“And that's for the day,I want you all to practice those two things that I told you
One is patience and other is thinking,don't forget to wrap up your mats and
keep at the backside,
Thank you so much for coming
.Oh one more thing,your homework write something on a piece of paper,
what you did on your weekend.don't make it your class 5 essay for god sake
.Till then bye”
“Don't you think, this art for living instructor is going a little
I mean over the nerves,Sanjay” Kiara said while rolling her blue mat
“I don't think so,I guess she is just doing her job,like you are paying for this right,
she is giving what you are missing in this so called filled with anonymous world,
and to be very honest your psychiatrist recommended it remember
”Sajay said while taking mats from Kiara hands
“Yeah obvious,this clumsy Kiara needs a psychiatrist to smooth her life,
as her own habits are ruining her world”
Kiara said with disappointment in her voice
“Hey,cheer up.You know these things are there to make you happy,
even it's a good break from 9-5 job,those screeching tires,
those loud traffic and most important that
irritating manager asking for the design blueprint
every time,I mean what you think is it that easy to build a window,
Like draw a window with your 15inch scale make a scenery
and bingo you got your so called class 5th scenery
in a drawing book hut and a window”Sanjay blabbered till the end
“See who is talking about class 5th drawing,remember instructor said,
No class 5 essay”with this Kiara laughed and they both exited the art of living class hall
“Yeah,At least you don't laugh,Miss HR,
I thought it's in your guidelines to treat everyone with equality,
and see you are laughing at me”Sanjay taunted with smirk
while opening car gate for Kiara
“ First of all I am just assistant to HR,and second of all Its sunday,no office talks please,
I don't want that my essay counts of you just blabbering all around about your office”
Kiara said while fiddling with her phone
“So,Miss assistant to the HR of Infosys,what you want to do today”
“Let's go for an ice cream,I mean a recently divorced girl at least deserve a scoop
of hot shot cocoa melted chocolate ice cream with mix of mango punch”
Kiara said with the excitement in her voice
“Your order is my command,mam,please dont fire me,
and by the way who in the world mix chocolate with mango,
oh yeah Miss Kiara Arora,” Sanjay laughed
“I know I am 27 not 5 anymore
,still something are good for remembering childhood,
what it is said in terms of Instagram hashtag nostalgia”
“Okay,sure let's go to the special place where we met for the first time”
Sanjay said with excitement in his voice
“ Wait,what?,You mean again to art of living hall,
no for god sake not at that place again please”
“Oh ,ho not that I know we met there
but I am talking about Nature Ice Cream Parlour,
the second place we went after this meeting”
“Yeah,say like that ,by the way I need a break from all those file paperwork that
I need to submit due to this divorce, that prenup thing and as well
as most important thing to tell to my parents about divorce”
Kiara said and then got lost in random thoughts
“Don't dishearten yourself,You know somethings are not meant for the way it is,
see on the good side what if your psychiatrist would never recommend this art of living
then do you think we would ever meet?” He questioned while honking in this Delhi traffic
“Maybe,Maybe not,You don't know what universe holds up for the future”
Kiara said while looking over the car window,
watching two newly love birds holding hands together
and the boy is trying to drive with just one hand as
he don't want to let go of the holding hand,
with this effort the girl laughed and kissed on his cheek
This just made her day more hard to go to as there was the time when on Sunday,
She and Arjun used to start the day with the sun first ray of the day over the balcony,
welcoming the new day with both of them entangled in each other,
loving and cuddling.After that lazily getting up for breakfast as
Arjun knows how much Kiara loves Nutella with the mango punch.
And by just talking with each other about world ,about future ,
about past the day ends
“Kiara,Kiara are you there,Come on we reached to the place”
Sajay said while getting out of car
“Yeah,Sorry”
As soon as they entered the place,
Sanjay ordered Vanilla scoop and Chocolate Mango punch for Kiara
while Kiara went to their usual corner seat waiting for Sanjay to come after ordering
“So order is done Miss HR,tell me what are you gonna write in that essay”
“Can I ask you a question?”Kiara said with confusion
“Wait,Now HR also asks for permission to ask questions,
I thought its their basic job to do”Sanjay said and laughed
“Okay,Okay you may ask” He added
“Why do you order Vanilla every-time,don't you think it's boring? “Kiara asked
“It has the basic answer same like your chocolate mango punch,
it's something that I am comfortable with,
just like the comfort zone that we made around yourself,
We never go outside this as we are not sure of what will happen next
and we don't go directly inside it
because we know we can do better than this“
Sanjay explained and smirked
“Oh,Ho Mr Sanjay Chaturvedi ,I never asked for the
philosophical side of this”Kiara laughed
“Okay,let me prove you in other way”With that he took out tissue
from the stand on the table and took out the pen from
his pocket pointed out to Kiara
“Okay write something,it's the same as when you go to
stationary shop to try for the new pen its working or not”
Sanjay explained and gave pen to Kiara
LIVE,LAUGH,LOVE
Kiara wrote and hand it over to Sanjay.
Sanjay was looking on that written note of Kiara
“ So,basically may I ask why you wrote this?”Sanjay asked
“You said to write something,this came to my mind
first and I penned it down”Kiara explained
“Don't you think something is missing?”Sanjay asked
“Yes,our ice cream on this table Kiara said
and looked over the waiter to bring the ice cream
“No Kiara,Laugh is missing in your life,
just like your comfort zone you don't know how to place it”Sanjay explained
“Sanjay not again please,can I catch the break please,
you know right now you are the only best friend I have
and the most random stranger I have “
Kiara said and took out scoop of ice-cream to fill her mouth
“Okay just take this tissue with you,maybe this can be your universe sign”
Sanjay said and start eating his vanilla ice cream
“Maybe,Maybe not”Kiara said
Miss kriti is slaying it all"who in the world mix chocolate with mango".
ReplyDeleteWow..I just loved the tissue paper scene, it's the reality of everyone's life we tend to look for everything around us. But, the one important thing that we forget is to laugh.
ReplyDeleteGreat story telling, waiting to see what happens with Kiara and Sanjay next.
