A TOUCH to remember...

Back after a strenuous mid semester examination Pingu’s page is hungry for some more gossip… For a change there are no disclaimers…Or may be just one at the end!

Prelude:

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a 

listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all
of which have the potential to turn a life around."
Leo Buscagliga..( I have no idea who he is!)

Based on a true story as told to me by my very good friend…

A scene right from a movie:

“Excuse me, what’s the time?”, she TOUCHED him and asked.

Too busy in his dream world the hero of the tale could not reply her.

She repeated yet again, “Time yeshtu?”

“Ahh…6.25am…….

I mean 6.25 pm..

I mean 18.25!”, he said.

And a drop sweat rolled down in a matter of milliseconds.

There are these moments when you experience zero gravity with the faintest stimulus of touch. The laminar flow of blood in the veins seizes leading to a chaotic and turbulent blood gushing in out of your heart. Vibrations so loud that the brain senses the discomfort. The hair over your body stands tall with respect for the touch a state which we call Goosebumps. The nose forgets its primary function to breathe and instead fills the lungs with her perfume.

You tend to wonder what the physicists mean when they say that coefficient of friction can never be zero! (Yes her skin was smoothJ)

All these while when you wondered why do girls spend so much money on waxing in parlours..

And what does Katrina mean when she shows the victory sign in the Veet advertisement.

And how much your mom tells you to bath every day when at hostel.

And how much you regret for not looking into the mirror for the past one month..

All this flashes in those few seconds when the act of touching is being performed by her highness.

My friend told me she looked like Deepika Padukone( that’s because she is my favourite heroine and he wanted to keep me interested!)

A wise man once said ( that would be me;)), “There are only two kinds of girls in this world.

The ones who are within your reach and the ones who aren’t!”

This chick as I feel was well out of our reach. Was it just a coincident that she didn’t wear a wrist watch? Was her IQ so low that it did not strike her to check her mobile?

( no she wasn’t a blonde J) Was he the only person she found to ask the time in the entire mall? (Yeah it was in a mall)

Did she fall for the NITK t-shirt? (I gave off yet another clue about the person’s identity! )

Discussions were hot in the hostel. Such an irony when people spent hours on a 2 second incident. In the end it was concluded that this phenomena could only be explained by the new deodorant in the stores…

As they say it. THE AXE EFFECT…

Deo or no deo, but my friend still has her aura in his mind. His first contact with the higher order feminine species after a long time. It may be a unnoticed event in the girl’s calendar but he could never forget those few blissful seconds with her highness.

Disclaimer: Some great poet has once said( this time its not me!), that You come alone in this world and you go alone. You don’t have any good friends, YOU ARE YOUR ONLY BEST FRIEND!

No prize for guessing who plays the lead character in this tale! ;)

And the page gets a break…
