Okay so believe me this has never happened to me before, ever... It seems like a plan... seems like a sign, as if God is trying to direct me to something,... I am not the superstitious kind, i dont look for hidden signs and though i believe that a day will come when we will finally be able to read God's mind but i have left that quest for Stephen Hawkins and Roger Penrose. Its funny to be talking about them here though, is this another sign???Anyways, before you get bored guessing and move away from this page thinking i have lost my mind i think i must tell you what i am blabbering about.
Andrew... (sigh) i dont know his full name and that serves two purposes , for one you can not search him on google or facebook and two saves me the pain of creating a pseudonym for him :D I met Andrew last Saturday, (haaa and imagine i making a blog entry about him already) .... i was watching this travel flick called "The Art of Travel", i will not comment on the movie because i could only watch the last ten minutes of the movie but if the climax was like this and i can very be happy about not seeing the whole movie. Coming back, i had just taken off towards the kitchen to cook some dinner for myself when suddenly one of my housemates came up to me and told me he was going out to grab some dinner and if i would like to come along. It had been too long since i had eaten Mediterranean food and of course i did not want to refuse and so i hopped along.
We walked to the restaurant, and as i entered the room full of guests and laughter, there he was, first impression, charming, nice smile. He mumbled his name and only after the second time i got it right. Andrew, and then perhaps my evening belonged to him, he wasn't the talkative kind but not very quiet either. He laughed whole-heartedly, a physics graduate student (ah!! i like the intellectuals). Being a physics masters student doesn't tell me that but from his talk i could guess that he was the studious kind. Anyways if i start describing everything probably it will fill up pages in short i had lost my mind in his green eyes. Yet another crush, perhaps on a guy i will never see again in my life... i thought to myself as he bid a cheerful and warm goodnight.
I wrote about him to my friend the next day, and i remember writing precisely about how i will probably forget his face even before i got sober. Little did i expect the happenings of the next day...
Here i am, on the first day of my spring break, wondering what to do, its too cold in my house and so i decide to get out and soak in the sun, take a little walk to the lab and say hi to my prime enemy Moji (ah he is another character, but not in this blog) So i pick up my bags and set out. Unfortunately there was no one i could fight/flirt with back in room 2335 and so i decided to leave for my favourite coffee house - Grand River Cafe. It is this sweet little place, with a cozy fire place and a live fountain, i came here 2 days back with my sweetest friend Rachel, and i fell in love with it, nice Hazelnut coffee and free wi-fi what more does a net-aholic like me need. If you think i have drifted away from the topic then no, this cafe is important for the story, anyways, coming back to the Engineering Building entrance, so i open the door lost in the spring beauty and suddenly i see someone.
There in a blue T was the same old face that had grown a bit hazy since the weekend, after the effects of Final Absolution wore off. He smiled and we exchanged a cordial greeting... well yeah, that was it...
This is it i thought to myself, 2 times, 2 times in 3 days, can not get weirder than this. This is the last time i will ever see this guy and so i commemorated the day with a new status m
essage on my gtalk... by the way coincidentally my status message till then was 'He's got the looks...' (dedicated solely and truly to Milind Soman... for those of you who dont know him here's a pic I had better ones but... :D)Anyways, so i change my status message to 'Saw him again today, could this be a plan'... hmmm... i meant it as a joke on destiny and nothing more, But then destiny always has its own way of getting back at you.
Next day, today... I walk into the Gran River Cafe, after spending the whole yesterday here, after spotting my latest crush in the EB parking. It is raining, i am a bit drenched, i clumsily open my wet hair as droplets stream down them, and walk towards the fire place, to my favorite couch and lo...
He is still sitting right in front of me, sipping coffee, reading his big physics books, relaxing and contemplating or may be just pretending, i dont know, but it has been a treat since past 3 hours.
So should i go upto him and ask him if he believes in reading Gods mind and what should i interpret from the way the dices have been turning up since past few days... May be he will have the answer to whether this is Coincidence or Conspiracy of God... but on second thoughts perhaps i should just sit back and enjoy my 3rd cup of steaming latte and just watch him...
As i say, some dreams are better left unfulfilled, they loose their charm if pursued too ruthlessly.
