How Naveen got lucky...

We were right out of school, into Engineering. Two of us were pals since nursery, thats Shafqat and I. It had been some 3-4 months in Bangalore, when the three of us boarded a bus from Forum towards college, with no idea of the fact that the journey had history in store.

A seat got empty, and we offered it to Shafqat, who was going through the holy month of Moharram. Suddenly, Naveen looked excited. There was a girl standing somewhere near where the driver was, some five metres away. " I know her. She is from my school".

"Call her here", I recommended. Naveen was an ass (note: now he isn't). I made sure that happens. Shafqat sacrificed his seat, and Naveen had to call her to avoid kicks from us back in hostel.

"Mahima....", he hailed. I could see the smile. The next minute, we saw the two of them seated together, thanks to another vacancy at the right time. We came to know later that night that the girl was doing her BBM from the same city.They were in the same school in Jaipur, and we made sure that he believes to have had a crush on her.That was fun.We almost hypnotized him into love.

                                     

That was some ten years ago, back in 2004. Today, that journey just seemed to flash in front of my eyes when I read that mail..."Naveen weds Kasturee"...

Ya...not the same girl. But trust me, the five years of his love life with Mahima had changed this guy completely, for the better. Things didn't work out after a period of time, but really think that girl came into his life like an angel, and created a dude out of our stupid pal, who now manages the sales department of Pepsi, in Canberra.

I wonder why fairy tails don't end the same way these days, as they did.

Anyways, I wish Naveen and Kasturee a lovely married life. May God Bless them.
