We got engaged (confession : I wish, literally ;)) in talks again and I gave her some more tips. Since I have been a freelance astrologer for a long time now, I also talked about that too (confession : girls take a lot of interest in all these things, I wonder why? Come on man, I have never taken this to my stride and start a conversation using this, not with girls at least). Finally the flight landed at Atlanta. Things were getting interesting but I was putting a lot of efforts to help myself (oh yeah!). 

She yet again helped me in getting through immigration stuff and I had suddenly started to feel bad. I had to take my flight to Tampa in Florida, and hence I had to leave her behind. Oh man! I dunno why I was feeling so! I was not related to her anyways. I was just an acquaintance to her, least important. Just before we had to separate out, she asked for my email, which I gave a readily. "I saw yours in your passport" - I said, hesitating. Don't worry, i will not send any spam. Still she looked at me, with suspect in her eyes. I had an expression - "wow, you can know my name, why such a fuss about email." Suddenly she said - "I trust you". 

(Confession : Wow, that was one promotion I loved the most)

She turned and headed towards the exit. I also turned, but could not stop myself turn and look towards her again. She did not turn. 

I reached Tampa safely. I already had my room and room-mate fixed. But I had a very strong feeling for something, something that I had left behind. I was having a very miserable feeling. As if some power had snatched my world from me! Really?

I followed her to our next flight and she indeed was a nice girl. She helped me through checkouts of flights etc. We had 4 hours to spend together. She in fact was worried about her marriage. I gave her some tips etc (confession : trying to be smart), on her looks etc. "Does she even need anything etc. to look good?" - I asked myself. In between she wen to restroom. I looked after her bags etc. She had taken one hand bag with her. When she returned, she looked refreshed and more beautiful. I dunno what was happening. 

Finally, we boarded the flight to Atlanta. This time our seats were far apart. After the flight took off, I immersed myself in my book again. I was feeling a bit sleepy, even though I had slept a bit, earlier. After some time, someone knocked at my front seat. I looked up. She was standing, smiling - "I was feeling bored, no good company there". I smiled and shifted towards right of my seat (confession : Good company? me? awesome, thanks with a twinkle). 

"I am Priyanka Mehra - we have talked so much and I did not tell you my name" - She said. "Neither did I, I am..." I was interrupted by her, - "I know your name, I sneaked through your Passport when you were talking to the officer in Paris " (confession : Interesting, yeah). I again brushed all my thoughts out of the closed (!) windows. The most romantic city of this world along with The Eiffel, was left far behind.

"I am feeling bored and am not feeling sleepy" - she said. "Excuse me, you said something to me" - I said (confession : she actually said it to herself, but I heard it, clever me :D). It was 3 am in the morning as per Indian time and she was not feeling sleepy. "Are you nervous?" I asked her. She said - "yes, kind of, I am about to meet a guy in Atlanta, whom I might get married, a Software Engineer". "Like me" I thought. So, I was close. "I can tell you what guys look into a girl when they are getting married", I said (confession : I wanted to share with her my perspective, which I had till that day shared only with my maa, in fact I was dying to share that, to be precise). 

"Do you have a girlfriend?" She questioned me blatantly. "No, but I am a guy right?" A twinkle had come in my eye. She was disinterested. She said "Thanks" and wore back her headphones. 

And the flight landed in Paris. In the meantime, we had talked a bit more about our families etc. She was going to her sister's place in Atlanta where she was about to meet a guy. She did not disclose me his name till that time. She had taken up masters in United States earlier and had worked there till recession struck. After that she left for India. She also disclosed (I dunno why), that she had a boyfriend in India earlier, who actually left her exactly on her birthday. I have been a very patient listener, so I was bearing her cessation. I thought - "That guy must have been a moron, for sure" (confession : It was good he left her ;)). Had I started to empathize with her? I think so. I felt that she had been very lonely after that. (confession : Just as I was, sigh!). I brushed a lot of thoughts which were driving me towards her. "Come on man, she is going to meet some guy" - I thought.

"Excuse me, please, this is my seat!" she said to me with twinkle in her eye! I said to myself - "wow" and to her - "So sorry, I am travelling in a flight for the first time". I checked my boarding pass. "Ok mam, you have the window seat". "Don't worry, I will help you! I have traveled to the US a lot before", she said in a welcoming tone. I was quite taken aback. To confess, I have been a shy type guy all through my life, with not many female friends. Girlfriends? Me? Never! 

Half an hour ago, well, while waiting for the flight, I had actually seen her. She had some sort of tilak on her forehead. "Spiritual, hmm, nice and unexpected" - I said to myself. But she did have head-turner looks, with all guys (confession : including myself ;)), about to board the plane, trying to look at her. All had one awesome question in their heads - "Will I get lucky?" Now, she was beside me. "What is this going on?" - I asked myself. My reserved nature immediately brushed apart the thought. I was pretty sure that at such age (she looked like a girl of 27-28 something), she must have been married and was going to meet her husband.

Within moments, she settled at the window seat. The plane took off in moments. Since I like to read while travelling, I immersed myself in a book, while, she was watching a movie. No dialogues till now.

Bong! And we all stood up in applause for my dad. Saurabh's father was also standing with him along with Saurabh and the Director of the Stock Exchange. I had chosen to sit with Maa, Saurabh's mother and of course, Priyanka and Puja. Finally after the hard work of 3 years, we had gone public. Our company was now listed at the stock exchange. 

Everyone hugged each other and I touched feet of all elders, and gave a tickle on Priyanka's face. She was all smiles, beautifully dressed in red chiffon.  After the lunch, Saurabh and I finished some formalities with the stock exchange officials and handed the papers to the managing director of our company, and gave him the instructions for our next meeting and other stuff. 

Then we left for our hotel. I helped Maa to enter the car. And then sat along with her and Priyanka. Dad was beside the driver, as usual. After the car started, Priyanka looked at me, lovingly. 

Four friends

The below snap I took in Florida, obviously! It was taken at the Fort De Soto Beach. Beautiful place. And obviously it was evening and it is sunset. 

Why do you think it is called four friends? Well, we were four guys visiting this place! And this snap also has four friends! Also, it was taken on 3rd July, 2011, one day before I left for India, after my first onsite!

Flights of fantasy

Just have a look at the below snap. I took it when I was in Florida in 2011. Most people are late morning people and specially if it is Monday morning. But I have been an early morning person for almost 5 years now. Luckily, as you always say, that you will meet like-minded people where you go, the same thing happened with me. My friend drove me to east coast of St. Petersburg early Monday morning to get this snap. 

What is so special about this pic? Just that I found a plane above the skies so I tried to snap it, in the meantime Sun peeped out (left corner). Many times you are doing something, but something else happens, may be better than what you expected!

It's all about LoVe!!! :)

This is my second blog that I am starting today! It will definitely not contain serious matter as my other blog does. Rather here I will put my random stuff about life, that I encounter or experience on day to day basis.

Now to begin, I will just share the following video from the movie DDLJ, one of my favorites and if you are an Indian, you must surely be familiar with this song, and I am sure you will definitely love watching it:

By all means a beautiful song with awesome lyrics, awesome music and an awesome couple in love. It has several beautiful sceneries and few comic scenes too. Don't miss Kajol's eyes' expression at 2:40 and the cow's critical turn at 0:03; even the cow seems to be caught in the whirlwind of love :D! Definitely, one of those songs that will make you fall in love with love!
