Just a Minute.........

This was one of the incident where I was totally enthused for 3:30 hrs in my life with her presence …it was the time when I am making a platform for my MBA by giving different competitive xams (CAT, XAT and so on…). It was around February ‘05, when I went to Hyderabad from my home town to give this particular test. All set for the D-day, I was at the center half an hour before the start of exam. I saw that people very much busy and involved in reading aptitude, as I went through the crowded corridors searching for my seating room, I saw a girl standing beside the door slightly bent sideways on the parapet wall and gazing aimlessly into nothing..(Guess she was tensed about the exam and was not particularly concentrating on anything…). Her back was towards me, and as I was approaching the door her white dress caught my attention, and as I was moving upwards my eyes glittered seeing her long beautiful hair.

With lots of expectations building in my mind about her, I couldn’t wait long; I crossed her and saw her face…My eyes met her eyes for the first time The immediate thought that came to me was “ where on earth was she all these days” …Her eyes were full of innocence…she gazed back and forth into the nothing and to me...which explained she was nervous about the test…. she was frequently breathing in and out…and her lips quivered a bit as she said something to her… probably a prayer.. That one flash of her….I felt was probably what I was waiting for all through my life..… My Dream Girl…My Dream Wife....Everything…. I felt that I could keep looking at her and LIVE ON…and on…

That would be the moment I will never forget until this soul remains….I am popular as a talkative guy, but the girl in front of me muted me, I hardly knew what was really happening around me, and the purpose y I was there? It took me a min to come out of that trance….A momentary lapse in concentration while seeing her was caused by my friend who came in with the seating details...and as everyone of you do I told about her to my friend standing beside me and pointing towards the table where we were supposed to get seated. My eyes were still following her as I entered the room… nothing disturbed me while I was seeing her. Many people were praying before they entered the exam hall.. probably asking God to bless with them their best ever performance for the day…I prayed too… but not for the exam (sorry to say)....but asking a simple wish that she should be seated next to me in the exam hall. My friends( a few guys whom we befriended and guessing how would the paper be like..) were making fun when I told about the wish, suddenly I saw that she was going into the same row..my heart started beating faster..she was nearing my seat..I was behind her following her to my seat...she paused for a sec (probably sensed that I was following her and was constantly gazing her) and then moved on…she then looked around , and sat in her allotted seat. It was right in front of me…I paused a second and had a closer look at her( she seemed to have noticed and was amused by the rays with which I was hitting her )and moved on and sat behind her. ...…The first thing I thought was God is there!!! And my heart was full with of joy…for a split second felt like I am the luckiest guy on the earth..


Now that I could sense pleasure of my eyes inspecting her…I was very much confident that I could convert this tryst very much into my favor….

We got the question paper and the exam started, I was really thinking how to impress her? More than the exam I was bothered about how to break into a conversation with her…(I knew that even though I scores less percentile, I would be able to crack other exams or probably try later.…but what if I miss her?????) As everyone were involved in solving the paper, I hardly attempted anything and spent lot of time staring at her back and thinking ….what needs to be done?.
The test got finished…..Thank God .. ..I was ready with my script to break into an informal chat and later on impress her with my lines …..

She was out of exam hall and was discussing with her friends about the paper… .I blinked my eyes and moved my attention else where just for a minute (there are some external factors which keep disturbing you…and how much ever you could concentrate you have a momentary lapse..) and when I looked back at her I LOST HER!!!! (biggest mistake), I have no clue what so ever…where she went…..… My heart sank as the loss of her sight shattered me…My Love was out of sight…

From then I was “In Search of my Love”

I came back with nothing……………but my hope and search continued for some time…finally I found her details after putting lots of effort (thanks to Orkut also) but the struggle to get her went in vain as I realized that I was a bit late (2 months)…she was married and settled in US……..


It was very disappointing and I was literally down, but since I made contact with her… I had a chat with her, I didn’t know whether it was right or wrong but I told my feelings, I was surprised to listen that “even she felt the same and tried to get my details”. My pain got worse….

Till date I seriously feel, I lost her from my life "just in a Minute...."
