to be (a fool) or not to be...


It was sometime back, when I came to know this guy called Shujoy. He had wanted someone after so long; after what seemed to him like ages...and well, one and a half years is definitely not a short span of time. after all we aren't historians, you see...

the question is, was he wrong?was this unjustified? well, different people might think different ways and to each his own. dash it all, there ain’t an answer for every goddamn thing on earth.

it all began on that chilly afternoon at momo's point(a popular student's hangout),when he saw her...and he wanted her. he just felt that she could drag him out of the shit he was crawling in…and bring him out clean. he doesn’t know her name, what she does, where she stays…in short, he doesn’t have the slightest damn clue about her. just that he happened to see her at an eating joint. he visited the place twice after that with absolutely no darned work to do, just to pursue the dream he had dreamt. Tens and thousands of girls – cute ones, ugly ones, fat ones, slim ones, he suffered them all…but that dream just remained a dream…

I sometimes hear them say, life gives you just one chance – grab it or leave it. well as for the one 'chance' all he could do was to curse himself that why on earth didn’t he go up to her that day? But hey,before i hear you guys say, "jackass", lets hear him out. you see, the thing is, she was gone...and yeah...it happened just like that…within a second. One moment he saw her right there and the very next moment she’s gone. Was that a fair chance?

I don’t know if at all this is possible…after all life isn’t a cliched bollywood flick. And reality hurts…hell, he knows that, doesn’t he? But yet, knowing and being fully aware of all this, he still wants her, by some miracle…by some goddamn miracle. Are all his ideas about love so false…so wrong, so bloody screwed up?

hah, now the question is, do we care?i mean, beat this fellas,the jerk went to the same restaurant twice after that for abolutely NO work...and mind you, he didnt go there to HOG...I mean, how silly can a person be??what does he have instead of a brain?something filled with rosy, romantic thoughts?did he seriously think even for a moment that he would see her?one face amidst the teeming , millions of students?ok, now give me a break...i wouldn't even call hm a die-hard romantic...just a dumb jerk...

hell shujoy, what you actually need is a real great clean-up of your brain..so long buddy...
