My Date with a Future Indian Cricket Team Star- Part II

I sighed inwardly and continued gazing outside the window. The plane took off. 15 mins passed by and the guy continued whispering with the sardar. Finally,he stopped talking. I turned and saw that he had fallen asleep! :-(( Mummy...I was getting restless (P.S-I'm always restless.Arien,you see) He suddenly got up and our eyes met for some seconds. Taking advantage of the situation, I asked him whether he was from some cricket team.And that's how...we started talking...
Mr.Right-Yeah,I'm from the Punjab U-19 team which played against Gujarat yesterday in the finals...
Me,cutting him off,excitedly- Ooh, yesterday was the finals...which Gujarat won? (I thank my eyes for hurriedly seeing the grinning pic of the victorious Gujarat team on front page of Times of India,that day)
Trust me to be so insensitive.
Mr.Right giving me a hurt look, then giving a sad smile-Yeah..The Vinoo Mankad Trophy Cup..We lost to Gujarat.
Me,realizing I have to be sensitive- Oh okay...
He asked me what I was doing and why I was going to Delhi. (Supreme Court!!Law!!! Badiya ji...:-O :-D were his reactions)
Both of us took turns in, "Enough about me, let's talk about you."I won the battle as I forced him to talk about the match,cricket in general and himself,in general.
"You like Rahul Dravid??"he exclaimed."That slow coach, that something something" he kept blabbering.He adored Yuvraj Singh,it seemed. Duh. Punjab partiality !!!
Coming back to the match. it turned out they had only 210 or something like that to chase in 50 overs and they messed it up really badly by playing overconfidently. "You should have played smartly like Dravid instead of playing loose shots like Yuvraj" I remarked in a dry tone. "Yeah...I'll keep that in mind the next time I play",he said smiling yet another wow
smile.
The God dammed pilot announced that we were going to land in Delhi half an hour before time.Dammit.Lost precious 30 mins.Please please let the plane get hijacked....
Mr.Right asked me if I was from Gujarat. I said, I'm from Chennai and Mumbai and living in Gujarat. Sir laughed and said, "Maharashtra didn't even reach the semis." "So what?" I countered. "You lost to Gujarat".I taunted. I wanted to stick out my tongue too,lol. Then he raised his eyebrows and said, "Now, I promise you,we won't ever lose to Gujarat again. Just
watch out next season." So sweet,lol. He told me the itinerary of the next season then.
5 mins to land. There was an awkward pause between us. A cutie ahead was talking to Mr.Right so I pretended to be interested in looking outside the window again.Suddenly,
Mr.Right says,"Madhuri.."
Me,eyebrows shooting up-"What?"
Mr.Right-"Can I have your number?"
Now.Why was he Mr.Right?He was 6'2 or more than that,fair,athletic build,obviously a sports freak,a wow smile,educated(in the process, at least), spoke decent English, talked to me despite his coach's glares, and ignored his team mates who were catcalling and trying their level
best to get us to stop talking (Boys,I tell you. When will they grow up...)
But still. I said no.My stupid ethics and morals and principles and whatever came in the way. I wonder what would have happened if I had given my number....He asked me again thrice. Despite my nasty "Noooo"s, he was still sweet and nice to me.We had landed and I was struggling with my purse and laptop's weight on my shoulders.His team mates shamelessly gave me a huge grin.Stupid boys.He towered behind me and we didn't say a word, even when we got into the bus. Finally, when we were getting down, he opened his mouth to talk to me. His team mates crowded behind me pretending they aren't around.(I mean!!! What the heck!!!) The coach was giving Mr.Right the dirtiest look ever.Mr.Right simply told me it was nice meeting me and wished me all the best. Awww. I wished him back and told him to kick Gujarat's ass the next
time.
And that was the last time he smiled that wow smile at me.
I look at the progress of the Punjab team now, in the Ranji Trophy Super League.They haven't reached the quarter finals,it seems.Lost to Mumbai :-P
P.s- I have not written his real name, for reasons unknown to even me.... :-P
P.P.S- To all those curious souls who are shocked at my mom reading my blog: Yes, she already knows about this incident and it was she who suggested this incident as a blog post and
the title of this post :-D
P.P.P.S- He is truly Mr. Right :-((( Till I meet the next one,that is... :-P
P.P.P.P.S-I know this post is way too long. I already edited it about a zillion times. That's why I was delayed in posting this up. Inconvenience for all you curious souls is regretted :-P
P.P.P.P.P.S- I took his autograph,when we just landed. He was sooo happy :-) He asked me not to forget him ever :-P Trust me dude, I won't...

My Date with a Future Indian Cricket Team Star- Part I

Flights are the last place where you would think you would meet the man of your dreams. At least I never thought I would meet a candidate for my Mr.Right position. I usually meet middle aged, sex hungry looking men and women who yell in a shrieking tone 24*7 whenever I travel
by train or plane. All of us check the list of co-passengers while travelling by train and see the age and sex section specially, don't we?

I was going to Delhi for my internship.This was my 2nd journey by flight when I was travelling a-l-o-n-e. Alone meant:
1)No parents watchful eyes on your every move. Even if you wanted to go to the loo, our parents would give us dark looks as if we were going to have sex in the loo.
2)Freedom to eat whatever we want, that is even the most horrible looking food,freedom to stare at whoever we want.Freedom in general.

The disadvantage was that I couldn't use the loo whenever I wanted since I had my luggage to take care of.After controlling for an hour, I had to ask a helper in the airport to keep a watch over my luggage for a minute.That @Q$!@%$% smirked slyly when I came back.Gah.

I noticed a group of boys sitting with what looked like 15-20 cricket kits near the check-in counter.I ignored them since I noticed through the corner of my eye that my mom was still eyeing me through the glass doors.After check-in,and after getting my boarding pass I noticed all of them clambering into my bus (!!!) Whoopie!I tried all my tricks of watching through the corner of eye to see where they were from. It all failed.

Finally,I was seated.2 seats empty next to me.Lalala.Ek ke saath ek free,it seemed.2 sardars from that team came next to me.Grump.I have nothing against sardars but they were just okay looking.I turned back and caught one guy's eyes.And later caught many guy's eyes.

This looked too desperate.I turned back and pretended to be very interested in looking outside the window at a guy who was talking on a walkie talkie. I heard some shifting next to me. Ooooh. The sardar next to me had got up and the guy who's eyes had met mine the first time, sat down in his place. I looked away from him and continued looking outside,barely concealing my huge grin. I turned to wear my seatbelt.I couldn't find it :- I told the guy next to me in an icy tone that it was my seatbelt he was wearing. He gave me a W-T-F-is-wrong-with-you look and stuck his hand in between our seats and brought out my seatbelt. Errr.I tried to grin but was unsuccessful. Sir himself wasn't too pleased. He looked away and kept whispering with the other sardar.

So far so really bad. What happens next? Did we start talking? Watch this space for more...
P.S.- This is a true-life incident.I kid you not.

Men suck....But can we live without them?

This post is in reply to Peter's recent post against generalization by girls when we call all men as pervets, assholes, so on and so forth. I'm one of those staunch bloggers who keep doing the same. Call them pigs, call them stupid egoistic brats, I can go on.

The post, and a serious discussion with Peter on this topic made me realize I was wrong in doing that. But I cannot help it. Like men generalize and say girls are emotional fools, shopping freaks, et al.  

I had a talk with my friend about this last night. We decided to think about one good quality that most guys have. We thought for 44 minutes, followed by another discussion after court the next day and.....

We came up with the eight characteristics about guys...Which makes them guys :-|

1) Men are too chilled out. Won't take care of their room mates and sit with them when they aren't well, like we girls do. A tsunami can't stop them from playing that zillionth counter strike game of the day at 4 in the morning with an end semester exam the next day. 

2) Guys always make the first attempt making the girl's life much easier. The ball being in her court, u see ;-) 

3) When a girl passes by, a guy will end up noticing her face, and if he liked the face, then he moves downwards and moves upwards again. Stares again. Chapter over. 

When a girl passes by, a girl will notice her hair, accessories on hair, face features, face make up, clothes, other accessories like earrings,necklace, ring(if it's possible to see in those few minutes when she passes by her), her purse/bag/books/whatever she's carrying, then finally her shoes. And if her nail paint is visible, then that too :D 

It's fun freaking boys out by noticing so much and discussing about it with them, isn't it? =)

4) Can they sound any sexier when they are asleep and you hear their half sleepy voice? I think not! :-)

5) They have a good sense of direction. Won't ask anyone for help, but will circle around lanes a zillion times but yes, in the end they get you to your destination. That is, if we shut up and don't stand in their way=)

6) Can act like real babies and stubborn and create a fuss over nothing. Call us drama queens, but they are no less!! :-| 

7) The presence of a guy makes a girl feel really secure. Not claiming that girls cannot be independant and cannot protect herself. His presence makes her feel confident. Like a feel good factor =)

8) They are good at gadgets. A technician cum electronician cum plumber at our disposal :D

They might not have a single romantic bone in their bodies. They might choose computer games over you. They might love the car,booze more than you.

But Eve settled for Adam, didn't she?

DISCLAIMER:- I have written the above mentioned things noticing other guys and listening to the dramatic experiences of my friends. Have to mention this since my mom reads my blog and she will wonder what I'm upto in college ;-) 

Not that this disclaimer will work. She'll still ask me what I'm upto in college =))
