The Swapping

I have deliberately given the title so that you guys can let your imagination and fantasy fly having the wings spread on. Long live your imagination and fantasy but let me tell you the truth very clearly that this post has not been even remotely associated with your imagination. On a contrary it’s about doing right things at right moment with the help of my little presence of mind (which is very rare in me).Anyways enough insult of mine.

People, in my office, think of me as very stylist which by the way I am not. I wear branded clothes just because they are well fit and look good on me. I have no inhibition in picking my clothes from the roadside stalls either provided that fit me well. I can read the taste of the people far well than anybody and yeah I brag about this fact. I see everything from the aesthetic point on view so my colleagues rely on me heavily whenever there is a farewell or birthday party as I became the oblivious choice for buying the gifts for them.

 

It happened one day when two of my colleague is leaving our organization on the same day. So I have been called up in our group to suggest an idea about the gift. I suggest them that we should gift them a nice wrist watch as it’s very convenient to buy as well as we can be least bothered about the preferences of them. So after getting the approval from my colleagues I went on buying two watches for them in near by Titan shop. As one of them between them was little aged so I decided to buy a Golden color steel Titan watch for him and A contemporary stylist one for the one who is just four years senior than me. I got them packed & wrapped with colorful paper and came back to my Office.

Now at the evening we gathered in a common place in our office for giving them those gifts to them. A little reminiscence went on. Then finally my Manager handed over the respective gifts to them amid huge clapping. Then we returned to our respective cubicle. Suddenly I realized that the two packets of gift had been swapped by my Manager by mistake and he had given the Golden watch to the younger person and the contemporary stylist one to the aged one. A little do I know that my boss will end up doing such mishap?

I returned to my boss’s cabin and told about the swapping of packets. He seemed to look worried but real problem was that you can’t ask anybody to return the gift on the ground as it has been swapped. I returned to cubicle and tried to find an idea. Suddenly a great plan came to mind accidentally. I went to one of colleague and told them to take two of them for smoking from their respective cubicles so that I can swap the gifts. As instructed, my colleague took both of them downstairs for smoke and meanwhile I began the Operation. I went to both of their cubicle and swapped the watch and then repacked it nicely and within 10 minutes everything hopefully happened just like it had to be. I told my manager about that he laughed insanely but luckily they both didn’t open the packets to check out the respective gifts or else the operation could not be done.

After 10 minutes they both came back with my colleague and I signaled him a high five. He smiled back at me. At the time of leaving my office I made them open the respective boxes and they were both very happy to see their watches. Well “Operation Swapping” went well. Sometimes you know you have to do little unethical things to make some moment priceless.

 

The Wait...

It has been a long wait for you sweetheart and now inevitably I am getting restless. Everyday I   search you in the crowd, in the deserted place and in the every small turn of the road I ever pass by. My world revolves around you and only you. You know you are so addictive that I can’t think beyond you. Every night I look through my window and try to figure you out in the midst of darkness.

How do you look? I hope you are cute, impulsive, graceful and so adorable. You know I like long hair, somewhat straight but don’t make it artificially because that will belittle your image to me. You have to be natural like a spring.

You know girl I am little shy and introvert so don’t mind if I don’t look to smart and cool when we bumped with each other very first time but as time progresses you will eventually get to know me better. As I know I won’t find myself comfortable sitting with you in a new posh restaurant so would you mind if I take you to some cozy corner or rather some informal places on first date?

Well I am good listener so whenever you feel the uncontrollable urge to say anything you can surely call me at any time but let me tell you one thing that I like to be called in the morning during the half trance state of mine. It will seem to me that I am talking to in the dream. The first thing u should tell me is “I Love you” as it will make my day .Oh! One more thing, Please say “I love you” very often as it will keep me alive.

My culinary skills are limited to omelets and teas so don’t expect me to do such stuffs and on a contrary I would rather prefer to have bed tea made by you in the morning. Sometime I will cook for you to woo you but I hope you won’t judge it going by the taste as its all love that trickles down further whenever you would eat it with a smiling face.

Did I tell you that Blue is my favorite colour so please don’t get irritated when most of the time I end up buying a shirt which has a hint of blue. I even use a perfume named “Blue for Men”. What is your favorite colour? You know I would like to see you different shades of colour like fuchsia, pink, purple, lemon and mauve. I hope these colours will compliment you far more than others. By the way I am little shopaholic.

I am fond of kajal so whenever we meet please smudge it religiously so that I can’t take my eyes off you. I like ethnic clothes more than the western ones so please fill your wardrobe with traditional ones. Save the jeans and other things for your Girls day out. I love bangles and anklets so every weekend I will shop it for you. I have been fetish for smell so perfume surely will be shopping list. Just only one request that please don’t go overboard as far as make up is concerned as that will make you look more plastic than real. Simplicity has its own charm and aura.

 You know I like to see different kind of movies that made me think about the issue so please accompany me even if you don’t like these types of movies. I will accompany you to soft romantic types of movies also. Please read my every blog first as they are the kind of seismograph of my mind. Don’t hurt me ever as I can’t handle emotion to well. I am a die hard romantic person. Are you??

I am very liberal so I would give you enough space to breathe freely. I won’t interfere in your privacy. I hope you will love me more than I could possibly love you. Please embrace me tightly whenever I feel low as it will be reason enough for me to regain my confidence there after. I love dreaming. Do you dream? I love to build castle in the air so please stand by me to make them tangible.

When will we meet? I am here just waiting for you girl. Come and embrace me so tightly that even death too alters its own course before coming to me.

Yours forever,

Soumya
