As usual I keep myself busy with my facebook friends,who knows where and when you would come across your forgotten near ones.
Perhaps,I did came across one such moment of my life,which left me breathless and I was transfixed to meet someone who I had totally forgotten.
In fact we are so busy in our own life,that on its journey we leave behind many people who were at times very especial to us.Or they made us feel especial about ourselves.
And the flashback of my story dates back when i was studying my 12th std.
And as a customary affair every student have to take farewell and move ahead leaving all their good friends and memories behind there in your alma mater.Those days i came across one girl by name 'pooja' she was from very typical Indian family,though she had some sort of liberty to attend college but her family was quite over-possessive about her.As she was from maharashtrian background she was well principled and disciplined too.
One day she herself gave me one hint that signified me of her deep love,but her fate was that,I couldn't say 'yes'to her proposal.As I was committed to some other girl,who in fact went ahead after few span of years.As the time went by our farewell came,A day in every students life where they are drowned into emotions and tears saying goodbye to their college & teachers.
Some of them even maintained a diary called 'AUTO BOOK' where in they would tell their friends,classmates and especial people of their lives to write something in there.
Apart from studying and preparing for my final exams,I had one more workload of completing this auto books of my friends.
Thence pooja came towards me,and said " Abhi you have been a very especial person to me,so I want you to create something especial in this book".
Which in the long run I must not forget this day of our life.
She caught hold of my right hand and applied ink on my palm and told me to put the impression over the page.
Writing this words as the title of the page as to make it such memorable.
' YOU CAN'T FEEL ME',
BUT I AM THERE
Send off was done,life went far and years just passed like that.
And now that I am a author,and after almost 18 years someone with the unknown identity waved me over the facebook,at the first instance I thought of ignoring it,but still I checked the inbox, there was no response and suddenly I got one more notification over my home screen of the mobile.
And when I checked I saw that page,but couldn't recollect and after a timing of minutes suddenly everything I came to recollect.And I just typed there 'pooja' then she just send me a smiley.
There we started knowing each others life story,for a fraction of few minutes I felt as if I should take her in my arms,I just got up from the place I was sitting,in a bit of that excitement I just went on asking her questions over the questions while forgetting to ask her to share her mobile number.
I felt as if I met someone who I had lost and left behind in the past.
But Now she was married and mother of two kids,she said she got someone who loved her,and mean it deeply.
She is happy.
But again I was struggling in my life with many worries and stress to get settled.
Now I still feel ' I wish I could reverse the wheel of time and I wish we could ever meet again.
Thanks to facebook!
