of splits,cones and love.....

"goodbye sweetheart!see you soon"she had said.Thinking of the future that was to come,a smile played on his lips as he looked at her fading silhouette..
                                                                (2)
"my promise ...it..it remains unfulfilled..good...bye...sweetheart"she had said in a choking voice.
Her head in his lap,he had cried inconsolably as he looked at her beautiful face,now lifeless and splattered with blood....Trisha was gone forever,the wheels of a truck being the culprit....
                                                                (3)
It had been exactly two years to the incident...He was at East Street Cafe,the place where they had last met..
Memories still haunting him,he had ordered a banana split;it had been Trisha's favourite...
Having collected it from the counter,he had just turned around when he bumped against a little girl,grounding both her ice-cream cone and his banana split in the process.....
The girl cried looking longingly towards the cone,tears making her look even sweeter now.....
Taking her in his lap,he ordered for a cone asking her which cone she'd want...
A moment of hesitation later,her mother was watching,she said"I want what you were having"
Surprised he was,but he dismissed that for a childish whim.....

A banana split in each of her hands;he'd given his to her as well;he asked for her name...

Pat came the reply....."TRISHA".....

ANAND and me....

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 star)

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
