What will you rather prefer? A date with someone special, in a quiet place with lots to eat, drink and gossip or An evening with a special friend where you end up doing something totally crazy in front of strangers just for the heck of it. I would most definitely choose the latter as it has more fun, adventure and is more childish. What made me ponder on this question was an incident that happened to me this week end and this is how it goes……
It was a rather cloudy Saturday evening and I was relaxing on my favorite bean bag with a cup-o-coffee. A dear friend of mine calls me up and tells me that she is sitting at CCD for some official work and if I wanted to, I could join her for a cup-o-coffee. Its bit hard to put in words the personality of this friend of mine, but I shall try my best. Her actual name means a ‘shining jewel ‘(to some extent it quantifies her as well) we call her “now” (that’s her nick name). She thinks it’s difficult to decipher her (quite contrary to reality but I prefer her to be like that) and coming to the matter of looks, she thinks she is ‘pretty presentable’ (I don’t have anymore comments on that ;-)). Oh ya and both of us are totally crazy about music and dance..
We were sitting on the first floor of CCD, talking when it happened. In the jukebox they played the song from the latest bollywood flick……” Kabhi Kabhi Aditi zindagi mein youn hi koi apna lagta hai……..” I was dancing in my mind and am pretty sure she was too. I looked into her eyes and at that instant knew she wanted to dance. There was a little bit of space behind the table we were sitting. It took me sometime to convince her to dance here but as fate might have it by the time she agreed….the song ended…. God has this habit of teasing us and that’s what I love abt him.
Anyways after a couple of minutes I went to the counter and asked the waiter to play the same song again. To my delight he agreed. In a couple of minutes the song was on again. She did not expect this but am sure was happy that the song did come on again. Now I asked her for a dance and though hesitantly she agreed. As soon as we took to the floor all I could hear was her heart beat and all I could see were here eyes. Rest everything dissolved. Then we started dancing. We did it for some 30 sec and then went back to our seats. Fortunately no one paid much attention. Though relieved, I was a bit disappointed that no one noticed. But as I said God has a funny way of teasing his creation…..
After a couple of minutes, a waiter came to us said that they would like us to do the dance once again. This time though they made a formal announcement about the same. This time we danced till the song ended and we did get a shower of applause. What we did not know was that our whole performance was video- taped and photographed. As a token of love the ppl at CCD presented us with a photo-frame. But I had got more that what I had bargained for. From a lousy Saturday evening to a really memorable moment that was the gift I got.
Some times, as I said earlier God has a funny way of telling people that he cares. Its we, who fail to see the message. The most beautiful part of the whole experience was that it was spontaneous, nothing was planned and there were no expectations. So all I have to say is “ Go out do something crazy….and let God show u how much he cares…..Trust me You Wont be disappointed….” What say “Now” ( I can already see u smiling. Hope u cud have given the same smile for the pic we took)….
