This was a speed sketch done from my desk, in A4 size paper with a simple HB pencil.

Interpretation of dreams

We don't meet everyday.  Once in every week, to be precise on saturdays we meet at our off-campus class room. She was beautiful, in fact dream girl for many of my batch mates. I admired her beauty, smile and womanhood.  Though we've never talked, occasional smiles while passing by implied that we were not total strangers! which made me feel good :).
One fine day (a Sunday, usually our semester exams happen on that day) before the exam schedule, she stopped me midway of the stairs heading to the exam hall. 'Yes, weird things like this may happen before exams that's quite natural'...... I thought. For the first time she talked to me....... I responded well as was awaiting a chance like this. She started off the conversation with the exam syllabus and gradually moved to out of syllabus. I could make out the envious looks from my batch mates passing the stairs. I covered them with a gentle smile and continued the conversation till the bell went, after which we both departed to the respective class rooms.
Before commencing the exam there was a hustle and bustle in the classroom where she was headed, somebody calling up for ambulance and things like that.  A few minutes later I came to know that the beautiful girl whom I've talked to some time back has fainted down and... gone.  I was struck!!! the condition was made even worse by the fact being I was the last one she had talked to. Exam got postponed. God! I was sweating inside that air conditioned room, and my heart pounding as every one started staring at me as if I've done something wrong.
Suddenly I woke up and realized that I was drenched in sweat, even at that winter night. Rest of the night was horrible but managed to get a few more hours of sleep. The very next day(I saw that girl, she was perfectly fine..... sigh.) after reaching home finishing the exams, I put this as a challenge on my roommate, to interpret it for me(he opted psychology as mains for the national administrative exam - and that made him our informal counseling psychologist).
He started off with his questionnaire:
* 'Do you have any special interest on that girl?'.....I said a flat 'NO' even though it was not that true to the core.
* 'You don't like to write exams right :)?' that was his second question. I couldn't speak back a single word, just to cover up my surprise I smiled at him. What else can you do when you're caught point blank?
sps. 

she disappeared in to the crowd.

It was a journey as usual by train, back to the silicon valley of India. It's a one night journey for me, infact for many onboard to reach their work location after spending the weekend with dear and near ones.


I woke up early in the morning(which is a very rare thing). By that time most of my fellow passengers were up and busy sorting out their luggage and stuffs, I cursed myself for not booking a train that would have reached a bit more late. While reaching out for my shoes below the lower birth, I saw a beautiful girl,  nice sight to start a day with!!!. She was so beautiful that I quickly(but in a controlled way) got up, had a face wash and even put on my glasses to get a clear vision.

Strands of hair flying in the air, gentle smile on her face, her wheatish brown skin in the morning sun and the shades in her body formed by the moving train .  I couldn't take my eyes of her, she was such a beauty!!! From there on artistic and the aesthetic senses took over. I wanted to make her my next subject, to be freezed in to my sketchbook. But somethings cannot be locked up, you have to set them free to enjoy the beauty (dear friend you'll not see her sketch here). I thought n number of reasons to get her attention, she was least interested :(.  And was busy with her cellphone tapping as if there was bugs running in the screen, in fact she was composing some message. Why this girl is typing such a long message? why can't she just ring  and speak up? whatever, in total she swept me away. Finally the destination reached, as my other hundreds of failed love at first sight, this girl also departed.

part II
(usually I don't drag this much for blog posts. Yes I know it really sucks but the situation here demands it, hence this part).
I hurriedly got in to a bus to reach my home at earliest, there were no window seats vacant as some lucky souls occupied them but I got a normal one(Yes, I do love the window seats). Gradually the bus got crowded, and to my surprise found that same old girl with her backpack, struggling to keep herself stable in an overcrowded bus. She managed to keep her bag below a seat and again started to tap her phone.  Man! what is wrong with this girl? why is she doing this kind of stupid things?

The conductor was asking her for the destination point, she simply turned her phone and showed the text she made in it. God! I was frozen seeing that, she was a mute. The next 15mins of my journey, I was simply observing her with some unexplainable thoughts. She got down in a stop before mine and disappeared into the crowd, but she's still there in my memory...
