Once upon a time, there lived a guy and a girl. They fell in love and promised to be together until death does them apart. And they lived happily ever after. Ideally, our story should have started on these notes. But it doesn't. It starts like this:Once upon a time, there was this guy with a boy always lost. He liked to be confined within himself, had very few friends in his life. Its difficult to say why he was the way he was though he liked to be lonely. He was capable of being alone in the midst of a chaotic crowd like a stranger without roots , like a lonely star twinkling in a deserted horizon, like a drop of dew sitting in solitude on a leaf .Something was missing in his life. Then He met Her, and everything changed... It was his first day in the college and he was trying his best to be at the most deserted corner. Then suddenly it seemed as if shecame out from the clouds and when he saw her, he was transfixed. She looked like the bright rays of sun from a cloudy sky, like the fragrance all around when the first drop of rain touches the sun baked soil. Lost in his own thoughts he heard a soft voice, "Excuse me.. could you please tell me.." and he knew that it could be her only. He turned to answer and found her talking to the person standing next to him. How badly he wished for her to have asked him!! He turned slowly and was looking at the ground and again came the soft voice, "Could you please..". This time she was asking him. He looked up to find her blue eyes looking at him. And he felt time had come to a standstill. He found it difficult to answer her!! His voice was refusing to come out!! She looked at him strangely and asked again.Regaining some control over his nerves he somehow replied. She thanked him, gave her a soft smile and turned back. Second year of college...In last one year, he had gained his old reputation which he had in school of a guy with brilliant brain, fullof great ideas but who stumbled when asked to express them. It was perhaps because his mind worked faster than his ability to express. This hadn't done any good to him in other things either. He met her several times everyday. Whenever they crossed each other, she smiled, the same friendly soft dimpled smile. And he just blinked back nervously. Word were still a struggle.His feelings remained inside him Like dried colors which could have taken shape of a beautiful painting had they been put on canvas. Beautiful thoughts came. to his mind but as soon as he tried to pen them down,he ran out of words.
