Whose shoe is it anyway?

A few days back my little cousin and me were discussing about our future(her’s essentially lying in what would be the fate of shahid and kareena) and then she dropped this bombshell on me.Innocent she is…she asked me “so have you been in love?”.With the initial build-up of “me…hehe no way” and all,I just thought backward.That made me re-collect some memories I dumped in the attic long before I joined college.The guy in brown shoes!!Well…a statutory warning to all the guys reading this blog.You might not like the contents of this article especially if you are wearing brown shoes..:),and let me tell one of my alert readers that no I’m not crapping when I write stuff that run inside the top floor of a woman’s mind(often lighted by a bulb.. like in my case).When I and many such girls were young and tender and grew up watching crappy tamil (added to the junk of hindi )movies….we created the hazy guy in clean brown shoes!He always wore brown shoes and I should say with deja-vu it seemed like he had been there in somewhere in ddlj (the mother of all long songs hindi movie),in that very train that kajol nearly missed…probably he pulled her in…I’m not too sure:).The guy I had been in love with for three long years of my life. Our’s is what tamil cinema potrays as “deiviga”(sorry no duets for u) love.Never met,never spend quality time…so much so that I don’t even know his fullname….and as usual my premonition says it sounds like “shawruk khan”!Well for those who are still reading and wondering if it was love at first SIGHT….nah…we fell in love after he died in a shootout for the cause of humanity(3 hrs of taking a thriller hindi movie is quite too much)…even as I cried over the fact that he had of all things passed away on a lady’s lap and someone else at that. But then some people never die…I think someone bought my prayers(karan johar may be) and he came again with a second life playing basket-ball and as always he basketed my heart…strange how are love grew,and very weird cause we never met!But then he always knew…gez trr style(sonalthan kadala).But then our sweet romantic interlude was cut short by the villan of all times(nah its not amrish puri)….the BOARD EXAMS!!!Board exams the eternal viallan of quite a few love stories like mine.Throwind up a stunt right before the climax(the Preboard exams) my sweet lover broke his crown(not literally the KING rules…like in his torn poster on my wall)…and the torture of having to do it myself has quite affected me(aftermath:I suffer from selective amnesia!...esp when it involves re-calling in a networks paper ).And to those who are looking for kerchiefs around….nah I believe in true love and so you can keep your condolences with you!When you love someone they’ll come back to you(like a ghost probably ) when it is time(when you done with all the villans masked as exams)and hence I thought out loud and said…”may be….a guy in brown shoes…but i dont know his name!”
