It was a very drowsy day as I worked form home… By evening I got fed up and wanted to move out & as always I can’t think anything other than a movie… Booked tickets for Rio-3D at PVR Cinemas… But was late for the movie by 10 min and I was a bid frustrated as I felt the day had not meaning… But the God has kept something for me to get excited…
When I came out for Interval break I saw my girl (now women) with whom i had great crush… I was in my class 7 and she was in her class 6… She was a tiny little angel for me who lived in my neighborhood… Everyday I goto a our association play ground to play cricket & she comes there to play with her friends…
I’ve always tried to make come connect with her and felt like talking to her… But I lacked the guts to go talk to a girl and am the same till date… Then one Christmas I heard someone asking my mom “Where is Anand Anna?” and when I walked out it was this girl… She came to me & gave me cakes and she left… I was a bit upset but was too young to feel low for a girl… But what saddens me is I’ve not conveyed to her that I had a crush on her and that was not the relationship I was expecting from her…
Then they left our neighborhood and I lost touch with her… Then after 16 long years I saw her in the theatre & she came with her husband and her kid… I noticed her a while back but I was not sure if I’ve to talk to her… But she recognized me & asked if I’m Anand… Only consoling thing was she called me by my name and not ANNA… It was a brief formal conversation enquiring about my parents & sister and vice-versa…
She didn’t introduce her hubby or kid who were watching everything… Also she said Kid was excited to see the movie and she left without passing her contacts… Nor I was interested to ask for her FB or Mobile contact…
I had crush on many of my classmates, neighbor girls, travel mates and I’ve never conveyed my feelings to them… Till date I’ve been a coward… Not sure if girls will take it with pride if I open-up :)… Hope I can meet all my lady crush often…
