Crushed
For years now, poets have waxed eloquent about the magic of falling in love - the first time your eyes meet, the skipped heartbeat and all that jazz.
What hogwash! When I am in a relationship, I can buy all that melodrama, but singleness tends to wear on you.
However, jaded as I am, there is one phase which is absolutely magical and I will always look forward to - the magic of "falling in crush". Sigh!
My first crush, like most first crushes was special. I was this geeky 12 year old who had just had a back fracture. The doctor insisted on 2 months of bedrest and 6 months with a back brace. Indian 12 year old boys don't really believe that there is life beyond cricket. And as an Indian 12 year old boy, my world had come to an end.
It was then that I really got to know her. Games of scrabble, intellectual discussions on comics, copying homework, (confession alert) playing girly games in the local playground and before I knew it, my best friend was, as unbelievable as it seemed, A GIRL!!
However, even backs heal and 13 year old Indian boys have to play cricket. We were still good friends but it almost seemed like a phase had passed.
And then she left town, just like that.
And I missed her.
Life goes on. 3 years hence, I was a dysfunctional teenager who knew next to nothing about girls.
And then, just like that, she was back.
Needless to say, I did nothing about it - dysfunctional teenager remember. 2 whole years of nothing. And out of the blue, it happened. A month before our 12th standard board examinations. It was a normal conversation. We were talking about hindi movies - being cool and 17 and dissing them. And then she said, "I saw John Abraham at the airport last week and he was my 5th crush in life." Before I knew it, I had popped the question - "So, who was your first crush?"
"You".
Sigh!

Hey Kram... should a lot of disappointed ppl be consoled that CapOne gave us a kick? A lot of us did have stars in our eyes when we were short listed...
Not really.
The work is pretty awesome actually. Most of the time at least :)
I just like playing along with my Ph.D batchies who keep dissing me for selling out from the geekdom and entering the corporate world of ppt and excel. :)
