The girls who loved me... and the girls whom i loved...Part 1
Alter Ego(AE): Its been quite a while, since we had a chance to rewind and look at things that has either left an impression in our life or on somebody else's life. Since, right now this idea comes to my mind, dont u think we would rather get it out of it...
Me: Ummm... not sure, controversies would be created. Lets keep it restrained. Dont worry, I would be able to cover most of it, atleast whatever I remember,
AE: Then put a disclaimer, ladies or girls who does not get featured here, are not left out as u r not sure about their association and the level or lack of it with u in the past...
Me: Cool, chalo where do we start... and please no probing questions...coz I would not answer then.
AE: Ok, I cant guarantee, but I will atleast try... now plssss start... Its already late
Me: Ok...I never spoke to girls... never till I was in class IX. I was this absolutely goody 2 shoes who would come to school with a water bottle, a heavy bag and oiled hair... me? Ya! That was me...
AE: (rolling eyes) under the breadth - Ya ya, tell me about it
Me: (oblivious to his reactions) And my priority was play, play and play... games which make you sweat and feel like a man....
AE: Huh???
Me: pahleezzz... no pun intended
AE: Chillax pardner... aage bako
Me: Ok, now dont disturb... I was in Class V and my dad just got transfered to Bhubaneswar. I got into Kendriya Vidyalaya
AE: Can you stop makin preamble of every damn thing, get to the point...
Me: Shut up... U want it from me or not...
AE: Ok(sigh) Bhouk le beta, bhouk le
Me: (Again ignorin him) Ya, so till VII I didnt have any girl whom I would look at even... then came S in my life, taller than me (i was 5"3' that time) she would have been two inches more than me... An oriya, but a rare breed as she was beautiful, even at that age, smart and obviosly became the target for many guys in the school.
And here i was, to quote from Billy Joel, Just an innocent man... short, dark, lean, no gift of the gab, and shy, extremely shy... But for me I had seen her getting elected as Jr. House Prefect of a rival house, me never had any leadership traits. But I was good at sports, debates, recitation and all those crap.
AE: Stop self praising, will you....
Me: One summer in class VIII we had this sports day and I was playin virtually everything except kabaddi coz I had this fear that guys would hold my scrotch and drag me down in front of the girls.
AE: silent giggle
Me: Ya, sports day and I was the reason for Making S's house lose out in the competititions, so much in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar Style and that time it was an icon movie, it still is.
And I was not happy, as I could see that hatred and grief on S' doe eyes(she was doe eyed) towards me. But that one instance gave me enough confidence to approach her. Next day, I went to her in the break, stammered and said... "Can I have my phone number?"
AE: MY, u said MY (burst out laughin)
Me:(sigh) Ya, kya karu...I didnt know, first she is taller,u have to look up and i was trembling. But she was sweet, she said u can take my number, and butterflies alredy in my stomach...neways we exchanged numbers and we used to speak everyday... till....
AE: Till, this was the time wen u got into fite, rite?
Me: Ya, there was this don of this school, Class XI who had an eye on S. And he found out that we were kinda semi couple, talking over phone etc etc. And that time loads of girls went against me... coz S was not very popular as she was a little snob on her own way...
AE: Abey, fite ki baat bol naa...
Me: Fite... this dude threatened me that he would cut my balls off if i ever spoke to S in or outside school... I was afraid frankly, I was... this big mushtanda threatening me... I consulted S and my friends and S said...
AE: What...
Me: S said... go and crush his balls, how dare he dictate what should we do.. u r such a coward platypus, that you come and ask me. I got so much of a boost, Helium, Hydrogen sab andar a gaya... Me with friends just went ahead, with hockey sticks and bit the hell out of that guy. Its a dfrnt issue that I got plumped up like a soft pudding after 7 days, but it was worth to be a 7 days hero in front of the girl whom u dream of in every class. Particularly after lunch recess.
Anyways I got transferred soon after that and we lost touch, she gave me 10 cards, all mushy and for some time I was proud of them, very proud. But as it happens, I wish I know where S is...
AE: Stop being sentimantal, move ahead
Me: Ok, Class IX, Duliajan, Assam, the place which made me for what I am today. I got ragged by gals, safe decent but humilaiting of course. But then those girls became best friends.
AE: Dont change topic, what kinda ragging? (with a wink)
Me: Stuff like, virtual pee, propose to a senior who turns out to be a junior teacher, kiddy stuff, even some extreme like choose a girl to be ur gf. Which would turn out to be very very risky. Anyways, that day I met G also... and I loved her, she was not good lookin but she was sweet, sensible and smart... a little serious than others, and I fell in love with her.
AE: Hmmmm... and what about D?
Me: D... D did had a crush on me for some 2 months, but then it evaporated as she left our school, surprising, but D was this hardcore feminist and when I came to know about it some 10 years later, recently, I was shocked and sad... coz D has gone to become this wonderful lady now. For that matter G also...
AE: U never told G...
Me: Never till a year back, we were friends, not much of an interaction, but just friends. But after school, we became best friends... and I still cherish it. Even G told me, pahle kyon nahi bataya, I always liked you..
AE: You were a duffe....
Me: Ya in a way... as I would think of career, debates, sports, quizzes etc before thinking should I tell G... though I wanted to BADLY... so much so, I got into a tuition where she was... I laugh at my kiddish activities when I think of them.
AE: But those were good ol' days.... u never get them back
Me: ya, school romance is special and when I think of it, I am lucky to have my first crush(G was my first crush) as on eof my best friends at a time when u realise what friends are...
AE: Lets stop at your school tonite... coz I know the college list is long and you would rather write me a letter on this... as I would be busy, cant talk to you.
Me: Chill lets make it Part 1....
Me: Ummm... not sure, controversies would be created. Lets keep it restrained. Dont worry, I would be able to cover most of it, atleast whatever I remember,
