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.
