smitten!

lets just say I had become a cynic. i was the epitome of practicality. i could do nothing if i couldn't talk sense and be all logical about everything under the sun. i had written off all sort of frivolity and i was the "don't-mess-with-me", sensible, no-nonsense, work is life (almost preachy) 23 year old. life was all about a phone which rang nonstop, meeting targets, sweet talking prospective clients, hiring new people, drinking chai with bank managers and at regular intervals, wondering why, just WHY?! don't i just take up a job and get rid of all the hassles.

my girlfriends( i love them!) were all that i ever looked forward to(socially that is). sleepovers, meeting at the "tea shop", going for shawarmas and TC(now opus). i had secretly started hoping that i was a lesbian at heart. i would never ever have to handle a guy then. or face the traumas of a relationship. my life was perfect. mommy pampering me n me working my ass off, trying to make something of my company. 

n then i was grabbed n kissed. just like that. what followed was one of the craziest and beautifully weird night i have ever had! i lost a phone(again!) i left it in the cab. i never ever take cabs. i always have my car. n i always leave my phone in the car n i have to go back n get it. but that day there was no cab to go back to. the asshole stole my phone , switched it off. but he found it funny. he wouldn't stop kissing me. i was freaking out. and FYI it was a friends phone with my sim card. just one of the very unusual coincidences that night. 

we were with brat and shreek. shreek has been a friend since forever. she got married wen she was 22 to brat. at that time i thought she was nuts. now that i see her so happy i have changed my mind. anyway, i digress. they are now the responsible couple. shreek n brat come in the other cab, extremely pissed off bout us(kids!?) not being in control. they had R in the cab with them, who had been making them stop the cab every 5 minutes to throw up. anyway, we called the cab company, abused, screamed for a while n then just gave up. it was just a phone after all. and it was 3am. shreek n brat barged into the apartment. brat swearing that he would never go clubbing again. n shreek practically ordering everyone to go change and get ready for dinner( i adore her!) i was so wonderfully not in control of anything. i had lost a phone. i didn't have any means of getting back home the next day. i had just been kissed by a guy who i had met a couple of times over the last year, but never noticed. i didn't even know his full name for godsake. i was for once being ordered around. the weather was wonderful and nobody could get in touch with me. 

after eating khichdi n this acchar which made my nose "pop", i was put in a room with, lets call him D. shreek had been trying to set me up with him for a while but i had just scoffed at the idea. n then he just grabbed me a kissed me. i was completely unprepared for it. but i kissed back. we kissed and whispered the entire night. i freaked out in the middle. i couldn't do this to myself all over again. but it was beautiful. we finally decided to sleep at 9 am. practicality kicked in at 10. even though it was a sunday, two trucks were supposed to get loaded that day. sampling had to be done at a site. i had to take updates from all ongoing sites. AND i had to buy a phone for my friend. besides getting back home from vasant kunj to NOIDA without a car. i decided to leave. he wouldn't let me. he could so kiss! i was melting. but practicality had kicked in. i had to go. i went outside. shreek was waiting. she wanted to know everything. my smile said it all. she told me she had never seen me like this. i had never seen me like this! 

but things have to be taken care of at the moment. i hugged her and said bye. i will always remember her for giving me this night. 

its been 3 days and i am back to my routine but i can't stop smiling.
