THE GIRL WHO SHARED HER UMBRELLA

-



Some incidents are so cute and amazing, that the memory of them matters more than the outcome. 
(Based on a true incident, dedicated to my friend Ramagopal)


It was a matter of a few days ago when I went on a trip
To the blissful lands of God's own country, and was greeted by a leech.
Well after all the drama, I sat on the bus,
The one provided by our college;
But life was planning to give me a surprise 
Of which, I had no knowledge.
My eyes unknowingly slid to my left, where I saw that girl
The cutest creation of the Almighty, too good to convey in words.
She had such lovely earrings, and so golden was her smile.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and my mind travelled a mile.
Although I don't have the flair for breaking the ice, I tried to communicate
And with the feeblest chances, I tried to open the gate.
The girl turned to me and her eyes in my eyes
I don't know how to express
But all I could do was ask her name
And she replied in such grace.
She however was a frolicking soul and started to have a chat.
I was gradually feeling some good and I tried my best to match.
We exchanged phone numbers and some basic information
Some feelings were not so deep.
And found her quite friendly to me
That pinched me from my sleep.
Yes lucks do change, I believe and now I know
Because she was an angel to me then
Someone sent to grab my loneliness 
And make me a part of this game.
We talked and talked unless we reach the destination
At Munnar, we had night's halt.
The next day as per plan, we had some sightseeing.
But this time, I carried some salt.
The rooms in the hotel were not so good,
But the food was something I liked.
The next day's sunlight instilled new hopes in me
As to the summit of expectations, I have hiked.
We reached the spot together and were strolling and enjoying
Clicking photos of nature, her and me.
Suddenly the clouds thought to bring us a bit closer
And poured on in their full spree.
My classmate went with her boyfriend, and others with their own pals
Only I was left out in the rain
I forgot to carry my umbrella there and was drenched in vain
Suddenly as a Godsent, she came to me 
And offered to share her umbrella
And I was blown with the blessing of my luck
I didn't waste a second in dilemma.
The togetherness, though not for long, 
Was all for I asked so far.
Her hand in my hand and shoulders rubbing
I found the divine elixir.
Eventually, the rain stopped and the closeness was stopped
But the closeness of heart must have grown.
Because as far as I know, girls won't share an umbrella
With guys to whom they are unknown.
All my friends were so excited, that they made me blush
But whatever they say doesn't matter, I had such a great plus
I would try further to know her and love her
And take this friendship so long
That we understand so well each other 
That we don't separate if we go wrong.
Now a week has passed, and we are all busy with tests
I think she too must be doing her best.
Even if she ignores or wishes me no more
I honestly have no regrets.
But if she accepts, I would dance out in joy
And throw a party for all my dear fellas.
And remember her throughout my life
As the girl, who shared her umbrella.

THE CYBER FRIEND

  THE CYBER FRIEND Lucifer     Life is an amazing journey. No one knows where they are going to land. Some earn unbound fame and some become latent depending on time, situation, and state of mind. But the fact is, no one can predict or know in advance how it is all going to be. Some say that is the fun about life. While some feel a bit more comfortable knowing stuff beforehand. And sometimes life itself plays it mesmerisingly        It all begins with the lockdown of 2020. The world was served miseries by China's first authentic product, the Novel Corona Virus. This had a great impact on the entire globe, snatching jobs, causing discomfort, unbound number of infection cases, and deaths. Those who survived were living in trauma. Relative, friends, and loved ones were lost, governments became bankrupt. On one such remorseful evening, Ranveer went up the terrace and stood quietly. Suddenly a call comes and he rushes down to attend to it. He sits by his l...

FROM THE OTHER END : PART 1

      Adi went to bed very late that night. Luckily, the next day was Sunday. So he could peacefully sleep for a long time. But wait. You guys don't know what he had actually done. Neither did Adi himself know. Well, before jumping into his weirdest works, let me give you a brief heads up about this talented guy and his works of talent. Well, I am not making any sarcastic remarks here. Adi indeed was talented. After all, he was a student at the prestigious Cambridge University. A brilliant student with an exceptional brain in Quantum Computing. Legends claim that he was previously a hacker who used to hack around for noble causes. Like the deletion of thousands of vulgar content from the dark web, targeting and bankrupting paedophiles and transferring that money to welfare organizations and NGOs, being completely hidden. Although there has been no strong evidence to prove that but his daily lifestyle proves the claim. Adi is a typical nerd. He gets up late, rushes to his ...

Mission: HAYABUSA

  MISSION HAYABUSA --- Lucifer     Once someone rightly said, "If you want something from the very bottom of your heart, you will definitely get it someday. Maybe later, but for sure." Love too follows the rule. Separations can come, and hearts might get broken due to certain scenarios. But if you stick to your faith in love, you will find it one day.       As Perman was leaving for the Bird planet, Pako was waving goodbye, along with her colleagues, Payan and Booby. But little did she know that the departures would be so painful. That night, when Pako sat on her bed, removed her Perman set, and turned into herself, into Sumire Hoshino, she began to feel a queer pain down her heart. She felt as if something was missing. She took her Perman badge and was about to make Perman a call. But then she remembered what Birdman had said. "You cannot use it for personal purposes. You will need to use it only when you are in an emergency and need backup." So she refrai...
