A Month Long Affair
Rem'm the old post on Kite? There is soo much that has happened since then!
*It finally flew! Fly it did, high really high! It was such a beautiful sight, one I wont forget for a long long time to come! Oh, you have no idea, how excited I was on that day, after a month long effort, every day taking the kite on the terrace, trying all possible permutations and combinations, waiting for the wind to take it up, running from one corner to another, just trying to fly it!
I wanted the kite to be up there! I just wasn't ready to run down(just few steps) and get the camera! Else I would've put the pics of my successful first ever kite flying
*While flying, my neighbour Shubha (a Bengali stylish girl) joined us! She was as excited as me (she had seen me doing the flying thing for days together!). I let her fly the kite. Well the excitement didn't last for more than hour. It came down, i tried saving it, but it got stuck on a water tank few buildings away from ours. We tried, really hard, to get it back,and then we saw one guy(he was going down!) and screamed "Bhaiya" He heard us! aur phir humne isshaar kar kar ke, told him that the kite was stuck(he went back up) tried,but it was stuck and he had to thodo the dhaag!
Aunty was like "Woh aa ke hume de daga!" Yeah rite! Idiot, aaya hi nahi!
That ended my love affair with the kite! But ain't sad, it was never mine in the first place. It was destiny (the next one will tell you why :) ),and then it was time for it to leave.Time to find a new friend :)
*It was destiny, I found the kite because it had to inspire this someone to write a song.Here is what happened, Shubha goes to gym in the evening(we have one on the terrace).While she was sweating it out, she felt like some one was staring at her from the window next to the tread mill (we kinda have sixth sense, girls just do!) She turned,and she was kinda taken aback, there was this guy on the terrace of the opposite building (There is one really close to ours on this side of the building,so close you easily cross between the two buildings using a wooden plank!) who was looking at her!
She obviously didn't like it.Ignoring him, she continued her run, but he stood right there. really uncomfortable,this time she stopped and gestured him 'what is it?'. he smiled and then
"Hi, were you the girl who was flying the kite some time ago?'She was speechless 'Yes'
"Well I saw you girls,(the other one was me!) flying the kite, I play guitar and sing songs too! I kinda got inspired watching that. I wrote a song. Will you like to hear it?"
O.M.G,she was thrilled and shocked! "Huh!"
"Well, ok" why not? he wrote a song, lets listen to it
"Just give me a sec, i'll get my guitar"
"That's alright, you don't" and before she could complete, he was back with the guitar. LOL, it was all planned, he had it kept it close enough to grab it when the time was right! GUYS!!
Then he played the song. She tells me "I don't rem'm the lyrics, but it was about the kite flying high, kissing the sky and something like that. He played it really well!"
She complimented him.They exchanged few words, name,work, and who is that girl in shorts flying the kite with her and she told him "You complete the song, and then I'll get that other one too!" he he he.She ran down and first thing she did was ring the bell
"Hey, guess what happened just now?"
"What?" Its 9.30pm, this better be good :)
I swear I was laughing so loud that my roomy had to close her door (she is prep'ing for GMAT) Aunty was baffled.
Shubha was elated, a typical movie scene, rain is drizzling, a guy on terrace,holding a guitar playing a song, while the lady is standing on the opposite end.It was soo sweet.
Think about it, who in the world would've thought that while we were flying the kite, there was this someone getting inspired!
Like I said,it was with me for a reason, and when the purpose was served, it flew away :).
So ended my month long affair, leaving behind sweet memories, one that my li'll ones (whenever that is) will hear as their bed time stories :)
