After 6 long Years!!

After 6 years

OK, folks a bit of history for every one's benefit. Like all educated men, I also had the opportunity to attend a school when I was young. My school years had not really been eventful as I was more focused on my studies. But 2001-2002 was a different year. And this was the year that changed me in more than a few ways. This was the year I first fell in love with a girl. We use to meet at our tutions and that was where I got to know her. When, it was my final day of tution before the big board exams and I knew this may be the last time I'll be able to see her, I proposed her. And she refused. Well, folks it has been 6 years since that day and I had not seen her. We have been in touch via phone/ emails/ chats for the last 2-3 years, since I re-discovered her on the Internet. One big thanks to ORKUT for that.

I had asked her a few times to meet up but she never entertained the idea. And after trying a few times, even I had given up any hopes of meeting her again. But 06 May 2009 was a different day. I was returning home from my day job with my office colleague in my office cab when the idea of having a chicken roll hit one of us. We left the cab around Venkateshwara college and headed straight to one of the famous Roll shops in Satya Niketan.

As, I was just standing at the shop, chit-chatting with my colleagues, a familiar face passed by. I instantly knew it was her. She went into a shop. I could not resist, picked up my phone and called her. She acknowledged and came around to say "Hi". We had a brief chat wherein she did not miss to mention that I have put on a lot of weight. And then she had to move as her car-pool buddy was waiting for her.

Surprisingly, I did not feel the attraction I use to feel when I was in school. And frankly, she was not looking like anything she use to look like. Maybe it was just infatuation then. I did not feel anything for her. I even mentioned this to her the next day we had a chat. I know that was mean from my side but could not help it, it is in nature to be outspoken and a bit blunt at times.

All said and done, know I now she was not meant for me and and I thanked god and more importantly her for not letting me have her when I had a chance.

Therefore, 2 things are clear. First, I am still single and Second, I am desperate not to be.
