Feb 14th evoked a lot of mixed and vexed emotions in me, not for the reason that I share my first name with the culture honcho Muthalik, but it was exactly a year before this Date, I met ‘HER’…. Yes HER refers to that special someone…. Many of you might know her, she’s pretty famous these days, but what u wouldn’t know is that I’m dating her…
No, she’s not BulBul…
This post is a Memoir of the bygone year with her, a repertoire of experiences she’s enriched me with… I intended to post on Valentine's Day itself, but because of the demanding nature of hers I was forced to stay away from the internet, and celebrate our anniversary elsewhere.
I met her, for the first time on Feb 13 2008, She was at the HR room in the 5th floor of my office, waiting for me there; after a couple of mins of talk, I sensed we were getting closer, I didn’t expect that it would be such, that she would be mine henceforth. I felt a Déjà vu when I saw her, I felt I had met her before, Known her at closeness, but I cannot recollect when, where or How….
Ever since she’s been with me I have had to make a lot of compromises and face some moments of embarrassment and some moments of euphoria. She’s been a very revealing companion, the association with her has put me through a lot mental and physical drills that have changed my perception of the world and also the world’s perception about me. Well, she does try to motivate and Urge me to do things that others can or cannot do, but her company many a times inhibits me from doing things that others would.
I would be lying if I said I do not enjoy her company, I do like to be with her at times, but I do not like her with all the heart, especially due to her extreme possessive nature, and her stubborn grit to dominate the relation. The world too doesn’t approve of our relationship; many tell that I’m perverse and irresponsible to be courting her, even though it was the world and its actions that brought us to be what we are in today. My parents who are aware of my relation with her are terribly upset and do not approve of our marriage, sighting that it’s not our ‘culture’. It’s an emotional turmoil, when they deride my relation with her, with words that can destabilize the sanest of minds. I don’t know if I’m lucky to have the support of her parents to our relationship, they've rendered all the support to see us together.
Although I don’t know them with clarity, I have a fair Idea about them. They have long been divorced, that has in a way brought her much closer to me. Though divorced, her parents are eager to work closely to see her married off to me. Their eagerness and efforts have at times forced me to believe that the only option with me is to marry her, but I’m unsure of her being the right partner for life.
Sometimes, unable to bear her possessiveness and stigma of the society I’ve tried to detest my bonds with her, but she remains to be true towards me; growing stronger and deeper in the relation, and the efforts of her parents have ensured that my antics to escape from her are neutralized.
Those who’ve been wondering who’s that dumb girl who’s fallen for a skunk like me, and her parents who her being stupid by approving our relation, well wonder not,
Her name is Ms. PINKy SLIP, and her parents Mr. Fiscal Downturn and her mother Lady CHANCE-illa LUCK. We are almost a family now….
Does it sound a happy family???
There was somebody who wrote about a falling in love with a yellow Ferrari in a similar fashion. Nice post :-)
ReplyDeleteOne of your best posts till date. I can actually feel the emotions you go through. Brilliant post for the manner it is written. Almost till the last line I was really excited that if not for Bulbul you are telling the truth of someone. From a reader's perspective the last line almost makes a 180 degree phaseshft on emotions of the reader himself.
ReplyDeleteGood that you could make up so much suspense before actual delivery. One of those moments where you can say "Jhor ka jhatka dheere se lage".
Your girl friend is a great for the fact that she could bring out such a fantastic post out of you. I hope she inspires you further to write a killer story before you eventually breakup with her. Because when you breakup with her I wonder if you would get enough time to do justice to your talent.
