Dream Date

Abhay was waiting for the train to reach Delhi as soon as possible ...it was his first semester break and will be meeting Geeta after 6 long months .....he just can’t wait to reach home....
Finally train reached at Delhi station at 9 PM in night which is over 5 hrs late then scheduled time... now he left with around 4 hrs journey which he has to do by road...he boarded bus around 10PM and reached his home at 1:30AM in midnight..... he went to bed anticipating about the following day which he planned to spend with Geeta....
He met Geeta in his IIT coaching and they became friends soon....they were just friends nothing more than this....they spend almost 1 year together in coaching and after that .... he always liked her company but never felt that they have something more than just friendship between them....
He reached ice cream parlor at 2:30 half an hour early then they are supposed to meet....he was anxious to meet her...finally she came at around 3:10....these 40 minutes was seems to be longest 40 minutes of his life...but when she arrived it all worth for....she was wearing traditional light blue colored salwar-kurta .....he always liked her in this dress.... on top of that she had her hair open....which she always disliked and he liked.... very light makeup....it was looked like she took lot of time in dressing up...all his favorite stuff..... the moment he saw her ....he was speechless...
First thing she asked him is how did she looks...and he was unable to say anything...his mind was too slow to react on this unexpected.....they sat there for some time in which they both talked about lots of things....about colleges....about new friends.... and lots of other stuff....it was 5 o’clock when they realized about time.... she told him now she has to go....he wanted her to stay for some more time but she had to go.... finally when there was no other option left he asked her if they can walk together till her home.... she agreed but said not till home he has to drop her before her home itself....
it was mid July and it was cloudy outside... they left cafe and started walking towards her home... it was main city market and as always crowded....they walked hand in hand and talked about future plans.... walking they reached MALL ROAD ....a clean and silent place... away from city traffic ... paradise for couples..... at anytime you can see many couples walking there.... it started breezing in some time and in no time it was raining heavily.... they were enjoying it.... they always enjoyed rains together.... and for him it was like more than he ever expected..... they saw a bench in park and sat there ...and enjoyed rains drops falling on grounds.... then he looked at her....rain drops were falling on her cheeks...touching her lips....he looked into her eyes..... their eyes locked.... not able to say any word.... his lips touched her ....she didn’t resisted ..... no one knows it was time after which they were meeting or rain....and they had their first kiss...... he felt as if he was in heaven....it was a small kiss but he enjoyed it..... after some time rain stopped and they started to move towards her home....
he didn’t want to leave her hand...but they reached from where she had to go alone....he asked if they can spend some more time ... but it was almost 8...she promised her mom that she will be back by 6... they were together for 5 hours but it seems to them like a moment only....
all of a sudden he felt like someone hit him..... someone was shacking him.....many people were near him..... and he realized it all was a dream.... his train is about to reach Delhi and all his friends were trying to wake him up.... he thought to himself ....will this dream ever come true..... how will his meeting with her go.....he washed his face ,collected his stuff and was ready to get down.....

College... the last day!!!!

I walked with my best friends across the campus......... towards my class... my final year engineering class. The hour hand at the watch said ... it was ten minutes past 5.... and there was not even a single trace of any life in the college........ except for we three.... me and my best pals ..........

Another ten steps.. and there was our class with the doors shut... !!! we were on the third floor... and the sun setting down in the valley with its orange rays was creating a magical scene. Had a wish that the time stops at that very moment... but it never happens... the seconds hand ticked heavily..... and we opened the doors of the class for one last time...................

Wished i cud ask my teacher..."may i come in.... " and wanted to hear her shout.... "You late again... no attendance..."
but there was no one there... just empty desks.. and we three.... looking at the walls.... and the desks.. all empty... with quotes we wrote ... and the raised platform .. where the torture classes were held... and the last benches.. where we had fun.... laughed .... kicked out.... hiding from the teachers... pleading for attendence............ million memories rolled like a muvee into our minds... and there was complete silence for a moment.. and we smiled ... laughed!!!!!

Walked like heros from the medivial times.... jumped over the benches... had a look at the bench .. where the so called babes of our class used to sit.... hehehe... babes in engineering.... a dream in itself... (no offenses to any babes)... ..

drifted to our place... ... sat there..... side seats...
dint feel like the last day .... dont remember how we met .... how we came to such a stage... feels like i know my friends from ages... feel like as if i was born in this college..... feel like i was always here...

The entire class was still there alive.... the last benchers sleeping.......... the gals chatting amongst themselves........... the teacher in her own world...... ravi sitting besides me .... cribbing about something .... swami sitting on first bench taking down notes.... and maru smiling at the babes.... ankur ... talking to the gals... and we laughing about something of the other..... me occasionally scribbling something on my notepad............ making some sketches.. or bullshit poetry ............

Ahh.. tarun asking me to look outside... for some babes from bio-med ... standing there....... and i without even a word...looked outside.. it was an unsaid communication.... tarun pinged me... and i, with the same enthu... looked outside... but today there wasnt anybody there................ just the deserted corridor.......... and i cud see the mechanical department at the end... no one there..................

looked back..... but there was vinay .. in his dream world.... not scribbling anything in his notebook... not laughing this time.... not sayin anything this time........... just sitting there.. and there was tarun... and there was me .....

"roll number 23.......... "
"roll number 23............ varun.... u sleeping again........ "
"Ok fine............. roll number 24"
"....................... hey .. present ma'm............ "
"you sleep dear...!!! no attendence for you................."


No attendence.... the class has ended... and my friends... chatting and laughing .... going for a chai... aur a samossa..... aur a lemon juice...

and we sat there ..... sat there all alone ......... closed our eyes, for the entire world outside the walls of the campus was calling us..............

Wanted to attend one last lecture........ but this time there was no one to take that last lecture..............

and there was that door... open... and we wished all the time .. to run away .... to bunk.. but this time it wasnt..... one last time.... one last time............ attended the class.... with no one.. just we three...
