A New year Story!

The weather is chilly. People gathered near the bon fire; warm and fuzzy. Some are drinking. Some are eating. Some are, of course, dancing! There is ear piercing "Popular" music playing in the back ground.Some are shouting "Wooooo"s for no apparent reason, perhaps to demonstrate they are full of joy?

As it is customary with any gathering, some lame guys are desperately trying to catch the attention of the members of the opposite sex. Some are announcing the unsolicited updates about the status of the current year:" 30 mins to midnight, Yaaaay" ,"20 mins to new year,Yaaaaaayy"

Oblivious to all this hungama, in the ground, in the shade of a lonely tree on a bench sat a lonely geek. The bench is all wet from the mist but the geek doesn't care. He is looking at the sky. Directly above his head is the moon.

Some dude came: Hey, man! Wattare u doing here?

Geek: I am watching the moon

The dude apparantly was at loss for words.But he gathered his thought and said: Watching... Why..?? Why would anybody, any sane person, sit and watch the f*&in moon on a new year's eve when a party is going on 20 feet away??

Geek: Its lunar eclipse today. I've never watched one.

Dude: Lunar eclipse? But its new year!!!

Geek: Its also lunar eclipse.

Dude: F*&ing Dork! You are never gonna get laid!

Geek: I am so gonna write about this in my blog...

That thing you Do!

"Look there she is..." my heart lept as i saw her in second row in the auditorium. Why i do keep running into her?

There is a vacant seat beside her! Hell!! Since when boys are leaving seats beside pretty girls vacant?

"Okay, i am going to go and sit there" I told my friend, shaking him off. He silently nodded and found another seat. Thats the best thing with we boys, it doesn't matter how much best buddies you guys are, when it comes to girls, they don't mind leaving you alone.

My heart raced as i sat beside her. Heck, i am within two inches distance to her! Can't believe it!!
I can actually hear her breath. I surreptitiously glanced at her. God, i wish i can describe how beautiful she was!! I really do!!

"This is your chance,kid" i told to myself. "Talk to her. Say something funny.Make her laugh"

I raked my brains for about 10 minutes but all the stories i've read, all the jokes i've heard, they betrayed me. I sat there beside her, sweating like a pig!

Damn! she looks so pretty in formals!

Soon i was in damage control mode. May be not necessarily witty or funny, atleast say something! Say HI!

Ask her what her name is!

Ask her what time is it!

Ask her for a pen!

Damn it! say something for heaven's sake!!!!

In my mind, i am vigorously kicking myself and pulling my hair out!

Here i am, sitting beside the girl who keeps me awake in nights ( actually it may be the heat and mosquitioes of ghaziabad,but its more romantic to think this way!) and i can't even say Hi!

Suddenly, i felt a surge of inspiration. I am going to do it!
I turned towards her and opened my mouth. But before any words escaped my mouth, a huge macho guy came and said "Hey S. Lets go to Nescafe and have some coffee!"

"Sure" she said and left the hall. And left me.

I sat there in silence for some time. Then i opened my notebook and started working on the story i am writing.


I hate being a Nerd!

EMPATHY

This comic makes me sad..... and i don't know why!

May be because i see a bit of my self(honestly, a lot of myself!) in it!!

@ MOVIES....

An amazing thing happened to me at movies yesterday. 

Just when i was ready to immerse myself in the movie, i felt a familiar scent beside me. It was scent of a woman. Excuse me, a HOT woman , sitting beside me. Gosh! Why do i keep running into them wherever i go?? I go on a train, they are beside me, i get into a bus,they come and sit beside me,I sit in the  beach,they come and trip into my lap.Can't a Hot single Macho guy live in peace in this city????

   But this time,i wasn't feeling that bitter. After all, the hotness quotient of this chick beside me 

is VERY HIGH! Also the fact that her outfit can give Mallika Sherawat a run for her money helped!  

   As you all know, I am a decent guy.I am not the type of guy who will be caught with his hand in contraversial places;especially if those places belongs to hot girls. So i was minding my own business, and much to my chagrin,i felt the  hot girl rubbing her knee against Mine. 

   The fact that she is flirting with me didn't annoy me. I mean, who can blame them, poor things! But why play around? If she finds me irresistably attractive, she could have directly said so, right??

 Hmm,I wanted to tease her a little and feigned like i didn't observe. She was visibly upset.After 

sometime, she made her next move.

 "The film is boring,isn't it??" She whispered.

Now we are talking! (pun,intended.or may be not! whatever)

I turned towards her,said in my natural husky voice"In some parts,yeah".

"there isn't much romance in the film" she said,her eyes are inviting....

"Just as well, i get enough  romance from  my real life" i replied.

"I can tell that from your looks" She is deep into the game.

"You aren't doing too bad either" i smiled one of my enchanting smiles. I can almost see her melting.

"You would say a lot more than that if you  see me properly" We were practically whispering in each other's ears. We didn't want to disturb the other 5 or 6 people in the hall.

"I would be willing to take that challenge"

"Lets get out of here" she was suddenly anxious, by anticipation i guess.

"Sure, honey.Let me get my bike, does fisherman's cove work for you??" I was at my charming best.

"Name doesnt matter. Just a place,thats all" boy,she IS  in a hurry!

We left the hall, I started my byk and ......................

HA! WHO AM I KIDDING???

Yes, i went to the movies. Here is the actual scene:

 

To the left of me was an octogenarian who kept coughing throughout the movie and rendered half of the dialouges inaudible.

To the right of me were two tamil guys, who didn't understand the telugu movie anyway, So kept chatting with eachother.It goes without saying that they didn't exactly spoke in low decibel levels.

In the front row was a family with a four year old kid, who kept asking his parents every five minutes,

"what's happening"

"what's the boy saying?"

"what's the boy doing to the girl?"

In the back row,there were some idiots who kept whistling even at the sight of a saree,  skirt   and everything faminine. I am half expecting that they were touching themselves in the romantic scenes.
