Unforgettable Moments of Life..

When we are lonely, alone and sitting in a corner of a room or just gazing at the bedroom ceiling..immortal memories do slip in our mind..and those moments many a times changes the ambiance of the room and mind too.... with me too it happened just a couple of days back .. before getting a promotion and transfer from BOMBAY to New Delhi office, I had a colleague working with me, and we were too close to each other..well its obvious when you spend 8/10 hours a day working side by side you do tend to get close..now it depends on the individual how he maintains it.. with me I shared a platonic relation with her and shared many a personal things with her.. she knew my likes and dislikes too.. one fine day I came late to the office, and was aghast to see her crying and talking to other colleagues in one corner of the office, seeing me, she wiped her face and walked towards her desk..It was indeed a jolt for me..for I had never seen her crying in the last four years together..I went close to her and asked her what the matter was..she remarked "Oh ! so you are not aware whats going on on in the office, now don't act so Innocent..I understand every one wants to grow in life..but, at least I didn't expect this from you.."

Phew ! I replied .."trust me, I really am not aware of the scenario, and you very well know that I was on tour for the last couple of days..tell me what happened, did I commit a mistake..and if so..please forgive me..but right now cool your heals and tell me the fact"..she opened the her drawer and threw a letter on my desk..and said " Take this, have a look at this love letter.."..Love letter ?? '' Love letter addressed to me ?? back of the head I had this excitement..and was wondering ..who the hell is this angel..but I had to be careful in expressing the shock..I, without seeing the letter, said to her" Do you believe in this love letter..? are you mad..? don't you trust me, have I hidden any thing from you.. Nahi na..?now look I really don't know who the hell is this girl..and how the hell she had the guts to write this love letter to me..now will you tell me is she from our office or is she from the next complex, do you know her ??" before I could shoot more questions..she banged her hand on the letter and shouted " Stop it will you..don't act smart or Casanova, read it yourself..and shove it.." '' OOOhhhhh..what a language ... now now this was almost a blow below the belt..looking at her, I picked up the letter and at one glance of it..I could see stars in front of my eyes and couldn't believe my eyes.. I looked at her with a shock and holding the letter in my hand, getting up from my seat and asked her.."what the hell is this??"..she was like almost on fire and once again blasted with fowl words.." " Raj, will you sit down and read the letter completely and justify as a true gentlemen .." I was almost sweating all around my body, trembling while holding the letter.. Now you all must be wondering what the hell is going on, who's letter it is, and so on and so forth..well well well...let me explain ..
The letter was directly from chairman of the company, and addressed to me...It was a Promotion letter..I was Promoted as The General Manager of the company..now you must be wondering why the hell was my colleague crying, and why was she upset with me, and why did she call this letter as love letter..well for a fraction of seconds, I too had the same thoughts flashing in my mind..and turned towards her and asked her.."Honey ..come on, you should have been happy to read this letter before hand.., why were you crying..aren't you happy ??"..she again bombarded a couple of missile at me and said " DAMBOO..first sit down and read the letter completely..don't jump on conclusions.." Phew ! was wondering..where did this calm and quite girl get this blasted words..Now I started reading each and every word of it very patiently..before I could complete, she got up from her seat again crying and went back to her colleague(girls)..the last Para of the letter was indeed which did paralyze me It read " You are promoted as General Manager with effect from 1st of October 2009, and have to resume desk at New Delhi office.." NEW DELHI ..ME?? Phew !...so this last line was like the last straw that broke the camels back..and it was this line that made her cry, use fowl language and blah blah..well I had never taken her action/words in a hurting manner..for I knew her..I looked up and could see that she too was watching me..I just don't know as to how tears started flowing from my eyes...watching my tears roll.. she ran towards me and hug me so tight that I just could not control my self..and said " Honey, trust me, I really didn't knew anything about this.." with her index finger on her lips, she said "Husssssss...Quite..." now she wiped my tears and said "CONGRATULATION SIR" ..I ..I ...I ..just could control the flow of my tears, and this time I hugged her again and said.. I shall not accept this promotion, and if needed I shall resign from the company...I still remember her words that froze me.. "do you want me to be happy, proud and smiling as ever in the office.." I said Yes at any cost..she gave her pen in my hand and said sign this letter..rest I have arrange/managed every thing including your accommodation etc..you are flying in two days to Delhi, and your new steno will receive you at the airport..I am sure you shall come out with flying colors in Delhi office too..I want you back in this office as Vice President of this company, and I am quite sure..you can and you will..my wishes are and shall always be with you.., but one thing which I say from the fathom of my heart..I shall miss you every second of my life..take care"..she left the room..but before closing the door, she turned around towards me smiled and threw a flying kiss..Oh Oh Oh my my my...its been around six months in Delhi..but there has not been a single day when we have not talked to each other..I indeed miss every moments spend with her...I miss her a lot.. Guys ...I hope you enjoyed reading one more true stories of my life..

Down the Memory Lane..

In this para I remember an incident wherein, I was traveling from Bangalore to Mumbai by Train..( Yes Train..No flight due to bad weather ), and I cultivated a new habit on the platform..that is to see the passenger chart list..as to know who is sitting next to me..Phew !! all males and almost their warranty period too was on the verge of expiry..but there was one cute female all alone..now I Bhola Bhala Insaan and 24 hours of traveling and nobody to talk at par..this could be my biggest nightmare..how do I sit close to her, make friendship, kill my 24 hours journey ?? these questions were hitting me hard..my intention were good and mind set clear, with clear & good ethic & Principals..and LOL !! an idea striked my head..and I went to the TC standing near the gate, and I told him..SAARJI, we are a couple traveling to Mumbai, but are located on different berths, and she traveling for the first time in train on a long journey, and very much scared..can you please relocate me next to her..the TC said going through the chart..Hello !! you are Raj Purohit and She is Miss........( I don't want to name her ) how come you two share a different surname..now this hit me below the belt..but being in Marketing & Admin for a long time we guys have all tools and tackles ready for the game..I replied..SAAR we are newly married, and her father has not changed her name in her name passport & Ration card..and he insisted the train tickets to be on her original name, and if you are not convinced, please ask my wife if I am her husband or no..on this he replied..Ok Ok !! let me see, he went inside and I waited outside with my fingers & legs crossed..after some time he came outside the couch wiping his fore head with red eyes looking at me..seeing him I could feel the earth below me slipping... Phew !!

Uhmm..so where was I, Oh Yeh !.. Now this TC came very near to me and says..look I have managed it with great difficulty to get a seat just next to your wife..for the passenger ( Mr. Chand Badshah )next to her was not willing to leave the seat, and has bought some fruits & Mineral water for her, and when I told him, that her husband too is traveling on the same train, same bogey, but has been allocated a different berth seat..so its a request that you occupy her husbands seat and let her husband have your seat..on this the gentlemen ( Mr. Chand Badshah )replied..how is it possible ?, I have not seen him, and it was she that requested me to buy some fruits and mineral water, then where the hell was he at that moment..the TC replied " Look I don't know where he was, might be he was arranging or looking after the language, but right now he is waiting outside, so please leave this seat.. ", "now before he changes his mind Sir, please occupy your new seat". PHEW !! I almost cleaned the sweat flowing from my forehead..curl / set my hair in style..gave TC a hundred buck, said " Thank you ", took my language and from the earlier seat rushed quickly towards her, immediately I pushed my language under her seat, and sat next to her..and requested, Miss, If you don't mind, Can I have that bottle of water, I shall get you a new one on the next station..Uhmmm..with a beaming smile she replied.." Oh ! Sure..please..these three words were an explosion in my heart, and could feel a few heart beat missing.. gulping the cooool water down my throat..I replied " Thanks , So kind of you, are you going towards Bombay." she said not towards Bombay, but to Bombay,..before she could say something I dashed my reply.." Oh ! That's great, I too am going to Bombay, and am sure we shall have a good time Pass together, and Oh ! by the way, I am Raj...Raj Purohit, do stay in Bombay, and You ??.she replied." Well I am from Bangalore itself and have an interview to attend, and its my first visit to Bombay, and I am very scared..Uhmmm hearing this..I replied..Hey ! No prob, I am there to help you..just tell me where is your interview, and I shall personally accompany you..and by the way, where r u going to stay..she replied, Oh ! I have my Aunt staying in Bombay, and She is been informed of my visit, and is coming to pick me up from the station..Uhmm..I said in my Mind " Cholo Raj, Seat Mil Gayee, aur time pass bhi accha ho gayega..and remembered the song " Uhi kat gayega safaar sath chalne se..aur manzil..( CHUHI !! Opps ! Juhi Chawal Laa )
I still remember, we spent the entire night talking on various topic's, subjects, uhmm.. she was just great in all subject of life..including, sports, music, gen Knowledge, Films, Overseas news etc...Phew !! The entire 24 hours journey spent with her is still an immortal memory of my life..and fresh as ever..It was in Pune, that I told her how I got the seat next to her..and How Chandamama, Mr. Chand Badshah was allocated my seat..On hearing it she was numb for a few seconds and later she busted out laughing and said " Raj, you are a Sly Fox"..on this I replied..sure I am..for I wanted to be near the Red Riding Hood..he he..
We met the very next day, for she was selected for the job back in Bangalore's top software company..celebrated together for her selection. After staying for a day , she left back for Bangalore, I was again at the station to see her off along with her aunt. we still are friends, do talk / write / meet quite often, sometimes I am in Bangalore on business tour, or she visit her Bombay head office on some official work / reporting etc.. Its been 5 years now, and we share a platonic relation..I call her Uppu ( In Kannada its Salt ), and she calls me... oh!! Sorry..Yeh Andhar Ki Baat Hai !!
Sometimes I wonder..how did she come in my life or Vis-versa..might be destiny had to play its role..and Almighty wanted me to have a friend with whom I could share every thing..Well that's "THE END"
