July 15 , 2015 ...
First day of college , unlike others I wasn't so anxious and excited about the first day of my college . There was something very special in me , I knew exactly when something is going to go wrong with me and I was 101% sure that my first day of college was going to be a disaster .
I left for college early in morning at 8:00 am although the college was scheduled to begin at 11 . I thought , I should do some sight seeing in the college campus which prominently included "checking out girls". Being single since childhood I had become a complete freak , but I was not one with a playboy mentality . I had a lot of faith in love and love stories . I was in search of someone just like me , someone who wouldn't fit in my life but combine her life with mine , someone who would pool in for paying dinner date bills , someone who loves spicy stuff more than chocolates , someone to walk hand in hand not only in the corridor of the college but also in the corridor of life.
I was off for college on my Honda Shine, probably the most well know bike (for middle class people obviously) . I rode through galis and chols of Surat. People had already started with their daily chorus . The tea vendors serving tea , the old ladies out side the temples selling fresh flowers , some shopkeepers opening their shops some praying and lighting incease sticks , people having khaman and pathra on the roadside shops . All this was very noticeable today and all these things signaled to a fresh start , a new beginning.
I entered a huge gate which had "Mahindra educational institute" written on top.
The first place I went to was the college canteen . The most popular and most visited place in the whole campus . I brought myself a cup of coffee and sat on a table in corner .
' May I sit here? ' a voice above my shoulder said .
I turned and saw a girl . she had something attractive in her eyes and I went drowning in them .
' hey? ' she said and snapped in front of my face .
' Oh..yeah ..sure , why not ...please sit ' I fumbled .
She sat in front of me . she had worn a blue top . Her lips perfectly parted with a with smile . Her eyes were deep black like a well. Her hair was long and blackish brown , it was straight on top and tangled at the tips .she had long eyelashes which added to her beauty .
She was simply perfect.
' first year ? ' she asked breaking the silence.
' yeah , B.A. first year' I replied.
' hey me too ... I m also a B.A. first year student ' she said excitedly .
' cool ' I said .
' By the way I am Yasmin , Yasmin Mirza ' she said .
' I'm Arjun Chowdary . Nice to meet you .
I said
' nice to meet you too'
We looked at each other for a second and the laughed .
' I seriously hate formalities, I know that was awkward ' I said after laughing .
' me too ' she said still laughing .
' By the way the coffee is a bit bitter in taste but you seem to be very sweet.'
I said .
'Are you trying to flirt with me ? And if you are don't try to ' she said and blushed.
' why can't I flirt with you , are you taken ? ' I asked.
' Yes I m taken ..... By my self ' she said hiding her blush and getting up to go.
' Bye. ' I said . ' Bye' she said , smiled and walked away .
I wasn't worried about how to meet her again because I could meet her in class at 11:00. I was wrong this time , I thought the day was not a good one ...But it turned out to be a perfect start.
