Oh God , You are so Unfair

His Story
11 th June 2007

Finally We went out . It was her birthday two days ago and I don't know what gave me the courage to ask her out . I assumed it was a date . Then began the rituals .Went to get a haircut and a shave. Had a cold shower ,which lasted forty five minutes . Put on my best Lee cooper shirt which I had saved for this day . Borrowed the Woodland shoes from Naren to look a wee bit taller than I actually was . In short that was the best I had ever looked in the twenty years of my existence ( the cute baby phase apart ). Bajaj Discover had never seemed so dirty before . I cleaned my bike to the point where it shone in the sunlight.

I stopped my bike a good twenty meters from her hostel gate and adjusted my shirt and hair once again . After twenty minutes , which seemed like an eternity ,she finally came down . Her face shone in the twilight . If not for the two missing wings ,People would definitely have mistaken her for an angel . For some reason she said 'Let's take an auto '. And for the first time in my life I got into an auto without bargaining for the fare . The ride was bliss . Everything looked beautiful .


We reached 'Tamarind tree ' and settled down in a quiet table . She ordered a spicy veg fried rice and I also went with the same . She was dressed in a violet salwaar and the effect of her long cascading black hair on the salwaar was better than any Pablo Picasso painting . I couldn't take my eyes off her even for a second . I had always thought Salma hayek had the most beautiful eyes in the world . But the girl sitting opposite to me overtook her comfortably . I just felt so comfortable talking to her . I never knew i could talk so well .Even the silences were comfortable. The food arrived sooner than expected (damn these restaurants ) and to be honest I love food but the fried rice just wouldn't go down my food pipe . Then i saw her eating . There is something very sexy about girls eating . The way they take very small bites . The way there is always a tissue in their hand . The way they try to talk with food in their mouth . Oh god , You are so unfair .

The bill arrived and i took it immediately . She insisted on paying saying it was her birthday treat . I had no option but to let go . We arrived at the hostel at 9:00 pm and she was in a hurry because of the hostel curfew timing . So we didn't have a proper goodbye. But hey who cares , I had one of the best evenings that anyone could ever have .



Her Story

Oh god , I am glad i am back and I am glad he did not know about the curfew time being extended to 10:00 pm on Saturdays. I don't know why i agreed to it .What on earth was I thinking ?

He was pestering me for the past week about my birthday and he turned up with a big expensive gift on my birthday . So had to agree to this treat . I was thinking the whole afternoon on how to get out of this , but couldn't come up with anything . I didn't want to get all dressed up and give him the wrong impression . So i just washed my face and put on an old salwaar . He arrived earlier than I had expected so had no time to do my hair . I started going down the stairs . My mind was still trying to come up with an excuse to avoid this evening . I reached down and saw him . He had come on a bike and I didn't want to be seen with him on a bike. So we took an auto . I have never had a more boring auto ride in all these years . I started looking outside . He started to stare at me which made me even more uncomfortable .

I suggested a restaurant which was not very popular so that no one would see us there . I avoided starters and soup on purpose. That would make the evening longer . My veg fried rice took an eternity to arrive (Damn these restaurants ). Even while eating he kept staring at me . He kept talking during the entire meal and during those silent breaks he would go back to staring again . I was praying for the bill to arrive soon and luckily it did . He wanted to show off by grabbing the bill . Who asks for a treat and then grabs a bill ?? I paid and we finally reached the hostel at 9:00 . I wanted to avoid the part whee he would have said " let's do this again sometime " . So i made up the curfew excuse and ran upstairs . Why do only women have to go through such jerky experiences ? Oh god ,you are so unfair .
