 An Encounter 


Hey space! Its been long, today the reason for scribbling down something is because of a very old friend, who reminded me that I used to write, so  after a year of tryst in the journey of completing my masters, I was on my way to the University today, a bit shattered with the people around me, but still with a new spirit kindled in my heart I said Ki Farak Penda hain and was on my way to the Mad House, the most beautiful climate only when your at home, but mucky and yucky outside, all prepared for the day ahead, I left home, managed to reach my destination and as usual was desperately in search of a rickshaw along with a friend, and trust me this friend was not the normal, cute, mad stupid friend you have, but was among the one who would irritate you to the core. 
          Suddenly from no where there comes a rickshaw who agrees to take you to the University (which is a forbidden place in Mumbai where nobody wants to go) but in the rickshaw, there's already some one who's seated in , and there again I was doomed and said to myself "even this one's gone"; as I turned towards my friend I hear a voice calling out from the same rickshaw and I asked him "University", he said "Yes" and there we hopped in. Then he suddenly says" I'm off to The Grand Hyatt, I said OK, so he said You can get off at the University"; I was like" Dude Your a Savior" and as usual this irritating friend goes on and on and on and I was just thinking "oh God! what must be this guy thinking" and this Girl on the other hand cannot keep quiet, on our way towards the university, his phone rang and their he takes out his BB torch,and I'm like "Hmm impressive! Not bad and speaks well to, Naice!!" was the next thing. Then the rickshaw-wala and all three of us started having a conversation and he spoke Hindi too, and I was like "Accha Hain" and I had no other option but to keep on talking to this girl, because I didn't want her to embarrass me anymore, and then I was close  to the university, and then the moment had come where I had to get up and go my way, and I offered him to pay half the fare he was like "No please don't! I travel alone almost everyday to the Hyatt" but then Me and My  self -respect, so then the girl and I insisted and payed half of  the fare and thanked him and left.... SO on a rainy,messy day he was my only savior, nearly 20 to 25 minutes with this really cute stranger made my day, but still It's just an Encounter... which made no difference, as my heart beats and yearns for someone else.......
