Well it was the season of festivals…not any religious festivals but of college festivals…the time of the year where a bunch of super cool wannabes come together to organize a “cultural” festival to revive our dying hope of clearing the semester without any KTs. Our hopes or rather our spirits did get revived with these set of activities…but it came at a price…..no studies for a couple of weeks at least….well we preferred this opinion :)….This was the best way to cut classes and enjoy college life as we haven’t enjoyed in the past 3 years…after all engg always brought some kind of surprise in each of the past few years which prevented us from enjoying these events…but the final year wasn’t going to slip out of my hand so easily!
Anyways, we went to the auditorium to have a look at how the dance rehearsal was going on..I hated dancing…absolutely hate it..but that didn’t deter me from going there and make fun of my friend who was living out his ambition of been the twinkle toe of our group….however, once we reached the audi…our expression changed..the new girl whom everyone was talking about was there on the stage!! She looked like a goddess..beautiful black brown hair….black eyes….a smile to rival the best in show business….the mannerisms to woo any soul walking the god’s green earth…she was eternally beautiful …as usual all of us flocked to the stage to get a closer glimpse of this new age marvel…swear to god she looked divine….angel on earth…but as is the case with good looking girls, this girl also came with a tag….rather a DO NOT DISTURB (read “I am reserved”) sign invisible to teachers and non flirtu people but visible from a long distance to romeos like us….Since she was new, no one knew her…all that was known is that her name was Snehal and she was an NRI migrated from US to India and into our college becoz her dad lost loads of money in business…
Anyways, everyday she used to come to the audi…rehearse with few of her friends (all girl group) and go out…Everyday we used to regret…regret the fact that we should not have made fun of that girl group or we would have gain automatic entry and in turn intro with that girl!! Needless to say that the powerpuff group (girl group) would have told this beauty a thing or two about us….So my goal for the next few days was set…to find a common friend, bribe him/her into coughing up some info and then be bold enough to get urself introduced to her! All I need were 3 pieces of info….her favourite color, her favourite drink and her favourite pass time
After loads of eavesdropping, line cutting, practical missing, we finally got a lead…one of the
power puff girls had a weakness for Aamir Khan’s photos and my friend happened to have an autographed pic of his (my signature on Aamir’s photo)…So the trap was set, in the class room where no one lurches the photo of Aamir laid and approached our star informer…With admiration and a sense of achievement in her eyes and tears (yes she cried LOL) in her eyes, she took the photo, touched my handwriting (the signature) and opened pandora’s box..We got what we wanted to know….Mission accomplished!!
So the next day, I was ready…ready to impress the beauty and get an intro based on these 3 little things….With a RED colour tshirt which sported a nice little slogan (just the way she likes it), I entered our café cum canteen...looked around and found her…She was sitting next to
window trying to catch up on studies….Taking 2 bottles of Mazza I walked up to her,
“Can I sit here”….She looked up and with a weird look she said “hmmm yea….”
I sat down and with a great deal of authority interrupted her studies with…” So you fond of Agatha Christie novels??”
SMACK!!!!!!!!!! The entire canteen stood up….”I knew you would be coming….One of my friends told me that a guy dressed in Red, carrying bottle of Mazza would try and flirt with me over a couple of Agatha Christie novels…I know you guys very well….All you can think about is girls, girls girls…..”
Saying this she walked off….The entire canteen burst out into laughter…my friends came running to me…I was shocked…The little powerpuff girl had double crossed us….But a smile came on my face….The most sort after girl had just slapped my block off……
