A story!

“At what time you would be back?” Aditi asked Sameer.

“It’s Friday! I would be back early. When would you be back?” said Sameer as he starts his car.

“I’ll be late, have a meeting at the end of the day.” Replied Aditi and waved her hand to say good bye.

Sameer met Aditi few years back and they fell in love instantly and it was not late when they got married. Love at first sight! Theirs was not a fairytale love story but they fell head  over heels in love with each other.

“Did he really forget?” thought Aditi as she closed the doors.

It was their marriage anniversary. They had always celebrated it on a grand scale. But today none of them wished the other. Aditi had planned a big surprise for Sameer. She had taken an off from the work. Yet, she expected Sameer to wish her. She was upset but then off late Sameer was extremely engaged in his work. Though he never talks about it but pressure was on his head from every corner. He always pretended that black is white. Aditi knew about it.

She spent the all day in decorating the house and preparing the dishes. By the time she finished, it was five in the evening. She took a quick shower. She opened her wardrobe and selected a purple spaghetti dress that she bought recently.

Jason looked into his watch and got up from the bed. He went near the window and opened the curtains. He looked outside through the window. It was dark. He opened it and a cool breeze caressed his face. He stood there for few minutes and was still looking outside when a faint smile appeared on his face. He closed the window and came back to his bed. He looked at the watch again as he took it into his hands. He sighed as his head fell. He got up and took a quick shower.

It was nine in the morning when the first ray of Sun made its way to the earth after hustling with the gloomy family of clouds all through the morning. Clouds slowly begun to disappear and a bright rainbow emerged on top of them. Winters were finally here!

‘Add two more roses to it’ Jason said to the flower man.

‘It will cost twenty more’ Flower man said as he added two more roses to the bouquet.

‘Do it!’  Jason said and paid him the money. He looked at the beautiful bouquet once again and begun to walk. It was Samantha’s birthday. Her love for roses was legendary! It was more famous than any movie actor in their college. She had declared it on every possible occasion.

Despite being friends and in the same class for four years, it was only during their last days at college when Jason and Samantha realised that they are not just friends..!!   

On Samantha’s birthday previous year Jason had proposed her for marriage.

I'm aLiVe!! I WaS NoT DeAd EiThEr.... :)

Excited!! Really excited!! Finally I’m writing, writing after a long time, after two months precisely. It was really tough to not write anything for such a long period. Oh dear, I missed it badly!! Ever since I started blogging (though it’s been barely five monthsJ), it has become one of the most important facets of my day to day activities. And to take a break from writing only after couple of months is a sin. Come on! I deserve to be penalized. Moreover it affected my Indirank (It is down by 5 points!! L).

And hence arise the big question-   What was I up to all these days?

Well, many things happened. First of all I fell in love again. Yes, again! It happens way too frequently. It was one sided love is a completely different story altogether. Than all of a sudden an urge to explore southern India made its way into my heart and my mind (They tend to work on same frequency- my heart and mind). And I did go to few places- Ooty (2^nd time), Waynard, Hogenakkal, Bandipur, Manipal. A thought came in my mind to write a blog on my experience like many bloggers do in their travel diary. But almost immediately I realised that I’m not apt for travel diary.

I went home to give my Mom and Dad a surprise on their marriage anniversary and for them it was the best gift and it was enough of a reason for me to feel proud. We celebrated the occasion in a big way. Lovely memories!!

And when I decided to come back to writing I got an offer, a job offer. And with the new job my stay at Bangalore came to an end. It was very tough to bid adieu to Bangalore. I’m insanely in love with the city. I had spent four years of my life here, four best years. It has given me uncountable things. I made new friends and met few oldies. I got my first job and first pay check here. It introduced me to pubs! I will never forget Purple Haze. It will be on my high priority list whenever I would go to Namma Bengaluru next time. Yes, my heart broke here. Those were the four toughest month of my life. Not easy when you have to join your first company barely few days after breaking up after years of relationship. But again it was the same city that helped me to overcome.

Anyway, now I have left Bangalore and moved to New Delhi. “Don’t go to Delhi, it’s very hot there” people said. And I agree, it indeed is very “HOT” !!.. It’s been only five days since I landed in the city and I’m already in love with it. Yes, I’m missing Bangalore and friends but on the other hand I’m overwhelmed by the response of my old friends who are in Delhi. Feels great when there are so many people who love and careJ.

So the bottom line is- I will write more frequently and definitely will not take a break of two months again. I just wish people who are following my blog and who were regular readers of my stupid fictional stories would again come back and read them. I hope I would do a better job this time.

Guys, I’m Alive!!!!.....  J J
