A Lot New...

The birds were too quiet that morning and I cursed them again! I’d overslept.
It’s really not hard to answer why I am so lazy; some would say that I am too excited all the time when I am awake. As a result...yes I am lazy!

It was a chilly morning and I came out of the shower and I layered myself carefully with t-shirts...a black one, a white one...and a black one. It’s preferable that way...and yes I was looking awesome(AS ALWAYS!)Momma packed my lunch as I gorged on the breakfast, and in no time saw myself out of the house...I was off for college.

Neepa had made it clear, "Chayan if you don’t come tomorrow I will be very angry, Monty will not teach you, if you cant go to his place with me tomorrow". And I had grinned and nodded. She must have sweared at me for that impish face that I presented her with!

Ok so there I was, on my way to safeguard the vow. It was a long queue to the ticket punching machines. Office-goers, school children and many cranky looking and confused-innocent faces stared at me (god knows why?), as I scampered my way to the half working and half dead ticket punchers.

Shit! I missed the train by seconds and there I stood kicking and bitching as I grabbed some air in my bags after the quick sprint down and up the stairways to no effect! I was angry...mostly at the silly birds who didn’t shout enough that morning to unglue my sleepy eyes.

It’s a very long and boring walk to St. Xavier’s college from the Maidan metro station, and ironically it’s the shortest distance form the other metro stations or bus stops around. And I measured that the never-ending walk was covered in a record time of 7minutes and 09 secs.Though I wouldn’t call it a walk for I ran and I jogged and was even stopped at signals...but never walked!

I was too excited that day...and all my folks could see that on my face. But I refused to believe them. I thought I was behaving perfectly normal and neepa must have told them about my excitement for the new guitar classes.

People fantasize about different things everyday and in a way they are amazingly different from the fantasies they have had the previous day; and for me, today it was the mere thought that I would play the electric guitar for the first time...Aishik and I had other things to discuss when some Winny gal came in through the backdoor of the Socio class...I am tremendously crushed on her for a long time and I know she is all aware of the fact but, BUT let me now fucking leave that out for now and write abut other curvy bodies! What else guitars!

Well it was 2.45PM when our debate on 'which is the funniest part in a women’s body' ended when the bell rang and Neepa showed up. Robin and Anushree were cozying up in a corner when we decided that we should leave them alone to a much polluted and crazy world of cars and buses!

Aishik, neepa and I cabbed it till Monty's. And in the ride I was asked by a certain someone to keep myself limited to thoughts only, and not give them audible effects! And I was sadly finishing my lunch.

The cab took another right turn somewhere in Kidhirpore and we were there in the unknown. Rather Aishik and I were there in the unknown, while Neepa and the cabbie had been acquaintances. It was a smooth and easy journey and the cabbie even sang some Sindhi songs to our amusement! Anyway off we were from our yellow ride and I scampered along struggling to put the lid back on the lunch carrier!

There the dream was realized...ATLAST!
