Love Actually!!! -1

Back to the "Love" post..he he..seems like favorite topic for me these days..After a long tiring day..i didn't had anything else to do but watch a movie. I realized i have my friend's DVD with me. The movie titled "Love Actually". Wasn't sure if i should watch this, i am not much into romantic movies i prefer action movies and can watch back to back anyday..but nothing else seemed more interesting then..so i decided to go with it. I was frankly quite surprised by watching this movie.It was different than those traditional Love stories. Somehow makes you believe in love, which can happen to anyone anywhere and anytime...


Love is different at each stage of life isn't it? It has whole lot of different meaning at each stage of your life. While it is innocent,sweet in teens..gets daring, bold and stylish during college and it matures in a way in early and mid twenties. I will talk about my own experiences in this post and other one or two to follow. This is my perspective which i want to write here. I have seen all the three stages now. First two were though were more of infatuation. Blame it to the age ;) when i look at them now..i share a good laugh.

I won't take names here while i write about it but will use random alphabets for their names. This is the first of 2-3 parts(yeah..not many of them :) but enough to make me write here..)


I had my first real crush when i was in class 10th, it was 1998-1999. I couldn't resist looking at her as soon as she entered our classroom. She was new admission in our batch. Tall, long hair..not much but enough to be perfect, big round eyes :). She was tensed as soon as she entered the classroom. Class teacher asked her to introduce herself. She silently stood up and with hesitant voice introduced herself as A. We could sense she was bit uncomfortable with the new environment around with guys staring at her and girls staring with piercing look as to why the boys are staring :) I was impressed by her charm. Later that day as school was finished and all were busy to catch their buses, i secretly went back to class and then to her desk and wrote "Hi and Welcome" on her bench. Not sure if she ever realized it..but this silly thing was heart driven..i still don't understand why i did that.. he he..

In following days..she was suddenly hot topic for all the guys. Look on girls faces was worth looking. It was not that they were not pretty but suddenly they had new entrant in their kingdom who could dethrone them :) from their years of rule.

Days went by and one saturday i took courage of speaking to her. It was nothing much but asking for her classwork notebook. I remember when i first spoke to her my heart went crazy..i had no idea what did i say to her or what was her response..my mind just went blank..my friends still laugh about it whenever we remember those days. Slowly our friendship grew. We exchanged phone numbers and started talking over the phone..

I was passionate about being a cricketer back in those days and was seriously preparing for school cricket tournament with my team. I was fielding on the boundary in the middle of a hot day, i noticed group of girls near our ground. Suddenly one girl broke the group and came towards me..she was "A", my heart was unstoppable..she came near me and wished me luck for the match. I was on top of the world..i couldn't believe my ears and wanted to rewind that moment again and again..those small but special moments are so important..when you know you have a different feeling for someone..

I couldn't understand this feeling but then i realized i was in "Love". I guess it was more of infatuation then but the feeling was strong. Suddenly i could feel her in all the songs i used to hear. DDLJ songs always topped my list. Boyzone and Backstreet boys were "in" those days. I used to write her name at the back of my notebook..We used to speak for hours daily without a break..I recently learnt how to drive a scooter..most of my rounds were in and around her house which was almost 10kms from my house..but these things didn't matter. My friends convinced me to express my feelings to her. Friends were such a influence those days..

I expressed my feeling almost after 4 months of our friendship over the phone. She asked me to meet behind our school canteen..I was bit surprised and nervous as to why..during our lunch break i promised her to meet there. Since no one was allowed to go there, i sneaked through the back door and was waiting for her..after 20 mins i saw her coming towards me..my heart was pounding..i didn't know what would be her reaction..will she be furious and wont talk to me again? or will she complain to my principal..i had thousands of such questions..Here she came..and...
