College Connection Chapter 4 - Surprised Scrutiny

It is murder. Loss of a life. For some people who are used to news of hundreds of people killed is normal, but each person takes with him/her a bigger circle then we can imagine. The parents, the siblings and above all the intellect the world is deprived of. The consequences are bigger than we can imagine. For the first time I realised how much it can pain a person nearby. I have barely known her for a week , and was in all pain, I cant even imagine how it must have pained for someone who knew her for years.
The days are longer, there is no real adventure in studies. The projects get on the nerves, suddenly I realized Bombo used to talk of her boyfriend. Who was he, I knew they nicked him Titanium but was not sure who the hell or where he was. Why was he not present at funeral, and where would that so expensive necklace be.Why would police not enquire too much. There is something fishy for sure. I have to find out. If not as a friend, as a women. What happened to her.Why did it happen.
I went right down to Bombo's diary to find her bf number, called him. The number was disconnected. Went to the cellular office and got his home address. I gate crashed his house and kept on ringing the bell. The place was stinking. I could no longer stand there. I saw a stream of dried blood between my feet. I ran right into the window on right and jumped in to see , a severely decomposed body of someone charred to death and left. I lost my senses, and went close. I picked the body , opened the door and came out in open.
There was a crowd now , watching me. I didnt let anyone come close. The police was there, dragging me away, and I was shouting, no I did not killed my love. There is something which no one understood. When i regained my senses, I could see in news channel, I was now a criminal, and that my lingo resembled Bomboo. I was not myself, did Bomboo happen to enter my body. It can't be. I dont believe in spirits entering the body, but you never know. I was looking and gazing. Entered into police station. There was this big tall black male who came to me and said lewdly," Girl , so ya are da one who killed so many. I will do things ya wont even know.", and he laughed insane. I was terrified. I am a pure blood, I wont let a monster even come near, forget him touching me. I was mad. Furious . And you name it. My anger had turned my pale white face into cherry red . I just bust out. Literally. The beam from inside me literally blew up the police station. The buzzing TV cluttered into elements and what remained in the station was me. It was a deep silence.

College Connection Chapter 3 - The Main Hall

The events keep on bothering me. I am forced to think something is not going on correctly. Am I stressed out. I should do something to clear the vent. I went to library but the message, Keep Silence made so much noise in my ears, i just ran off. I landed up in the main hall which was crowded. I saw my favorite Pallu in there, favourite because he is supposed to do whatever I say for next week. Was this the vent I needed. I went straight to him and asked him to dance on an item number. I thought his friends would try to stop him, but they all came on my side. I was amused how come they are on my side, possibly realizing if they don't then I can tame them too. My mind was running like an criminal vehicle on an express highway being chased by patrol guards. My abusive lingo made me call that piece of shit b****** (censored abuse). I was certainly feeling very happy. Its insane to be happy in a situation when you treat a human in this way, but what boys have been doing to girls for centuries, this I think is just a beginning.
The way its supposed to be going will either make me mad or will get someone killed. I am not a weirdo but thats what I have been for last couple of days. As if going in the background, I didnt seem to recognise anyone. The characters seem to change , the curtains seem to be off colored . I was losing it. I think I passed out , it must be that the activities of last few days have taken its toll.
I woke up in hospital with a broken arm and unable to stand. The nurse with me told it will be all right, and I should not worry. I assumed i had just fallen from the steps. But when i tried to stand up , i felt a pain between my legs. A shiver ran down my spine when i realized what has happened to me.

Bombo brought Flowers for me along with a girl. And i was shocked to see her, i stared her continusly and bombo introduced her as Sana, i couldn't see her face last time as she was sleeping like Horse. I couldn't keep my eyes off her, not because i fell for her but i have met her before some years and never expected to meet again, never expcted that we would share same room. Sana too stood still. It was the moment when Clock actually stopped ticking.

Bombo interupted "o O Maya you acting as if i got Ghost with me,,,stop embarrassing us with tht stare" I managed to look away from here n tried to smile to show as if nothing happened. Sana managed to say "hello nice to meet you" I choked as i tried to reply her.
These turn of events are bound to make me mad. It took me a week to recover, and start attending the classes normally. It was a relief to be my usual back. But then there was always an element of suspicion as to what might have happened. The adventures were as expected far from over. Bamboo was found murdered in her bed, and with fingerprint of some girl over her neck. The investigation was going in full swing, and I was so shocked to realize what has just happened. Such a carefree girl, and such a careless action, The post mortem report lead to a hopeless situation. It was my fingerprint on her neck.

Last Night, at around 2 am,when i was busy Facebooking and uploading my college pics, Ana returned from night party. She wore beautiful White sleeveless deep square cut necked knee length dress and silver delicate jewelery doubled her beauty. She had curled her hairs, gave her elegant look. Any guys would fall for her at first sight. I neve bothered about my looks i loved myself the way i was but first time i felt and wished to have same kind of attractive looks.

Anyway she was extremely happy, as her 8th boy friends porposed her. She was like on top of the world, talkin talking talking...and i was curiously listening to her.

"you know maya, he got on his knees in front of whole crowd, i was like on 7th sky.."

I smiled

"and you won't belive, this party was organised for me, it was all pre plaan and and and...look at this..this necklace, he saved his 6 months salary just for this..OH Gosh m so happy"

I could see her eyes well up due to exces of happiness.

I finally asked "ok baba but whats his name" She shyly said "sushant".

She began changing her outfit and i continued facebooking. I heard her callin me "maya can you help me removing this" pointin towards her necklace. And i helped her take it out.

Never knew where it will take me to!!
Sushant was a IIT passout , must be earning well now. If had saved for 6 months, the necklace must be really expensive, and no surprise the party must have been in main hall, since if she was out of college after 10 PM she wouldnt have been allowed in. The fingers were still on me. The 5 ct diamond necklace was missing. It must have been something in the main hall, someone in there must have plotted it for. 

College Connection Chapter 2 - The Torment Continues

What a carefree night. I don't miss my parents , truly not me. I was imagining i will be down tears without them, but nothing of the sorts. There was no drama as I expected. No ragging , no calling out names and none to really talk to. All girls seemed to cold and isolated. I was staring at the wall above, when the same friendly face came over me. I sat up in surprise, "Hey, who are you. You helped me and just went off. I just couldn't thank you as much.". The girl continued to smile and say, the boys here don't like me very much. I ask too many questions in the lecture and often require homework assignments. Teachers love me, but all students hate me. My first instinct of a hard working ever bugging lady to be friends was not my idea. I always have been true bird. I have not really done any assignments and I hate to do what others ask me. Still I thanked her, and retired to sleep. I felt she wanted to inform me of some lurking danger. But who cares.

Alarm bell got me out of my dreams. First day of lecture and i was late, i hurried up and got ready, wore my hoood and cargoes. Thats what i like the most :P I saw my roomies were still asleep. I thought of waking them up but i ignored. As i was going to pick my bag, i heard a sweet typical gurlie voice from back of me "Hey Morning! " As i looked back, she continued "New Entry huh?" I smiled and nodded. She had assami look, small eyes, round face, silky shiny straight hair. she had adorable hair, i touched my hair and felt as if i haven't taken bath since ages, my hair texture is so rough compared to this beautiful girl's. I introduced myself " Ok My Self Maya and you?" She replied "Well I'm Suchitra, but well known as Bombo" I was like "ehh what!!! Bombo?? Now whats thattt!!!" She giggled. She introduced her friend too, whose face was still a suspense for me, she had her quilt on her face so couldn't really get an idea about her. But bombo anyhow wanted to introduce her "She is Sana, sleeping beauty, she parties whole night so she sleeps in lecture time and shez my best friend tooo, rest will continue laters, right now you gettin late for lecture". I was surprised, i asked "and what about you, aren't you guys going for lecture" and she giggled again. Those giggling indicated that she's very bubbly and peppy kind of girl. I left and did some cleaning of my pulsar, and here i was, first day of lecture and very much excited.

I parked my pulsar and moved towards class, aaah guess what..that same gang of guys where standing there unaware of my entry. As i reached there, all guys were kind of avoiding eye contact specially pallu. I wanted them to do 3idiots "tofu kabool karo" thing, would have loved to see weird boxer patterns but then i didn't bother much as my mind was focused to attend lecture.
There has always been a mischief in me, and as people might say a mindless object trying to perceive a philosophical thought. I can't stand an hour long lecture in which some teacher keeps on mumbling something, expecting us to be awake all the time , and even understand what the hell she is saying. Its word by word in the book. Tell me something interesting. I will listen. I saw the teacher with such an intensity that the table broke off and the ceiling fan dropped down, as if someone shot at it. I was still staring at the fan while other people started running out. No one knew what happened , but I was lost. I thought I saw the girl on other side of hole so created by falling fan. My colleagues had to drag me out of the class. Later in the day we came to know the building behind our classroom collapsed, and I was wondering ,did I stared too hard.

Well if that was true, then I'm super man..I mean supergirl with super power:D :D I started imagining myself as Rajnikant of Robot who used to attract metal through magnet, i would be pulling all Guys Clothes whoever tries to come in my way, that too publically. I could rule the world with just one stare. Whoaa I was unable to control my useless emotions, i actually forget that this is just a hallucination, nothin real. But i really wish i had same power. As i got out of class, i again saw that girl, my messiaah, as i tried to call her, touch her, Suchitra aka bombo called me from behind. I gave her 2 minutes sign and looked back for that girl, she was no where. I asked Sana "did u see that girl in white shirt, you know her? where can i get her?" Sana was looking at me as if i m taking in my dreams. She asked "which girl u talkin about?? I didn't see any, may be i didnt notice her" I was gettin hell curious, i somhow wanted to talk to her. One part of me said, " oh chuck it yaaar, y getting so curious?" and other part of me was not able to forget her. Sana kept talking nonstop like radio host an i was lost in my thoughts. She observed me since long finally she asked "anythin wrong? you okay?" I just couldnt resist enquiring about tht ghost like female who disappears everytime i try to talk to her...Suddenly it got clicked and i questioned Bombo "were you there when i had bet with pallu and gang when we had arm wrestling competition" she nodded. i was relief that atleast she must have seen tht girl and obviously she must be knowin her "Wow kool, then tell me who was that girl who mocked that gang and blackmailed them about some MMS, she was very much highlighted that time, im sure you know her, she seemed to be famous". Her expression changed and irritatingly she replied "are you on drugs?? Are you lesbian?? Yeah possible coz you dress up more like guys may be girls fascinate u, no wonder your behavior is revolving around some xyz girl" I got agitated "oh cut the crap bombo, be serious whats that girls name and where can i find her"

I was baffled by her reply "Oh you will never going to find her, coz there was no such girl, it was only you who fought, who wrestled and won the bet, i dont understand what you talking"

College Connection Chapter 1- The Road to Glory

It was old Pune-Bombay highway. I was excited to get into college of my choice. IIT , the best college in the country. There was no blade of uncertainty that I was one of the finest girls in my school. I chose to bike my way to Bombay.

Reason why i chose bike was to feel the actual essence of scenery on the way. Weather was calm and amazing, cool breeze was flowing. Mild drizzle perfumed the surroundings with the scent of fresh soil.

This beautiful moment gave me sense of Deja Vu, as though I have recently been here, same place, same time. But as far as i remember this was my first visit to Mumbai.

Then what was that which brought me in Flash back?? I was trying to ignore this question as i so badly was in love with the enviroment, the nature!
It is the same place where something has happened, I was crossing the milestones on my bike and still clueless how can I be so sure what the next milestone will be. 20 Kms into the highway, and I never thought how come I being the girl can drive the pulsar so smootly as guys wont dare. What is it in me that is making me do all the stuff. How can I never study and still top the premier engineering institute in the country. How come i know the path so well. These questions cropped out first time, and I still had no clue whatsoever.

Continued driving with a Question mark in my mind whether if i was best of all which made me do all that and achieve which was not so expected or is it just my good luck? These are Questions which i think everyone wants to know from life. But Life is so tricky, it leaves all the answers to us like a jigsaw puzzle, we are expected to handle it with patience! But who really have that much patience in this fast life where ppl dont have time to have proper meal. We sometimes love to go with the flow....and we die with this jigsaw puzzle:P May be because this is the only medium to pass our time when we'll b gettin decayed in our lonely n spooky grave.

:P

Ooops i got off the track, what do i do, my mind doesn't stick to any one topic. Oh yes now i remember where all this started from.... - Deja Vu......
Swoooosh .... a Maruti car passed by me. The number plate MH090000 is so familiar. Within an eye-flick my bike is tail-gating the car. It was not out of revenge, neither curiosity but u was there, overtaking the car. It seemed to me like an old Hindi horror movie going out of sorts, only this time it is real. I just overtook the car and with a feeling like winning the Olympic Gold Medal , i saw my rear view mirror. I had to brake hard. I stopped by the side. There was no car behind me, nothing which I overtook. Was i hallucinating. No, the car was there for sure.
I stood there for like 5-7 mins in perplexed mode, still difficult to digest no sign of Car. But hell, i also had a glimpse of driver, he too seemed to be familiar. It certainly wasn't mere hallucination, it was much more than that...
Well i had to reach before sunset so i preferred not to waste much of time n continued driving.

But i couldn't convince myself to not to think about it, i was still trying to recall who the person was in driver's seat. After half and hour's ride, it suddenly got clicked that person was none other than my friend's Father, Mr. Chaddawala. But what was he doing in that car. Oh its obvious he was also travelling, but how he got vanished within fraction of sec? Thats impossible!! I'm sure he wasn't born with some superpower. Err this question was annoying me. Instead of getting scared or nervous because of such horrifying experiance i was actually feeeling annoyed. If he was playing any prank on me, God swear , i will do justice to his name soon.

I reached the college on time, thanks to my speeding pulsar. All eyes were set on me, as I took out my helmet. "A Girl"!!!, and i thought this is Bombay. Can't they just digest a girl driving a bike. But they were surely seeing something else. They were looking at my bike. It was splendid, but not that everyone staring at my bike when i was present. It was my insult. But as i turned back to see my bike, it was all muddy, The back wheel had no air and it seemed its a remote model of an age old bike.
I just kept on staring at my princely bike being torn apart like a hapless girl surrounded by goons in middle of night by the unknown forces of nature.

Took a deep breathe and moved forward. I felt like an alien whose spaceship landed by mistake in Mumbai, all new faces, new people, but feelin was usual one - weird and nervous. As i continued walking , i could feel peoplez eyeball following me, may b becoz i actually looked like an alien. Huh Jokes apart, people always tend to treat tomboyish girl as sumthing unusual so may be that was the reason.

My Dark green Cargoes, Blck full sleeves T shirt and Sleeveless hood, guys like hand bands and punky neclaces and of course my messy uncombed Hair made me look not so girlish, hence grabbed unnecessary attention.

Well i have this bad or may be good habit of staring back at those who stares me, and i love to embarrass them. Thats Funn!!

By this time, my stomach was gettin flat as i haven't had anythin from like 5 hrs, so i decided to go to canteen and hog...my bad luck, no vacant table...but there was one vacant chair where a gang of guys were sitting. I didn't care and sat there as i wasnt able to control my hunger. So i just went out and ordered my burger. With a burger in my hand, someone called from back , Tommy cho cho ... I didnt care to look back. The guy started hooting and one of them came to me. "Tomboy tommy", we want your introduction. Can you please join your seniors. I wanted to go out, but then , i don't care about them.
I had taken a bite from the burger , when this guy calls out, " when will you fill us , jaaneman". It was so lewd but everyone laughed. I kept my cool. Chewing my burger. They cracked a few more jokes, but I was concentrating on the burger.
I stared at the person cracking jokes and he fell off the chair. No one knew what happened but I was laughing. He was a fat guy , dark in complexion and wore glasses. One of the guy called out , Pallu get up. Stop staring at burgers u fatty. I was laughing loudly , and just murmured .... Pallu gir gaya (pallu fell off). Then they clarified his name is Paul and they call him pallu. I asked him , "are you trying to do my ragging".
All laughed , and said, no we are not trying. We will be doing it. I said , then first prove yourself. Lets do a bet. If you win I do whatever you say today in ragging, but if i win , i select one of you to do whatever I say for a week. And you will not lay hands on any girl again for ragging. Do you have guys to accept it.
They all laughed . I replied, "I mean it. Anything" .
The guy replied , then we select the game we compete in, and if we defeat you , all of us will rag you whole night. I was so sure that these guys wont be even able to touch me. First thing they offered was running. I defeated the best one among them. They realized i am too athletic for them to be defeated. So they asked me to go off , and no one wins. But now i was mad. I said , say anything and compete. Else you wear bangles for all your college life.
The seniors could not take it. Then realizing i am still a girl , asked me for arm wrestling , pull ups and wrestling. I must admit, these guys from Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore were defeated with an ease as the hot knife slices the butter.

So...here we are, i was surrounded by all guys who were hooting for their frndz/ seniors. I had no support, All alone, i was little shaken up by this. I took Bappas name (God) and put all my effort to win this bet!

I was a tough competition for them, when they realised this, they started passing filthy comments on me "Bet is just an excuse, we got a pleasure to touch u girl and this is just the beginin -- Of the challenge" I ignored, had no other option, they were certainly trying to divert my mind. I lost my patience when a guy of their group, oh i should admit he was hot, i got mesmarized by his physique, anyway i lost my patience when he got very close to my face n whispered "remember, will rag u "Whole night"!!

i was about to stand up n beat him then shoooooot, one girl grabbed him from collar and said "Dude have balls to compete sportingly, dun try this cheap methods to win bet ok, i wont let it happen atleast not it my presence" and she winked at me

I stared back and unknowlingly , as if from from inside a radiant force came out. The guy crashed in his chair. The girl had a mobile phone in her hand, and announced , "I just did record the bet, and MMS it". So if you guys wont go as per conditions set, you will be ragged. Heard Police, did you.
It was readily easy for me to beat the hell out of the guy in wrestling. But i was not thinking about the fight. The events of the day ran down my memory as i crushed the hapless Pallu in my arms. The strength of seven horses running down the poor pathetic thing who was nearly suffocated to death, unknown to the fears he will have to endure coming week, dressed like a sissy girl and made to do things which he was dreaming i would have done to him in night. He shouted, " I give up. I can be your slave, but leave me now". The word slave , brought me back to senses, but i asked again. He repeated the sentence, and as I was going to leave her, the girl gave me a set of bangles. Before I could think of the use, the bangles were up Pallu's hands and all were laughing. I am not sure how much a man was still in him now.

AS I moved forward towards the door, my eyes were searching for that Girl who intervened. I know i m bold enough to tackle these things easily but still an unexpected support from stranger makes us feel good. I searched for her in canteen but no traces of her.

Day was ending, i was also tired and exhausted because of travelling and no rest, and then this bet thing.I so badly wanted to sleeep. Now I'm going to meet my roomies also. I was told room is shared with 2 more girls.

Was kinda excited to meet them. I reached room and no one was there, there was nobody in room in morning also when i came here to drop my luggage. Seems like these girls come here just to sleeep. Ok, i was dead tired so i dont know when i fell asleep on my bed!
