Another Two States Part - 10

(Flashback)

             It was a bright sunny day.She was returning from Kolkata, visiting her relatives there.He too was on that train.They both had a common destination,New Delhi.Their birth's weren't nearby but as they were destined to meet ,they had the same compartment and they met, at the petty Indian Railways washbasin.

        They had an overnight journey to Delhi.So early morning she had gone to brush her teeth.Behind her, came he.
She had washed her face and had just lifted her eyes to see  in the mirror and  realized that somebody from behind was watching her do all this . She felt a bit uncomfortable and asked if he wanted to use the basin, thinking this as the reason for his gazing. But the scene of her washing her face and then facing him with tiny water droplets spread all over her face like mist water droplets on the petals of a rose flower early morning , had already made the way for the future Love weeds. He was watching her, starteld by her beauty, her long eyelashes, beautifying her eyes, short length flicks of hair coming on her forehead,damped with little water and she trying to push them away from coming in her eyes way to watch him.

       "Hm..Oh..No..You ...you please carry on.I...I will use it later",he replied, as if awaken from a dream.He turned towards the compartment and she turned towards the basin again.She got again busy with her stuff but the guy turned again just to catch another glimpse of her.

   "All passengers are hereby informed that there will be a delay in your journey from Kolkata to Delhi because of derailment of the Boggy a few lines ahead.We are making our best to provide you the comforts promised and make sure the delay isn't prolonged for more than 2 hours."This announcement panicked everyone but there was somebody who was happy.Happy with the thought that he might see her again.
Hope never dies and hence he was curious now to see her now, Again.

  He had been allotted the lower birth on the two side births, being travelling alone.
And now all he was concerned at was finding her position in that compartment.So he started visitng either the pantry area or the compartments doors and even the place where he first saw her.Every hour he could be found at these places.
And luck smiled on him, but a bit.She came, but with her mother.

  She saw that.Gave him a smile and went to use the washroom.He was now standing with her mother.They exchanged a cold look !He had no idea what to say, so he just pretended as if to be enjoying the outside view through the door .He could see miles and miles of barren land with some small shrubs growing here and there with some big trees at a very far distant.In his mind , he was thinking or rather asking God, why she was with her mother, would he able to meet her again and get to know about her,why at times are mothers such a villain!
While he was just questioning things, she came out.Gave him a smile and went with her mother back to her respective birth.And one good thing he did was, following her to know her position.And he got that !

A bit of my creativity..!

I love being creative or let's say creativity is in my blood.
I ain't too good at drawing or painting stuff but I am good at using things creatively and making attractive stuff from simple things.



I can make an exact copy of the drawing and color it ,obviously ;)
Here's how a tattoo looked like, on the arm of one of my friend, Shruti.
The occasion was our college fest and we decided to participate in our friends event, Tattoo-augo.
We were supposed to make tattoo with the sketch colors provided and this is what I came up with.
However it didn't turned out to be an award wining one but I guess, it do looks a simple and quite attractive one.

            Her heart stopped for a moment.Mouth opened in amazement ! Is it true? Is what she is seeing real? Can he be there? The whole auditorium was filled with applause for the amazing Fahion-o-Fiesta ramp walk. The team got a standing ovation from the designer and the Dean. She quickly hurried backstage just to make sure what she saw was real, or is it that she's dreaming !

            Certain things that we imagine are so beautiful that we wish them to happen in real, and when they don't , we dream and this is where the whole concept of dream comes from but can the desire of being with someone get to the extent that you dream of the person in your real life?Can this be explained ever? Logicaly,the answer is No! Heart controls mind or mind controls heart? Can this question be ever answered? Atleast Namita Can't! All she wanted to happen right now was to have a glance of him. Make it sure that all that she had seen wasn't just a dream.He was there and this is what she wanted to belive, happen and occur. She just wanted to be with him tonight. Hold hands,Hug him and tell him all that has been happening. But could life be drafted the way we wish. Wish with your pure heart and it becomes true was what she believed in . And true love makes true wishes.

               He was there. She just had to find a way to get to him. Samarth was there. He was a student of nuclear physics in the Institute of nuclear studies, Bnagalore. He was a kannada . Yes, he was south indian . Stories evolve and things happen. You can instruct your eyes not to watch this and that but you can never instruct your heart not to love him or her, and this something what happened between the two when they first met on that fateful day in that train compartment. Who knew that just an exchange of glance would bring these two souls so far that they now had started knitting dreams of future, their happy future, knowingly ignoring all the known difficulties ,they were yet to face. 

      "Samarth...wait ..!Wait Samarth, I know it's you. ", and shouting so she was running after a guy.The rain had started to fall and they both were outside the main auditorium in the campus premises.He kept walking, ignoring the fact that she was calling her name, asking him to stop."Samarth wait...", and she finally managed to grab him by his arm and make his face turn towards him just to see that it was him! Panting heavily she said,"Oh God.I knew it was you.Why didn't you stop." A different charm could be seen on her face , and why not ,she was standing in-front of  her love of life. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming? You said you had some prior engagements with your professors." His eyes were stuck at her face, waiting for her to stop, he was simply memorizing every minute detail of her beauty."Speak something, what's wrong? Why didn't you tell me you were coming?". "Just to allow you enjoy your life", he said. Not so simple answer was given for the simple question.

"Enjoy..what..?Enjoy what? What are you saying?"

"You said you were just a co-ordinator and not a participant but I just saw you walking down the ramp with that guy.I had come to surprise my girl who had always loved surprises but what I get to see , my girl walking down ,arms in arms, with a guy.I felt like a fool standing there watching the most beautiful girl,I had ever known in my life , going away with someone else."

"Don't say so Samarth. Why can't you simply tell me you Love me ! Don't you remember how we first met ? Do I have to repeat the whole thing again?", a placid smile could be seen on her face while she replied to him.

Taking her hands in his, he said "I am a fool .I don't deserve you or maybe you don't deserve me. But the truth is I love You ".

"This is just what I wanted to hear.I love You too !"

  "Namita....".
         "Yes Rahul", replied Namita, turning her head towards him, but the words from his mouth disappeared the smile from her face.
"There is a problem !".

                  "What is it? What happened? Did somebody fall? Is anybody hurt ? What? Tell me",she enquired in one breath. " No, no.. nothing like that.We had planned the Fashion-o-Fiesta walk to end with our seniors walkiing up the ramp, in pairs with our Mr. and Miss fresher coming in at the last.You know we have got Mam such a lovely red dress.Our sponsors for tonight had made those dresses but evenutally we are unable to find her and our bad luck is that the designer of that dress is here.She is going to attend the last walking session, one after the result declaration of the fresh faces and the band performance with the Dean sir.I f they are not going to see their special dress, Dean along with the designer will kill us."

             "What are we gonna do now? Should we tell them that she is sick and apologise? Or should we go and first take Dean sir in confidence.I am sure he can handle the sponsors very well.
 "The tension was building up ."What happened?Where's sonali?Isn't she supposed to be here, right next to me?We are soon going to have these dance performances over and are supposed to take the bow being the organisers of this party and being last years fresh faces. Where is she? What's happening?", the tension was rising up with the senior Mr. Fresh Face asking this question.
 "I am really sorry sir, but we are unable to find her.And the bad news is, Dean sir would be coming to watch you both walking in our sponsors designer clothes for Fashion-O-Fiesta.",technically, Rahul was freaking out, " We all are doomed today.He's going to be so upset.I really don't know what to do.I don't want this to be my last organised evening.What are we gonna do now.That dress won't even fit anyone else....anyone else but..", and he turned his eyes to Namita.

                 "What? Why are you looking like that ?", Namita knew what plans Rahul had made in his mind.She didn't want to do that. " Yes, Yes, Thank God. We all are saved now.Namita will walk with you sir.We know she is a junior but the sponsor people and Dean sir are only coming for the dress and the band performance.They won't know a thing.Thank God.Come-on Namita, Hurry up and get dressed.The college is going to perform and then you would be going up on the ramp.".Rahul had devised and ordered people to get working in a breath but Namita stood there, frozen. "No ways Rahul.I am not going to do that.I can't." Get someone else.Ask somebody from out there.I ..I just can't do this",her hesitance could clearly be marked from her words."No you can do that.Come-on hurry up",now even the seniors had joined the voice of Rahul."Yes,now go and get dressed",ordered Rahul and with a heavy heart she had had to get going to the dressing area.The college band had started performing with students dancing on their fast remix tracks.

Within a few minutes, she was ready.In a red blood colored long gown, she was looking stunnigly beautiful.She did gave some heart's a rest for a second, to miss their heartbeat with her glimpse.And their she was, waiting for her turn to get going on the ramp, and alas her turn had come.Very elegantly, holding the hands of her senior, she walked down the aisle ,like a real angel, wrapped up in red silk gown.With a smile on her face, she greeted the sponsors and Dean sir, sitting in the first row and then she lifted her eyes to greet the crowd, she saw him, standing there amongst the students.She did look like a real princess and today she met her prince.

               He was standing right there in-front of her, in the crowd !

        The party had begun.Loud music, clattering sounds of glasses and chirps of students were the remarkably noticeable sounds, making the environment so much alive.One night, where students allow their souls to blend with the nature of the party environment, let their-selves free to enjoy and have the happiest times of their life, the Fresher's Party !

  

      It was 4 in the evening and the side events had already begun like Who's Smarter, Can you Dance and Big Hand .The main party was supposed to start in an hour in the main auditorium with first welcoming all 
the fresh faces and then the Fashion Fiesta ramp walk followed by the short performances by participants of,Groove it. Namita was busy scheduling the ramp appearances of the participants when her phone ringing in her bag disturbed her conversation with her co-coordinators for the event."If you could excuse me for a minute", saying so she quickly answered the call, with a big smile on her face . "Hello". "Okay I get it. Hmmm... Okay okay I understand. No problem. Alright then, talk to you tomorrow". And the call ended, leaving a visible sign of sadness and dullness on her face. "Any problem Namita?,asked her co-ordinator, a batch-mate,and not to forget, now also somebody with a soft corner for our pretty young lady, Rahul.

 "Oh.. No... No, nothing.It's just nothing.Everything is fine.So what I am saying is, let's just get these...." and so she again made herself busy in the work while actually she was doing so, only to distract her mind from that call.We might try to shoo things away from our mind by indulging our-selves in other activities but some things just can't be made to fade off.The sadness was clearly marked on her face and Rahul sensed that.Sensed and decided to make the evening a memorable one for her.


          "Good-evening friends.I, Rishi, welcome you all to our Fresher's party.Let me not be bossy with you, as I am your senior but lets just forget the rules and boundaries and enjoy the evening.So let the party begin", 

 and so the evening had marked it's start.The first happening was the ramp walk, Fashion-O-Fiesta for the fresh faces competition.Many students had participated and the judges were, of-course the fresh faces of the senior batch.Seniors were lined up in the front row of the auditorium with students walking on the ramp, right in-front of them.In the background a rocking score of Usher could be heard, Namita was working backstage, helping students get in line.There was a long queue, everybody wanted to be famous and known and this was just the right platform. "Hello friends, My name is Supriya. I am ...," and so the participants came one by one and all gave their best, to impress the judges and the people to vote them to be the fresh face of the year.After the introduction part, followed the performance by individual groups of students.Tiya was performing too.But the main highlight was the seniors group, performing the "Right here Right now " number by Fatboy slim.It surely was the main performance, enjoyed by all.

        "Namita....".
         "Yes Rahul", replied Namita, turning her head towards him, but the words from his mouth disappeared the smile from her face.
"There is a problem !".
