caution: saint valentine just turned deaf!
que de bruit! eh bien!
Bombay must have been renamed as the "noisebay"! honking horns, traffic jams,jungled cross junctions, that too on a valentines day!people might find this absurd, but being a true bombaite, i feel sympathetic towards the perseverance and patience this city has shown towards "us"in all these highly turbulence generating and provoking situations that "we" have caused.
i might sound too dry and unromantic when i plead to love bombay and cherish a dream to make it into a place that it was a few decades ago; that too on a 'v'day.
But, this year for the first time i felt that the time should stop in a "freeze".A journey to the town side and i just could not bring myselves to believe (strange belief?) that valentines day is merely a myth and a good way for the taxi drivers to churn money out of useless buggers like this blogger.i must have victimized my date for all the pain of taxi payables, but then i blessed the angel in disguise (for the first time) for being so patient and empathetic.
i do not know, how many amongst the guys who ever dare to read this blog had an interesting date on this 14th, but i sure bagged one! A few months ago i was discussing the syndrome of date and dating people with my archi friends (now open for any placement, so rush and click on various links related to single archi gals!).To most dating seemed to be a mere way of enjoying life before marriage, and which means that it is mandatory that they intend to marry someone else and this is only a good entertainment after a drab and draining day at office.
Strangely, we ended up arguing and debating on our perspections about guys and "relationships" with them.i never believe in a passing phase kind of a relationship, to me any equation which i share with near and dear ones is special and unique in its own right.
Anyway, coming back to my date, it could be a disappointment for all those who believe in candle lights, champagne and ballroom dancing.Wierdly, both of us, were introverts before we met and lost track of direction and time for once that we started talking. We planned to go for a cafe but ended up watching the polluted waters of arabian sea on a wide scoped sky line.
ding, ding, ding!!!, we did talk about romance and poetry ( i hope my date was deaf to bare me singing or reciting a dud poem which i stole from someone,:))) never mind, as long as he was appreciating me for all stupid things that i was doing, who cares!
People often connect at some interesting convergences and then they start talking sense or rather they share congruency of sensibilities.
Sadly, my date didnt know that i am a little deaf, so when he expressed that he likes me, i thought he said thanks,just out of no where! god! i was hoping to get killed!
It was really a kodak moment as i barely could hide my insanity! But, i must have done something good someday and he actually ignored my flexible listening. The interesting part was the journey from marine drive to sion, it took an hour or so to get us there!
Damn, in some other times of the year i would have blessed the traffic systems in bombay but my date was ready to bear me an inch ahead and kept repeating :"i wish the traffic takes longer than an hour, the later the better".God bless him for that and at the same time, i must say that he is really too strong to have said that!
While we were praying very optimistically, saint valentine almost turned a deaf ear to us!
Can u imagine that unusaually so, we hit sion at about 9.15 pm! And, what more could not even reach a glance to each other{(: }thanks to the fear of speculation from his friends.At times, friends pose such a fatal, dont they? :=)]
God save my date and offer me another chance to listen better!
