Return of the Encounters (The Judgment Day)

Contd…


Hi guys. I am back. Hope you people didn’t have to wait lots for the further encounters. I got few comments for my last blog that it was little too lengthy, and I should make it precise. This time I am sure this will be compact, as there is not much to be written. ;-). Let us directly move to next scene without wasting much time. :-)
In my last edition I had boarded the train for Calcutta. Here I am.

Scene 2:
Location: Calcutta
I reached Calcutta at 4 am in the morning. Here my college friend Arindam (ARD) was coming to pick me up. He had told that he will reach by around 6 am. So I had to spend 2 hours somewhere around. Calcutta is one of the busiest places I know in India. Even so early in the morning, so many people were out in the road, as if the city had never slept. And over that the city is very dirty, and traffic is just dangerous. Only experts can drive here. Its not only two, three and four wheelers you have to take care of. Suddenly from nowhere a tram( a road train famous in Calcutta, u can walk faster than these trams; mostly suitable for young couples, who have much time in hand, to put hand in hand, as told by ARD) can come and remind you of your worshipped god. (Oh my God!!! Arey Ram!!! Hey Bhagwan!!! Ayyo Murugan!!! Hey Waheguru!!! Ayyo Swami!!! Oh Jesus!!! Yaa Khuda!!!). I don’t know why Calcutta is called as ‘The City of Joy’, where at each step you check yourself if you are still in tact. Anyways, had never thought that city will give me the other dimension, for a very short period, but a new dimension.
Strolling under the famous Howrah Bridge over the Ganges shore I somehow managed to spend an hour or two, when I got a call from ARD that he is coming. In between I had messaged and informed him that I had reached. He came at around 6.30. My next train was at 4pm. We decided to spend the day in his house only instead of wandering outside. We boarded a government bus from the station terminus till his house in Beliaghata. It’s around 30mins journey. In the bus, the left side seats are meant for ladies and right side for gents. Anyways we had no hurry, so we waited for an empty bus to come, and then get into it. ARD took the window seat, and I sat sideways. Slowly the bus started to fill up. All seats were occupied. Here came up, Miss Y, our heroine for this scene, dressed up in attractive and appealing pink (purple, anyways color hardly matters). I just wished that if she could come near to my seat and stand. And I just hoped that ARD will have that much courtesy that he will leave his seat for the lady. I couldn’t leave because, I had to carry my bag, and moreover I was not sitting in the window seat. Generally girls like window seats na!!! ;-)
I don’t know how many times before I have made such wishes seeing attractive girls, but God always had deaf ears. But what had never happened before had to happen today. She ambled (walked leisurely as if on ramp) and came and stood in front of my seat. For a hold in the bus she grabbed the iron rod of the seat just in front of us. Even I had kept my hand there. Our hands were just far enough, maybe few centimeters. Seeing her, both of us raised our shoulders; both praising our own smartness, attraction and magic which pulled that girl near to us. ARD slowly whispered into my ears that this bus further goes to the software park of the city. Like Dhoom movie, even I had a slight glimpse of my small and happy family, a glimpse where I was standing with Y and two small kids (obviously ours) and I couldn’t stop my smile, when I saw Y standing just besides me. Bus was fully packed by now, and it started with a big jolt. Her hand touched mine. There was a shock flow throughout my body. Anyway guys, this is normal, so don’t worry as it happens with everyone. She was fast enough to remove her hand, with a simper (shower of smile, I wish I could understand the meaning of that smile then). She wanted to tell me something, but couldn’t. All because of those dirty and bloody guys who were hanging around her neck. People kept coming in that bus and no one was getting down. She started feeling the push from people standing behind her perhaps, because she was slowly moving towards us (me to be precise). With her each movement I was growing happier. And I could clearly see the jealousy in everyone’s eyes, including ARD. I felt around 20 pair of eyes, they were watching me continuously, and maybe were making their wishes, about replacing me, and putting themselves there.
Anyway, bus started to roll and so did we. She came close, closer and closest. There was a time when I was enjoying all this, and ARD was watching it with a red face (with anger and frustration). Now this proximity of Miss Y had forced me to become red. I had started to blush (fair guy :-)). This being a family blog, I cannot give u further details in detail*. But next 20 minutes were like a fun-filled horrible ride for me. At the end I was just wishing that the bus stop should come, and I should get a reprieve from her. After all, it is so cheap to raise an alarm telling that a guy is smothered, pricked and needled by a girl. I was just thinking about all those women activists, who come on roads to protect women and all; if they see such women activities, I don’t think they will bother to continue their practice. ARD was all aware of what was happening around, and he was enjoying more than me at the end, pitying on my condition. I was not able to do anything, as any protest could have changed the expression of those 20 pair of eyes, from jealousy to violent. I have heard that in all such situations, everyone supports the fairer sex, without even considering who is guilty and who is victim. So the only thing which I could do was to wait and pray. I only know the speed by which I got up when ARD told that next stop is ours. I left the seat and asked her to sit, so that she doesn’t traumatize any other Gaurav in further journey. She told me thanks, and sat and gave a big smile. I was somehow able to open my mouth and tell welcome, and got down in full speed.
I had a look around me. I was feeling as if I was out of some central jail. I looked at myself. I was still wearing that distorted and sweaty t-shirt which I had wore some 38 hours before, while staring from Bangalore. And early in the morning, I was not in the best of my looks (I do look handsome. At least my mom tells me that. And mothers don’t lie ;-)). I just thanked God that those 2 hours when I was waiting for ARD, I didn’t go for changing my t-shirt and tried to look fresher. If the effects of Set Wet Zatak Deo’s are same as that shown in the ads, I am sure I would had sued them for being so much provoking. But good, that I didn’t go ahead for doing any such thing. Or else, I don’t know what would have happened. I don’t know if I could have been able to get down that bus in a single piece, or she would have eaten me up.
This was in complete a new dimension for me, and at the end of the day I came to know why those gimmicks call this as ‘City of Joy’. You will never know where you will encounter the joy. It might be that the bus ride was very horrible, but once I got down from it, and the senses came to control, the only wish was to go for that ride once again. Just one more time, last time. J
But life was still not over. Still lots to see. So headed from there for my native place finally. Reached station and found that train has been delayed by another four hours. So again came back to ARD’s house. This time I was in a clean t-shirt, and everything was Set Wet. Didn’t meet any Miss Y though, had positive effects. I will suggest all my friends, guys, to use that Deo. It has positive effects. You can confirm this with ARD. Wat say ARD? Remember that auto wali ladki. Ha ha ha!!! Then we went back to station at 7pm again and got the train this time. Thanks Arindam, for being in the ‘City of Joy’.
One of my readers has asked me when I will stop writing about girls. Let me tell you, sorry, but not today at least. The last dimension is still to come. Guys, please wait for that also with same eagerness.

* Guys, don’t come for asking those details. Especially Durga!!!
