27th Nov 2001 to 2nd December 2001

27th Nov 2001 to 2st December 2001
How much do u think could have changed in a week’s time? From not knowing a person, to befriending him and then getting to talk to him; and then just to add to all this Tina had to go to Bangalore, leaving the two of us alone. As thought it was meant to be like that. Tina left for Bangalore on the 27th of November and was to be back on 3rd of December. From the time she left as though suddenly there was a world of change. Someone gave me some details about Koushik and the details given were more than enough to impress any girl around.
Got to know that he was a triplet; rather was pursuing all three CA, ICWA and CS. And had won a few awards in the Institute.
This was all I knew. From the time Tina left there was something that pulled me to him and we got talking. There was this feeling of comfort. And to add to this, 6 hours in a day was a long time. (That is the duration of time we spent in classes)
It was as though I waited to go to class not to attend the lectures, but to spend time yapping away with him. Our chat sessions began with the time in the middle of the lectures and continued with not attending a particular lecture because it was quite boring (not that it seemed so earlier).
Koushik used to come to leave me to the basement every day after classes. So in addition to the talks amongst the whole crowd there was a bit of personal communication too.
There was this one day when koushik did not turn up for class (not that he was very regular … and even if he did come it was not that he was paying attention or was very sincere) somehow the fact that Tina was not there made me instantly go to the STD booth and call him, just to find out that he was just up from his sleep and would be there for the next lecture. The first lecture seemed so boring that day. And the moment Mr Smart turned up it was full of life.
By now the comfort level between us was very good, and also we had known a lot about each other. Something prompted me to tell him everything about myself. By now I had known that he was a tamilian; an Iyengar to be more precise hailed from Gujarat and just to add to all this was in the process of being well qualified too.
One of the days Koushik was not in class and as usual the first thig to do was to call him up. But this time I called him after the morning sessions just to find out that he was still fast asleep. I called him and left for office just to find out that he was there in the next 10 minutes , but alas I had already left. This is what the shopkeeper told me in the evening.
This was the first thing that made me suddenly think why should a guy come immediately when a girl calls him up? Hmm I started wondering if he ahd started liking me…
Now my approach to him had also changed . suddenly there was a shyness , the blushes and the flirtatious talks that we would both have . h yeah and today Is my last day of freedom . nothing much . just that Tina will be back from tomorrow.
