destiny is something i don't believe in..
i like to believe in miracles.. or magical..
yes, i still believe that my world is a lift off from a fairy tale.. just a different from the conventional 'printed' versions.. but a fairy tale, nevertheless..
and for this reason, i'm not and will never brand today's meet as "destiny"..
4 years back.. 2009.. it was cold January morning.. the place was Kolkata (or, "Calcutta", as its always for me).. and the day was of Saraswati Pujo.. now if you are a Bong, only then will you be able to read into the detailed and implied implication of the mention of the day.. otherwise, well, it's no point even to try and explain, coz it's not of any point.. Saltlake.. dressed in something which was not the general jeans-tee.. both of us, that is.. and we met.. again a chance meeting.. in the middle of a street.. me going, and him, coming.. i saw him.. he knew it was me.. i took a few moments more to recognize and 'process' the face.. yes, needless to say, i'm really bad with faces.. and that was it then..
4 years later.. 2013.. a pleasant and lazy February afternoon.. the place is Ahmedabad (Gujjuland, as its always for me).. and the day doesn't hold any special significance, save for it being a Saturday and a weekend.. dressed in the usual code of jeans n tee.. both of us.. well, i might have been towards a lil bit 'dressy' side.. and we meet.. and "chance" will be an understatement here..
he saw me..
i looked at him..
and then i saw him..
i saw the bewilderment splashed across his face..
he forgot who he was with..
and well, even they were considerate enough to move aside and cut him some slack..
and same did my folks..
and we met.. and how..
a rugged boy..
a prim-n-propah girl!
happy..
amazed..
shocked..
mostly because of the place and the manner of out meeting..
"hi"
"hey"
and true to his style, before a "how are you", i get a "what are you doing here? i mean, why are you here? oh damn.. matlab, how are you?"
didn't even realise that his popcorns were almost on the verge of spilling over..
helping myself to those, i answered with a mouth full of popcorns, "i live here"
"you live in bombay.. i know you live in bombay.. you told me you live in bombay"
"you forgot.. i live here now.."
"damnit!! k.. give me your number.. oh *&%^#!! take my number.. **********.. yeah.. and give me a call.. call me.."
yeah.. that was the unexpected meet.. destiny.. at a place i never thought i will meet him.. even by chance..
so there you are.. welcome back A1.. a sudden rush of sweet memories.. and you couldn't have chosen any better time.. fosho..
certain first to the fore.. **13, you are a charmer!
