School Days

Amazing ! was the first word i mouthed when i thought about my "golden days" at school.

I chose Science my destination (though sad, coz the hottest chicks around in school shifted to arts and commerce) after boards. Although life was not a cake walk those days, getting school early in morning then JEE coaching made up my day. One thing that made me vibrant and happy was that" One Smile". It was such a charm which made my mind pour all its worries and troubles in a bin. Heart started pounding hard when i first talked to her, really nervous and perplexed. I said , " Hi, are you in the same class ?"( how dumb! I was, she was sitting in my same class for the past one week !) realizing the blunder, i turned slightly to hide her view. but to my surprise she replied,"Hi, my name is **** .Ya, I am in same section." Thank god! I saved my ass from being blown.


Couple of weeks passed, we were good friends then! shared the same seat in every english class( I was damn bad at that subject and the girl..... exceptionally talented) Back then i was not aware of the chemistry we were sharing or rather I was not able to accept what was going on! we were laughing , playing ,fighting( she was too gud at it tooo) and her favourite business my leg-pulling.

Now i was so fond of her, I started giving a visit to her home in evening whenever it was an off from coaching. She was happy too seeing me at her gates in the evening which altogether boosted my morale of visiting her that frequently. In school, my friends started to tease me off her name and she too was not left alone. My friend (who used to accompany me to home) occasionally had a list of rapidfire questions thrown about her which I used to giggle out.

Farewell for our seniors neared and we were all geared for the event. After the school program was over one of my friend asked lets go to my place(later I realized , it was all set coz his girlfriend avoided to get to his place alone), and have a blast! I was having a coaching class the next day in the morning so I declined. Then came the aphrodite herself," Parag , lets go ! Dont be such a jerk. See I am also coming along". Who in the world can deny the power of a GIRL ...
So there i was in his apartment, banging my head to the tunes of Chaiaya Chaiya, then she came blushing," lets have paper dance, now " ."Parag, shall we??"
What?? paper dance and with me? I was the worst dancer on earth and now a paper dance with her??? My feet swelled, i was sweating hard . " Come, lets me see your moves . Let see how far can we do it !". I prayed god ," Plz ! Plz! help me. Let the skills and steps of great ballet dancers on earth, inculcate in me" We stepped on a TIMES OF INDIA, and music began.One Fold.... Two Folds ..... Three Folds. With every fold she was nearing me. Now I was so close to her that i felt fer breath. She told me," Hold me tight, I do not want to miss in now !"
My courage rosed, I held her from back and she put her hand on my shoulder. What a classical pose of every Romeo and Juliet in this world!

By next fold she was completely on my foot and we almost have hugged when someone called off!( That very point I felt like murdering the caller) My friend's girlfriend wished to leave, so he made an end to the party!

Couple of more incidents happened and we finally passed to class XII but the story didnt hung up here !
Ill be adding more to my MP3 shortly .... stay tuned :)

Such deep introspection, after so many years and still so lively narration! great! after all its not easy to forget your first love. I must admit our school had no dearth of beauty. Even i was a victim!
Keep pouring in such stuff. Its lovely to recall those days.
