Rang De Basanti with Her

RDB. Rang De Basanti. Winters of 2006. Onset of 2006. Event ful times.

Newly in love. Single lane wala nahi. Double lane wala. Intense and Surreal. Nice times of life. Yeah it turned horrific bad later that year. But then Jan 2006 was awesome.

Not cos of her, but bcos of me. I felt good. You see that within feeling. That governs me most of the time. Many times for nothing you feel not good within and few times you feel great within without nothing. So that way.

Movies as you must be knowing now, are my passion. Weekend movies were regular untill 2009 Aug. So 2006 was one such time when I had somebody to partner me to movies. She wasnt very fond of movies, but then I was.

I pitched in hard to get her for the movie. 25 Jan, the movie released and she had left for her hometown, which was in villages of MP. Lol.

Somewhere around timarni or gawli palasia.

So I reached movie Rang De Basanti with her. Of course she had her cousins' family as 'protective cover'. But I was firm that I d sneak a chance to hold her hand or even steal a peck. Who sees in the dark. And cousin sahab had a kid, you now get the picture.

For half hr of the first ha;f the girl sat besides her bhabhi and I had to tolerate her boring cousin. EEEEEEW.

And then after first hour. Boy. She came near me. And for the rest of the movie I didnt leave her hand. Even in interval she asked me to leave her hand as her cousin would see. I didnt budge. He was married and was expected to understand.

I enjoyed the first movie with her. And the only movie I enjoyed with her. Lol.

Todat morning I heard songs of RDB, so those days revoked memories :). Dangerous thing now.

First Valentine together

Valentine day first after they decided to marry. He had magic of words. She had got a beautiful timex pocket watch for him. He had got a huge greeting card for her. And he gave her the card embibed with his message for her. Something that'd bring any girl on knees. Except her of course.

She gave him the pocket watch and he hugged her.

They went to Garden Court for dinner. It was packed but they waited.

Half an hr wait and they had the dinner. She was quiet. The silence killed him. He tried pampering her, but it didnt work. She went silent and more he got baffled.

When they returned back, they had a fight. He had came to pick her n drop back. She kept crying, he kept yelling. She had spoild his first valentine.

3 days later he came to know her periods had begun.

Hum Tum

Watching the scene of Hum Tum when Saif rues loss of Rani always reminds me of my initial days in Pune. Those were strange days. Young, exciting and ready to fall for anybody. Ready to flirt with anybody. I had even finalized one in my then company and nick named her 'Tum' and needless to say I was 'Hum'.

That was a time when I was totally unaware of whats going to come in next 4 years :)

Hum Tum takes me into a different plane :). East Street, Camp, MG Road, my old bike and the flat along with Inox movies every weekend :). Pune was great those days.

Relating movies to some time period in your life and then recalling those times when you watch those movies is just great.

Monday Notes

My assignment got extended by a month here. Officially I would now travel back home on 31st december 2009. Unofficially my assignment would end when I would want to.

There is a production release coming up next week and it would be a night out. i have done night outs in India last year. A night out in US would be an unique experience for me. 8 more days without an issue or an escalation on me would mean my first objective of coming here would be done. For a start, the objective was to have a remarked change in the approach to the work and have no escalations. Touchwood.

This would also wipe off my previous sins as informed by Rash and Bharsu Timma.

I piss off while driving the rental over the weekend when my 'partner in rental' instructed on lights (signals), turns, stops and freeways. Cmon I have got 9 years of driving experience for a Korr and she has not even 9 weeks. Except rules, I m comfortable driving here. I kept my patience high before I thought I would blast her off. Fortunately my patience didnt explode.

I was being hooked to her by my roomie. I mean cmon. I have got a standard. She has been in US for 2 years now. But she doesnt carry herself well. She carries a torn Infosys bag every day to the office. Cant she spend 20 bucks to buy a good bag ? She is always free devoid of work. And I work like mad, she pings when I m sharing my screen with the client asking can we go for a cofffee. I close her window and then she gets mad at me why did I do that.

She has very little workload and she most of the times gossips with people around her. Something I dont do and wont do in the office. I have come here to work and not gossip. I gave her indirect messages that I m not keen to be too friendly with her. But she doesnt get that. She's got 100 friends here as she says and then she scoffs at me that I havent even got 10. I replied back, I believe in friendship's length and not the size. 5 friends and for life would matter more to me than 50 friends for say 4 months.

Apna apna perspective. Plus she lacks maturity. She doesnt like reading books. When I said i m an avid reader, she scoffed and had sarcasm in her tone. She doesnt like what I like. And plus she always walks around with her hair in a mess. And i detest that. This is not India or a small village. At least you got to keep yourself in a good decent shape.

I shaved off my hair in Sep and I got them back in late Oct but in a very bad shape. I got them fixed yesterday. Boy what a lady she was who did the hair cut. Amazing looks...... Brown eyes made me immerse in her thoughts for the time I was in the salon.

Alright I stop.

Later Alligator.

Caution

The previous instance of the relationship had shaked him up to the core. Precisely to the reason he was cautious and grounded this time when the news came to him that he is going to marry somebody. He did not look for those usual set of questions which he always looked for finding if he had compatibility with the partner to be. He did not even look for any other factor. He just spoke once and took a chance.

A risk he hopes and he expects to come true this time. This point of time is the time when he has to get it right. He has to have his relationship successful this time. He believes that love is going to take a lot of time and evolving would be the key.
