Jab We Met 1

One thing that I heard about life is that it keeps on moving, no matter what happens around you. It's like a journey where you, stops at different stations before reaching your destination. In course of this journey you meet all short of people and gain experiences.
It was the mid-summer of 2009, I was returning back to my home from Lucknow via train. Train was almost empty, at least my bogie, that usually doesn't happen whenever I go somewhere. It was around 2:00 a.m. and I wasn't able to sleep as it was too hot inside the train and the only fan looking towards you was not ready to co-operate. I woke up and thought to take a walk. At the door of the train I saw someone standing, well its quiet obvious in such a weather to sit at the door where you can get some relief from summer. I thought next time I should made reservation of the door not of the seat. Well it was a girl, no no…. I think a lady would be an appropriate word. She was of 22-23 (age not figure), fair and of about 5 feet. I think it's enough description, looking outside strangely. I stood at the next door, how could I miss the chance of standing near a girl.
I just looked at her face, she was looking so sad and confused. I thought she was thinking to jump from the running train. I went to her and asked,
I: What are you up to?
She: None of your business.
I: I know, but are u really planning to jump?
She just stared at me as I have read her mind. But told nothing.
I continued…
I: I don't think it's a good idea.
She: Can't you just leave me alone?
I: Yes, I can but I don't want to miss a chance of watching someone jumping from a running train.
She: You guys, all are same. You don't have feelings, you can't understand, what problem I am facing?
I: You are absolutely right, I may not know your problem and I don't want to. But one thing I m sure of that it's really not a good idea.
She: You had nothing to do with all these, leave me on all my own.
I: OK, I'll leave but just tell me you will not jump.
She: Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?
I: Well, I am someone who doesn't want you to jump because sex ratio of girls and boys is already less and if you girls keep on jumping from train like this it will get worse and I don't want to die unmarried. I have nothing to do with your life but I m thinking of mine.
She: Do you know me?
I: No, but one thing I know is that suicide is the permanent solution of some temporary problem.
She: No, I think it's the only way to end the entire problem. "Na main rahungi, Na pareshani".
I: But have you thought of one thing what will happen if you didn't die what if you became a handicap? I think that life would be more difficult than this one.
Have you ever thought of your parents, your brother-sister, and your friends? What will happen to them?
She remained quiet.
I: Who in this world don't have problem? But every problem has its solution. You just need to find it out.
She was not saying anything, just looking at me and perhaps weeping. Have you ever seen some girl crying? Really they look cuter while crying. I have completed with my dialogues and waiting for her response.
I: If you are going to jump, then will you please do it soon as I need to pee and I can't hold it for longer time.
She just smiled and went to her berth. I also went to mine.
I felt someone moving my legs, I opened my eyes, and it was her, holding two cups of tea standing beside my seat. I looked at watch it was 6:00 a.m. I hate waking up in the morning but how can I refuse a girl.
She offered me the tea and said thanx. Her name was Riya, she has just completed her B.Pharma. and her boyfriend on the last day of college had told her that now everything is over, our relationship is ended now. He didn't love her anymore. That was all she was upset for and planning to suicide.
Oh… GOD girls are really impossible, that was all. That's why she wanted to die? I really can't believe this, how can one take such a stupid decision over such a stupid thing. Now I was feeling like pushing her from the train. But whatever I enjoyed the tasteless train's tea.
We exchanged our numbers and she left as her station had come.
And the very next day she called me……

To be continued………

Farewell

Finally my B.TECH is ended, and I have nothing to do here."Now its time to go sir, let us RULE the college", Juniors have the best way to say that by giving a FAREWELL party. Yes, its our farewell party, where we got the last chance to have a look of beutiful juniors and of course women looking girls(in Sariees and a lot of make-up) of our batch. Sometimes its become really difficult to recognize them as Are they the same? who sat next to me in the classroom.
Not only girls boys are also very busy for tonight party. They have done a lot of shopping, some also have visited beauty parlours. Oh.... I really hate this to spend this much money for just a few hours, but its has its own excitment and fun. Just look into the corridors of hostel guys are waiting to dry their face packs, some are shouting outside the bathroom, someone running for press, all this fun. How can one ever forget?
In the mean time we heard the sound of "NAGADA"(a musical instrument) in the courtyard of the hostel. It means juniors have come to take us to the venue of farewell party. We all are ready now, but how can we just go? We just wait so that a junior comes personally to invite us, requesting not to delay. Now its better, and we are ready to attend the farewell party.

At the venue, enterence is covered with beautiful juniours( Of course girls), to "TILAK" us, we are greeted with clapping of juniors(both). Now the party has started and juniors are presenting some item numbers, but we are more interested in lookig at the girls column and deciding who is looking better. And then the the main event of the party started (waits its not the dinner), actually its the "TITLE" given to each seniors and the main thing about them is "they are
really stupid".
Suddenly we got news that the dinner is ready and everybody rush towards the dinner table, leaving all those stupid title behind as everyone is waiting for dinner only. We really need to struggle to get a dinner plate and have something eatable over it.

And when the party ended I just took a look of all faces of my batchmates, they are not happy anymore. I can't understand what is happening to them? and suddenly I realises me too very sad, what is happening to us? what feeling it is? OH... its the thought of seperation that is hurting so much. we have to leave all our friends here, there will be no more late night cards, no counter-strike,no late night studies, no proxies, no bunks and no life. Tell me its not true. Tell me that a farewell doesn't mean loosing all this, Tell me we are not leaving. How can all this end suddenly? How all those four years can be left? I can see tears in those eyes, its really hurting.

Doesn't it seems like some "BIDAEI" scene of some hindi movie. Hey... man we can't stay here anymore untill we get some "year-back" in the result and as much as I know nobody is ready for that. So lets explore the world ahead, we can just stick to our college girls there are more out there. Who will take care of them? Someone have to take the responsibility. So cheer-up and pack your bags and clean all the mess you have created in your room.

Finally I want to say that I am really gonna miss my college, my hostel, my friends, all the fun and of course all you girls "Don't worry I have snaps of all of you".
