" GO - AHEAD", I gained it..!!!

I showed denial , acted maturely, opined many other options for comfort and luxury, but nothing moved off my dad's decision. He wanted me to spend a month in dormitory, a public hotel room, during the month of June in Mumbai for an internship at Daruwala Law Firm.

I realized, Dad! You are always right.  Happy Father's Day. 

I wouldn't have afforded to loose the most inspiring, exciting, entertaining, caring, humanly experience to live in the company of Seniors....

I was scared of loosing my expensive belongings, Laptop mostly, I carried 4-5 locks with me. I didn't know it was the least expensive monetary valued object that I locked every now and then. Room-mates were business leaders of their places and carried so much of cash kept unlocked. This boosted up my confidence to  trust people, and at least I tried  to Trust.

Wow! This hostel life is far better than our hostel life. No Laptops, No songs or other self-entertaining tool, healthy discussion on politics, social aspects, education and other not to be mentioned topics. Ya! Sometimes the filthy stuff but better than hostel crap. 

My silence participated in every discussion but observed keenly every person's way of speaking, and level of thinking which varied so much.  I am liked by many seniors, many times they invited for dinner but I preferred my mom's opinion, "Not to roam with unknown people".  

The exclusiveness lies in the room as well, it was the biggest and most special room in the Hotel. People plan trips according to the beds vacant in the room which is done days before. The all time and regular customers gained privilege of staying in the octagonal shaped room with three big regular door size windows at third floor. All this information has been gathered during the stay with room mates, none of them was new to this place.

They shared their experiences of learning things when they were of my age, how they strove hard to reach to a level of sustainability. If I can relate things, why I am here, why dad wanted me to stay here, is only to make me learn how he lived his life to provide luxuries to us and how I should live my life ahead.   " GO - AHEAD", I gained it........  

This experience is enriched in independent living with people of not my age and I felt remarkable when one person before leaving gave me his contact number and emphatically asked me to come for stay next year. He was above sixty, I never had a good bonding with people greater than my age. 

I want to enjoy this again in future, rains also helped to add flavor in bonding when we all spent one day in room due to water logging and flooding. 

This one is especially for you daddy , You always make me experience the BEST...

MAGGI!!! R. I. P.

For your soul to rest peacefully,  2 minutes of silence. 

Maggi! You will be missed ..

The Uttar Pradesh Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA), Lucknow disowned you and many other did. Loads of joke aired on whats app, facebook,  to name a few. I was shocked and millions too. We salute your faithful attitude, you filled every single stomach in our nation at a price everyone knew, Rupees 10. You left us, you were pulled back by your master, for several reasons that were true. 

Your appealing epidermis was easy to boil, painless to break, limbless mingled into each other. Our mingled intestines also look like yours , running with your traits got affected and caused incurable diseases. It wasn't your fault, you are traded in the Countries not one or two on fingers but in hundreds. 

Many preservatives were added on you, you carried along,  hurting you for 3 months or so. Lead (Pb), was not the only reason for your non-existence, there are many including MSG ( Mono Sodium  Glutamate) and political too. Your faithful supporter also supported you, the small masala pack,  came packed in yellow cover with you. You cheated us, so we cheated you by hiding  the truth that we dramatically acted to empty the pack at you but always watered our fingers before binning the left over. 

The laboratories where you were tested for your purity gave different results. Though, you all came along in India but got distributed all over the country for trade and food. You were banned before pulling off  in different States relying on the  results that revealed the quantity of  MSG and Pb present in you. The safe limits is 2.5 parts per million, you carried lesser or greater was decided by FDA and many others too. Many tests gave lead present more that the safe limits but some gave lesser than the safe limits. 

This encumbered your trade, different test results shouldn't had came to make you the worst product ever existed. The test result that ought to come is the mischievous attitude that was observed and understood but hard to prove,  "2 Minutes to Maggi" was never true. 

Hosteler would crave at night for 2 minutes of food, Winters will miss the mouth-watering steam to seduce the mood, Rs. 10 is what all you costed individually to the troop.  

FEARSOME DATE!!!!

This is how I learnt to never say no to a girl for a date.




How many dates I have made is a  dark side of my personality because I couldn't make any. Supposedly, I acknowledge this spot to my first planned but un-executable date, a curse came from the day of saying "NO" to a girl.......

HUH!, What could possibly be done when you are in school. Study, make friends, celebrate birthdays, play games, and DATES- an informal girl-boy meeting, a rare but demanding opportunity.

Ha! We planned but I was too young for that, class 8th, amid of teenage.
******************************************************

Saturday, a half day, both of us with  same  excuse of being late in school for sports or other non-existing activity, came out from our homes and planned to go together to a newly opened McDonald in the city.

Now BIKE or Public Transport?
***********************

 We foolishly or unknowingly skipped this from our plan . Though I had a bicycle but imagining her sitting behind me on the bicycle would have been a clear creepy picture and, another option with her was her school auto in which she owned a seat, a seat is a big area in school autos, so she might had own a senior girl's lap but a risky option to ask the auto driver to drop somewhere else. So no options available other than walking together along my bicycle.

The bell rang, we both came out to the Basket ball court like rescuers, she was ready to jump outside the school from an open gate to finish off this date and reach home at earliest. I was doubtful too, rather not reluctant to execute the young minds. I hesitated every moment and finally a pause came, brain decided what to be done irrespective not deciding only for myself, I rushed to the cycle stand without turning back. I could hear some voice screaming my name but I preferred walking without turning.

I SAID, " LETS GO BACK HOME", and moved opposite to her leaving her alone on the Court
*******************************************************************************
 I paddled my bicycle at full speed available from my shivering legs towards home. Eventually, it was the last and final day I heard that voice, we didn't talk again, no calls, no chats.



I didn't turn back to see when she left or if she waited for someone or she called for some help or any other certain possibilities to reach home. she lived 20-30 kms away from school walking was not an option for her. She surely had missed her school-auto because we wasted time at basket ball court, about half an hour.

She must have felt like the girl at left side, I killed all the certain options to reach home peacefully. Though she had only one...

Missing a school transport is not a big deal, we miss hundred times, I missed million times and people came searching for me to school and other pet playing places. I was responsible but not so far to end the world.

 Probably a reason for the break up, mmhhhhh!!  not a right word, an end to the friendship.
