STRIKE

Earlier, I was proud of the fact that I was immune to opposite sex tantrum and wit. But this angel knocked my haughtiness with one knock-out(killer)punch and It could be best described in chemical engineer terms as” my heart was involved in as universal reaction, catalysed her smile, forming a magnificent, beautiful feeling known as “love “.It was an irreversible, exo-desired reaction which could not brake at any condition”.

I suppressed myself with numerous desired feelings due to lack of guts to confront her…but these feelings in me were accreting at a rapid rate like a chain reaction and making me crazy and insane. I became obsessed to get my lady love at any way

But I feared,” she may shatter my dreams like a glass when I propose her. These things were killing me day by day”.

So I preferred to stay mostly with my friends to stay away her illusions and thoughts which was screwing my life at every moment.

But my mind could not win over my heart because of unbreakable love composition already occupied the whole heart.

At first, Durga, Sudhansu and Ranjit were reluctant to help me out, but seeing my gloomy state they decided to put an end by arranging a so called “Date with my destiny”. I was very much pleased with my friend's effort.

Day by day, the whole soul had been levitating by her magical love .It was very wonderful experienced which I was passing through my life. I was pampering the GOD all the time to give a chance to convince her about my willingness.

24th Sep, one of the junior involved argument with one of my friend for no good reason, but it turned into ugly brawl which finally ended up in a strike.

The next day early morning, Durga phoned me and instructed me to take part in a strike as a prestigious issue for our batch.

I just replayed,”ok, I will be there within five minutes”.

“No, we are all there, come soon…..”
“Ok, don’t pester me anymore'', I just replied, hung up my phone.

It was a nightmare for juniors who staying in campus hostels. Our whole batch invaded the junior hostel and smashed all such things which came our way. I was very much naïve at this point, but I managed to do things effectively and efficiently.

I got one hockey stick from one of my friend and started smashing at least three laptop and uncountable accessories belong to juniors like Sehwag smash six six …. In 20-20 match.
“Move away!”, Durga hollered as he was moving towards me and whispered in my ear, “police “.

Then our whole batch moved from the hostel after hearing the announcement of police and staged a protest in the front of the college principal office demanding an apology.

Well I was very tired and my body needed some rest and some drink (sprite) for refreshment.

“Let’s go to canteen”, I said to Durga.
We moved to the canteen. I saw Sneha with her friend Itisri having breakfast in the corner of the canteen.

At that moment my thirsty feeling vanished as a soap bubble in air. My heart beat started pumping speedily. The unknown love reaction started vigorously within me and her magical love levitated me .

Having understood my problem, Durga directly approached to her and said,

“My friend Tiru wants to meet you”.

“How could I meet without knowing your friend”, she replied like every girl.

“That’s why he wants to meet you”, Durga replied.

“Why me!” she said as she gazed at me.

“I don’t have answer. You ask him directly”, Durga replied as his eyes pointed towards me.

Finally Durga convinced her and arranged a date with me next day at the canteen.

I thanked Durga and gave a loving hug.

I was so happy that I couldn’t elucidate the moment.

The strike was spreading like a wild fire as time went by. The management after realizing that things were getting out of their control dismissed sine die to our whole batch. Due to management decision we were supposed to vacate the place as earlier as possible to avoid cops and management eyes.
My date with angel Sneha got cancelled and missed the great opportunity to meet her and share my feeling with her and conveyed the same to Sneha through my friend Ranjit who was her neighbour.

I was very upset and cursing my own ill fate..

Seeing my pathetic state,Durga said “don’t worry brother it’s not the end of the world'' to console me

“The strike played the perfect spoilsport to my dreams'' I said to myself.

TREASURED DAY

17th Sep, 2005, I was very tense and upbeat because of accreditation of college by TCS. We had been instructed to get dressed up in formal wardrobe to please the guests…On the very day; I was sunk in my bed sheets feeling the after effect of a late night movie.

I woke up and said to myself,”Yup, everything will go as I wished...buck up man it’s your D-day.. ’’ . I was feeling nervous and goose bumps were all over my body.

It was the first time, I wore tie with yellow shirt and black jeans which showcasing me like a gentleman. I was looking very decent for the first time and feeling me great. We gathered at the bus stop at a time very unusual for us, but we had been instructed to reach college on the dot of 9:30AM. When I got into the bus, the atmosphere in the bus was electrifying with ebullient guys and gals.

The college presented us with a festive look, everyone looking very busy with their assigned task because of last minute touch ups. The girls looked gorgeous and sumptuous in the traditional Indian sarees and we (my friends) were relishing the cleavage (exposed naval) of every girl. I had never imagined that a attire could transform mediocre girls into beautiful ones especially after looking at my friendz Alka, Tanushre. We were assigned with onus of welcoming the guests. We had finished the necessary arrangements in advance and had ample of time to chillax because train was scheduled to arrive late by 30 minutes. I had never imagined,”those 30 minutes kills my entire life”. Time is very precious if u knows the value. Life can turn off within one second.

We sat in the reception room discussing about the current seminar projects simultaneously peeping and glancing beautiful girls. My eyes just fell onto the bunch of roses on the corner of the room .I just casually picked up a red rose to which Alka was guessing that to whom I will present it.

“It will be for a girl who feels my heart beat “, I said.
The moment I finished my feeling statement, an  Angel, dressed in blue dress with striking beauty and mesmerizing  looks, entered into room and started talking with  ALka.I was spellbound.

"I will be understatement to describe the situation and my emotion”, I felt myself.

The feeling struck my virgin soul like a lightning and it was the first time such a wonderful experience I had. I was lost my sense and the whole world turned blank at that moment. It was truly a great feeling. I had the temptation in me to offer the red rose (symbol of love) to her.

Alka was keenly observed all this stuff from the corner of the room and asked me
“IS this your angel”.

Unconsciously I replied, “Yes, she will be my angel”.

That moment changed my life forever and got etched deep in my heart.

With some inputs from my friend sudhansu and Durga, Alka was persuaded and talking to sneha(Angel) about my willingness to her as we were on the way to chemical engineer dept(having the Prasad of Visukarma puja).The moment Alka raised this topic to the angel,

She stared at me and replied to Alka,”I do not know him”

I knew that was the common answer of every long lady, but it was not affected my decision because my mind decided not to let her at any circumstance.

“I have no idea about the meaning of love, but my heart kept pounding and I was gasping for breath every time when my eyes caught her. Something unusual was happening within me'' I asked to myself.

My heart left its abode and was wandering around her like a butterfly .From that day; I was living in my own world… the world filled with thoughts of princess. It was a kind of utopia for me where every corner had got molecules of love. Her scent was like a drug to me. I became restless soul and to be honest I was in a quest to regain my lost soul.
