“So we
have successfully derived the final equation for total power for half wave
monopole and it is 73.11 Irm^2 .so in the next class we will discuss about
radiation field’s”, by saying this she ended the class.
“Next
class”, is the only word that hit my mind, which means the class is completed.
Uf… a great relief after 2 hr non-stop class by our AWP mam. I don’t know about
other people but it’s very difficult for me to really pay attention to that
class especially on that day.
Yes that day is very important one because one
week ago Madhu said “hey! Plz …don’t mind, I am having exams I can’t talk right now
I will talk to you after exams ..k na…” . Madhu, she is as beautiful her
name. She is my school mate. After long wait I got in touch with her. So I was
eagerly waiting for this day, at last the day has arrived & I was so excited.
I ran back to my room not even waiting for my friends. I reached room as fast
as possible. My hands just reached my cell even without taking off shoes or bag.
But all my excitement gone in flash, because there is no response
from her.
“Shit
…… these girls never do what they say”….I was so angry. After checking out my
missed calls, my inbox showed me 4 unread messages. There is only one person in
the world that messages daily, it is none other than customer care. But this
day I have a message from an unknown number “hey …! How are you?”
I am 200% sure that this must be her; I have to say sorry to all the
girls about above line. And without any doubt and hesitation I started giving
her reply
Me:
ya I am fine. How do you wrote your exams
Her: hey how do you know it’s me…..
Well I cannot say that I have been waiting for her reply since a
week
Me:
yaa.. It’s a wild guess…J
Her:
hoo...k ………wrote well exams, so when will your college ends
Me:
it’s up to 5…..so what are you doing?
Her:
I am in train …coming to home for pongal holidays.
Wow she is coming... My
mind began to think “is there any way to meet her” I don’t know where is she
staying now but one thing is clear she has to come to Vijayawada railway station
because it’s a junction
Me:
hoo... That’s cool..! So by which train are you coming?
Her:
sheshadri express
Me:
hoo…so at what is the nearby station you crossed?
Her:
we just crossed samrlakota
Me:
it’s already 7:30pm, you will reach Vijayawada by?
Her:
hmm if train maintains its speed as it is now then may be by 9:30 or 10:00 I
may reach vij.
Me:
what? …. Are there any friends with you?
Her:
we are around 10 in the train.
Me:
after reaching Vijayawada where you have to go?
Her:
Tenali. We are staying in Tenali now, dad got transferred to Tenali.
Me:
ho... Anyone coming to Vijayawada to receive you?, Or there are any friends
from Tenali with you?
Her:
no one is there and no one will come I have to go by my own... :(
that sad smiley made me more sad, she is alone
at that time in the night ,for me it’s just half an hour to railway station so
I decided to go for her more likely for me…;)
Me:
hey everything ok.. If not I can come, I am just a few km’s away from the
station.
Her:
no no don’t want, I can manage.
Me:
are you sure?
Her:
ya...Why do you take strain?
What!! she thinks that is
strain to me……..?? If she wants me to wait for whole life in railway station I
am ready for that. I was in great confusion to decide to go or don’t. That’s
why I made a call to my one of the best friends he always helps me in any
confused state. He said me many things but the only thing I remembered is “do
what your soul says to you”. I just closed my eyes thought I have 2 cases here
first one if I go there I can meet her and can talk to her. Well suppose if
don’t go there I may never get chance to meet her. That’s it, I have decided to
go.
Its 7:30 so I got up and refreshed well. Almost did everything I can do
in dressing to impress her. And started. Got into the bus and checked the time
it’s just passed 8:00, now I replied her
Me:
hey I am sorry; I am coming to railway station...
Within seconds I received call from her, its after 2 weeks nearly
we are talking. Almost all the time we communicate through messages. I can’t explain
in words how happy I am to see her name in my cell.
“HELLO “! …….I said by
picking up the call.
“ARE YOU MAD?” was the first question I heard from her. I want to
say her that I am crazy about her but I don’t have that guts.
“HEY YOU CAN SCOLD ME AFTERWARDS
...PLEASE TELL ME YOUR COMPARTMENT NUMBER”, I said. She just laughed and
said “IT’S S-2”.
“THANK YOU, I WILL MEET YOU THERE BYE”, I said and ended the call.
Now I understood why people become crazy in love.
I was totally involved in the thoughts of our meeting. Suddenly
the husky female voice disturbed my thoughts “TICKET PLEASE”, that was the
female bus conductor voice. “ONE TO RAILWAY STATION PLEASE”, I said. “THIS BUS
DOESN’T GO TO RAILWAY STATION”, she said.”WHAT? ” was the only word delivered
from my mouth. I think she understood my dilemma and said ,”I WILL GIVE TICKET
TO BUS STATION YOU CAN GO FROM THERE ”.She left giving me the ticket. I still
don’t understand how I stepped in to the bus without seeing the name plate.
That shows how much I was thinking about our first meeting.
And I
forgot! There is another problem here I am a very new to the city Vijayawada
.Within 20 minutes I was standing all alone in front of the great Pandit Nehru
bus station , Asia’s 2nd largest bus station next to Chennai. Up to
some time I stood there watching it. Suddenly my watch indicated me the time by
making beep sound, it’s exactly 9. Now my heart started to beat slightly, so I
again made call to my friend. He clarified me the way but he also told me to
ask some people around there for more clarity. One old man told me to go to the
next side of bus station and from there you can get into the railway station by
15 min. I thanked him started running through bus station. So within 9:20 I was
standing in front of railway station. What not we have to do for meeting
someone special, so special.
The moment I entered the station I
received msg. from her “we will reach vij. In 10 min.” By seeing that message I can hear my
heart beat aloud. Every person who has to enter into platforms has to take
platform ticket. The Q for the tickets is so long at that time. Her next train is within 10 min. I have to
talk to her at least in that 10 min. If I stand in the Q then it’s not possible
to come out in 10 min. Whatever happens
I have decided not take any risk of missing her. So I directly entered into platform
without taking platform ticket. At last the train has arrived on platform
number 4.
I was
standing right at which S-2 is expected to come. The sound of train made my
heart beat raise to maximum extent. I can hear my heart beat even in that busy
and noise platform. Within seconds S-2 was in front of me I saw many people
getting down with their heavy luggage. But my eyes were only searching for her.
Last time I saw her nearly in my 8th std. almost 7 yrs. But I still
remember her face very clearly. Not remember I have to say I didn’t forget her
in these 7 yrs. She got down with her 2 bags and stood in front of me,
searching for some one, I knew it was me but I stood silent. Even after 7 yrs
she is same as she was in 9th STD.
After few looks she looked at me, and said, “you are chiranjeevi right?”
Thank god, at last she recognized me. “Yes “, I said. As there was more rush of
passengers on that platform we decided to go to her next train platform. I
helped her with the luggage. Her next train was already in the platform and
will start in next 5 min. so what I have is 5 min. to talk with her. I can’t
propose her in 5 min. but I just want her to remember these 5 min in her whole
life as I do.
After adjusting the luggage into the train we sat on the bench. She
started talking by scolding me “are you mad or what, what is necessity for you to
come”. I just gave her smile and diverted the topic ‘’so how do you wrote your
exams’’. “Wrote well”, she said. “You have changed a lot I can’t recognize you
in the first sight.” She continued. “But you are as same as you were in 9th
std.”, I said. She smiled slightly, that touched my heart. “So where is your
house in Tenali “, I asked. “It’s near, adjacent to railway station”, she said. I then recollected that her father is an
railway employee. “ho your father is railway employee …right?” I said.” Yes,
how do you remember so many things about me?”, she asked. There is no answer
but just smile. “So who will come to railway station to receive you”, I asked.
”mom will come”, she said. ”hoo, hey u know is it that much necessary to take plat
form ticket?”,I asked her just to say her that I haven’t have platform ticket.
She burst out into laugh. After that she asked “you are studying engg. And you
didn’t know it’s necessary to take platform ticket”. She gave me her vizag to
Vijayawada ticket and said to show that ticket if any TC asks. She asked some
more questions about her friends. We haven’t finished our talk the train
started. She got into the train.
The train started to move fast she looked at me and waved her hand, I
too waved back. Within seconds the train disappeared from the plat form. I came
back to bench and sat down there thinking about the wonderful 5 min in my life.
After some time I received a message from her “hey thanks for coming, go safely.”
That message filled my heart with more love for her. Of course I
knew “anything for her”. This is the best ever conversation in my life which
was for 5 min in Vijayawada railway station which I never forgets in my whole
life.
That was really intriguing and exciting man.. :-)
