I did it again!

"Can I ask you a question?" asked this girl. 
"Yeah, that'll be fun!" I replied back.
"You know that blog, which you wrote about your crush. Who was it?" The sharpness of the question shot me down. If it wasn't for this girl, I would have said the name without hesitation.

Crushes or Infatuations are common for boys unless for some nerds. My thought of being a nerd was proven wrong when I got a higher rank in Engineering entrance. 36087 is a great number, but it was more of a statement that I was no less a common boy. I had few crushes in college. A couple of which I still ponder on. It did not happen at the very same time. That'd seem inappropriate. One in first year and the other distributed around the last 2 years. 

By the end of my first year at college, I knew I had something going on with a girl. But the fact that there were too many bees buzzing around her head, made it a short-lived one. It was Christmas which incited the feeling and it took another Christ to pave way for my second adventure. An year passed by without another stop and somehow it happened again. There was a pall of uncertainty which always hung over my second experience. I didn't know when, how or  where it happened. But, it was special and so was she. Some say, "to have a crush on someone is a sign of growing up". Rightly so, because I outgrew my wits but never my inhibitions. And even before I realised, college was over.

Because it lasted for a while, I decided to write a blog. I gave it the title "My crush was never in a relationship". I always hoped her to be in a relationship, as I lacked the courage to express myself in person. But this question still breathed down by my neck "Who are you referring to?". The answer was conspicuous by its absence.

But, when she came back with the same question 2 years later, I  was overwhelmed to find out that she had read it. Afterall, very few people used Google Plus even during it's prime.  I soon deleted the blog, fearing she would seek an answer. Standing face to face with my fears, I took the easiest choice.

"So tell me, do not try to dodge." She demanded.
"It was Girl-1, first year. That was my first crush". I told her the lie but there was some truth. I refrained from saying, "there was another one and it was you". Nevertheless, nobody wants to be second to none.

I lied to my crush about my crush. I did it again! I evaded the truth. I am getting better at lying day by day.  From master procrastinator to master liar.😇

What is my passion?

    PASSION ! Google gave me two suggestions for my search " passion meaning ". Of which the most likely definition that I could infer from my 18 years of studies was this " strong and barely controllable emotion " .    I had strayed into writing this blog with an incomplete answer to my question. If I go with the definition I had agreed to in the beginning, then finding an answer may seem so painless. Cricket was and continues to be my breath of life. I never get bored following this modest answer. And this modesty is what draws a fair degree of incompleteness.    The conflict arises here, and rightly so. When I dig in deeper into my passion, be it cricket,music or caricatures;the solitary reason that leaves the rest in solitude is MONEY. So, I began questioning the "modest" answer! Why cricket/music/caricature? And I got  a sequential answer like the "fibonacci series",the consecutive ones getting added on to give a completely new ...

New thoughts and new way of thinking!

            Ah! I am about to say this wonderful incident which took place in "mydream avenue" at "some timeduringmysleep". Well,now you got it,right?(it's a fantasy that I am about to deliver). Yes,it is really worth reading( Please don't confuse that I am bragging for readers at the moment). But, this tiny little incident will give you an idea about the current generation in India, jokes apart at least in Kerala.             Two kids were standing near the gate of some school somewhere in my city(don't forget the place that I had mentioned in the first para). From their somewhat hurried lip movements, I could smell a horrible day that had just passed by for the 13 year old looking kids(oh! yeah they seemed like kids,the reason which you will find about in the next few lines). I took a few steps towards them. "Oh! you are so girlish Varun... Otherwise...Otherwise you would have dropped your habit of p...

Prologue

  Silence, pin-drop silence! I knew someone had to initiate a conversation, otherwise the situation was not heading for a “bright future”. The sound of cool air pumped out from the AC vents and some aggressive gear-shifts made by Ravi’s father, that was the only audible thing until then. The old Hyundai Santro had a really nice AC that, even I was shivering at the back.             “Lucky me! Just missed! Otherwise I’d have been taken by them too. Man, you are having a really bad time.” At last I broke the silence, by delivering the carefully made out sentence which I had been thinking since we got into the car from Police Station.             “Exactly! What worse could happen? We were just discussing things at the shop next to the college entrance. Seemed like it was all planned. Somebody sold us out.” Ravi replied with a gust of anger and disappointment.              “Like it’...
