I am confused, bewildered, not knowing what to do? I have never felt in my life like this before. This girl, I don’t know what she is doing to me? I have to do something, I needed to talk to her but I just couldn’t talk, whenever she is in front of me, my brain cells expire and I am a dumbass.
I had to tell somebody so I talked with sandy about it.
“Bro, don’t tell me you like arhenika”, to say that he was shocked will be an understatement.
Arhenika as I had told earlier was not the typical girl you would have crush on first look or somewhat, she had a sense of seraphicness about her which had just been visible to me and everybody else would have never thought that I , of all people will fell for her.
“I don’t know, I think I do”.
“Ok, no worries see dude you have to talk to her first and knowing you who haven’t talked to a girl unless avoidable it is tough”
Yeah it was, I can do anything under the sun but talking to girls was just not my cup of tea.
“I will introduce to you Hritika; she is a good friend of arhenika and may be something can be pulled off from there”
So Hritika was to be my first friend among girls. Hritika is a girl, ahem, she is kind of tomboy, hangs out with guys more often than girls and shows quite lot of class and attitude, sophistication stuff you know.
Hritika was the first and later on Supreet and Anjali were to join my gang of girl ‘friends’ only person missing was arhenika.
We use to eat together in the lunch time and I just used to smile and look at her.
These girls were trying hard but I was just not able to say anything to her.
I even bought a slam book and no prizes for guessing who the first entry in that was.
“26 November”
“Yes it’s her birthday and what are you planning to do”, Hritika asked.
“Wish her; what else am I supposed to do?”
“Stupid, duffer you will just score good in exams, you don’t use your brains in anything else, do you?”
These were the words that were trademark of Hritika and I was on the receiving end of them most of the times.
“See card is a must and get her a gift, think of something and get it”
After roaming a number of Archie’s galleries, Hallmarks, finally I got a card which I liked and along with that bought a set of 10 cards on which birthday thoughts were written. Safe gift considering that I haven’t even had a full hearted talk with her ever
Finally the D-day arrived.
“It’s already 8, hasn’t she come to school yet”
“Calm down man, there is still 15 minutes to go, she will come just calm down” Sandy reassured me.
The wait was getting nerve wrenching for me, never had I given a gift to a girl and now for the first time I am starting with a girl I have a crush upon.
“Thank god, you are here. Where is the birthday girl?” as I saw Anjali.
“She is not coming today; she had to go to Delhi to attend some function” Anjali shot back.
Anjali was the oldest of our lot, at least she looked and sounded like that, quite mature and calm complete contrast of our teenage like chirping and all and she does not know about my crush on arhenika yet. Only sandy and Hritika are aware of it.
“What? Don’t tell me”
I was broken, this can’t happen to me. First time I have thought of doing something and it has failed like this. I am never gonna do anything for her again. She at least could have told earlier. No No No.
Hritika tried consoling me “ Never mind Aadu (that’s one of my nicknames) she will come back in 2 days time , you can give gifts then”.
But I was not listening, I know the importance of the d-day and I won’t be able to wish the special one in my life on her special day. It was to haunt me till the time I met her after two days.
She did come back after two days and I gave her the card and the gift. It was a pleasant surprise for her as she had not expected a shy , soft spoken guy(this was written by her in my slam book) to gift her with them.
“Why are these for?”
“It’s for your birthday”
“Yeah but why me?”
Why do girls ask so many questions?
“You are a good friend of mine and I just thought it will be nice to give you something on your birthday” I gathered some courage to say that.
“Thanks but I cannot take this gift, I will take the card but not the gift”
I relented and after some pushing by Hritika, supreet and me she finally kept it .
“Bye, see you tomorrow” she smiled and waved as her auto rickshaw sped away.
Tomorrow: what does it beholds, I was unlucky in not wishing her but then lucky enough in giving her what I have got for her. I hope tomorrow brings a new color of happiness in my life………

Parent Teacher Meeting
“Mom, its going to be a bit of timepass, come on” .
“ok ok , I will go with you”. So PTM here I come.
I was cribbing about the PTM but it is a nice feeling , a sense of proud and achievement when you are bringing your parents to meet the teachers , mind it i.e only when you are first in class, not when you screw up the papers.
“Good morning Madam” I said in the most humble and sincere way one can imagine and introduced her to mom. She greeted me and mom and started telling about my marks and all and then mom asked her the question I dreaded the most “Howz arhan in the class, Does he talk a lot or not???”
No No No, I m dead now, neelima is going to spill all the beans now as I closed my eyes and looked for a place to hide.
“No Mrs arora, he is very silent and sweet and is not at all any trouble in the class and now to he is the monitor of the class”.
Before I could believe my ears and pinch myself, a sound came , a melodius sound , a sound with lot of grit and confidence in it.
[B]“Aunty itni to baatein karta hai aur har waqt bas bolta hee rehta hai”.[/B]
Who is this? Such guts to complain about me and that too to my mom.
It was the most unexpected person I had ever imagined, ARHENIKA .
No way, Nah can’t be she, she never talks with any boy , leave aside talking with boys she is even very shy with girls and she is talking like this in front of my mom and even her mom as I had heard that she is very afraid of her parents.
Something In her hit me. I couldn’t just gather the words to reply or say anything at all. I was continuously looking at her as she greeted my mom and introudced herself.
Whatever you call it Love at first talk (can’t be at first sight as I had already seen her) or appreciation of the act of courage she had done, I believed that this girl has something special and I should know more of her.
She’s the one ; yes indeed she’s the one……

Exams and the Aftermath
Why do we have exams?????
It's the Mid-year exams and everybody is busy preparing for them.
I am least worried though and my life is going on as normal, talking and chit chatting while the lectures are going on.
Well if you are thinking why am i not having even a blink of concern about exams is becuase i am a night bird, the ullu as they call it, i can roam the whole day away wasting time but at night time its me and my studies.
Coming back to the class, we had a new team of monitors , a girl named Arhenika khanna - the no nonsense , completely studious , shy , introvert and serious girl (completely opposite to what i am) and another boy Duggal- 6 ft bouncer.
Now as i am the most chirpy and talkative boy in the class, it's the moral duty of our girl monitor to write my name on the blackboard because of which i had to face the grunt of the teachers many a times.
Exams came and there was a scare in some of the papers but overall they went well.
Meanwhile i was getting frustrated of seeing my name everytime on the board and had to persuade duggal to rub it off so as to save myself.
i don't know whats the problem of arhenika, "Main hee milta hun kya har time ; kisi aur ka bhee naam likh do" is what i used to shout but she never relented.
Few Days passed and now it was the time of the results.
"You Rascal, Where's the treat?" shouted Sameer.
"Why what happened" I retorted. Sameer is one of my classmates who only wants to eat all the time and is never shy of asking for parties and treats. He once asked a treat from one of the girls on she wearing a new hairband. Ahem !!!
"You have topped dude, for the first time you have beaten Sandy. This is something huge and i am coming to your place in the evening".
"Holy Cow. How did that happen? Let me confirm and then we will decide the treat" as i ran towards the notice board where the result was displayed.
Indeed i had topped with maximum marks in mathematics (My Fav) and what came as a surprise to me was me getting highest marks in chemistry.
Our Class teacher Mrs Neelima used to teach us chemistry and in a single day i had turned from a constant nagger to THE CLASS TOPPER in her eyes.
The look of disdain and indifference that she used to give me earlier while seeing my name on the board , now turned into appreciation and admiration and i was to be rewarded for it.
And What was the reward?????
"We are going to change the monitors for the class now, Arhenika will be replaced by Mrinalini and Duggal will be replaced by Arhan" Mrs Neelima said after the appreciation.
Arhan- Arhan arora thats me , you must be kidding right? Its like giving the job of inspector to the most coveted thief but it was to be and i was now incharge of handling all the chaos which inevitably 9 out of 10 times was due to me.
I was finding it tough to be honest, telling people not to talk was quite embarassing considering my past records.
"We are having a Parent Teacher Meeting on Saturday the 20th Oct, everybody has to come along with their parents and don't take me lightly , its complulsory for everyone and i mean everyone" Mrs Neelima announced which felt more like an order.
She can be very strict at times and its better not to mess with her.
"Why it is compluslory yaar? My parents come to school only when the new academic session starts and now i have to get them on saturday" I was cribbing again.
"Dude you know neelima , she will be really angry if you are not coming with your parents, and bring them yaar , they will feel good , finally you have beaten me , Ha Ha" , Sandy went into laughter after saying this.
Though Sandy and me always use to compete for positions we were the best of friends since last 6 years and for the first time Sandy had came second in any type of exam, but still he was cool as he said only you can beat me no one else.
It helps being around with true friends especially since Ravi , my mate , my brother and my best friend from 10 years had to change the school.
Its time to convince mom now for the PTM.
About my family i am the younger of the two brothers. My mom is a housewife and my dad is a textile dealer ; the major profession in ludhiana, Yes i am from ludhiana ,a Punjabi.

Salute to the Man Jumbo The True Champion
Anil Kumble Bid Adeiu to a wonderful career on 2nd of November 2008
And with the 3rd test match ending in a tame draw, all the focus now shifts to a man who has carried all the pressure, praise, criticism, adulation, accolades so very well on those broad shoulders. We're talking of a man who has shown the world what commitment is, a man who has always believed to walk the walk and not talk the talk. Anil Kumble, probably one of the stand out figures in Indian cricket known more for his Lion-hearted character than anything else. Remember this man has done it all for his nation, right from pouring sweat till blood. He has played with a broken jaw, went on playing with raw injuries and did it all without a single blemish or a complaint on his face. He has always been a champion. Experts always say that you can judge a person's actual popularity and nature by the way he is treated by the people who have seen him from close quarters. There it is, all his team mates have gathered around him, hugging him and bidding farewell to a true champion.
The last wicket which was a caught and bowled which he took with broken fingers when people were dropping sitters perfectly exemplifies the defiance and teh spirit of the man
Salute to you Jumbo
