My Classmate’s Marriage – Contd.

It was my classmate marriage. She’s a colleague of mine too. It was the first marriage of one of our classmates after the college. Also, I would get time to spend time with my friends. Though I had many issues to attend the marriage, I decided to attend the marriage on a whim. – And I regret this decision of mine a lot.

Womanizer had a crush on her. He had proposed her during the college days, but she rejected his proposal. So, I thought it would be fun to attend the marriage and make fun of womaniser. But he too had something up in his sleeve to make fun of me. He had already announced that news to me before. I thought it would never affect me, but it had its effect a little.

It’s the surprise of this year’s February. (There’s one more thing too. But it’s a secret)

And the news is - My Ex is getting engaged to a college professor.

This February had taken its quota to surprise me.

I had similar kind of surprises in the last few Februarys.

I hated attending the marriage. Except the fun we boys had the night before the marriage – talking ghost stories and stuff like that, the marriage was no fun. I wish I had spent the time like we spent the previous night on the marriage too. As I told before, it’s a girl classmate’s marriage and our other girl classmates came with her office colleagues who are girls. 

Womaniser started talking to his girlfriends and ignored us as usual. I don’t blame him because he is womaniser. He can’t help himself. And Chettan is a committed fellow. So, he was spending time with his Valentine that day. And I had Lady Ji with me. I thought he would be giving me company. But he too gone with the wind.

It’s not like I was shy or anything. I just don’t feel like talking to a girl. I greeted some of them because I know them in IBM. And that’s the part I can play. Nothing more and nothing less. And I was too tired to talk to my friends too. I had slept for 2 hours and I was supposed to go to my Periyamma’s house after the wedding. The one guy who came to my rescue was the guy who Chettan and Womaniser didn’t want to come to the marriage. He too cringed me out in some places, but I had the liberty to scold him.

I know its kind of an insecurity but fuck it. 

After the wedding, we had many discussions on this. And all those discussions ended up as, me being the bad guy. Now I must accept the fact. I did some terrible things like lying to my closest friends and not behaving well on the marriage. I could’ve talked to the girls in a free way as if we are friends for a long time. But the problem was – I don’t speak to people who I am not close with, be it a boy or a girl.

And finally, I will be me when I am around with my friends. And no one can take that part of me from myself; not even me.

I don’t want to discuss the secrets of the Februarys of 2017 to 2021. But I can say this – 

I am me because of the events that happened on those Februarys. From falling in love with a girl to breaking up with another girl (Technically it’s a break up as it’s a one side love), from escaping a near death experience to indulging myself in a life changing experience and from writing screenplays to directing amateur short films – These Februarys taught me and changed me a lot!

Ranking of Harry Potter Books

  The End This book is my second least favourite book of Harry Potter series (I’ll explain why Deathly Hallows didn’t become my worst HP book while I give the ranking of HP books). I expected Harry’s character to mature a bit after he fucked up because of his recklessness in the last book. But guess what, he was the same and it costed Albus Dumbledore’s life. Okay! That’s a cruel thing to say. But when I read the book, I wanted Dumbledore to live. (It all changed when I read the next book!) And he deserved more respect from Harry. I knew Dumbledore never trusted anyone and all that shit. But Harry should’ve trusted Dumbledore (even though Dumbledore blamed himself in this book. This is mutual respect motherfucker!) And the climax was another tragedy and this time, I didn’t like the tragedy. Mainly because how the final book was set up in the climax of the sixth book. I didn’t want the trio to wander away to find some weird deathly hallows. I wanted them to stay in Hogwart...

AWOL (The Red #2)

  “What the Hell, Ed” “Hey Babe! You look good” “Aff! Don’t call me Babe. And you look terrible! Wipe that cocaine off your mouth” “You got me Babe.” – She liked when I call her babe. Rolling her eyes, she helped herself inside my apartment. She knows all about my apartment. It was not long back my apartment was called our apartment. “This has to be something good, Ed. I never wanted to see you again. And I am tired reading all your drafts for all year.” – She never looked at me since she entered my apartment. She thinks that she is the reason for my lack of talent. She sat down on the sofa. “Babe. I know you feel guilty because you were the one who broke up with me. But it’s not your fault, Babe” – I can feel that it triggered something inside her. She suddenly looked at me, eyes blazing. “I feel guilty? Or I should be feeling guilty?” Shit! She took it in the wrong way. Before I can open the mouth, she started shouting. “It has been one year since we broke up. A...

25TH POST!!!! Beyond the Clouds (EOI #7)

Beyond the Clouds I couldn’t able to sleep that night. I ended up dozing off at around 3 AM. It was my mallu friend who woke me up. I don’t know why (actually, the question to be asked is IDK how), I developed a habit of not waking up to my alarm. I have tried changing all the tunes, but the sound of my phone’s alarm never reaches my ear. I woke up, I didn’t change anything. I have planned for this day in a perfect manner. All I did was - had a warm bath, drank a hot strong coffee with a samosa for breakfast. Packed my bags, left my keys in the PG and for one last time, with a heavy-hearted sigh, I left my PG for good. The Cab was waiting for me and within an hour, I reached the airport. I have never been to an airport before, but Bangalore airport was a massive one. I had no clue what to do there. The first thing I did was, I took my printed copy of boarding pass. After a long queue for checking the body temperature and my AADHAR card, I entered inside the airport.   ...
