Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 JAB WE MET   Bharat looked at his watch patiently. The train was still a few hours away from the destination. Long journeys can get quite boring towards the end. He had read the book he was carrying. Not knowing what to do, he picked up the matrmonial section of the newspaper. He found some of the descriptions very interesting. He even scanned a few prospective brides. He was so engrossed in this exercise that he did not realise that the train was pulling into the station.  Bharat was happy to be at home after a long time. There were so many things to talk about. Later, there were  more and more discussions on Bharat’s marriage. He had successfully sidestepped this issue in the past. His father brought up a few proposals. Bharat responded with measured indifference. Seeing his father’s anguish and annoyance, he decided to meet a girl at Bhopal. Secretly, he was more interested in meeting his father’s friend who also lived in Bhopal.  Bharat’s father’s friend was excited at the prospect of playing some role in the-boy-meet-the-girl affair. His son offered to drive Bharat to the girl’s house. They were riding a scooter . Unexpectedly, it started raining. It soon turned into a heavy downpour. Bharat wanted to turn back, but the boy insisted that they go ahead. So they drove on bravely. They were absolutely drenched. The girl’s father, who looked very amused, greeted them with a request to remove their wet clothes. Bharat had a sheepish look on his face. He felt reassured when they were handed a set of clothes.  Then a delicately-built girl walked in daintily. A blush on her face made her even more beautiful. Her name was Dipti. They talked about the usual things. But their eyes spoke much more. Finally, Bharat had to leave. A sense of longing overwhelmed them as they parted. Bharat was humming ‘Zindagi bhar nahin bhulegi yeh barsat ki raat…’ as they drove back in a steady drizzle.  It rained again today. Bharat and Dipti were together. They happily munched pakoras and sipped their tea while debating a fitness regimen for their slightly out-of-shape bodies.  Bharat 1979 Love Cricket?
