Small Things brings U Back.

Just a simple message from your side, took me four years back.
The times that we spend, the late nights messages that we shared,
All of them suddenly came alive. Years that we spent,time which can never get back. Those walks together holding hands, came to a life.
It was then I realized its all gone. It was just something which will be with me forever, whether to  accept it or deny it...

But that message made me recall the best days of my Life.


It was my first day in college, I was damn excited.
New life, new friends and Yippie, an altogether different life.
I parked my car and went straight inside, showing my card.
Looking out for some one, whom I know, I decided to walk up to the Volleyball court.
As it is , I was from sports background, so this made more then sense to me.
I walked up to the court and saw a couple of seniors already gearing up for a practice session.
I  greeted them and was asked to change immediately. No choice but to obey.
Remember First day at College!!!

As I started My drills, laughing and enjoying with my fellow team mates,
 enquiring about the crowd and realizing how girls go mad seeing the college sports stars,
I suddenly saw the star of the class!!!
Oh man, what a sight, U came U looked here and there and then faded away.
I was speechless and in the process was hit by the ball on my face.
[Photo khich gayi] the slang used when some one gets hit on his face while playing Volley Ball.
It took me a few moments to realize wat just transpired, It was something that never happened.
Well I again got back to my work, smashing my way around  and made my seniors to admire my Game.
Hey  But my mind was altogether somewhere else. Occasionally trying to glance my way around here and there, just to catch a glimpse of her, I thought my first day would be a hell lot of Fun!! Yeah yeah!!
Finished the practice it was just 10’o clock, I was  glad and all geared up for the challenges and experiences ahead.



Went outside college for a sutta, just to get back my heartbeat.
I was sure it was something I never experienced.
No, I aint talking about the Ball that hit my face, though that was also the first time,
It was the impact that was created by that sight of yours.
Here I again entered, this time I was caught by the seniors.
Of course , U expect something to happen on the first day..

There was a girl coming out of her car wearing yellow Churidar and
 Here I was told to go and tell her that she is looking pretty and give her a flower...

I did not even got a chance to say No, all I had to do was go go and go.
I went and stood there, she was just passing by with head held high.
In a flash, I told her hey I am a first year student, U look pretty and hhhhhhere is a flower for U.
She was shocked, I knew I was gone and there was every one standing and laughing.
She just walked away and I stood there with my collars standing like those old hindi movie actors as if I have done something extraordinary.
Finally I decided to go for the lecture and I saw you.
Wow you are in my class, hey hey hey not talking about  the girl in yellow Churidar.
Days passed by I was enchanted with your charismatic presence.the air of confidence,conviction,attitude and all that was needed to be perfect was possessed by you..
Just any guy would lose his heart for you.

We never talked much..just an occasional hi and more of bye's to which i happily reverted to.
It all went casual until one day I asked you to make my assignment, the thing that usually happens when we enter college.

U said happily that I will do, I thought hey she is d one wooooooooooo Hoooooooo!!!!

One who will complete my assignment..
Suddenly I got a message at nite,
Wow a new number.. New admirer.. I said to myself.
Hey Harsh, your assignment is complete, will give it tomorrow was all that you said.
Here I was overjoyed and waiting desperately to meet U and in the process did not went for the practice...
The Bus stand is pretty nearby, would U mind walking down with me.
My heart skipped a couple of beats, when you came up with this...
Next day U came to college wearing a strap around your leg, U told me U hurt urself...
I helped U to the class and from now on those hi’s got some extended conversations...
First year went by and U became the most sought after and I became your best friend...
Those 15 minutes of walking around were damn amazing to end a tiring day...
God! I was so proud to be your best friend, hey I never knew I would start getting Linked up with you!
Deep inside it was something I wanted to,  and the overwhelming feeling was something that made me say Woooooooooo Hooooooooooooooo!!!!

I never knew things would turn around so much and jealousy will creep in, specially when the gals around would act as professional Bitches.I would be so pissed off and would go for long sutta breaks whenever somebody talked bad or bitched about U.
Those coffees around, those silent talks, those late night messages were something I was looking forward to, Coming to the college and attending class was wat you intended to do.
28th December was the day that turned my life, I realized that I was in love and that too with a girl who is already commited and moreover leaving.
To sum it up, it was as if everything was falling apart.
Miss charming and mysterious told me that she will Miss me a lot.
25th January was the time that you made me realize , it was more than just hie’s and Bye’s
Now, I had the best girl, one can ever dream of, the epitome of perfection, the  one who made me sing..
My dil goes Hmmmmm….
Nopes, I was not dreaming but the reality was yet to sink in.
Every talk , every message made me feel as if I am talking to some one who will be with me for lifetime.
As some one said, Giving sum1 all your love is not an assurance that he or she will love you back... 
The smell of coffee is still fresh, those midnight messages still make me excited as hell, the touch of yours still melts my heart.
I am glad it happened, it happened for good
And as the hanging on my wall says it all,
We are Friends Forever.!!!!
Ps: The girl in yellow churidar is  an assistant in the physics lab and I went ahead and apologized to her the next day.
