We met in the psychology class, and wildly he was a fresher. (one of the most rowdy..I assure you!) It was just bang-and-we-met situation. We were having this drill where you're paired with.
Supposedly we were the worst pair which could be made.. he was one person who was like the most outspoken (read: brat)..someone who was continuously into singing hoarsely, not doing any assignments, and later poking people like me to help him. (Okay,okay!..I ain't trying to showcase myself as the biggest devotee of studies..but whatever!) So lets get back to the drill part..its supposed to be something embarassing, but now it seems like the best memories now..but time! I so hate this thing which is so damn stationery and is perhaps the biggest cheater you can have. No, I don't want any saints' view on this! I miss those moments..
Oh yeah..the drill!
Professor- So everybody, you've been paired, and whether you're happy or not! I'm done with my job, and for your job, read the details of the sheets which you've been given.
I cursed softly, and grumbled. To my dismay, Mr.Partner noticed it and laughed-"Boohoo! You don't like me, but I don't love you either, so lets not sulk, and get to know each other!"
I don't show off my sarcasm in front of people that easy, but come on, nobody speaks like THAT in the very first instance! So here's what I did..picked up the paper, and hogged down the details->
"Get to know your partner intently. Make him./her an open book, even if he/she is too closed"
I shot back right at him and said "D-uh! I don't need to open any of your chapters, you're already clear right from head to toe"
"Aw bad! I was just trying to find the key to lock your book!",and guffawed loudly.
"Huh..so whatever, lets get to the point..What's your name?",I ignorantly asked, not actually bothered whether he was George Bush's son, or maybe my neighbour's husband.
"Why not read the cover of the book, and tell me?",he teased.
"You're stubborn and outspoken..and yes, you really don't know how to talk!",I said.
"Lovely first lines about me. I'm so happy,girl!..what's your name then?..."Madonna or maybe Jennifer Aniston's cousin?", he said that and smiled.
Okay, I have to except, he had a very cute smile. I mean, yes, if he hadn't spoke to me like that, maybe I would have fallen in love with his smile. But for now, NO! I hate this rowdy rustic who thinks he Ramses' son!
"You're already making opinions about me. Too bad, I tell you, milady! You'll be a bad psychiatrist but a good psycho", he caught that on my face, and replied.
I mean that was some telepathy. I still don't understand how some guys really know what girls can be thinking.
Our drill continued..and went on for some two hours. Psychology is something bad to take up, incase you got a partner like his.
We gradually became friends..I mean yes, we couldn't be sure of it..but yes, friends can be a good word to suit our case. We had each other's numbers, but never called. We never visited each other's place, nor did we try to stay in touch. Nonchalant..oh yeah!
College was done in some years, and life was going great for me. Psychology sessions with some real psychos were over. My law practice was full on. Things were great with me. We had forgotten, atleast I had forgotten about him. You can call me ignorant.. but then time strikes you on the face at times..here's a Xerox of what I found while sifting through some old psychology book' of mines.It was stuck with scotch tape at the back of my book.

Respected Sirs,
My subject was a beautiful girl of 21, who had captivating eyes, with something very elusive about her. She hates guys who're sarcastic on the first note, and is someone very emotionally strong to be anything like a psychiatrist, but thankfully she's taken this an extra subject, and her mainstream is Law. As a person, she was someone fun to know. She reads a lot of novels.. as I found 1 Dan Brown and 1 Paulo Coelho peeking outside from her sling faded denim bag. She's someone very independant, with a mind of her own. That can be reflected in the way she dresses, and the confidence with which she speaks. Not easily influenced, but has less friends, 'cos she's too much into judging people by their first impressions and staying by them. To avoid her loneliness she blogs,writes dark poetry, and is a big Metal fanatic. (I know its bad manners to read a pretty girl's diary, but I couldn't resist it!) Though it doesn't show, she doesn't have any parents, and just to show that she is someone happy, she wears a mask over the sadness. She's intelligent, witty, and someone who I need as a friend. I'm someone who has hundred friends, but in need of someone as honest as her. This isn't anything near to a report, just a weird confession! And obviously I ain't mailing this.. Maybe she finds this in sometime, but maybe I'll be too far away. Maybe I'll be standing next to her,....ah ! The maybes are never ending. But for now..I need a pill. I had the migraine attack again.
Maybe he was wrong about the emotionally strong part..'cos I was amidst tears by now. I looked at my side, but there was no one by me. Just a picture framed in an animal print photo frame showed up. Yeah, I had the numbers of everyone kept behind it. I immediately called him up.
i will write dark poetry from now on.. may be some girl will write a post on me too
ReplyDeletei read the post in google reader. I so so wanted this was true. dunno why.. when i came to comment here i read the labels "story"
ReplyDeleten m sad nw.. phew
a real good and worthy effort girl! i loved it you should write more :D
ReplyDeletedo you actually try to involve a bit of you in your posts??

I just wonder how u come up with such brilliant stories. Cos I know I cant write with this kinda depth!
ReplyDeleteKeshi.
beautiful... I loved it...
ReplyDeletehow old r u again? :P
ReplyDeletefaaaaaaaaaaaaaab!!
Psychology I feel is the most interesting of all subjects because you can't learn it just by reading books. Each individual is different and any volume of books is not going to capture it to its fullness.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find anything different in this blog other than the usual... Its superb as usual... :D
Between, I don't think friendship is just about being together all the time, or calling each other once in a while. Its a feeling that exists between two individuals that exists like the air around us and can be inhaled in varying intensities but is a life's necessity.
Please tell.. its just not a story and has some real life facts tooo.. :)
ReplyDeleteDamn good.. Dint want it to end.. Hope there is a second part for the story.. the one after she called him up :) !
Woah ....Super Story ...Fiction?
ReplyDeleteInspiration?
b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l... like it a lot.. fast and well constructed....
ReplyDeleteIs it really a story???
ReplyDeleteOh that was so awesome!! I mean A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! If you know what I mean!!!
ReplyDeleteBut is this fiction??? I have my doubts for that!!
Loved it!!
Take Care
You really had me literally living from word to word here.
ReplyDeleteGripping!
And somewhere, i could feel an Ayu-esque essence in this story...
:D
Loved it, girl.
Just awesome, as ever always
:)
You really must be having a larger-than-average skull capacity. Coz you definitely got a larger-than-average brain!
