Confessions... Part 1

Don’t we all become informed conscious insane sometime or other, waiting for the imminent fall to come by? Or, was it because they say that there is also a reason in the madness sometimes. Mine was the fatal combination of great expectations brewed up in some sweet old cravings of a young teen. Now, we are delving into that dangerous but closely held territory of our lives. Haven’t we been all intoxicated in that feeling of being in love at first sight for the same old dumbest reason in the world? Believe me, mine was no different Psst! She was the most beautiful girl; I had ever come across in my life. Don’t I already sound like a loser? Head over the heels could arguably have been a little less to suggest my situation at that time. Sometimes, lady luck also makes her divine intervention and this little boy had also his days with her.
So, we were now friends though not proclaimed yet but there was silent agreement from her at least to this ‘friend’ part. All Boy meets girl story start the same way, don’t they? Surely, I didn’t have the choice not to be friend with her. And time just flew by in the celebration and fun of being at a family marriage, the reasons for which we both had come from different parts of the land. And so was the marriage ceremony and there was no ostensible reason to stay back at that supposedly cloud cuckoo’s land seeding my love story. Just like we met, we had to leave. I didn’t have even the slightest idea when or whether I could ever meet her after this. Believe me, I was least bothered about it that time, sometimes you miss the finer details in the moments of ecstasy. Rather, I am not sure even today whether that really was because of love or the hangover of happy times spent with her. One thing I was sure that this was a just small beginning to a long enduring story. To sum it up, she came, stayed and gone from my life leaving few of her blurring flashes etched in my memory lane. And they also got swept away under the tumult of life. We both got lost in our own worlds- different, distant and never converging. I was still waiting for the second inning to start and years just passed away. Surely, Destiny had some other plans and my second inning had to wait a rather too long.
