Wooden Headed Wooden Bench

I was on way to school  on my thriller. Let me introduce whose thriller? It’s my bi-cycle where I had spent some great moments on it since I was 10 . Peddling….peddling…..Ah! Half way to school and as usual my friend joined me; characteristically we have been on this since we both earned our cycles.

Me: Hi! Ashish.

He : Hey Buddy !

Me: How about yours preparation regarding today’s exam.

He: I am good. Just went over the syllabus. And how you are doing?

Me: Good..!

He: Sounds great. Then you will be helping me today with the exam.

Me: Let’s see…..!

 So we had some talk regarding exam. We completed our morning sessions exam and I was a bit low since I marked 2 bits wrong. We came to our class to get ourselves prepared for the afternoon session one.

Hey ‘Ashish….!’ How about yours? Uh..! I left a couple of bits. We walked into our classroom. We are having good time, teasing each other and making fun of each other since we are the last benchers of our class. Our actions have levelled up. We started pulling out each other shirts. He was in lead by one shot in pulling my shirt. A triplet of girls sat in our front row.  They suddenly gazed at us, we felt a bit awkward, stopped our actions and started studying. Then suddenly a voice screamed from the front. Hey…! Ashish could you please come here.

Ashish was sitting left to me and I was at the corner of the bench. So he had to cross me from behind. Evil thought persisted on my mind in order to secure the leading point so that we would be equal. He stood on the bench and was crossing me and I pulled his shirt. He jerked with a sound and jumped when I took out his shirt. Ashish went high and landed wounded on his fore-head in a fraction of seconds by hitting the bench in front of us.

I screamed out Aa…shish! Blood rushed out of his head. The girls got frightened in seeing the blood and raised over their voices. I and some of my friends took Ashish to cleanse his wound. Water ran in my eyes. I thought that I will be screwed today. One of our lecturer investigated about the accident and we had given the false statement. Ashish was taken to hospital.It was lunch time. I sat with my friends and Ashish was missing. Nothing gulped into my mouth. I was experiencing the guilt and the incident rewound on my eyes.

I need to give exam in the afternoon. Still Ashish has not entered the examination hall. I am unable to concentrate. Finally my pal arrived after 30 min with a band aid covered over his fore head. I was numb struck and the situation became better in a couple of minutes. School ends for the day after the exam end. I and Ashish came out of our school gate and was shocked to see his Dad. He asked me “Are you Jayanth!” ‘ Yes! Uncle. And I’m really sorry and it has happened unknowingly’. He hasn’t said anything. He just chuckled.

Me: Ashish! I’m sorry yar.

He: No issues dude. Lite.

Me: What did the doctor say.

He: He just stitched the wound, gave tablets and asked for a visit after two days to undress the wound.

Me: Oh! Ouch! May be you were hurt while they dressed your wound.

He: They gave anaesthesia man.

We departed after half way from school.

I was badly disturbed. I haven’t said anything to my Mom nor to my Dad. I was low all the rest of the day. I marked and remembered the day. It’s 3^rd September.

I had seen Ashish again on Teachers Day (5^Th Sept). His wound was undressed. A scratch can be seen on his fore head as a remark of the stitched one.

This information will remain secret unless my parents read this.                  

Thanks for viewing......!

I Too Had A Love Story

      

Dil Ki Takhti Par Hoon Likthi
Ishqan Ishqan
Jug Kya Jaane Dil Ko Mere
Ishqan Ishqan

               It’s my summer vacation. As mandatory I had to do my internship during this break. So I have planned to do it in my interested area.  Lots of discussion between friends and we finally planned and booked our tickets, landed in Vijayawada.

So my internship is at VTPS(Vijayawada Thermal Power Station). The name itself is big and I thought  good days are ahead. I made up my mind to stay hostel. Rooms were petite with all comforts. I along with 3 of my friends decided to share the room.

Its summer that to in the vicinity of thermal station. The whole atmosphere is so hot that we spent most of our time out-of-doors. We are in such a situation that we hardly slept in the wee hours.

So we barely woke up at 8:00 in the morning and get dressed followed by breakfast to our training classes. Our classes are similar to conference halls. Centralised A.C. This is the only drug that keeps us alive from the scorching sun from dawn to dusk. On alternate days we will be having a plant visit. So everything is fine and it has been a week and it was the time life was dull and dry.

As regular its evening and I decided to go out and have something as supper since I got myself uninterested in my so called canteen food. It is around 6’Oclock in the evening and I was on walk towards the main gate. The pleasant air made me pleasing and I stood still enjoying the pleasurable moment with my eyes closed.

 When I opened my eyes I saw an auto in front of the gate. A young lady got down from the auto-rickshaw. I couldn’t see her clearly since I was at a mean distance. I moved further and the lady turned towards the entrance. I was in fact figuring her. The security guard had turned on the light at the entrance. Yep! Now I could see her. She looked beautiful. I was moving toward her and her towards me. I had seen her and I felt she too noticed me. My guess was right. A voice interrupted “Excuse me! Could you please help me with the way to hostel?”  Yah! Sure. I helped her with the directions and she thanked me.

I came outside and later my friends joined me. We had our supper and chit chat, gossips and finally back to our rooms.  I along with my friends used to hang out in the aisle on the sides  of the garden which is centred. Lots of enjoyment, laughter takes place more often. I loved the company with my guys.

A batch of our class girls used to be in their rooms which are faced in front of our rooms.  They lived in their own world. Finally I started checking out for the unknown lady. I got to know that she had to share her room with my college girls. They lived in two rooms. Luckily she had chosen the opposite room of mine. Oh! Sorry perhaps it’s me lucky.

So as often as we became neighbours I here and there exchanged my glances and she used to smile in return. After completion of our classes I used to play cricket along with my friends. But in point of fact I had seen the unknown lady sitting alone watching T.V.  I found myself it’s the correct time to talk with her and skipped the cricket match. I joined her. I said “Hi!”. She replied “Hello!”. So I started talking

Me: So U are interested in watching T.V 

                      

She: Not as a couch potato. I was feeling bored. So I had come to scan the remote.

Me: May I know your good name please!

She: Meghna, from Bangalore.

Me: Jayanth, from Vizag. Which college?

She: NIT Suratkal – Bangalore.

Me: Oh! That’s great. I’m from K.L.University – Vijayawada. Are  you  basically from Bangalore?

She: No. I study there .I am from Hyderabad. And we had recently moved to Bangalore.

Me: Oh!

And we had a chat for nearly thirty minutes. She received a call And said “Excuse me! I got to go. See you later.”

I said “Ok. Please go ahead.” She left from my sight. And I continued watching the TV.

My smile on my face said “I am back”.

She is good-looking, very intense, speaks very well. She had a kind of curly hair up to neck, lovely voice, hates foul languages and often wears jeans. Has a style of her own and hardly uses make-up. One can look at her non-stop. One can enjoy nature and ladies for a long time.

At night I used to spend time reading novels and at that time I was in a mission in completing “The 2 States – by Chetan Bhagat”. I found my situation to be similar and somehow the impact fell upon me.

Later I used to surf net in my laptop. I used to connect it with my Blue tooth. So  I could see Meghna’s phone also available. So Idea of Nokia ran on my mind.

“Nokia -Connecting people”.

 But I didn’t dare  as there were friends in and around me.

I used to have exams in the training session and Meghna always topped the test and me with average marks. Our training period is going to complete and Still I haven’t expressed  my feeling to her. This time I decided to top in test and share my views.

One day we are taken to a substation which takes an hour from our place. I, Meghna and my friends and her friends have boarded on the same bus. I tried to talk to her. I noticed that she is busy with her friends. I kept my vision upon her, How she expresses her emotions, her smile and everything and the journey completed with in minutes. After the visit to substation all are exhausted and I lined a way to talk to her. I took the chance and she talked a lot about her carrier and education. But She is a lady who is beautiful with a clarity of thought. Don’t get me wrong I appreciate that. How many girls will feel that way.  I am absolutely opposite regarding my career.

So the time has come for me to work hard since the days were about to finish. At times I took books from her. And at the last day I by a hair's breadth stood next to her in the exam. I decided to talk to her.

It is the day where I had to get back to my home. I packed my baggage and I was ready to leave in the evening. I saw Meghna in the lounge. As a final point I met her to say good bye. I greeted her.

She said “Hi!”.

I said “Hey! I am leaving today.”

She: Oh! We had a great time here. It’s been nice meeting you.

Me: So when do u depart.

She: I have some unknown relatives here. Dad’s gonna come and take there in the evening. Hey! You wait  I will introduce you to my dad.

Me: Oh! It’s my pleasure. I will.

She: Sounds great. So what’s up?

Me: Meghna I think that we had become good friends.

She: Yah!

Me: So..... I...!

She:  Sorry, Didn’t get you.

Me: I fell in love with you Meghna. Please don’t  think it's  cheap. Morning heart beat, Illayiraja background score, lady in white dress similar to the book ‘God Father’. All this happened in a moment.

I am in love with you Meghna. I didn’t behave like this. I don’t know that I have that guts also. But I haven’t seen a girl like you.

I just don’t wanna let you go. I should tell this “I LOVE YOU MEGHNA”.

She:   What are you expecting from me. I don’t have any belief in ‘Love at first sight’. You look good. The way you speak , the things you do everything is fine. But I don’t have feelings upon you. I am sorry.

Lets be good friends Jayanth. What do you say.

Me: Friends…! We can get rid of the things which we hate by simply closing our eyes. But the feelings which we don’t like they always run behind us.

I cannot accept you as a friend Meghna. I left the place in silence.

I went to my room. Thought for a while.  It’s getting late. I had to leave. I took my luggage came out and went near to Meghna. “Meghna !  I need to leave. And I apologised her”. “Good Bye “I said. And I left the place by finally waving her.

                                                " THE WOODS ARE LOVELY DARK AND DEEP OVER
                                                I HAD MILES TO GO, AND PROMISES TO KEEP
                                                                     AND ALL TURNED UP."

JHALAK DIKLAAJA

I and my friend Charan are pursuing B.E.The days have passed and we became thick friends.
We have planned to attend a workshop.We finalised our bookings and were greatly delighted in attending our First Workshop.

Next day,On the fine morning the day was so pleasant.Cool breeze of air is passing over my forehead.With my sleepy eyes I hardly saw the Clock ,it's still 6 O'clock.So I thought of lying down and decided to wake up after half an hour
.
When I woke up I realised that I am left with half an hour in attending the venue.I checked the face of my phone,it smiled with 9 missed calls which are from Charan .I immediately called him.He sprang upon me.Later I consoled him that we would be on time.

Finally we reached the venue late by an hour .The place is hugely crowded with a mob of students from different colleges . All I could see is the beauty around me.The whole place seems so excited that we are lost in a different world.The heavenly place seems to be as "JAN TAR  MAN TAR".Finally we found our location.

There is a lady standing heavily dressed  in a green sari .Perhaps her complexion was fair .She is having ‘Dairy Milk Silk’ in her hand .The Choco flavour has made her red lips turned to brownish .I then planned to have her lips being read .So I decided to ask whether the program  has started . My attempt in making her lips was succeeded and she uttered “Yes!All the formal speeches are over and the workshop has begun 30 min ago".Oh! Thank you Miss......!...!.Then she said 'Aashuka Deepthi '. At last I waved my hand to Deepthi.

We hurried like dogs in search of food into the room.The door was closed.One could hear the speech behind the walls.We opened the door.We are awestruck that the entire room was crowded.one could hardly see the seats in and around girls.Perhaps some of the boys are ushered near ladies .Charan who was a bit shy enough compared to me some how won a place right to some boy.Finally I had to share a place with girls.
Of course I have been waiting for it.Some how I managed to find a  row where I could be comfortable.

While passing through the aisle I was tensed and felt a bit weak.Though the room was heavily cooled I could feel a little warmth and sweat in my body.I reached the place and suddenly my voice shivered
"Can I Sit ?"."yes!" came the reply.She shifted a bit.I sat next to her.After being myself comfortable I just introduced myself.There has been no response.Later I started taking out my belongings and then came the reply from her "Oh! it's fine".The moment I listened her sweet voice I expected her intro.But I failed.She was greatly immersed in the lecture.Again I was busy with my work and started searching my bag and the pockets here and there.Again the voice interrupted me.It was hers.The charm of her voice had turned my head towards her.It is the moment where our faces met.

Damn!OMG !Beautiful eyes,beautiful face, beautiful women.She was simply superb, awesome. I finally found myself the luckiest guy of the class .Any one who could pass by her could definitely Gage her like a mannequin with a rotating head. I was on cloud nine and my heart has been in search of a song which best suits her. Later I realised that my ears have sensed some whispers which are alike that we hear when we are half asleep. It’s her who has been talking where I barely neglected her magical saccharine voice. Her sharp ‘Hello!’ word  had finally interrupted me and later on she said “Hey! Are you alright. Finds you have been looking for some thing. I could help you to my extent”. I finally in a bit of confused state has asked her a ‘pencil please!’. Her rosy lips smiled and her hand which is fair with fashionable bracelet around her wrist reached me with a pencil . "please stay cool and if you need any help don't hesitate"replied she.I thanked her.

During the workshop we hardly exchanged our smiles but I unnoticeably started staring her.I zoomed her face@12 pixels where her face is not perfectly round,thin and deep eye brows,small ears with tiny dangling ear rings and the small chaff between her eye brows made her face more gorgeous.

And at last the day has come to closing stages.I strongly fixed in my mind to hear her name from her magical accent tone. So I gave her the pencil and “May I know your name please?” Then she said “Aamukta”. Her name resonated from my ears to mind and then to heart where my heart beat has raced up with her name. Out of curiosity I asked her which college. She said ‘K.L.U’. Shit it’s the same college where I have been studying. I said “Me same college EEE 2^nd year. She then replied ‘ECE and 2^nd year’. She then finally said ‘I need to go. My friends have been waiting’. As a final point I said ‘Nice meeting you. See you soon’. She looked towards me with a suspicious smile and waved her hand.

Then the whole night I have been thinking and her images are being slide showed over my eyes.

The next day I investigated about the girl where I had come to know that she tags the title “Miss ECE”.
