shall we dance??

The evening was lovely....
her presence  across the candle-lit table coupled with the moon peeping through the clouds made it look even lovelier...

Her eyes strayed and her lips picked up a smile...clearly,she had seen something interesting...
A much-in-love couple swaying to some light music was her object of interest...

Having sensed her next move,he twisted uneasily in his seat...
he even considered using the loo as an excuse but she acted quicker than he thought....

"would you like to dance?"her big expressive eyes seemed to ask more than just the question..

"ahh...sorry...I don't dance"his tone had a hint of regret..

"me neither...I mean...not usually in front of anybody"...she sounded equally regretful

"oh..no...I mean I...I don't at all...as in I can't"...he bungled up his words big time...

"everybody can dance...come on!you can't be that bad"...THE INVITATION was there...and the reassurance seemed to have done wonders to his non-existent dancing skills

"pleeeease"...the same eyes were fixed at him and this time they were expectant...

Fingers crossed,she waited with bated breath..

The nervousness showed and he seemed at a loss of words...

"for me!!..."'THE WEAPON WHICH NEVER FAILS GIRLS' HAD STRUCK...he melted without a word,his expressions conveying everything

"come on"....she knew she had won,the triumphant glow on her face making her look even lovelier...

Lost in each other's eyes,they arose and danced in each others arms...without a word...that night,it was ONLY LOVE that did the talking...
Overpowered by the strongest emotion ever known to mankind,they danced...and danced...and danced......

P.S.-I don't dance either...;-)

As I pen these lines,my facebook &  twitter timelines are flooded with updates about how ‘The Dark Knight rises’ has finally given a fitting finale to the World’s most loved superhero… However,for someone who’s waited so eagerly for the final movie in Nolan’s Batman trilogy,my mind’s been strangely pre-occupied.. At 10 in the morning,surfing through news to bide my time through attendance,the headline of Rajesh khanna’s demise had little effect on me..I had never been a Rajesh Khanna fan,my tryst with his movies restricted to some of his lesser known movies & only a few of his classics.. In hindsight,I’d say my sensibilities at that age just weren’t good enough to appreciate ‘Classic Bollywood’… How could I??...My parents were still in college when ‘KAKA’ was at the height of his unparalleled career…Having witnessed the hysteria & frenzy he generated in those days ,(something which led to the epithet ‘superstar’ being coined & used first time for a Bollywood st...

A long hiatus it has been ....part lazy,part busy,part distressed…its all been happening in the previous month or so…what you are about to read was started a month ago during vacations and lying unfinished ever since…so what made me finally take it up??..Time??..nah!!..I’ve always had enough time to scribble...Just that I needed to write this time to get some peace,a feeling which nothing but writing gives me … _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ Mood-thoughtful / confused….okkay!!..I’ll go with ‘confused’ Whats on??- 6 monthly 15 day vacations…. With AFMC choosing to close for vacations when every other university/college has exams,there isn’t much scope of hanging out with like-minded people of a similar age-group,leave alone buddies from school ..sigh!! Add the unbearable heat to the equation and you have an almost impossible situation... This usually happens to me during vacations….I run out of ideas as to how to ...

hiiiiii(jacker). .......try singing it....... hiiiii(jacker) ...funny??...I know its not but then the guy 4 whom it was made wasn't either.. STRIKE 1 - "hi!i'm capt. Dhiresh Chandra 4m the merchant navy,father of Lt. Niraj chandra". ...I looked up and saw a portly,stout man.White beard and glasses in place. A huge belly and heavily strapped legs gave me some indication of his problems. "hello sir!i'm med cadet hitesh 4m AFMC". ...pleasantaries exchanged,he proceeded 2 his bed. A new day....uncle(for my convenience,we call him uncle 4m nw)gets up early and he seems to be on the lookout for something.... actually..he's on the lookout of 'someone'....and the funny part,which i later come to know-that 'someone' could be anybody...anybody who's in his senses and responds even slightly to whatever he's uttering.. that day...i turned out to be that person...not that i had the slightest intention of getting into a conversati...
