I wasn't someone who enjoyed 'drinking' as a social activity and hanging out in pubs and lounges was something that wasnt really something which occupied my weekends you know? but slowly, to not dissapoint ur friends and see that priceless smile on their face u go that extra step sometimes. and trust me, that extra step is responsible for my (extra) happiness in my life today! :)

We were lounging around in Bunker's on MG's on a sunday evening with some of our seniors whom we were meeting for the first time in our lives! For starters, I'm someone who would say hi-hello and for sometime it's just that and nothing beyond that but once I know you, it's a different story ofcourse!! anyway coming back to bunker's, i was having my breezer and side by side was busy mesging my roomie who was sitting right opposite to me. lol. It was all dark with a few twinkling lights here and there and there was LOUD music - I remember "Gasolina" was the track which kept repeating every 20 min. There was this guy who was sitting on the couch - let's call him "P". I had noticed only him out of 10 other guys when we first met outside the pub. We exchanged glances for a second i remember. P was busy watching match along with his umpteenth glass of beer and I couldn't help but notice his cuteness even when he looked completely sloshed out. The seniors were laughing, drinking, singing and chitchatting. "boys talk" mostly. He was one of them too. His lose shirt which was half untucked and ofcourse his super lowwaist jeans did catch my eye and yes i wont deny that :P when he went out because someone called. He came back, and put his hand behind my couch. it was purely unintentional I know but I could feel butterflies in my tummy and that Idiot wasn't even aware that a junior who's sitting besides him is majorly hitting on him! ;) I cannot just CANNOT forget that moment. It was just perfect. Strange connection at a strange place with a stranger. I knew at that instance, that we had a long way to go. somewhere, sometime i felt he would play a big part in my life. I know 5 min is too short a time but you know, it happens sometimes. You "feel" something at that particular moment and it has such a strong effect on you that it's difficult to ignore. I was lost in my thoughts and there he was asking me my name. I told him and asked him his. He joked whether it was my first time having a breezer that I look so groggy. I was like -"whatever.. that isnt funny" lol unwanted attitude n obvious indifference. how childishi i know! ;)

While having dinner with my roomies I declared "I think I have a crush on one of our seniors" in a very playful tone and all of us laughed, made fun and slept away to the glory. The next morning everything was forgotten except the strange connection.

Weeks passed by and I got busier with the routine in bangalore. Friends, College, Hanging out, sleeping, other activities, going home on long weekends.. everything was going perfectly normal. But meanwhile, my liking towards Mr. P was on the rise. I was aware that he was upto something with one of his batchmates (it was a she) and so I had decided not to rush into things at all.

But somewhere deep within me I had hope..
