It seems just YESTERDAY

I cannot exactly remember the precise date and time nor the place where I saw her for the first time. All I can remember that it was a fine Sunday, we were throwing up a fresher's bash for our juniors the new entrants into the world of Mighty Mechanical Engineers. My profession is something what I'm proud of.

Moving on, the bash got over by early in evening at around 5pm. The Sun started to set down clearing the down the path for the Moon to illuminate the skies of my hometown with its glitter and also creating a gleam over the quiet beach front which is one of the pride possession's of our city.

I was on my vehicle, a gearless though. That was the one I managed to get after a long sessions of convincing my dad and he finally agreed after we reached a compromise. He refused a geared vehicle straight on and finally I was given a gearless surprise. I was driving along the beach road strech. It was then I came across this girl. She was in a full hand T-shirt, stripes of blue (sky and dark) and black running across her shirt. Her hair was let loose and as far as I could remember she was wearing specs but can't be sure. She was walking with one of her friend's. Some way or the other I wanted to speak to her.

I turned around and took a U-turn and parked my vehicle at some distance and started walking behind them. After some while I finally managed to get some courage and said, "Excuse me,"
First her friend turned around but I pointed towards the one in stripes.
She turned around, God I still remember the first glimpse I got of her, her smooth loose hair falling on her shimmering face, her skin tone gleamy with a toxicating complexion. Gosh! The thing keeps popping out in front of eyes even today. hard to forget.
I sincerely asked her whether we could speak for a couple of mins. and she promplty replied in a positive manner saying yes.
I put forward my hand and told my name. She replied that she was 'Pooja' and we had a gentle handshake.
I have a habit of being out spoken, I appreciate certain things in a more open manner. I'm confessing to fact that I never saw anyone of the opposite gender with a carnal and amourous insight and frankly speaking I didn't see her with that lusty insight. My intentions were good, and this is not a self-appraisal or any sort of self-accolade of how good I am.
Following the hand shake I straight way said that she looked good. I found her good-looking and I complimented her on the fact that she looked good. If at all it had to exggarated then I would say that she looked like an angel.

She stared in a bewildered manner and finally after a couple of secs she said, "Thanks".
We started to part with ways and turned back and finally I told her that she reminded me of my ex-girlfriend, who frankly speaking never existed. I accept the fact that the final words were a lie but the first words were straight from the possible deepest corners of my sole heart. I said the final words so as to create some kind of humour but it was in no way an intention of flirting.

This incident took place nearly eight months back but it seems just yesterday.
