My Crushes on Campus.

I am an absolute All-boys-education-system product. In my town it is still forbidden to ask a girl "If you know this address?", even if she is the only person visible in kilometers to seek help from. Now in such a Aadarsh environment my mom and dad got me into the best boys school in the whole town. You know, the typical all-boy-schoo chap has his first crush on his science teacher, who invariably is a young and charming lady in her 20's. After growing up a little, the neighbours' daughter makes it to the list. But when the neighbour is an Armyman and leaves your community right at the time when the story is about to take an interesting turn ( when the dude has had a few eye contacts and is waiting to break the ice, poor chap ) . Then when the sweet girl in the ice-cream parlour who does'nt mind smiling each time you come at the counter and sometimes even gets you into a conversation on tendulkars century. You feel excited, and even if it takes 30 min drive from your home to have a vanilla cone, you dont mind. But as the tenth board approaches every Majnu has to get his ass on the chair and mind into books(you know, ice-creams are necessary but not as necessary as CBSE boards). When the boards get over, unexpected things happen...the ice-cream parlour runs out of business and you see a garment showroom there; secondly, you are shipped to kota to drill for some stupid entrance exam.

The life settles there also, the dude is doing good. Enjoys cracking problems and baffling teachers with his doubts. He thinks thats hot. By God's grace he has a few girls in his batch, and since the environment demands full focus on studies there is'nt any chance here also. But slowly the dude-with-the-doubts gets famous and techer know him by name. He gets some confidence and takes a big step. He utters to this charming you girl from his batch "when is the physics class today?", Yesssss did it. Filled with joy of achievement and dreams, he is looking forward for the class the next day. He deliberately overtakes the same beautiful girl on the moped, and even takes a seat behind her in the class. With small but significant steps I had managed to achieve an image where the dude could comfortably discuss the test problems with my dream gal. But then something happened, something even Gabbar singh could'nt have done to Thankur and his family.
then our man met this frustoo chap, his PG(paying guest) mate, whose advised he followed to find his dreams blown off. Being as innocent as Koi Mil gaya Hritik ( when it comes to girls) he thought of this chap as the love guru and dug hole for himself. The frustoo told our dude to go for the "Stare like you-dont-know-what-I -want look". Man that was the stupidest thing one could have ever done upon someone's advice( the thing that I have done on my own include likes of riding the bi-cycle with eyes closed! ). But things that are'nt not to happen wud'nt happen.Our Guy's image was going down faster than Sensex. All those dreams of with the charming girl from his batch were like a million miles away. Damn you frustoo chap!!!
But like after every night is followed by a dawn, our chap also had a great time come back to his like. He got selected into IIT Roorkee. The campus was so beautiful that he fell in love with the natural beauty at the first sight (ofcourse he had to first come over from the nightmarish scenes of Roorkee Rly station and clamouring Riksha-walas). The amazingly colorful flowers, the trees ,which were a first ever sighting for our "nature Lover" or "Natural lover" , had cought hold of him for a while. But the dearth of a more-sought-after beautiful form (you know whiat I mean) could not be ignored for long. Here too our boy was lucky. With 4 ,out of 13 in the entire B.Tech ,girls in his batch he had a plenty of material for paying audience to during the boring lectures. Out of the 4 one of the faces was a familier one. It was the same face at which he used to throw (very)frequent and persistent glances during Apex Academy test centers. The presence of the same face was also cherished during the counselling at Bombay. And now this girl was in our buddy's batch.
He himself doesnt know what is his problem. For complete two years he had this crush which was heavier than iridium , on this girl. But still he could'nt speak his heart to her. Our man shold work on improving his self-confidence. While he was just tripping over every possible opportunity to express his feeling, a friend of the dude was accepted as Mr.Right.
But here I am, in the game again. Recently updated my Orkut profile ( took me 6 hours on the 56 kbps net connection to do this) , hoping for all the e-flirting to give some results.
