“The Incompatible Acquaintance”
Facebook is a place to socialize,
Ever wondered meeting someone so nice,
Who leaves a mark in your life.
An acquaintance randomly added,
Could be a darling, undecided.
Days were dull,
Mindfully numb,
Some waiting for call to work,
Others were waiting coz of no work.
Net keeps us updated,
Friends were away yet not deleted.
Morning time,
The buzz from a little known stranger unexpectedly arrives,
Inquiring about placement, little skeptical of her intention,
Silence broke and exploring each other was day’s expedition.
Chatting begun and with every word curiosity arisen,
Time fly by only to make us realize,
What a “beautiful & adorable” co-incidence awaited all our lives.
Little hesitant to go further,
She puts down my proposal to have coffee together.
Chatting all night,
Admitting the right,
One question leading to another,
Who cares for the world when we are together.
Out of blues,
She accepted my proposal which made me delight,
To walk down marine drive.
Darkness around,
Had to wait for light to be our gown.
Drowsiness bound,
Making us astound,
Give more time,
For fate to command,
Let the right opportunity sound.
Networking continues,
Getting absorbed in the mood of the night.
Garlanding every moment,
Pleasing our mind,
Cleansing our soul,
The air of friendship & love untold.
The day’s demand,
CCD was the moment unplanned,
Capachinno was Nice,
Except for the “ice-cream scoop”, so unwise.
Which made me realize,
My nervousness at her sight.
Apprehending my talks,
And getting lost in her eyes,
What do I say “It’s a pleasure, I oblige”.
Day’s folds into night,
A fatal attraction bonding us upright.
Second date was more fun,
Walked the way from Powai to station.
Home calling,
Bags of memories and desire for future.
Boarding the train,
Lets smile prevail.
Dedicated to the known stranger
