A romantic January night. Cool breeze from the window. Dim lights and some soft Elvis number pouring out of the speakers. I saw her for the first time. She was just perfect. Flawless. Awesome. I wasn't expecting her, like, at all. She was way out of my league.
I had fantasized about her in times of loneliness and despair. Lust knew no bounds. And I wasn't even ashamed. If only I could have her just one time! And here she was. Mine. All mine. The very sight of her gave me goosebumps. It was surreal: beyond all limits of conceivable thought.
But destiny had it's own plans. We soon had our differences and the damage was beyond repair. It wasn’t like she went out of my life. I bumped into her time and again in the arms of others, often being shared by multiple partners. It was painful. I even began questioning her character. Having no hopes of finding her back, I succumbed to anonymous mediocrity.
She was the first A I got in XLRI way back in Marketing 2. Eleven months and three trimesters down the line, I had her again. (And again, today! :D)

Okay, I'm doing this for the first time. A little newbie to Indiblogger, I'm finding my way around. Promote this post on Indivine by clicking here.
But my 'she' is more wonderful :D Your 'she' had been not so kind to me as well .'Had' her only 4 times in XL :P :D
ReplyDeleteAha! You reminded me of my first A in this bloody B.Tech. :P
ReplyDeleteAwesome Analogy...
ReplyDeleteAnyways good looking girls are a rarity in Engg colleges.Till then let those grades be the fantasy.
@ BI: 4 times!! I have just three!!! :|

ReplyDeleteBut I am a warrior and she rewards me often. But trust me bro, bahut daud lagwati hai exams mein pen ki. Not to forget the burden on the pockets that it entails.
ReplyDeleteAwesome take on the topic.
Cheers
Blasphemous Aesthete
Hahaha! You had me with this story :P.
ReplyDelete@ Purba: I'm absolutely sure she's done with me. The three occasions were probably drunken one-nighters.
ReplyDelete@ Nikita: Hey I didn't really get the problem. You want to approve comments? What do you mean the reply is visible? Don't you want it to be. Presently I cant even see my comments that I had made.
ReplyDeletePlease rephrase.
All I think is that the template, although legendarily elegant might be corrupt. Also, with too many posts, it just loses the feel that it would have by having 2-3 posts per page. Your call.
@ Devil: Oh yeah? You know we aren't talking about grades anymore, right?
ReplyDelete@ BA: Burden on the pocket? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteokay my bad, should have been clearer. im saying i dont approve comments on my blog - but i dont mind replying to whatever people have to say...so while i dont approve ur comments..or any comments for that matter...i cant reply to ur comments on my blog..because when i do...the blog page has my comments but not ur comments..samjha? :|
ReplyDeletemy blog template? you mean ive too many posts on a page?
In that case, the template is corrupt for sure. It's pretty normal. What you should do is register your feedback on the site from where you downloaded the template so that the bug can be fixed.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the looks, there aint too much of a space between posts. That makes all the posts look like one looong post (which acts as an inhibitor] and the titles as items on a sidebar.
If you want people to read what you write, which you do, you should think like a reader. Make it simple.
But again, I have never seen a template as elegant as yours.
Add me on rv2nitjsr@gmail
Ah, too indolent for all that...jaisa hai theek hai.. :D
ReplyDeleteim aware of the space between posts thing..tried to fix it but nahi hua..spacing is a bit of a prob..even within a post..and this is a wordpress template..didnt download it or anything. pfft.
Lazy bones!!!! Move it!
ReplyDeletelol!!! i so love the post!! :) i ll be back for more!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks and welcome! (:
ReplyDeletelol ...tht ws cool :)
ReplyDeleteomg!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Grade.
Love it <3
@ Vicious: Thanks! (:
ReplyDelete@ Niya: Yeah, the grade. Warrants a post, at least, after eleven months of starvation. Welcome!
ReplyDeleteAh! those 'A' days. She always deluded me.. kept rejecting my proposals..until one day.. when she realised that I have grew tired of her & fallen in love with the 'B'.. she got jealous and came to me :) ..
ReplyDelete-
respect her. now watever u take 'her' as n she wil keep coming. like the one waiting smwhr alone to meet u.
ReplyDeleten plz remember my pending treats for all the lovely A's
ReplyDelete@ DG: Yeah man, I, too, resorted to the mediocre 'curves' going by the names of B and B+. That's the deal with these snobs, probably. Play aloof/disinterested and they are all yours.
ReplyDelete@ Devil: You mean the one in Hollywood?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I don't really believe in the custom of treats. Takes the close ones away from you, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteyou're funny =)
ReplyDeleteNice one. Good twist.
ReplyDeleteMay the two of them live happily together ever after :P
Wish you a Happy new year!
@ Kanika: you're right =)
ReplyDelete@ Sh@s: Thanks! I wish! New year wishes for you too!
ReplyDeletehmmm... beauty with brains in engg collages.. its a potluck if u find one and too good to be true when she reciprocates .
ReplyDeleteawesome..

During my MBA getting good grades was rare, atleast in quant papers only passing was enough for me

ReplyDeleteThanks, Nehha. aapke muh mein ghee shakkar.
ReplyDeleteWell written! For a moment I was really confused. I wish you all the best in all the academic endeavors.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sir!
ReplyDeleteWhen did you start taking academics seriously?
ReplyDeleteI didn't. The fifth term has been serendipity of sorts!
