Eye locks for Matt on a soggy training day with Teddy -- Part II




Note : This is the 2nd part of the Matt Tedd love story. Supposed to be the 1st one, but some change of plans ji.....

Last few days were quite hectic for Matt as he had just joined the new company and it was a training week for him with lots of new tools and technologies to have hands-on on.

That day he was supposed to go to Armonk for the training of DB2 and it was a day long program and later part after the training he was supposed to work in the shift to learn the new project with the senior team member in the project which had 15 members in Armonk and 15 in the off shored country.

The training was as usual a sedate and a boring affair for him. He was quite used to surf and work and chat during his peak working hours and he could manage this with quite efficiency. The DB2 database was new for him and any way he wasn’t a very prominent “resource” in DB side. So he basically ignored the training and for him the whoring sound of the trainer appealed less than the thick booklet as training material from the company that would be his after the end of training session.

However he was quite relieved when the session ended and quickly he collected his belongings to catch the bus back to his apartment. No sooner he was in the bus on his favorite window seat he took out the ipod to plug the ear pads in the ears.
And then the world stopped for him. No sooner the bus started, he saw a pretty slim, thin, a girl with a bag at the back and a handbag in the hand along with long untied hair constantly flowing on her forehead, struggling to make up with them, dressed in a formal attire in white stripped shirt followed by a traditional black trouser and long heels, she occupied the 2nd seat from door – another window seat.

Matt had his eyes opened up and eyes wide shut the next moment. He could nt even breathe when he saw the girl. The world changed for him instantly and quickly he forgot that he had to work the following few hours and they would really knock him off the bed, but it didn’t mattered to the 6 ft long guy with short hair, dressed up in blue shirt and a black chainmen trouser .

Matt was fascinated with the girl. He found her small gestures fascinating and attractive — the flick of hand to pull back wayward hair when it covered the right ear through not her left for some reason, the restless drumming of fingers that were used to hold the bag and the handbag, the flash of a smile when she was talking to some one on the cell, which suddenly went back, when her eyes locked with Matt.

Matt kept looking at her with constant amusement. He wondered how could GOD still make some really beautiful girls with superb features and attractive looks. He thought he might be on a drive of high end lust or a new born infatuation which might die its natural end, but it was not to be. Even after few minutes of first gaze, his heart pumped fast, his adrenalin levels were still high, the sweat trickled down his cheeks and he forgot all entropy of the world around him. All he could see was the wonderful creation of perhaps the last time made by the GOD in so many years gone by.

He kept wondering how he could miss the existence of a girl in his life. If he felt there was ever a moment to have a relationship, then it was now. If there ever was a girl with whom he could even spend his half of life with without really caring about what would follow next, then it was this girl. It was those unseen and unthought-of moments which took the breath away from Matt and he really wished if he could spend the next 10 days exclusively with the girl on a Hawaiian holiday.

The fantasies of coming days ahead with this girl, were started to get formed in his mind, which was tired but had got a new lease of life the moment he saw the sweetie come to the bus which otherwise was full of boring professionals who soon sank into deep snoring while in the bus. He quickly started thinking of adjustments he might need to make to be with the girl or the arrangements he might need to change in his bachelor paradise should he decide to take the girl home.

Matt landed on a different plane in just few moments when he thought he might have got the long time relationship he was waiting to get into and the one which he always thought he was deserving of. He had always loved to be in relationships, but somehow they didn’t materialize with some or the other reasons. Matt had learnt hard from those failed relationships and rightly so he was committed not to repeat those mistakes and be known as a relationship fool nerd. He could sense that a sea change in his life, his beliefs, and his thoughts was right up in the corner.

Quickly Matt returned to the reality zone and the biggest thing that he could think of right now was how to get the hold of the girl n get her talking to. Matt was a pretty confident guy who could kick start a conversation on any topic in the world. But after a moment he thought, going forward and asking her name and kicking off the conversation won’t be a very good idea. So he had to think of some alternate measures and ways to get the communication started.

Matt thought he just needed one positive signal from the girl that she was really interested in him and then with his confidence and different whacky and nasty ideas he could really convert the normal hi-hellos to a long loving blossoming relationship.

Ideas never deserted his nasty and sharp mind. Matt decided to take things slowly and slowly and the very moment he could think of was to know the name of the lady and the rest of hierarchal information would follow, thanks to company intranet and the BLUE PAGES.

Matt decided to know the name of the girl somehow, who by now had tied the hair with a hair pin, and the bag had given way to the pink hankie which she used to wipe off the August drops of rain which occasionally treaded in the bus from he window and enhanced the beauty of the girl. She had kept the window open to allow some rain drops to touch her skin and then wipe off with her favorite pink hankie. She had lots of them, but one at a time in a hand.

The office was nearing and Matt had less time now to act and know her name. Asking her neighbor would have been wrong and embarrassing on his part and then he remembered a simple yet daring way to know the name of the passenger descended from the land of beauty.

Every employee in the bus had entered the name in a register using the swipe card and that name was visible to the other fellow employees too, for luck prevailed with Matt, the girl had signed and he was yet to. And the moment he got the register he calculated the seat and the number of names which her name might be before his place to put the name in. And when he finally could match the name with the actual name of the girl, he froze. He got 2 names which confused him. The names were Teddy Kohl and A.T. Allaigra seemed a boring name and he though such a wonderful kid won’t be named with such a boring name. She must be a Teddy and she must be having something very unusual name – unusual name for unusual beauty.

And yes she was Teddy Kohl, a fellow mate working in Siebel division with the IGA (his own account). Matt was able to find the name of the diva who had swept the land beneath his feet in a flash and the one who became the perfect soul mate for Matt, though in fantasy right on for her until he could initiate the conversation with Teddy the next day on “Sametime” his company s intranet messenger.

Yes the night was going to be a bit longer one when he would sing to the moon and dance with his fantasy – Teddy. Matt was ready, he was ready. Matt and Teddy – the 2 names together thrilled him of a passionate, fairytale, intense relationship and a divine blessed romance something which happens to few people on the earth. His 1st part of the adventure was done and the next stage was to add her on the intranet and kick off an informal conversation and then set up a quick date in the coming weekend.

Yes he was ready to be soul mate of an extremely beautiful girl – Teddy, who would soon become Tedds, Teddu, and M for Matt – the maverick!!!

Matt was not on earth that day, he was on a fantasy ride to some wonderful journey called LOVE……he was in love with Teddy. Whether she was? Find it out more in the days to come……After all the love lets you go high and high defying the resistance and the reasoning and transcends the illusion of a special someone feeling.

Till next time : Hum hai raahi pyar ke, fir milenge chalte chalte !!!

Heart Sings to the Moon, a Teddy and Matt story -- I


Note : Paaiyo hor paaiyo di beheno, assi is blog nu wich likhne de waste hun kuch nai haa'n...Pichle do din vahut hectic hor majakiya hondesi..Te me sochya ki eh blog vich cribbin hor negative expressions nai daalniya......Eh waaste, kuch samay pahle likkhi gayi kuch kahaniyaaa twadde saamne pesh kartaasi.......Maine nee pata ki is kahani da agla sequel kado aayega........O ji tab tak Matt hor Teddy di love story njoi kittaji......


Life for Matt was never been the same again after he met the girl who took his breath away. He was floored by the innocense and beauty of Teddy whom he had met just a week back but it seemed that they had met years back or perhaps ages back. On the other hand Teddy was glad that she had got a mate in Matt who was very protective about her being non-possesive, giving her own space and not intruding it in the boundaries. Besides Matt blew her away with his sense of humor, it was hardly a dull moment when both were together, and when they would go on a long drive on Matt s antique bike the world would stop for both.

They hardly bothered to care about the world and ppl outside their newly formed tender lovely relationship….. They both complimented each other well. Though Matt was 3 years older to teddy and came from a typical middle class family of NYC. He was from the other side of the Hudson Bay i.e the Jersey City. And Teddy was from the outskirts of the NY from Armonk – the headquarters of IBM. The upbringing of Matt and Teddy was totally contrasting to each other. Matt had a great family always gelling well with each other much to contrast to the typical US families…

Teddy had working parents , but she never felt that her parents were working when she needed them in her tough times. Matt and Teddy were seeing each other since 1 month now and being working in the same profession got them closer and they had chance to know each other well beyond their jobs. Matt had a bit relaxed work schedule whereas teddy used to work hard a bit due to her sincere and yearning for perfection in daily tasks. Matt had asked Teddy to be his life mate 5 weeks back and only after project release was done with, Teddy could think and sleep over Matt s proposal and she nodded after 4 weeks of hard thinking and mulling.

The intermediate time was restless and tense, to say the least for Matt but deep inside he knew that he would get a nod from Teddy despite she taking a bit longer time to say yes. And once she said yes the lives changed. Matt had planned the weekends together driving to Philadelphia in his newly acquired FORD car. Matt was fan of Pink Floyd and Bryan Adams. he would be hooked to the great artists on his ipod and would humm the songs whenever he could. Teddy s images were wallpapers on his lappy, his mobile, his workplace desktop and of course his entire internal system. There was hardly a moment when he could not think about Teddy or there never was a short moment when he couldnt have imagined what she might be thinking about him. Matt had his appearence changed, it was all about how to look good to floor Teddy.

Though he wasnt a typically well built hunk, but he was on above average looks and had good body. He kept his hair short and liked to dress in jeans and t-shirts / shirts and snickers. His work place allowed him to wear casuals 4 days a week and the day he had to put on formals, used to be tough for him. He was petty uncomfortable in them. Matt was very protective about Teddy and any one gazing her down when together woudnt go well with him.

Though on the up, teddy asked him not to care about it, but deep within she liked the way Matt used to protect her and do all those good things to her — make her cross road with her hand in his hand and the other on her shoulder, cover her in the lift among the strangers, sit to the right in the corner seat of the multiplex……This made Teddy feel comfortable and at par with Matt very early in the relationship. She got in the comfort zone very quickly with Matt. She would always pass on her hands to Matt to hold her when in public or in alone whenever they met.

On his bike Teddy in general used to put her hands on his hips and at times when she felt more amorous to Matt would hold him tight from the back and Matt used to feel right on the moon. Matt had a habit of sucking in beers almost every day which did not go well with Teddy but however she resisted from telling this in a commanding way.

Matt knew that Teddy doesnt like him to see gulp beers, but he was making a hard effort to cut it down and then abolish it totally. Teddy used to say a few words with extra stress and Matt used to catch it hard and repeat them in his own way . On the onset that would irritate Teddy but then she used to feel good about it too. Teddy used to be dressed in jeans and tops with formals at times. Matt urged her to wear skirts at times and even spent time surfing the mall for a good skirt to gift her. Teddy thought she was too slim to wear those and being fashion conscious she took care that anything she wore, she was able to carry well and look well. The cell phone bills had shot up for both Matt and Teddy when they got going together, hardly a day used to go by when they wouldnt have called each other on an hour to check whats up with each other and sms every half an hour or so.

Tough and hectic work schedules for Teddy meant that she couldnt reply or talk to Matt for long or chat with him on web. She made up for the lost time in the night talks when they used to talk long on cell if not together and generally their naughty crispy baby talks would go on till wee hours of morning. They talked just nothing and yet everything on their cell phone.

The cell phones were exchanged quite frequently and the ringtones were the gifts they gave to each other on the 1st weekly anniversary they got together. When they were together, they would walk by the Hudson river and stroll on the Brooklyn alongside the Ground Zero with hands in hands and sipping coffees. The business of the coffee shops used to grow by leaps and bounds whenever Matt and Teddy decided to stroll.

Teddy was happy to see that the beers were slowly being replaced by coffees. The morning after daily calls or occasional weekly strolls used to be hard for Matt as he used to follow by a session on his lappy after talks with his sweetie. He had to get up to catch the train to ManHattan to his work place to 750 Avenue, whereas Teddy had to wake up a bit late as she had a bit late timings in the office. But before they could go to their respective work places, they used to catch each other up on cell and blow infinite kisses on cell so much so that one had to cut the call unwillingly to enable them go to office practically fit and not being lost in thoughts of each other which were never ending and full of tremendous love for each other.

Walks, Weightloss and Coffee

Its been a lonely and very boring Sunday evening. Weather outside is hot and not at all chilly. I joined the weight loss program and the day 1 was ok. Some machine was put up and a session of 35 mins followed. Dunno if i did a right thing or not by joining. Somebody said to me there are some side effects. I dont know. Didnt consult nebody. One and half month, target loosing 5 kgs.

Have given up Non veg for a month and half. TOugh ordeal, but for body gotta do it. I lvoe myself more than the chickens and the lambs. No butter stuff, no bread stuff.

Today was most boring day in my long time life. No blog to read, no movie to watch after epical Rab ne. No live cricket too and e1 watching movies on TV were boring. Slept for 2 hrs, studied for Java certification tomorrow. And when I gave up went for a coffee.

A small cake n coffee joint a few blocks away. Gobbled up a maggie, 2 cofees, hot ones. Sat for 18 mins waitinf for maggie which gets up in 2 mins. Had it and then went for a long walk. About 2 kms. Now i m making a point to go for a jog or a walk everyday. Put your ipod on, switch urself off and walk. Just tht u wont get ne breeze out here...Just heat....

Never felt so lonely. Ran out of every option to do. I want to change something of my life. And that something is find a friend.

Learning of the day : Dont take initiative on yourself to connect to everybody. Let people reach out to you than you go them everyday.
