Me and myself

Sigh. Such a beautiful night.

Yeah, yeah. The night is black and the moon is white, just like any other day, or night. Blah, why is this train camping so long at Mandya of all places? At least, you got the whole lower side berth. Lesser noobs to bother about.

Relax man, and enjoy the cool breeze. We’ll be home in less than an hour. Oh, LOOK!

Look where? The fat-ass TTE?

No, no. The girl behind him. Oooh, she is so pretty!

Macha, every girl is pretty for you.

This is “special pretty”.

Facepalm.

Hey, I think the TTE is getting her here. Well, he has to. This is the only vacant seat left in this cabin.

Oh God, please don’t.

“Neeville koothkondiri. Innellu seat khaali illa” (All other seats are reserved. You can sit here.)

Yesssss! This must be your lucky day cmus!

Great! Here we go again.

Quick, help her with the luggage.

Macha, it is a tiny hand bag and it must be lighter than your socks. Don’t be such a despo.

Okay okay, just say a “hi”. Wait! I think you should give her a couple of minutes to settle down. You shouldn’t look desperate.

Yes, you shouldn’t.

Now, go for it. Introduce yourself.

Please don’t make a fool out of yourself.

What’s wrong in saying a “hi”?

Wrong place, wrong time. It is almost 11 in the night and everyone else is sleeping. You’ll just freak her out.

Don’t worry man. You look decent, just like a professional software engineer.

She’ll call you a creep. I’m sure.

It’s okay. Then, you can go back to your stupid songs. Just try once.

I think it’s a waste of time. Just look at her. Do you think she wouldn’t have a boyfriend already?

She is travelling alone and she is not texting anyone or on the phone yet. That means she is single.

Facepalm.

She is taking out a book. Wow, an avid reader!

Two states. Chetan Bhagat must be her favorite author. Do you really want to kick start a conversation now?

You really don’t know that, do you? Even you’ve read all of his books. Anyway, what has that got to do with her now?

I’m just saying that both of you wouldn’t get along really well.

You never know…Blimey! She shot a glance at you.

She is just looking out of the window man, enjoying the night like you said.

There! She looked at you again. Somebody is checking out cmus eh?

Facepalm.

She is scratching her ear. I think even she wants to talk.

Please. Save us from this torture. Jump out of the train. Now!

What?! Can't you see her fidgeting? Just like you?

Stop over-analyzing for once.

Machaaa... Vaaranam Aaayiram scene!

Do you know how Surya looks like?

Love is blind. 

But, the girl is not.

Whatever! Ask her if she is travelling to Mysore as well.

What difference does it make?

Maybe she stays nearby to your place and both of you could share an auto.

Yes, Einstein. Nobody will be there to pick her up at midnight and you shall be the white knight in shining armor to rescue the damsel in distress.

Hey, I’m just saying. She could be the girl you were searching for, you know.

Stupid infatuations.

*Ring tone*

There is your boyfriend now.

“Hello Appa, innond erad nimshdalli bandbidtini” (Hello dad, I’ll reach the station in a couple of minutes.)

Any comments bro?

Pfft.

Cmus, she is The One! When was the last time you spoke to a girl in Kannada?

You are working in Bangalore. Long distance never works. Now, just go back home, have a nice dinner and write something if you want.

Yeah, that’s all you can think of. Your stupid blog. You are stupid. Stupidest! Ever! Bloody coward!

No, you are wise and pragmatic. This would have gone nowhere.

She is getting down. This is your last chance. Come on!

Gone with the wind.

Sigh… this sucks. I hate being a guy.

Tell me about it.
