Tring! Tring!! Unknown number flashing on my HTC. A ritual wish by me,"Good evening! Stargazer here!" A sweet voice and then the realization. Heart sank and leaped at the same time, not able to decide whether to be happy or sad. The legs were shaking, voice stammered and brain numb. The emotions, feelings and memories flooded me, taking me back to my college, to Delhi, to CCD, to Kamla nagar, to Hudson Lane.
The voice spoke again,"How are you?". The question cut straight through my thoughts. The CCD and Hudson Lane blurred and gave way to my boring laptop screen. Of all the things I wanted to tell her, "Good!"came out rather meekly. "Tell me!" reached my lips even before I can give a thought to it. Tell me? Tell me!, what was I thinking? What kind of a person I would sound? Idiot! Moron! "I didn't call with a business proposition!" came the reply from other side. Some people will never change. They are never meant to be changed.
What, do change is the situation, consequently changing the equation. The emotion and love never dies. A part of heart carrying it becomes numb, waiting patiently to flood you on the slightest of opportunity. Making you realize, you are not that tough. A bit of me still clings to the professional running after name and fame.
It felt good and I felt human. Took a long time to come.
