Hi readers. Long time! I was busy behind another passion of mine;
Photography! Sorry for keeping you waited. It was not at all intentional. Heart felt sorry.
Our hero Sidharth had a break up. He was sick after the incident. Partially depressed and often moody. It was sad to see one of our close friends in such a mood. We tried our level best to cheer him up, traveled places and tried to create a vibrant circle around him. Yet we found him freeze.
One fine evening I was about to logout from work and received this text message from Sidharth that he would like to meet me at 7.00 pm in the evening. That was the one and only positive sign we have gotten ever since the break up incident. I was in a rush to reach the place on time. I was afraid that Sidharth would sometimes go home if at all I failed to appear on time. " People who lost hopes would never compromise on time". I didn't want anything bad to happen. In Bangalore especially near MG Road Auto drivers would always boss you. And if you are not fluent in Kannada you are DEAD!
I hailed a Taxi and went straight to Forum mall. Sidharath asked me to meet him over a coffee at Cafe Coffee Day, where I met him for the first time! I sensed that he had something to tell. I saw him before I enter the outlet itself. He wore a round neck T shirt. On the chest it was printed 'Had I met you Before!'. I didn't think too much about the phrase.
We exchanged pleasantries and settled for a large cup of cappuccino. Sidharth opened up after good twenty minutes. "Sharath, You see what is printed on my T shirt, 'Had I met you before!'.
Come on Sidharth I am neither blind nor illiterate to see or read what is printed on your T shirt. Well whats up dude? - I said.
Sidharth went on.
" See sharath My girl is gone now. But all female friends who have became my special friends have already told me that "Sidharth had I met you before I would have surely fallen for you. See now I have a boyfriend and we are kinda settled what to do boss, give me one fat hug we are special friends!". Sidharth went on, I have been thinking about the sentence for good seven days. My entrance in somebody's life (Especially in some of my female friend's life) had always been really late. As they say in cricket MISTIMING you no? Why the climax is always the same sharath?. Do you have any say?
Why Sidharth often fails to enter in any of his special friend's life a bit earlier? Why Sidharth is often cursed like hell? This time he was really loud that some of the coffee sippers stared at us!
" Sidharth, my dear brother we all have excuses for our mistakes. Girls add bit chocolates and ice creams on some of the sentences and phrases to make them cuter and sweeter. Don't put too much of your brains on such craps. Come chill man. Didn't we study in our college days "Everything has a reason!" I said.
Somehow I consolidated him and we separated for the day. When I was returning home in an Auto I found myself chocking out the phrase " Had I met you before!"..
Rikshaw driver suddenly stopped the auto and said in broken English "Sir tell me you want some girls? What is your budget? I have contacts!". I was shell shocked for a second.
"At night traveling alone in an auto in Bangalore and whispering yourself any phrases like such in somewhat high volume, You may ended up listening such craps from Auto drivers"
Having said all these.....Had I Met You Before....
Thanks for your time!
