“Smart”
“Handsome”
“Beautiful”
“Amazing”
These are some of the words we hear daily. Crushes and infatuations are a part and parcel of college life. Whether a fuchcha, a senior or a super-senior, all are at a lookout for some gossip or for making new “friends”.
Here is a review of the experiences of some of my friends (for the matter of anonymity, I would only refer to them as “He” and “She”) :-
- He has a crush on her from the first week of college. Even though they are in the same class, he has never approached her, even for being friends.
- She likes him and he likes her, they are in the same class, they are good friends, and all their friends know about their crush but...there are still a lot of buts!
- He saw her in the canteen once, followed her to her class, found her (quoting his words) “magnetic”, and so the daily procedure of stalking began. It’s been four months and she hasn’t even noticed yet.
- They became friends through facebook, and later she came to the same college as him. Though he was a senior, they started hanging out together and hence, the tongues started wagging!!
- She had a crush on him. She and her friends were in the same tute as him .She liked his pink t-shirt one day and as friends are, one of her friends told him that he looked good in it. So, for the next three day he wore the same t-shirt to college, much to the amusement of that girl and her friends.
- He had a crush on her to the extent that he checked her facebook updates five-six times a day, but never commented or liked them. On her birthday, he and his friends followed her around. If she would have noticed; she would have seen him crossing her thrice, trying to catch her attention.
Stories continue.
But if we look around us, there are many people on the “lookout” for us. We just have to notice. Accept that we are “appreciated”. A story is not complete unless the last page has been edited.
So, Delhi University is filled with such cute stories - with tons of “He’s” and “She’s”!!
I noticed these cute little stories, that’s why I wanted you all to know, that it is time to look around at those eyes which admire you and make you feel “special”.
Violins heard, chorus singing. The hearts flutter. The song continues -
“Pyaar ki yeh ek kahaani suno..
Ek ladka tha,
Ek ladki thi........”
