Nature Was Against Me

Share

" Nature Against Me ".... U guys must be wondering what kind of topic am I writing on ..

I got to tell you things shortly before I start blabbering ....

I had this girl whom I got to know over the Internet ( it's a fashion now a days

to have a girl over the internet, but i mean serious business, not for         

fashion whatsoever ). Anyways this girl doesn't live in my city so i just didn't

get any chance to meet her till date. But I like this girl and happen to find every possible

chance to meet her, and today might just be the day. No No.... I haven't asked her out

to meet me or something. I'm too afraid to do that. If she takes it in a wrong way i might

just lose a very good friend of mine and believe me i won't want that. Anyone won't want

that to happen to them, would they ?

I just learnt that she was in my city for some business of hers which didn't consider me ofcourse.

She told me that she was going for a movie here in my city. I so wished i could just meet her

at the theater and i could also watch the movie. I couldn't tell her that( remember my coward side rather a conservative side ? ).

So i decided to just have a glance of the beauty whom i wished to meet every single day.

 Actually i wanted to find out IF-SHE-WAS-FOR-REAL !! How can such a beauty even

exist in the world, i thought. And so i set out making my mind up to have atleast a look a her.

I so wanted to see her. And do you think i could tell my parents the whole story ?? Naa......

I couldn't. So i had to lie at home that i was going to watch the movie with a friend of mine(NOTICE :

I went alone to see the movie ).

So reached the theater at 5:30 PM. Happy that i might just get a chance to see her, i booked a ticket.

Man, the movie was in 3D. My first movie that i was going to watch in 3D. The movie was a horror one and being in 3D, the movie got to have some effect, I thought. Ok Ok , back to the topic, i know if the movie was in 3D or not won't bother you.

So, After getting the ticket i hoped to see her between the time still left for the movie to start

and I was deadly nervous and excited too. Will i see her? Is she for real? Will she notice me?

my mind was crowded by a hell lot of question and those could only be answered by her.

I wished so actually. She's got to answer them. Movie was to start by 6:00 PM and i had still 25 minutes left with me. I just stared around hoping any moment i would be able to see her.

20 minutes flew by and heart skipped a beat, or may be two beats, no no actually i couldn't

have count the skipped beats. My heart was beating so fast than normal. Why hasn't she come

yet ? for it was time since she had told me that her movie was to begin at 6:00 PM and i had

come accordingly. My eyes couldn't be controlled anymore. Here they go, there they go. My eyes looked

every single inch of the theater but still i couldn't figure out where she was. The Movie was going to start in

5 minutes and she wasn't there yet God Dammit !! What do i do ? My senses starting cursing me for

my move to have a glimpse of her. That moment was like earth slipped underneath and i was like falling

into the hole or rather a gap hence created. Damn !! I gave up. I thought she wasn't going to come.

Heart broke now i thought now it was time for the movie. Having got a ticket to the movie, I gotta value it

and extract my piece of entertainment i had paid for. But how could I for i didn't see her dammit !! Still i had no choice but to go inside and i did. The guys inside the theater guided me to my seat looking for my seat number on my ticket. The movie

begun and i gotta tell u the movie was good. Now i knew why she wanted to and actually had watched the movie many times in the theaters already and she was going to watch it again today. But ya, it was disheartening for me for not being able to get what i came to the theater for. In the interval i messaged her if she was enjoying her movie if she had at all come to the theater and accidentally i missed her. The reply that

came from her was a thunderbolt.. Actually i found it quite funny how nature could play with me like this.

She said that she was coming for the movie the coming show at 9:00 PM as her uncle suggested that would be better. Now curse these uncles dude... Seriously gets in my way.What the (beep) !! . No offence against elders but how and why the heck did he get a idea that it would be better if we go for the next show? Next show was the night show 9PM onward and who take their children to watch a movie this late in the night. Wasn't that supposed to be dangerous and all?


 Never mind, i thought. My luck has always been against me whenever i expected something to happen for me. Its actually funny that if i expected

the opposite of what i want i usually got it. This time,i thought, perhaps i made a mistake by not expecting the opposite and i paid for it.

After the movie ended at around 8:20 PM i thought i could just wait for her to come. She was coming for the movie anyway the next show. Wait extended till 9:00 PM and i saw no sign of her.. Now this was the limit and i headed back home. Was trying to make a smiley face, for my mother could have noticed my sad and disheartened look on my face. I think she didn't notice

it. May be that meant i was a good actor( i can be a good actor ehh !! may be i would someday get my ticket to Bollywood someday and chance to romance those lovely actresses all waiting for me out there, i thought. But soon reality dragged like gravity does.). But how could that feeling solve my problem anyway. I came to know from her that she had actually went to the same theater for the 9:00 PM show of the movie where i was waiting to catch a look of her.But when, why and how the heck did i miss her ?I had screwed up big time. Now I was convinced " NATURE WAS AGAINST ME ".

I think I made her day special

Share

Yup, it was just a month away, her birthday I mean and I had to come up with something special. I asked her if she gonna gimme a treat on her birthday. I was heading downstairs then when yes came the reply. There was a sudden adrenaline rush in my body. I slipped and fell real bad but as it is said that when there’s this rush in the body, the body hardly feels any pain but the pain is felt the coming day. It was the case. It hurt like hell I must say but the excitement hid the pain.

I have no clue when it comes to thinking of a good gift for anyone’s birthday and I felt like being in a neck deep shit then. But friends were there for rescuing me from this shit. But their ideas didn’t look unique and I was looking for some out of the box idea to impress my girl (well not mine yet but hopefully). I found myself back in the shit. For the first time Google didn’t help a least bit .

My exams were drawing near so had to study since I had screwed my first semester exams and didn’t want to repeat the same this time. But as expected I screwed again big time. Forget the exams, I had to think of a gift, after all I was going to meet her in the end.

I thought to ask Govind, my long distance friend. Well there was this 2 hour long discuss routine it was finally decided. Her gift was decided. Yes Govind’s brilliant little brain came up with something worth a shot. It excited me knowing no bounds. Decision was as:

1)      24 messages. (One birthday message every hour to make her feel special)

2)      A sketch of her. (I draw pretty good ;) )

3)      A poem for her. (Of course written by me, Govind can't help me in that :P)

4)      And a teddy bear. (Yes how could I miss that? Girls love stuffed animals after all)

She was living in my city alone in a hostel and her parents were living in a nearby town. So she said that her parents would be coming on her birthday. “Uncle and Aunty are coming, that’s good news”, I said. She sounded very much excited about it; after all she was meeting them after two whole months. I wanted to meet them too for I wanted to thank them for creating her. For contributing 46 chromosomes (or is it 44? I’m a dead man in recalling things & something like biology was definitely a disaster but who cares, only nerds who are reading this will be bothering themselves for it). I just had to thank them. They had become the second most important Mom & Dad on Earth.

Well whatever you might say, it was just my bad luck. On the day before her birthday I had to go to my village with my parents and how could I say no to them and if at all I did what was I suppose to tell them? So as usual fate was never on my side. And all the discussion went seemed a waste now. All the excitement was good for nothing. I was fucked up (sorry for using the F word but that was exactly how I felt). My life sucked.

Being in my village I couldn’t hand over the gifts I planned for her. But the 24 messages were still ON. I decided to call her up at midnight, sharp!!! Now somehow I managed the 24 messages and wrote them on my cell and saved them in my draft box so that I won’t have to type them later. I was planning ahead already. I didn’t want to screw it up now.

It was time. 11:59 PM, the clock read. I went up to the terrace with a nervous feeling. I had Goosebumps already. Why was it so hard to talk to her over the phone? But this time I had to do it. I wanted to be the first person to wish her that day. I called her up.

“Hello”, I said trying to figure out if she was over the phone not any other person.

"Hi Manmay!!. Tell me why you called me this late?” a voice from the other side said.

I was sure now it was her. Thank God. Phew!! Yes yes back to the main topic.

“Well I just couldn’t miss your birthday wish, could I?” I smirked. Well of course she couldn't see my expression, I wasn’t video calling :P.

“Happy Birthday” I managed with just wishing her and not ending up singing the happy birthday tune that to over the phone. My voice is a disaster according to me and had I sung it she would definitely have hanged the phone up.

“Thank You so much. You are the first person to wish me”, she said.

I fist pumped in the air. I had done it. YEAH!!!

“You’re welcome. I think I should hang up. You must be awaiting many calls. And yeah best of luck for your exam tomorrow. Bye and Good Night”

“Thank You and Good Night”.

I hung up.

“Yes Yes Yes“ my mind was roaring. I was on cloud nine or the farther end of the sky if there is one but I was freaking out excitement.

Now it was time for the first message to reach her phone. 24 messages meant I had a sleepless night that day. Everything had to go well after all. With every hour passing my fight with my eyes grew intense but this time I had to win the battle. I couldn’t sleep for the next 24 hours. Thankfully I didn’t screw up that time. I didn't sleep and it all went well.

My face cheered up after her reply to the 24 messages came.

“The Messages were Lovely. Thank You So Much”.

I think I made her feel special that day.

New Blog !!!

Finally my new blog. I had a blog made previously quite popular one i guess but apparently faced some issues with it but still it exists but for a reason or two i can't mention my last blog's link here. I wanted total secrecy of my new blog from the one (u know, the one ;)). Well i guess i will posting here some of my posts and this blog will be a work of my writing entirely.

This blog, the name suggests, will be about my experiences in my life, about my love and of course my guitar without which my life, which seemed to be not so complete before, is now complete i guess. Guess because may be there is still something in my life missing. May be my love. My first and only love. I can't declare that what i feel can be framed into a name which the world entitles as "Love". I don't know what love is like but yeah there have been some experiences which i would like to share will all.

Thanks for paying a visit. You guys are one of first to be here and Hope you stay close to it because motivation is what i require to write something and i know you guys will help me with that. Thanxxx again. Stay tuned. :)
