I SAY WHAT I FEEL...

Broken Friendship stings...

noreply@blogger.com (Jammy) — Sat, 05 May 2012 19:19:00 +0000

Has this ever happened to you? A friend you hadn't spoken to in a while and you accidentally run into each other. You'll look at each other for a moment and then memories would flood you. Y0u would not know what to say, where to begin, you would talk and then move on with a promise to catch up soon. Isn't it funny, two people who were once inseparable just can't find words to talk??

Friendship is one of the most beautiful two people share. And we make abundant of them in every phase of life. And in the time of facebook, we make friends in tonnes..! We met today and by the night you have been added to list. Today, we are friends with person we have never met, we talk with person whom we have never seen. We live in the times where a person may have 500 friends online but may commit suicide because of loneliness. Friendship is starting to lose its very foundation...

But among all this, sometime, you come across people with whom you feel happy. And before you know, you become best of friends and can't think of your life without him or her. And quotes like this starts to make sense...

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile... But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me.

But as with everything in life things get messed up. And the person who was so close to you suddenly could not be found anywhere near. The friendship you valued so much does not exist anymore. Often when you think about it, you wonder what went so wrong that two of you can no longer stand each other. How a friendship in which there was no space for sorry or thank you got so bitter? How all of it changed and you never realized ? The reasons could be many but whenever you look back and remember the times,

We always thought we'd look back on our tears and laugh, but we never thought we'd look back on our laughter and cry.

there would be a feeling of regret over those failed friendship. There would be pain of missing out a great friend. There would be heart-aches, an aching guilt that would plague you forever. And believe me, a lost friend, a broken friendship hurts like hell. Whatever you may do, whatever you may try, you would not be able to let go of it. You may forget about it in the daily errands of life but the guilt, the pain would always return.

Broken friendship stings...

The agony of losing a friend

Eats you up from the inside

For not knowing what you did wrong
They do not care to respond back
Even after you have tried so many times

You have given up, but thinking hasn't

Where was it that you went wrong?

Not being able to find the answer

Ever

For the memory of that last conversation

Haunts you forever...

Heart broken and gloomy is how you feel.

So if you have a friend with whom you've fought for some reason or have simply lost touch due to your busy schedule, then it is time to give them a call or meet up. Life is too short to hold grudges and harbor bitterness. Cherish the people who have been with you and are always with you. Friends are always friends no matter what, every friendship goes through its good and bad phases, but remember the broken ones haunts you forever.

We all lose friends.. we lose them in death, to distance and over time. But even though they may be lost, hope is not. The key is to keep them in your heart, and when the time is right, you can pick up the friendship right where you left off. Even the lost find their way home when you leave the light on. ~ Amy Marie Walz

So, don't wait, don't let it happen to you. Pick the phone and call them, meet up and let them know they were always remembered because,

the worst solitude is to be destitute of sincere friendship. ~ Sir Francis Bacon

Love Story 2.0: Definitely more

noreply@blogger.com (Jammy) — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 12:15:00 +0000

This is the second part of, Love Story 2.0.
You can find the first part here, Love Story 2.0: Friend or something more??

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, what is it that you wanted to say? And why could not you tell it to me over phone?? What is it??" asked Priyanka
"Hmm..."
"Rahul, Tell me. What happened??"
"Priyanka, I have been thinking..."
"Thinking what??"
"Okay, listen. You have been a constant companion for me. You have always been there for me no matter what happened. You helped me with my studies, with my health, and everything. There were times when I was lost in my own world but you ever complained. You were always the same for me, a caring and loving friend. But as time passed you became much more. Yes, you were a friend but a special one. You became much more, much much more. Priyanka, would you let me to take our friendship a step forward? Would you be my girlfriend?

He looked up just in time to find Priyanka smashing his face hard and thus waking up Rahul from his slumber. He looked at clock and realized he was, once again, late for college.

It had been three months since Rahul realized his feelings for Priyanka were not limited to being just friends. For him, Priyanka was someone who has changed his life, someone he care about most, and someone who meant more than anything to him. He tried to ignore his feelings but they didn't subdue. He tried to avoid her, stopped picking her calls, stopped replying to her messages and everything else, but he can't stop thinking about her. He just can't. And finally he decided to have a talk with Priyanka.

But he was scared to approach her directly. He didn't want to ruin his friendship. But also what he could see was by not confessing his feelings, their friendship was getting affected. He could not make up his mind on what to do and what not to do. So he decided to leave the decision to universe. If they were meant to be together, they would be together. 23rd December was the date he decided to seek his answers from universe.

23rd December 2011
For the first time in months, Rahul reached college on time. (1-0, positive sign leading negative). And as soon as he entered class, he collided with Priyanka who was looking for Miss Monika to submit the assignment, much like the way when they first met all those years ago (2-0). On returning home, he read his horoscope ...Love is on cards..... (3-0). He was very much sure that universe had spoken up and he and Priyanka are meant to be together.

"Yes, we are meant to be together.” And he jumped with joy...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

23rd December 2011
Priyanka has been trying to connect to Rahul for over 10 hours now, but he was not picking his call. She has left hundreds of messages but there was no reply. And she was getting restless thinking, where is he? Can't he just answer once? Where he is so much busy that he would not even reply to her?? Don't I deserve a message at least. (Little she knew, at this very same time, Rahul was trying to come to terms about his new found feelings for her.)
Thinking it all, she called up, Ananya a common friends of theirs. And thus she narrated the entire episode to ananya. How she had been trying to reach Rahul but to no avail. And lately it has become a frequent phenomenon. How it looks to her that he is no longer interested in being friends with her, let alone best friends. And she started crying...

Ananya, like a Zen master, tried to counsel her,
"So, what?? He must be busy, and if you really feel he is ignoring you, you do the same. Just ignore him and forget him. He doesn’t deserve your friendship".
"No, I can't ignore him. He is rahul, my best friend."
"Don't worry, you would find someone else. It is clear by his behavior. he does not want you anymore. You are just someone who was part of his life and clearly he has moved on. Dear forget him. He’s gone."
"How can I forget him so easily? How could I forget someone with whom I have been forever? How could I forget a person whose mere thought bring a smile on my face? How could I forget a person who is my friend, my companion, my everything? How ananya? HOW?"
"Priyanka? What are you saying? Is he more than a friend?"

Priyanka with tears in her eyes, for the first time confessed her feelings for rahul to someone. For the first time since that fateful day in 2009, she told the truth about her feelings. For the first time, she let her heart talk.

"I don't know since when I started to like him, I don't know how it happened, I don't know when he became much more than just a friend. I don't know. What I know is my love for him and I can't forget him. I just can't." said Priyanka.

Ananya was dumbstruck, she knew rahul was someone special for Priyanka but this special, she never knew. She asked priyanka, "Do rahul know?"

"No, he has no idea."
"You got to tell him priyanka. Just tell him."
“Listen I know it’s’ tough. But this is something you got to do. You got to let him know. Believe me, this is the best thing to do.”
“But how? How do I do it?”"This is something you got to think yourself. I can't help you with this."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rahul was over cloud nine. He had finally decided to convey his feelings to Priyanka. Also he has decided when he’s going to confess his love for Priyanka, the 24^th February 2012, three years since he first met her. And at the same time he was worried how she is going to react but now he was clear. He’s going to let her know and then leave everything on universe.And thus began another tedious job, how to tell it to her? Should he go down on a knee? Or should he write a letter. Should he ask her out over a phone or just hold her hands and tell her? He was confused, worried but finally knew what to do. He looked himself in the mirror and told himself,

“So, 24^th it is.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally priyanka smiled and thanked ananya before keeping the phone down. She decided to tell rahul about her feelings on the same date they met, the 24^th February. And she told herself,

“So, 24^th it is.”

Love Story 2.0: Friend or something more??

noreply@blogger.com (Jammy) — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 20:42:00 +0000

"And you are coming with us to Goa, right??"
"hmmm, have not though of it, would confirm you by night". So, Rahul ends the call, still waiting for a universe sign that could help him decide upon his for Goa. And suddenly, he watches the news on television, showing mass killing in Goa. Now, he was decided, the universe has given him the sign, he is not going to Goa.

Rahul, 22, was in his final year in college pursuing B.Tech. He was a firm believer of Universe and tell all signs, and whenever faced with a dilemma, he would leave his decisions onto universe. It has worked so far and he hoped it would continue to work for him. As he was on crossroads in his life and looking for some answers from universe. No, it was not the obvious, 'Post Graduation or Job', question which a final year B. Tech student is expected to be worried about. The question was much more complicated, it didn't involve a job or a M.Tech degree, it involved Priyanka, his best friend and their friendship or something more..!

2009
Rahul was in his third semester when he first met Priyanka, a lateral entry student to their class. She was this petite girl with gentle face and over-expressive eyes. Her hair always in a tangled mess tied back and a smile pasted on her face with confused expressions. It was like calmness of sea mixed with the falling waterfall. Her confused state was the reason why Rahul and she met for the first time.

Priyanka : "Excuse me, could you tell me to whom exactly do we have to submit the assignment?"
Rahul : "With Miss Monika, the Embedded Faculty."
"And where can I find her?"
"She must be in her cabin. The first cabin on the right in ECE department".
"ECE department...??"
"Hehe, You are so dumb...! Come, I would show you. By the way, I am Rahul."
"Hi, myself Priyanka..."

And thus started a new phase in Rahul's life. A phase which involved Priyanka, a phase that started without consulting with the universe, a phase where he took a decision on his own, the decision to be friends with Priyanka.

Rahul and Priyanka both hit off instantly. Both of them shared interests in having fun, watching films and talking endlessly over random things. They could be often found sitting in the college lawns talking about latest movie or in canteen arguing over the best 'samosas' in Delhi or near the metro station talking intellectual over a cup of roadside mocha or in the classes just sitting together and talking with silent winks and smiles. It was going great and for them friendship was finally personified. And then...

And then, one fine day sitting with a bunch of friends, (Yes, they had other friends too..!!), the dark clouds gathered and lighting struck as one witty fellow in the group singled them out as love birds. "Rahul and Priyanka, two person so much in love that they don't know life exist beyond the other person", this was what that fellow said. What??

"Rahul is just a friend..."...
"Priyanka, Priyanka, Priyankaaa.. ??? Neah, Neah, Neahhhhhh...." said Rahul.

Both of them later laughed over it but the cogs had started to move. Now, the equations have changed, it was not the same between them. They were best friends, yes. But they could be more, more than just friends. Both of them refused the thought to come in their mind, laughed it over, tried to forget it. But whatever they did, the thought lingered in their minds. "Is Rahul/Priyanka more than just a friend..?"...

Months later, the things have faded out. Both of them still were best friends, still spent hours together, first with each other and later on the phone. Still chats over a cup of coffee or a plate of samosas continued. And the thought was forgotten as a joke.

2nd August 2011
Gooooooood Morning..!!!
And Rahul was awake as his alarm clock again screamed, Gooooooood Morning...!! Out of habit, his hands traveled to his mobile to check for any messages or missed calls.

7 missed calls.
1 unread message.

More specifically, it was seven missed calls from Priyanka. He instantly called back but the phone was switched off. He tried again but no luck. He was worried so he tried for her land-line, but no one picked the phone. Now, he was scared. What could have happened? Why is she not picking the phone? He was cursing himself for not waking up. He cursed his cellphone for not being louder. How could he have slept when his phone rang? It was not one call but seven. And he didn't wake up. Now his thoughts were scaring the hell out of him. He kept on trying her phone but no response.

Again and again the same screen flashed in front of him, 7 missed calls. What could have been so urgent that she called him 7 times? He called to every friend of theirs but no one had any news of her. It had been an hour when he could not take it anymore so he drove to her house.

Standing on her gate, he though of giving her one more call. He took out his cellphone, unlocked it, and was about to call her, when a message came. It was some random message from his network carrier. But this made him notice another unread message on his device. It read -

"Hey Rahul, I am going to meet my cousins in Nanital and would be returning back after two weeks. See you later, Priyanka... :)"

He felt relieved and then laughed over himself for acting like a fool. And went back.

Later in the college he was narrating his experience to a friend of him, Paras. And Paras gave him a cheeky smile. On Rahul's constant niggling, he finally said," See man, for someone like you who always keep his phone on silent, missed calls is a daily phenomenon. There have never been a time when you had picked your cell on first ring. 4/5 missed calls is like normal. But you have never acted like this. Okey, she's your best friend and you were worried for her but still rushing to her home? Don't you feel it's more than just a friend?". And saying this Paras walked away, leaving Rahul engrossed in his own thoughts. And now Rahul realized, Priyanka was something more. She was special and she was not only her best friend but something more...

Formula One returns

noreply@blogger.com (Jammy) — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 20:29:00 +0000

Formula One, the best in Motorsport (I say this with fear of being criticized..!) returns for its latest season. F1 2011 was one of the least exciting season due to over dominance of Red Bull and Vettel. But this year with some change in rules, it is expected to be more of a level playing field. Or at-least so has been the picture that has been painted in winter testing. Red Bull and Mclaren have looked strong, Ferrari seems to struggle and Mercedes and Lotus (Former Renault) could prove to be the surprise of the year. Going a little further, midfield is as tight as it has ever been with Force India, Sauber, Torro Rosso all fighting neck to neck and all ready to give the top teams a run for money.

2012 season is critical in various regards:

Being the last year in Michael Schumacher's contract after his return, it would be nice to see whether the seven time world champion could bring some cheer to his fans at the age of 42. And if yes, would we see more of him as a racer after this season?
Fellipe Massa gas been under tremendous pressure to perform and with Ferrari again failing to give their drivers a winning car (so as it seems for now), it looks tough for Massa.
2012 also marks the return of Kimi Raikonen, the Ice man. It would be nice to see how his second stint as a F1 driver goes. I for one would be surely cheering for him.

There are many other reason that gives this season prime importance. But what F1 fans are expecting is some nice, on the limit racing and no over dominance of a team or a driver. Also what we would really like to see is championship being decided on the skills of a driver and his engineering team and not on the bank balance of the team owner.

So tomorrow at 5 PM, Australia, we would see Formula One marking a return with the first grand prix of 2012. Hope it proves to be a cracker and we get to see some intense and dramatic racing. So, let the five red lights go off...!!

Writing a blog post...

noreply@blogger.com (Jammy) — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 21:45:00 +0000

Year was 2008 when I published my first ever blog post (as far as I can remember). I don't know what prompted me to sit up and start a blog. I don't know what was it that made me to share my thoughts with millions of strangers. I don't remember these.

But what I can recall is whenever I was down, I used to read various blogs, and it gave me strength to continue. When I felt I am all messed up blogging community was there and it helped me clear out the things. And this made me continue to blog at all times. I blogged during my exams, I blogged about my highs and lows. I blogged for money, I blogged to expose and then I blogged more...

But then the dark clouds came and my blogging suffered. Every time I thought about blogging, some or other thing came up. When I finally made up some time just for blogging, I didn't get anything to write on. And when both of these options were checked, I ended up at loss of words. Not wanting to dry the blog completely, I started to blog random images, videos, quotes etc. But somewhere deep, I know I am not doing justice to this little web estate of mine.

There were times when I would come up with this very brilliant idea about a post (brilliant, least for me) but then it would get up lost somewhere. These topics ranged from Rahul Gandhi to Afghanistan to War president to Sachin Tendulkar to roadside Eatery joint. It was a mix and something I feel very strongly about. But all of these never saw the day of light.

Today, almost four years of that fateful day when I started blogging, I found myself reading various blogs of random strangers and thinking JammySpeaks is waiting for me. Writing a blog post has always been a tough task but I have found myself enjoying it all the time. And I hope this time it would not be any different and 'writing a blog post' would again be a daily affair.

special potential batch- THE BATTLE CONTINUES....................

noreply@blogger.com (bhami @ blog) — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 03:17:00 +0000

SPB -THE SPECIAL POTENTIAL BATCH
The feeling of being in SPB is so special that when one gets the opportunity it means a whole world to him/her.On 22 nd Jan 2012 i received a call from shiamak davar that i have not been selected in SPB.I was sure that i will get in but the year long hard work has not earned me any fruits,but then I do believe we should do karam and should not think of its fruits.
My friend who gave his audition with me,was no selected as well.We were disheartened but its okay....life goes on...later in the evening I was sitting alone and was thinking about the hard work ,all the 'n' number of problems I faced.Everything looked futile.
I know ..........I know.........but after all I am a human being and I do feel sad.
My phone buzzed that very moment and my friend told me that he received a call from shiamak again saying there was some mistake and now he is in SPB.
For a second I was in shock because I didn't receive any such call,still i kept my composure and congratulated him.I was SAD MORE THEN BEFORE not because he got selected but because I was not selected or should say,
"jab dost fail ho jae toh dukh hota hai,but jab wo aage nikal jae toh zyada dukh hota hai".
Whatever I felt like a failure.......i cried whole night and tried to forget it but that very thought that shiamak didn't consider kept haunting me.
Next day my friends noticed and asked me about my low mood.They dont know what is SPB for them its just another batch.How will i explain my grief.
How come a position or say a batch or a selection meant so much to me.Nothing in my life have I for anything like this.
I thought of not continuing dance for a while ....but my friend pursued me to call up shiamak office and ask about my selection again.Its not possible because, firstly, they called me up on there own and how can there be any mistake from there side!!!!!!!!!!
This very thought became the hindrance between me and that phone call,but after an hour long pursue by my friend I thought,
" ek call karne mei kya jata hai"
I called them up and asked about my selection,they put my call on a hold and for that few seconds my heart was pouncing like anything,they uphold the call and said,"yes,you are selected"
what.really?
is it?
are u sure?
i repeated this three times and the person on the other side said,"yes..yes..yes"
OH MY GOD!!!!!
I got selected,what these fools were up to yesterday,but who cares as long as one has a good news with himself/herself.
I was jumping ,laughing and going mad........
M year long hard work paid off!!!!!!!
:-)
But my excitement ended soon,when I asked my parents that I want to join and they said,"no"
Some where i knew this gonna be happen but I thought my constant pursue will melt there heart but those hearts were made up of stone I guess.A two day melodrama went on......and ended with my decision where I decided not to join it.I left it.......just the opportunity not my dance .
If I am capable enough I will get another chance.
I am going out of the city soon..................and I make a promise to myself I will be in SPB and will perform on stage..........that's a promise!!!!!!!

Why I 'do not' blog??

noreply@blogger.com (Jammy) — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 18:25:00 +0000

There has been a gap, an interval that has lasted too long since last post I wrote. And I am kinda tired of saying I am gonna write more, I am gonna take up blogging very seriously from now on and stuff.

Now as per this post is concerned, i was wondering how to start it? I thought of it to be a post on how was 2011, then it occurred to me what about a post on what I wish from 2012. And ideas started to pour down but I was not able to write on them. So, lets talk about what's preventing me from blogging actively??
After loads of pondering I have finalized it to be one of these three -

Laziness
Writer's block
Scared

Let's take them by one by one. Laziness, I have already confessed I am a lazy person and don't like to do stuff that I can avoid. As per blogging is concerned, I have always something to write about. I like to have an opinion about everything, be it politics, environment, entertainment or anything else. In that case, laziness is a very prime candidate for me not writing regularly.

Writer's block. Though I have always something to talk about, but I just don't know how to start. I am at a loss of words whenever I need to initiate a topic. And this is one of the reason, why I always fire up my system, log in my account, open up the new post tab and then write a title, make up my mind on what am I about to write and then as and when I am about to start the post, I don't know what to write. I know what I wanna say. I know what would be the main body of the post, but what I don't know is how to introduce the topic. And the result is, a pile up of drafts. (179 and counting)

Scared. Whoa... This is a little awkward. I take pride in saying what I feel, then scared?? Well, it's not I am scared of saying my mind. It's just I am scared of getting banned if I end up getting on the bad side of some high profile people. I don't want to see someone hacking up this little site and putting a banner saying, I used to say what I feel or some black suits knocking up my door and arresting me over a drug charge or worse, a ninja coming up and poisoning me and firing a poisonous a dart in my neck.

Well, the last one is nothing but a hallucination..!!

I believe it's a mix of laziness and writer's block. So I am gonna try and avoid it but by now you must know me, I end up writing a post every six months which says I am gonna write more. So, Instead of saying anything I would just try. May be it works..

Happy New Year..!

Python 357: A short film

I have always felt an affinity towards film and books. And I grab any chance I get to witness a fine movie or to read a good book. So, when a friend recommended me PYTHON357 a short film by Rushabh Shah, I checked it out. And was amazed to see such a nice film.

Python 357 is a fast paced film about a hardworking crime journalist and a contract killer who kills people 'not' for money. The film is about how one 'Python 357' changes their life forever...

I liked the film and how it was made. Although I wished the thumbnail of video was the pic I had cut through the movie (The first pic of the post) and not what it is. Well, now enjoy the movie...

LG DoublePlay: Dual-Screen, Split-Keyboard

noreply@blogger.com (Jammy) — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 08:00:00 +0000

This post brought to you by LG DoublePlay™. All opinions are 100% mine.

LG officially announced LG DoublePlay™, a unique Android 2.3 handset with dual touchscreens and split QWERTY. Here's the scoop: the DoublePlay's powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU and offers a 5MP rear-facing camera capable of capturing 720p HD video.

Where it gets interesting, however, is in the DoublePlay's design -- it uses a 3.5-inch display on top, sliding out to reveal a 2-inch internal screen sandwiched in between both halves of the keyboard. As it turns out, both screens can be used separately or in tandem with each other, depending on your needs. It is available exclusively through T-Mobile, so if that's your carrier it's something to consider.

Other features include:

multi-tasking abilities to surf the net, update facebook, check email, and/or text all at the same time!
5 mega pixel camera with LED Flash
720p HD video recorder
many texting options including Cloud Text or Group Texting
Access to Android Market and Apps
Dual capacitive touch screens for multi-taskers and social networkers like me!

Personally, I spend a lot of time messaging and on social networking. And if I had this amazing piece of hardware, it would have surely made my life smooth. It would also be an interesting way to communicate with all my relatives and with no discomfort of writing text on touch screen as keyboard is there too..!

I'd love for y'all to leave comments and let me know how many hours y'all spend texting, engaging via your social networks, and if you think a phone such as this would be useful for you.

A lot can happen over a coffee: A Love story

noreply@blogger.com (Jammy) — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 16:13:00 +0000

“Just love you so so much”
“Love you too my sweetheart” she said holding my hand.
I was getting lost in her eyes and a song started to play in the background,

“And now that your gone, just wanna be with You”

Oops wrong timing. No One’s gone anywhere Its just enrique’s song from set as my ringtone. What a vociferous mum n three snoozed alarm couldn’t do, a ringing mobile did pretty well in the realm of waking up the prince from his slumber. It was a dream. Damn…!!!

With one eye closed and the other too half open, looked at the mobile screen to see an unknown number calling. Somehow against my inner motivation to reject the call, managed to pick up just to see who was the lucky chap to get into my hit list today?
The only thing that could give you more warmth than a quilt in the great Delhi winter is a girl in your arms. And I certainly wasn’t having one. So I needed some payback.

Surprisingly a girl from other side spoke
“Hello, is it Ashu?”
“Yes .Whose it?”
“Gud morning Ashu. Snigdha this side.”
“Sorry I don’t want any credit cards, I told you . I just love it as cash. No cards please.”
“Excuse me??” she said perplexed..
“What? Don’t you people at the bank sleep? And why disturb people at such early hours?”
“Do you even realize whom you are talking to weirdo? I am snigdha, sonakshi’s friend. Remember sonakshi?” she said agitated.

SONAKSHI. That was the name that brought me back to my senses.

“I am really sorry. Actually I was half asleep. Moreover a girl with similar name as yours has been pestering me with credit card offers for last two days . So…..”, I lied.

‘It’s okay” she replied

“So what made you call me such early, everything fine??” I asked..
“Yup almost.”
“Almost ??”
“Tell me something. Are you free today??” She asked.

“Sort of. But why?” I replied.

That “sort of “meant, I had to to drop my sis to school, then have a 3 hour tuition, had to go shopping with mum for cousin’s wedding, had to attend a friend’s birthday party, etc etc etc.

“Can you come to meet us today?”
“What happened??”

Next voice from other side was Sonakshi herself.

As a matter of fact, sonakshi is a school friend of mine, a very close friend I must say. And in my confession mode I would say, I sort of liked her, in reticence though. Just couldn’t ever gather the courage to tell her. Her astonishing charm and entice always stood in the way. She was a sure shot 8 pointer on our “Rate-The-Looks” scale (her highness Katrina Kaif being the benchmark with 10 on 10). And me, being modest would say, could manage to get passing marks if the observer was lenient. However strong and true your feelings might be for your special one but in the end looks do matter.

“HI Ashu..”, sonakshi spoke in case u forget where we were.
“Hey, how are you?? Everything fine dear??” I asked
“Can you come to meet me today?”
A question in reply to a question meant something was wrong. She sounded low. Her usual sweet voice had a tone of sadness in it. Audible sobs followed after every two words.

“What happened??” I enquired.
Snigdha snatched away the phone from her.
“Are you coming??” Again a question in reply to a question. Girls. I tell you, they would never give you the answers.
“Yes, of course. But for heaven sake tell me what happened??”

“Meet us at Rajiv Chowk metro station at 8.30 .Will tell you everything there”
“But…But….but..” and she hung up. Can't these girls listen to us, just for once?

Now that wasn’t a great way to start the day. Agreeing to meet them meant I had to miss my lecture and bunk the shopping trip or vice versa. But nothing matters now, I needed to go. Sonakshi wanted to meet me. She wanted to meet me.

I looked at the watch. I had 45 minutes to reach my destination. I started planning in my mind about what excuse I could make at home and what activities I could miss to reach on time. Could I miss to take a bath? Neah. Just couldn’t let the girls drown under my captivating body odour. In a dash got up from my bed and in 15 minutes (I don’t know how) I was ready. Had to miss my breakfast though.

Mind started to vacillate over the mode of transport to use. Should I use the metro? Economical, air conditioned, ecofriendly or should I go with my R-15(yes I loved it). But why take the bike which consumed fuel no less than a ferrari on a race track when you don’t even have a girlfriend? Moreover being a Eco(h) student myself, had to think of my country’s fuel crisis. So weighing no pros and all the cons, decided to go with the former environment friendly and more importantly pocket friendly option.

The chilly January morning wind made me put a jacket on. The weather was in total contrast to beginning of my day, calm, cool and beautiful. Boarded metro from the nearest station and reached there almost on time.
Got out from the AFC (Automatic Fare Collection) gate at the station. Always wondered how they read those tokens. Damn. It wasn’t really a time for my scientific research.

There she was waiting for me at the exit, looking as gorgeous as ever in her black top n blue denims. Her flawless white skin, her cute face, those penetrating eyes, everything about her was so perfect. For a moment I didn’t even notice Snigdha standing beside her. But today those deep blue eyes had a hint of red in them, and it wasn’t tough to discern that she was up and cried all night.

A smile came on their faces on seeing me. Shona’s mattered to me more.

“What happened?” I fired after a casual hand shake.
“Let’s sit somewhere n then we will talk” Snigdha replied though I never asked her.

And we walked towards the nearby CCD (café coffee day). Walking inside the CCD with two girls and little cash in my wallet (Rs 423 to be precise) didn’t seem to be that good an idea but couldn’t help it. Thought of calling Sid to bring in some cash. Sid is my best friend and owns a Honda city. But trust me, the city had nothing to do with him being my best friend. And even if it did, it wasn’t the right time to discuss that.

“What would you both like to have?” I asked them and I so badly wanted them to say oh nothing we are fine but sometimes things like these are not in your hands. ”A cold coffee would do” they both said in unison.

My mind started the calculations, 120 +120= 230 oops 240.
Don’t laugh. I was never good at maths and my class 12th results stood a testimony to it.

“Here are your coffees .”
“You are not taking anything??” shona asked .
”Nah just had my breakfast .” I lied though I wanted to say If you are ready pay my bill I can give it a 2nd thought.
“Now tell me what happened??” I again asked or I must say pleaded this time.

“She broke up with him last night.” Snigdha informed.
Who is HIM??
Him here refers to pulkit, sonakshi’s boyfriend. Pulkit was another reason for me to hide my feelings.

I was shocked to hear that though a little happy somewhere inside.And you know why.
”What??” That was all I said though I wanted to add “Good job done” but decided to keep those words for some other time. “Yeah we had a argument last night and we broke up” this time thankfully shona replied.
“But why??” I questioned.
“Because of you” Snigdha replied to my question.
“Me??” I stumbled.
“Yeah you remember you and Shona went to kamla nagar a few days back?”
“How can I forget that day” I thought to myself reliving the entire day spent with her in my memories.
“So?” this was all I added in the conversation. “Pulkit saw you both there n when he asked her about where she was…..she lied to him about being with you. And you already know how fond of u pulkit really is” she said sarcastically. “So, what can I do about it?? I already told her not to talk to me if her psycho boyfriend doesn’t like it.” I said frustrated and agitated.

“You boys never understand anything. She broke up with pulkit for you” she fired on me. “Now what is that supposed to mean??” I replied puzzled.

“Do you like her?” Snigdha again fired like an AK-47. A bombshell was dropped on me.
”What?” I replied helpless to speak anything else.
“Don’t you understand simple english? I asked do you like her??”.
“Where does this come from??”
“Answer my question”?
Don’t know was it Shona’s captivating eyes or the sadness on her face which made me blurt out a “yes”.
“My job is done. Over to you.” Snigdha said to sonakshi.
I had no idea what was going on.

Finally Shona spoke.
“You are my best friend Ashu. But would you mind replacing the word “best” with “boy” ”.
I was gaping at her bewildered.
“I like you.” she enchanted.
The connection between my heart and mind was disrupted for a few seconds due to sudden downpour of feelings.
“Are you serious?” is all I could manage for a reply.
“Do I look to be joking? Tell me what you think about it. Do u like me??”.She said holding my hand.
It took me a few seconds to get back to my senses and believe that indeed a girl was proposing me.
“Have I ever said a no to you?” I said with a wink.
A beaming smile appeared on her face and she hugged me across the table.
“I think I must take a leave” Snigdha intervened.
“Yes you should.” We both said in unison for her job was done.
“Huh. Screw you both. Anyways thanks for the coffee.”
“Anytime.” I replied without even looking at her.

3 hours ago I was dreaming of a date with her now I was living that dream indeed. I was on cloud no.11 if it existed; no.9 wasn’t enough to express my elation.
Walked out of CCD with her by my side. I was a bit apprehensive because I had lied at home and here I was with my 45 minute old girlfriend on the streets of best couple hangout place in Delhi. I was amidst my thoughts when she held my hand and put it around herself. The apprehensions in me rose to a new level. Removed my hand on receiving a few “you are disgusting” looks from a few senior members of the society and the “You don’t deserve her” stares from the younger lot. She looked at me surprised and held my hand again and that comforted me enough that I could give everyone a “you better give it a second thought” look.

We sat down at the metro station with her head rested on my shoulder. She started showing me some pics of her family and friends in her phone. But honestly, to this day, I don’t have a clue about her family tree because I was too lost in the innocence on her face to give any attention to the snaps.

“Are you listening to me?” she asked catching me lost.
“Yeah yeah of-course”
“Oh really?? Then would you mind telling me what I was talking about??”
“Ummm about your family?” spoke my ingenuity.
“Thanks for such a witty answer.” She said mocking a punch at me.
“You are so beautiful.”
“I know.” she replied with a wink.

Entered the metro station, and damn, I still had no time for my research on AFC gates and tokens. My nobel prize deserving research paper was indefinitely postponed.

We both ran, she held my hand and we boarded the metro. I wished I had brought my bike.
The announcement explained the ugly stares I received upon boarding the metro, “Male passengers are requested to not to enter the coach reserved for ladies.”

Oops I didn’t realize under the intoxication of her presence, I had got in to metro through the first coach of metro reserved for ladies to be. I walked swiftly to the next coach dodging the glances of pretty girls and ladies.

And there we stood at the junction of 2 compartments (ofcourse I was not in woman’s compartment anymore,she was), our eyes locked. Wanted to personally thank metro man Mr. E. Sreedharan for giving us the metro gifting me the 20 most beautiful minutes of my life.

Her mum had called and she had to be home. So took an auto from the metro station though I wished to walk with her but we had to reach on time.
Stopped the auto at a distance from her home.
“I Don’t want to leave” she said.
“Don’t want you to leave either but u gotta go”

Hugged her tight and left her hand (unwantedly though which I held for last 1 hour) to let her go. She winked and left.
My God, I loved those winks.

My cell beeped a few minutes later.
“Am screwed. Bhai saw us together.” Her message read.
A shiver ran down my spine.
“Am coming to explain. Don’t worry”

“BAKKRA banayaa !!!! just kidding mum had to go somewhere, that’s why called me home.” a wink at the end of the message said it all.

My God I hated those winks.

“You just gave me a heart attack. I hate you.”
“Nothing can happen to your heart. Its in my safe custody. And I love you.” she replied.
“Love you too” was all I managed to reply.

Met Prateek in the evening , my only friend in the neighborhood, to inform him of the day’s happening.
“Hey guess what happened today??”
“You had a bath..!” he replied, his words drenched in sarcasm.
“How do you know that?”
“It’s visible on your face.” He said mocking at me.
“Shut up…I just wanted to tell you that I am in a relationship”
“Ok”. Ok?? That's it? Come on, I am in a relationship and he says, ok..

“Screw you” I replied.
“I can’t even say that to you. You are committed. You have screwed yourself already.” Pat came his reply and he started to laugh. The day ended with us celebrating with a few bottles of miscellaneous soft drinks down our food pipes.

Came home at night and yes I didn’t miss the b’day party (How could I?? It was free dinner..!!). A silent smile on my face was enough to let mum ask questions that I couldn’t answer.
“I am tired mum…going to sleep. Talk to you tomorrow.” I escaped.
And the day ended with a status on Facebook that read,

Ashu changed his relation status from 'Single' to 'Committed'.

The Grocery Store
- By Juliann
On a recent visit to the grocery store, as my friend Kristin and I were walking through the parking lot, a grocery cart full of bagged groceries came rolling away from the store and into the parking lot, heading straight towards us. I suppose we could've just taken it to the car, considered it a gift, and cooked dinner with whatever that kind soul had happened to purchase. But then the kind soul would've had no dinner, so we pushed the cart back towards to store, looking in all directions for a potential owner. The only person in sight was standing with his back to us, totally absorbed in obtaining a free pizza sample from the pizza sample guy standing on the curb. We parked the cart behind him, went on to get our own free pizza samples, and watched as he finished his pizza, turned around, and pushed his cart away as if nothing had happened. He had no idea that two random girls had saved all of his groceries from rolling away into oblivion.

You know, I'm pretty sure God does something like that for me at least five times every day. And I usually just keep eating my pizza, totally oblivious of the gratitude I owe Him.

This post brought to you by Untitled Jersey City Project. All opinions are 100% mine.

An exciting new concept in the area of entertainment is on the horizon in the form of a work-in-progress television drama. The Untitled Jersey City Project will encompass themes that will be very familiar to the aspiring business urbanite as they witness ten characters maneuver their way through politics and questionable business ties. Each seeks to gain money, fame, and power in a new Jersey City development, built just across the river from Manhattan.

The mini-series will consist of eight short-form episodes featuring these ambitious characters with many of the story threads left unresolved. The intention is to tie the fragmented episodes into a much bigger story. Previews for the Untitled Jersey City Project are showing on FX Network now and what’s more exciting is that the viewer can take part in the creative process of the show by submitting a title and story ideas. So far it has created quite a hype and it would be interesting to see how this upcoming short series shapes up.
