here and there

Her eyes searched for the familiar face in the sea of faces. She was beginning to feel claustrophobic. He was late, again. She hated being made to wait, like all the other girls in the world. Waiting was a problem, ohsir, yes, a big problem! She was just getting back from a tiring day, and just wanted to get home soon. She was trying to spot him in the crowd, when she saw him. A common friend had introduced them, she called him a chocolate hero, in private of course, not daring to say it aloud. He walked towards her, shook hands, asked her why he hadn't seen her for a week. She smiled, trying to compose herself, she thought he wouldn’t remember her. She finally spotted him! They knew each other. She wasn't surprised. Aren't Chocolate Boys supposed to be popular?! He handed her the book and left. It was now just the both of them. He stood there, making small talk. She smiled. He was pulling her leg about her accent. It was time for him to leave. She said good bye, started her walk back home, smiling sadly, confused.

That was the last day she saw of him, that was the last day I saw her.

one or hundered... the choice is ours!!!

the food in my college is absolutely horrible but when i wanted to tell this in our campus bulletin i was asked to change my article. why is this that when ever a voice is raised to bring the truth out, a hundred more voices are raised to cover that truth up? when we are given the freedom of speech, why not use it? it is only when we voice out our opinion, that the person who has made a mistake will realise and rectify it. now, until and unless we dont tell the ivy hall caterers that the food they provide to the students is absolutely horrible and no living person can actually eat it, how will they know about it? and if they dont know it, they will continue to serve the same kind of food. so isnt it better to raise our voice and let only one person suffer instead of letting another hundred million suffer because of the injustice meeted out???

fixed ideas

did she smile at me??? i was eating my food and some kid brushed past me and made me drop my spoon. i felt kinda irritated and made a face. im sure she saw it. but did she smile at me???
why is it that i can never change the image a of a few people in my mind? is it only me or does this happen to the others also?
