It took few sweet moments for me
to get back to my reality and by the time I started my bike and rode ahead, few
people waiting behind me had started honking either to prove their horns being
the loudest and scariest or as though they had to rush to something very severe
without whom that something would start the end of our beloved earth! Irritated
by their honking and their stares I rode as fast as I could and suddenly when I
turned towards left, again I was lost in another world. It just happened that I
again got my eyes on the same Volvo which was just few meters away from me and
thus triggered all new and all optimistically sweet hopes into my heart. I
tried the best of my rash driving skills and pushed my bike among all kind of
blurred vehicles and rushed to the left side of the Volvo. But, unluckily, as I
was about to reach the back door of the Volvo a dumb driver driving his new car
stopped his car; the reason being unknown till this date and I had to stop
behind him just to keep my eyes wide open and watch the Volvo move away from me
into an unreachable distance. As the car moved after few seconds and I overtook
it, I saw the Volvo had even crossed the stop in front of my office abducting
my dream away from me and I, an obedient software employee right from the first
day of my career, entered the ever welcoming gates of my office.
As I finished reading all the
mails and prioritized the tasks for the day, I automatically found ‘Cup of
Strong Coffee’ topping the list. Always believing in my Priority List I got up
from my seat and headed towards the coffee shop, the only place that I like in
the whole of my company’s huge campus. Surprisingly I found the Coffee shop
empty and tried to remember if there was any function in the campus with free
food being served. Else how can it be possible that the Coffee shop and its
surrounding lawn empty without even a single employee hanging around. Who damn
cares? I just bought my coffee and smiling at the shop owner returned back to
my seat all the way careful enough to withhold my tempt to sip that coffee.
Without even placing my ass on the chair, I sipped the coffee, relished it for
a second closing my eyes. Then I sat back on my chair and unlocked my laptop.
The routine started with my daily
tasks, specially assigned tasks and few lazy dumb developers who kept bugging
me for their work disturbing my priority list. It had been 2 hours since I had
been sitting on that bloody uncomfortable chair without even moving my
position. I realized this when suddenly something deep inside my body alarmed
me of the depreciating caffeine level in my body. Without thinking anything I
just locked my laptop and got up from the bloody uncomfortable chair. I heard a
few thanking words from my ass for giving it a break. My ten minutes break
completed when I was back at seat with much needed strong coffee. It took me
such a long time just because of the frustrated employees queued up at the
coffee shop. I literally had to push myself, fight, pull, and move forward to
get in front or else it would have taken almost an hour to get back to my seat.
It was 7:30 PM when I was done
with my tasks, in fact I tried hard and finally consoled my mind that I was
done with all my tasks for the day, and packed my bag. All of my fellow team
mates had already left for the day. I slowly walked to my bike and kick started
it listening to a famous song on my iPod and rode towards my room. I was so
lost in the song that I had reduced the speed of my bike a lot lesser than my
average speed. Though the roads remain quite empty with a very few number of
vehicles at the time when only the selected few hard working dedicated Software
engineers like me return home, its bit riskier to be lost in thoughts while
riding a two-wheeler but yes, I had risked my life and the life of my best
friend, TVS Victor, to listen to Kishore's breathtaking number from Jewel Thief
- Yeh dil na hota bechara!!
Suddenly as I stared at the two
bright red lights in front of me, I came back to the living Bangalore Road. The
Honda Civic in front of me had suddenly applied its brakes and had slowed down.
Its tail lights were strong enough to bring me back from my lost world. I
looked around to know where I was and took few milliseconds to refresh my mind
and get back to control my bike in the toughest situations. My body worked
robotically to bring down the speed of my bike by applying the brakes with the
correct timing. With all the robotic movement of the countable parts of my body
as well as my bike, we both smoothly crossed the road hump in front of the
Cosmos mall. To tell you guys, I am still confused if the mall is bigger in
size or the bloody engineered road hump. I even guess it was on this hump that
Jack and Jill had been to fetch water and Jack had rolled down!
With that uphill and downhill
journey over the hump, the speed of my bike had almost reached null. As I was
about to rotate the accelerator and speed up my bike, accidently I turned to my
left and there occurred the real accident. Most of the times in your life
unexpected things happen unexpectedly and expected things never happen as
expected. This is what the real meaning of life is. Now wait. What crap am I
speaking? I can’t help readers; it’s just the effect of that accident. Though
there was no blood spill but yes it hit the blood factory - Mr. Heart. Yes,
your guess is right, as I turned to my left, I again saw the same girl I had
seen in Volvo in morning. The perfect sweetness bundled in the most preferred
simpleness. The elegant Purple colored Churidar stood apart highlighted
among the other dull colors of my life. Those jet black hair just like the
waterfalls of hope, with just few hairs that had escaped the tie from her hair
band and managed to kiss the plain fair forehead of her ever fresh bright face.
The wind was playing its game on those few naughty hair blowing them once to
cover her left eye for a moment and again back to their place.
Her gorgeous bright fresh face
and her small cute nose with those two small black eyes twinkling with energy
enough to challenge the Moon's shine and small pink lips lovelier than any
loveliest thing in the world made up the most beautiful face in the world
enough to crush my heart into pieces resulting in the deadliest accident I
could both witness as well be a part of!
