***ADMISSION***......

I had passed my board with flying colours and was now looking for a college which suited my pride. To talk about myself, I am handsome, smart, and definitely have a charismatic personality. Another fact is that all this is only said and believed by my dear mother. As a matter of fact, I am a brown Indian with an introvert nature. My name is Ramchandra Chauhan who belongs to a middle-class family, lower middle class to be more precise.

I was born and brought up in Delhi, thus did ' t wish to go to another city to study further I took admissions in IMS, Delhi in the year 2008 and took up mass communication as my subject which was a bit trendy and popular those days. I have always dreamt of having a “ PRESS ” sticker in my vehicle! Gosh !! Did mass communication for a press sticker !! College officials alleged that it was amongst top 5 institutes of Delhi but Google denied that fact. God knows who was right? I trusted Google personally. After finishing all my paperwork, our college began on the 16th of august, 2008. I received a letter about the timings and the rules and regulations which nobody followed. | was late on the very first day. We were asked to reach college by 10. 00 am sharp and I reached a bit late at 11: 15 am!! | was expecting a harsh teacher at the class who would shout at me for my bad behaviour but nothing happened as such. I was expecting everyone to look at me outrageously and look surprised, but it was the way round, | was surprised because hardly anyone noticed that Ramchandra was at the gate. It was humiliating but I know I was ' t Shahrukh Khan so excused them . . .

**COLLEGE DAYS**...........

College days The so-called top institute lacked top teachers. The days were getting atrocious and I had almost decided to leave this top institute . . . Date: 10 / 10 / 2008 - a nice breezy morning with a cool wind, the nature looked fresh and clean. I quickly had my daily routine and went to college. I was as usual 30 minutes late, so I was literally running now and as soon as I opened the door to seek permission for entry, I was speechless. There was a goddess in front of me ! !! To be more precise, I could ' t move my eyes for more than 2 minutes off from the goddess. She was gorgeous. She was telling something to the class, but I being numb at that time was ' table to hear or see anything except her like an idiot. She had curly hair with straight blond highlights. She also had a tattoo on her back which was half visible. I guess it was the Gayatri Mantra. As I moved into the class without asking my teacher, I was punished and was asked to leave the classroom the very second minute . . . You know, disrespecting a lecturer in front of a new student. Though it was unintended, I got hypnotized because of her beauty and later found out from my friends that she was our classmate and had joined late as she was ' t well. Her name was Tani Sharma . . . To be honest I was attracted to her on the first sight! !. With her thoughts lingering in my mind, I returned home and changed my mind to leave IMS as I had a valid reason now . . . . I swear, she was damn beautiful . . . | could ' t sleep that night and only prayed that to get a chance to talk to her by any means the next day. I was feeling drowsy at the class because of Tani ' s hangover the last night; | somehow managed to gage the back seat of Tani. Tried my level best to introduce myself to her but failed almost

in every attempt . . . . Remember I am introvert but I listened

to her the entire day . . . What a lovely voice she had !! It was like Lata Mangeshkar singing in front of me. Classes ended and I saw her going in her BMW - X5. Seriously, she was rich, classy, beautiful and had an attractive body. But it was only a wish to have her as my girlfriend because nothing matched, neither status nor looks. She was an angel and I was a beast . . . just kidding . . . I was a human who dreamt of PRESS

stickers after all...

**I FELL IN LOVE**...

Days passed by and we were at the end of the first year. Exams were near and for

me, she was the only one I kept thinking about. Exams went out like a storm for me

as I was not at all prepared for it. The classes passed by staring at her and I had

no idea what the lecturers were shouting in the classroom. The first semester ended and I hadn't spoken to her even for once and it was killing me from inside. We had a break for one week after exams which proved out to be disastrous for me because I started missing her. I often question myself that was it love or just attraction? This question kept me busy for the next few days and finally, the day came when our 2 years began.

I reached college before time (for the very first time in my life) just to see her but was unable to find her. I went to the class and sat where she used to sit during the first year. I waited and kept

waiting the whole day but, she didn't come to college that day. Rather she didn't come to college for the next day as well. I was getting into depression each day and wished to see her for once. I never realized when she became a drug for me. It was only "her" I needed at that moment.

The third day, I was out of control. I directly went to her friends and enquired about her. They do give me a weird look but I got my answer as well which was more important than those looks. as well. She had gone to Nainital for a vacation and was about to join college next week. I collected all the love songs and started imagining Tani with me. I somehow managed to pass those days. It was Monday and again I went to college before time. As I was entering college, someone shouted from the back.

"Ramchandra"

I looked back, it was Tani!! I was on the 9th cloud. The girl whom I always wanted to talk to have herself called my name.

"Yes " "Why were you enquiring about me?" I had goosebumps at that time and a feeling of fear aroused in me!!

"You weren't in the class for many days SO..." 1 am watching you from the day 1, what do you want or think about me, please stop thinking or doing whatever you are doing right now"

"But I didn't do anything" "If you haven't done anything its good for you, don't even come near me, you moron "

"Ok" was shocked and had no idea what happened in those 10-15 minutes.

The only thing I knew was she said that I was a moron! I went back home and collected as much as sad ghazals I could and shed some tears and made up my mind to forget her. I haven't been to college the next day as was very depressed and heartbroken since my love story ended even before getting started.

I'm SORRY

I was totally shattered after that day and was planning to leave college soon again. I rarely went to college because I wasn't having the courage to face her. I guess it was 16 of March (maybe) when received a call from an unknown

the number which actually was not. I was fast asleep after having lunch when I received this call. "Hello" "Hello is this ram "Yes, who are you?" "Tani here Those two words were enough for me to get up and sit back straight. "Why are you not coming to college "l am not well! " "But I saw you yesterday in the market" "I.......

"Come to college tomorrow, I want to talk to you!" "ya ...ya sure" "Ok bye then, see you tomorrow" "Bye" And I fell down from bed! That day I groomed my hair and trimmed my beard. It had grown too big (1 was acting like a true magnum those days)!! The next day I went to the college sharp at 10:00 am and you won't believe it, she was waiting for me. "Where have you been?" I was struck in jam" "Not today, you fool, I am talking about other days" "1 am sorry for that day, I was in a very bad mood and it all went against you!! I didn't mean it that way The only thing I could say was, "it's ok".......Oh, God!! It's ok!! It wasn't ok at all. A series of a flashback of past 38 days went through my mind. "So...friends??" "Yes...sure" "Let's go or else ma'am will scold us.." She went in, I stood out of class for the next 10-15 minutes, and kept thinking, whether it was a dream or does that actually happened. 

I was pushed to the classroom by my teacher as| was almost unconscious with no idea what was happening in the world. After one class she set beside me and started pinching me. I swear, even if she would have slapped me, I wouldn't have stopped her. "So did you forgive me?" "Yes!" "So, now we are friends where shall we meet in the evening? "Aa....where..." "Let's meet in the evening and decide, what say?" "Okay, as you say" 1 will pick you up from Vaishali, ok?" "Okay" was shocked to know the fact that we were about to meet again in the evening. The girl with whom I have only spoken twice is going to hang out with me in the evening. ..wow...... was the feeling... I was excited but a bit frightened since all that was happening with lightning speed. I went home walking, thinking about her. I couldn't sleep that afternoon and prepared myself for the evening. I was dressed in a black shirt, blue jeans and a black blazer (the college's one). She came with her grand BMW-X5, it was beautiful and big. 

My eyes moved from x-5 to Tani, she was dressed in a white dress, one piece to be more specific. I can't tell you how stunning she was looking for. She had curls in her hair, which made her look sexier. "You look beautiful" "1 know, come on in " "Where are we going "Pacific Disc" "1 don't drink or dance " "Ok watch me do that, come on getting inside, we are already late " I got in the car and we went to the grand pacific disc. I was expecting more friends to come but it was only me and Tani.
