voice was saying that I should tell him also.For a month I could not eat properly, I could not sleep properly.I was not able to make out of all these things.And as I was interested in palmistry, I used to study my hands also and I found a new line was developing in my left hand,but I was unable to read that line.
Anyway,in the bus Subhash was once again insisting me to read his hands and this time I wanted to   re vise my knowledge by reading a book on palmistry and so Itold him that I would read his hands after revising my knowledge.After his continuous requests, one day I bought a book on palmistry from a famous book store and when I opened the book for reading, the very first page Ilooked at was having a description for intuition lines and the there were a few diagrams for intuition lines.One of the diagrams fpor the lines was exactly the same as the line on my hand which developed recently on my hand.I immediately started reading the description for that line .The description said that persons who were having this line might be having some intuition which could be right.I was shocked and immediately I started believing my intuition and I decided to give a hint to Subhash also.After reading the book for 3-4 days,I read subhash hands and told him all the things which I could read and I said to him that very soon a girl would come in his life ..He insisted that I should give more details, but I asked him to wait for 3-4 days.But he became restless after this and after one day of his hand reading session, he once again insisted that I should give him more hints for the girl.I told that in the evening I  would give some more hints.In the evening in the bus, he again reminded me about my promise.I told him that I would tell him when there would be less crowd in the bus as there were many members of the same stop.As soon as the stop came, he said to me that now I should tell him as now very few persons were in the bus.I was sitting next to him in a RTV.On our front seat, a girl from marketing(named Sukhmeet) was sitting and on back seats only 2-3 persons were there.As I began telling him,the girl on the front seat said that she also wanted to listen the details. As I am an open person(yes, I am as I have boldness to tell my true story…..haaaa),so I told her that she could join our conversation too.I told him that the girl who would come in his life was badly needed him and she was not happy with her life and he was the person who would give all the happiness to her.As soon as I completed my sentence, Sukhmeet said it seemed to her that the girl was sitting straight in front of her.For a moment, Subhash could not get the point, but when he realised about the reality, he started shouting that he did not believe in love marriage and he believed in arranged marriage only and it was just an ipposible thing to happen.He was very angry and was shouting like anything.I felt like crying but I realised that my stop had come and I stepped out of the bus.When I entered in my room, I immediately started crying. So, I was rejected again and I was just a time pass for him…..just a time pass.

STRANGE WAYS(PART-3)

                                   


          


                              STRANGE WAYS(PART-3)               



So, after Subhash’s visit to my bus, I also started taking part in the ’staring sessions’ with equal interest,and very soon it became a regular routine for us to stare at each other once in the canteen and that too for a very very short time (though I was not liking this short period…but Subhash seemed to control his feelings) .My commitment level towards him increased when I came to know that his full name was Subhash Chandra.Yes, the name of the original hero of my life was also Subhash Chandra.The day I came to know about this, I was really surprised and shocked by the coincident.I became very disturbed by all the things.Now my heart, my brain everything was captured by him only….but my soul was constantly telling me that I should not go after such momentry  pleasures…and more over he was not the original one.Once or twice I tried to come out of all these things….but was not successful….as there was so much resemblance.


One thing, I really liked about this duplicate Subhash was his simplicity and down to earth attitude.In this way, he was resembling more to the ’simplified version’ of the original Subhash.
To know the simplified version of ‘original Subhash’ I must tell you about him.


So, now the story goes back to the time when I was just 7  years old and living at my home town in a rented house.One night ,I wake up due to some disturbances and I saw a truck downloading near my home.I asked my mother about all this.She told me that the house owner family had come to live next to our house as that portion also belonged to them.I was happy as the portion was vacant for the past one moth.Slowly, I got acquainted with the family members of my house owner .He had 3 sons and one daughter.One of his sons used to visit our house frequently as very soon he became friend with my cousin who was also living with us.Both were of the same age group.He used to talk with me also.He always talked to me in a very very sweet manner.I liked this very much.At that time he was preparing for engineering entrance exams and used to study a lot.But, he had a peculiar habit.He used to study while keeping his radio on and he could not study if somebody would put off his radio.To tease him, I used to put off his radio often, but he would silently move the knob and used to put it on and this off and on sessions would go on for 5-10 minutes and during the on-off sessions, he never used to get irritated, he never scolded me, he never said anything to me….somehow this thing touched my heart, it touched my soul…though I was just a child….but a child also recognises  love.On my 8th birthday, he said that he wanted to give me a gift that I would never forget for the rest of  my life(but He never gave that gift..I am still waiting).
Yaar, good things in life last for very short time.He got selected in a very prestigious engineering collage and went out of the city.After six months,he came back during his semester break.He was totally changed.Earlier he was a very simple, down to earth person,but now he became very stylish,all his simplicity was gone and was overtaken by self-confidence and a bit of arrogance.Now,he was speaking in English only and no Hindi.I could not digest his metamorphosis.One thing still remained unchanged and it was his nature towards me, it was still the same manner filled with love and sweetness.
After 3 or 4 days, he went back.Meanwhile we also moved to a new house in a different colony.Now, his visits to our house were restricted to only once or twice in a year.I used to tease him for various things, and He would just laugh.I loved to see him laughing.I loved the style yaar.For the whole year , I would wait for his next visit.I could not realise that I had fallen in love with him as I was too young or I think that the beauty of true love is that you don’t realise that you have fallen in love, all your actions come from your heart and they are very natural.
One thing was still there, I used to miss his simplified version as I fell in love with his simplicity, down to earth attitude and used to search for these qualities in his updated version.


I realised that I have fallen in love when I was in 11th class, and  at  that time I realise one thing more that our love was not practical as there was 11 years of age difference between us and I would never get him.I was sure that he also loved me, though we never said anything to each other , but all was understood.Yet ,I used to plan sometimes that once I would get a seat in a medical collage, I would definitely propose him.All my plans were shattered when our family got an invitation card of his marriage.

Strange Ways(Part-2)

                                 STRANGE WAYS(PART-2)

 

I was really impressed by his walking style and and the way he was carrying himself  looked very familiar.The HR person introduced him to me and told that his name was Subhash and he would be talking care of all the matters related to taxes and medical bills.I handed over the bills to him and afterwards he started talking to his boss and I was just staring at him and just watching him working at his desk and all this was a reflex action and somehow his image was captured by my subconscious mind and at that point I did not realise all these things as my conscious mind was really preoccupied with many problems( a broken engagement….office politics…alone in a new city etc etc.)and was certainly not interested in guys at that time and  very soon I forgot about the encounter as there were many things which were keeping me busy.

Meanwhile my company built up a new building nearby and some of the departments including HR shifted to the new building.In the new building, the company had started a new canteen also.I heard from some people that the canteen was very good and food provided there was awesome.So, one day I went to check  it myself and really the canteen was looking like a 3star hotel’s restaurant and I immediately decided to join it as I was really not liking the food provided by the ‘dabbawala’. So, in their lunch time I used to go to the new building with one of my colleagues and I was quite satisfied with the food provided.I was very happy with my decision. At that time I was not knowing that the canteen was going to play a major role in my  life.Anyway,one day after finishing my lunch,I washed my hands and just turned back to make an exit and during this I noticed that a guy sitting on a nearby table was staring at me.I immediately recognised him.He was Subhash.I really liked the way he was staring at me.But I was really surprised by his action.I thought that how a man could stare at me like this.At that time , I was really in a very bad shape. I was very fat,having a very-very bad hair style and to add to my beauty,I used to wear glasses.I thought that this man did not have a good choice regarding girls.Next day, again I noticed him that he was staring at me and I also enjoyed his staring and this  continued for next 2-3 days.

In my office, we had pick and drop facility and there were 10 buses that used to cover different routes.One fine evening , as I was  just sitting in my bus and waiting or my fellow passangers to come ,I saw Subhash stepping in my bus and he told that he had some work in South extension area  so he would go by this bus today .He  just  sat  next  to me   and after some  intial  hitch  we started  talking .My  interest is in  palmistry ,so I read his hands and in return  he  also read my hands.The time went by so quickly in his company and when I  reached my hostel, I was just thinking of Subhash.Subhash was so similar to ‘HIM’. Subhash’s height, Subhash’s face, Subhash’s walking style and Subhash’s laughing style were really very similar to ‘HIM’.I really used  to like his  laughing  style and  for  the past 10 years  I have missed him so much. .It’s ok , life moves on , but at the back of my mind he was always present..It was  like  ’TERE BINA JINDAGI SE KOI SIKWA NAHI, TERE BINA JINDAGI BHI LEKIN JINDAGI NAHI’.After  so many years I was watching a person  laughing  like ‘HIM’.I forgot to tell one more similarity …….even  their  names were similar (at  that  time  I did not know the title of this new Subhash.)And while calculating the similarities and dissimilarities points between the two persons,I immediately remembered Rishi’s words .So, now ‘KAHOO NA PYAAR’ had just  began  in my life  .Yaar, in that movie names were at least different(Rohit and RAJ) and here the first name was also  similar(it seems that GOD did  not  want  himself  to be   called as  a  ’COPY CAT’,  so  he kept  the name also similar ….GOOD).
