Ah! Another weekend goes by

Well there are times in life when what you feel is uncannily captured by a song or poetry or few lines. Well one such song comes to mind regarding my state of existance....

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

--------------------------------------------------------

Well finally one interesting thing happened on this trip to Delhi. On Sunday afternoon, me and Madmita meet up at the metro station....i buy the ticket when we hear the metro rolling into the station.

Madmita shoots a glance at me like two hunters would on an expedition,sensing the prey and exclaims "Dude!! lets run for it". She belts across like PT Usha at the nationals. Well now you have to appreciate my state of being at the particular point in time. I have been in a generally dopey mood recently plus the clumsy dolt that i am, i fumbled with my ticket at the gate...the damn thing won't open!! Over and above that the thing that i have for slo-mo runs (since the days i was scarred for life watching fine young ladies like Pamela and Yasmine on Baywatch). What all this meant was that surprisingly quick madmita was out of sight (i swear, i didn't catcha glimpse of her) before i shifted from the first gear.

Then came the escalator. Now i have a thing about escalators, i dunn like running or even walking on them....i feel it disrespects the good'ol esci. Anyhow, seeing the criticality of the situation (Madmita actually made it feel like it was the last train to El dorado) i moved rather swiftly, gracefully leaping from step to step.

Ok now this is where it gets interesting....as if you haven't cracked a rib already laughing. So i reach the top on the platform now....the train is about to leave...i can just feel it. Madmita has gathered such speed that its impossible for her to grind to a halt. The doors werea round 15 meters away from the point i was standing when i saw them closing....next few moments passed in classic slow-mo style, i tried my best like a hindi film hero shouting "Nahiii......(hands flying in the air), well i didn't actually shout. The doors closed me and madmita standing on opposite sides like lovers losing each other forever....u get the picture, purra hindi movie ka romantic scene....

Yeah enough of that...this is how actually the conversation across the glass went :-

Me: "What the f##$ were you doing ??"
Her: "Get on the next metro you slow coach, moron!!!"

And then according to her all the people in the compartment burst out laughing.
