Pragati's POV :
I'm physically present in the lecture but my mind is wondering somewhere else. I think this happens with everyone, all the time or am I exceptional. Well never mind. Don't know but right now I'm just waiting for this lecture to end which is really going at painfully slow speed.
Well you must be waiting to know who am I or must have started guessing game. Am I right? I know you surely has because I'm always right and good at identifying the people what they think and what they want.
Ok. Ok. I will stop with my self cockiness. So here I go with answers of all your questions.
Hello everyone, I'm Pragati Mehra, 21 years old, already at my last year of college. I think you must have guessed before only with me being in lecture that I'm a student. I know you are smart, see told you before, I know what everyone thinks ;-). Well I'm not a straight A+ student but I'm always among the list of toppers. Pretty much cool and smart. Right? I know sometimes I use my brain too.
You must be wondering or wanted to know by now especially after knowing my age that I'm already having boyfriend or not. Well let's accept it I'm not going to settle for anything less and I hadn't meet anyone for whom I could fall head over heels. Not yet atleast but hope to meet someone special soon. I don't know why but I couldn't feel attracted to any boys over here. Not only for boys of college but for each and every boy around me. Nup, stop there don't misuse your brain cells in thinking please. I'm straight, not at all lesbian if you are wondering that. There is nothing wrong in being lesbian but I don't have that type of feelings for girls too. I guess I just hadn't meet right person yet. That's all.
And I'm ok with it. I like it that way. I have peace in my life. I doesn't have to cry or face windwhirls of emotions because of anyone. And most important thing I have all the time in world to do my fangirling things. Yyaaayyyiiieeee... Let me tell you I'm big and diehard fan of BTS....... Yeah.... I love all 7 of them, with all my heart. I really do. I wouldn't go in detail about them. Not for now atleast, because if I will start talking about them it is impossible to stop or ever end my rantings about them. So Let's save it for later.
Well moving ahead. I'm from science stream doing my graduation in science from Pune University. I wanted to become biology professor. I'm living in Mumbai for doing my college, far away from my parents and siblings. I miss them, trust me I really do but I like being here far from them. No offense. They are loving and caring but sometimes we need to get a life too. So that's what I'm doing over here in Mumbai. I am trying to be independent, responsible and most importantly enjoy my life and trying to fulfill my dream. And so far I'm successful in doing so.
I work at near by coaching classes daily and on weekends I do part time work here and there so that I could pay my rent and all other expenses. Oh yes I'm living in rented apartment because I don't want to deal with this hostel drama and policies and on plus point it's near my college and coaching classes that means I don't have to deal with Mumbai's traffic. Trust me that was the last thing you want to deal with everyday for hours. You know how hostel's work like I couldn't stay outside late night plus many more headaches. Yeah I know that is too much to handle. My apartment does not have any luxury things as others but it is one bhk with decent furniture and every required facilities. As for college fees I got scholarship with my marks and scores. All in all I'm handling all my expenses on my earnings pretty much easily with out any problems till now. It's really tiring to work and study at the same time especially when you are from science stream. I stay awake for like 19 hours a day and get sleep of 4 or 5 hours barely. But I'm not complaining if I get to do and become what I want. To gain something we have to lose something. Right?
Oh I forgot to tell you how I look. Well I have fair color skin with brown eyes and brown hairs. Actually I recently coloured them brown my original hair color was black like most of the Indians have. I don't have zero figure or slim body but I'm not fat too. You can say I'm curvy. I don't like heavy makeup and never do that. I like to keep my face natural with little makeup like eyeliner, kajal and lipbam or sometimes lipstick too.
Tttrrriinngggg (sound of bell rang)
And here after such a long and painful hour bell rang and my day at college ends. It's time to go at coaching classes.
Pragati's POV :
You know BTS ???? Yeah... I'm talking about that 7 wonderful boys band who stole everyone's heart. Like other's you must be thinking I like them because of their look. Right?
Naah.... I hadn't even seen them first. So here I go. (Get some pop corn to entertain yourself)
Flashback
Before more than 2 years ago
One fine Evening I was checking the post of everyone as usual. Because when I don't have anything to do or is getting bored I go on Insta and do time pass. That app is really amazing I'm telling you, mark my words. When I was scrolling I get to hear few seconds part of a song. And that part actually left me curious to know that song's name and who sing it. Since I heard their voice I fell in love with them. I hadn't even seen them but still I fell for their voice. As me being me I went to Google and searched what ever little bit word I understood. There I came to know the song name is 'BST' (Blood Sweat and Tears) and that song is sang by the one and only BTS. Immediately without wasting anytime I went on YouTube, heard and seen their full song and trust me when I say that song left me mesmerized. I couldn't even think anything properly after that. That song immediately become at repeat mode on my phone.
End of flashback
Since that day till now their all songs are on repeat mode in my phone. As you can see I had heard their voice first not seen their face. But it would be lie if I say I wasn't curious about them after seeing them because damn how can't I when they look so hot, handsome and cute at the same time. I just wanted to know their names in the beginning, somewhere my brain even warned me not to but as you know 'Curiosity kills the cat'. Exactly that happen with me it started just with their names and little by little I fall in the pit. After that there is no going back for me and trust me when I say I'm not at all complaining or regretting anything.
Initially I was confused a little bit among them because one or another way they looked same but as time passes by I can identify them easily. Now even if you show me any part like eyes, lips, nose, etc of anyone of them then also I can identify whom it belongs to. I was just curious to know their names in beginning but ended up being their fan or you can say 'ARMY'. It's not like I don't listen or like other singer's songs. I even listen songs of other k-pop group and many other Singer's, though I don't know why but BTS's songs gives me different feelings. Like they make my heart light and float in air. They can make me laugh when I'm in the mood where I can't even smile. I don't know or wanted to understand anything, I just know that they are precious to me and my heart.
Well, as for right now I'm seating with my best friend, Kashi. She is not an ARMY but she adores them because how one can not.... partially because of me too I know she doesn't want to lose me. She knows better not to provoke me. She doesn't live with me, She lives in hostel but crashes out here whenever she feels like to. And trust me it's too often. It's not like I'm complaining. Am I?
We are having dinner at my place with lots of chitchat and munching. She is my friend since I moved to Mumbai or you could say she is the first friend I made here. Since then she become my best friend and we share everything with each other even our family matters.
"Hey" Kashi exclaimed as I took a bite from her samosa.
"What?" I asked innocently.
"How could you? It's illegal" Kashi exclaimed showing facade irritation but I know her better. She is smirking in her mind.
"I am a good girl. What are you talking about. I hadn't done anything illegal..... Not until yet" I said giving her sweet smile holding my laughter inside.
"You can't eat my food. Food is not to share with anyone. I love it. Its my bae. Specially Samosa. You know how I feel about them and you still dare to took a bite. I'm officially offended." She huffed by crossing her hands ahead and here goes my every try in vent to hold back my laughter. I started laughing hard by clenching my stomach.
She tried to look provoked by I had seen small smile creeping on her face.
"Hahaha... Are you real. I still didn't understand how we are best friends"
"Because I love you too. Not as much as food but yeah I do"
"Aaww. I love you too"
We hugged each other and finished our dinner and then went for our girls sleep over.
So friends, this is me and my life.
Welcome to my world
Pragati's POV:
My life was going in same routine. Wake up early in morning, go for run at near by park or do exercise at home (which half of the time I skip because I feel lazy and then end up sleeping), then I make and eat my breakfast, go to college, attend long and boring classes.
Obviously along with Kashi without her I don't know how I will be awake in the class most of the time, as she is the chatter box she can never keep her mouth close even in serious times, I don't even know what secret thing this girl eats to be this energetic for whole day. She will meet stranger and start talking like they are long lost friends or family member on the other end I took time to talk and feel comfortable with strangers. It's not like I have any switch which I will ON and can start making conversation with stranger. If you know there is any then recommend me please. But yes once I get familiar with someone then they couldn't shut my mouth. I talk too much with them.
I do my lunch at college break sometimes in canteen and sometimes outside. As the day ends at college I have to go to coaching classes. After that either I come back home and start studying or tag along with Kashi to places for chilling. Have my dinner and go to sleep.
If you are wondering when I use my phone then I use my phone all the time. In class, while eating (I know it's not healthy but I enjoy it so I do that) and for the whole day. My phone is my bae along with food of course.
This is my normal life routine nothing changes on usual basic.
So far Today is no different as usual like everyday, I went to my college. I parked my bike in the parking lot but something is unusual today. There is a lot of gossip and whisper today. Few are happily jumping with joy. All in all its too lively today. As soon as I reached main corridor of college Kashi came running to me as if waiting there long for me only.
"Hey there, for what you are hurrying so much. Is there fire on your back or something" I commented as soon as she came near.
"You wouldn't believe if I will tell you this"
"Anyways I never believe in whatever you say. So whatever" I pretended walking ahead for class because I know she couldn't hide anything from me. Her stomach couldn't hold anything. So eventually she will tell me. Besides that what kind of friend I would be if I didn't tease and annoy her. Which I do all the time. Hehe I know I'm bad.
"Guess what" she cheered too excitedly.
"I can't, unless you tell me. So shot now"
"Once I tell you, you are going to be crazy"
"Then don't tell me, I don't want to be crazy. I'm ok with whatever I'm now"
"Aren't you already" she said smirking.
"Are you going to tell me already or should I leave you here to go and recover from your little episode till you calm down"
"BTS is going to do a concert here"
I become too shock to say anything and didn't even know what to say. God, I couldn't even believe it. Is she trying to prank me. She become silent to see my reaction. I know my face would be like a monkey with eyes pop out. But I couldn't care about it atleast for not now.
"Yes, one of there concert is here in Mumbai. And guess what as our college is best and reputated college among all others with a lot of space, so they has selected our college for doing concert"
"...." I still couldn't say anything but jumping like crazy in my mind. It's like I got hit with whole wind whirl of emotions.
"Our college posted that in notice board and even big hit declared the date and venue in their post and schedule"
Without saying anything I just took out my phone and as soon as I opened it the post came in my view. It is true. They are going to do concert, their first concert in India and out of all it is in our college.
