LOVE MAGGI

I was at my home, packing my bags for Mumbai tour when my mobile ranged. It was Her. I picked call and was showered by most loving “Helllooo” in a beautiful voice.  She told me she is in train-same train I was having my reservation for Mumbai and she had departed from Gondia and that she will meet me at station to bid bye bye… I was overwhelmed b’coz it was her plan to surprise me, pleasant gift and wonderful treat. I packed  my bag hurriedly, did home rituals of praying to God, taking blessings from Parents & telling whole world that  I am going to Mumbai & will return after 5 days (as if its really important for them).jumped on my friends bike, we kicked & marched towards station. I was beaming, bumping, blushing & bubbling like an overexcited baby (well, I am her baby). 

 

“left for stn, can’t wait 2 c u” I msgd her. 

 

“oh baby me toooo” she replie & I went crazy. (Told u na m her baby).

 

 “R U ready for LOVE MAGGI???” I asked. 

 

“What’s that??” she asked in reply.

 

 “V got 2 mins at station for our love” I explained. 

 

“Lolz, Yes”, she replied with smiley.

 

 “Love Maggi will have taste of ur kiss, hotness of ur hug, sweetness of ur smile & blissfulness of ur presence” I msgd. 

 

“Of course…with spice of ur words & masala of ur naughty tickles” she adds.

 

 “It wil b d Best maggi of  my life.”I said.

“Well… we both as noodles & Love as ingredient Love Maggi have to be a delicious treat”. She replied this time with kissi smiley.

 

            Exactly at 4 pm train arrived at station, wave of people – travelers, their relatives, friends rushed toward train searching for their boogies & shouting their seat nos. In the midst of all this chaos, one beautiful face slowly walks toward me. World around me stops, heart skips a beat, crowd went out of focus, my eyes got fixed on her. She stands near me looked at me quizzically, smiled (maybe at my open mouth expressions) & hugged me saying “missed you”. Now everything has stopped for me this time. She laughed little more “Mr. Love Maggi your 2 mins are done.” I hold her hand, touched her cheeks with other hand and was about to say something when someone dashed on me & woke me from fantasy.

 

            Then again exactly at 4 pm (this in reality) train again arrived at station, a thunder of people dashed on me and took me with them. But then I stopped, looked for that beautiful face, worried & lost. Someone asked tapping on my shoulder “looking for someone special??” I turned, it was Her with best blazing smile. I move toward her with open arms for hug but she stopped me looking at people around us. She took my hand, put some paper in it & said “Happy journey my Dah’ling…” 

 

So in reality nothing happens as you dream. But it was far better experience to see your loved ones & best ones. For me Love Maggi was about loving loved ones in 2 mins. Expressions expressed, feeling felt, words understood and love made in 2mins. It was LOVE cooked & made in 2 mins.  That touch in crowd, that moment of rush when world stops & that skip of heart beat when I found her, her smile, her usual look but very special way of looking at me, making me feel special, made my Love Maggi exceptional, lovable & Yes a Delicious Treat!!!!!

Adieu 2012

Adieu 2012

            There are only few moments that made our lives successful, remarkable & worth living in span of many years.

In 2012, I had some of those few moments that made my year successful (in my own words) unforgettable and worth living within a span of 365 days. Moments I lived, experienced and shared with many of my friends, family & few other people which I will be remembering, cherishing, celebrating all my life. At the same time life is not only about Highs and achieving your goals. It’s also about Lows, failures & disappointments.

             I am not ranking any of moments as First or Second or Last because that will be insult of their existence &  importance  in my life. I am just putting them in order my mind recollects them.

    Those days I spent with my friends in Goa, my first ever tour of Goa. That too without informing my family. The reason we went there, the masti we did & moments shared were above expressions & words. I could only Thank my best buddies Nahush, Naresh, Nikhil, Mahendra, Tikaram, & Amol for being there with me. Without you all & Pratik’s money it won’t have happened. Cheers to friendship.

    My experience of working as Assistant Director on the set of our Movie “LASTBENCHERS”. My dream work, a passion I have been keeping in heart for few years. A long distant dream achieved in months. It was a real life experience of “Dream came true”. From being none (zero) and nowhere to being 1^st A.D. was a life journey in itself. I wish I was better with words I could have explained you how I felt & feeling at this moment. I have to THANK my parents& family, for their undying support, faith, confidence & belief in me. Their hopes & positive attitude hold me at hard times. And of course Er.Moreshwar Meshram Sir for his guidelines and life changing instructions, he gave at our first meet. And last but not least My Mentor, My Friend Prajakt Meshram for believing, trusting & having confidence on unknown guy like me. I owe all this, to all of you.

    The day I graduated from my engg college after 7 years with 5.95 CGA (for me it was above distinction). Guys you ask me how it felt and what it means to me and tears may roll down giving you experience of my rock hard journey. That time I felt I was literary GRADUATED for next level and next journey of life. Thanks to all Lecturers for their grace & grades. My family & especially elder bro Sandesh for supporting me financially for 3 long years. And of course my Bhandara friends, my batch mates of 2005 batch, my 3^rd & final yr class mates. It was a long journey in hot desert but you provided me shelter & comfort of cloud over my head.

    My experience of spending 10 days in Vipassna centre of Igatpuri. 10 days without family, friends, mobile, internet, books, paper, music and even without words. In total silence. In search of my own self within myself. The more I experienced lesser I could explain. It was an enlightening and enriching experience for me. I still feel the calmness & solitude inside me. Thanks to my sis Dr.Namrata for her idea & money.

    Along with these moments, those  days & experiences there were few more things that made my year remarkable and memorable such as Nagpur Visit with my Final yr class mates, the days when my friends Naresh, Tikaram & Varun got placed in companies. First time I got selected in a company as Content Writer and of course 1^st day at shoot of my first short film LOVE THEORY & got paid for it. When my sis gifted me t-shirt for shoot & my friend Li’l bought t-shirt by her own money as Diwali present.

              One more thing about this year is that I could not recollect my worst moments or worst day, awful experiences readily. I thought  for some time & what pop ups was nothing except recent bad news of my best friend Nikhil’s mother’s demise, one night fight between my friend & his gf. And other disappointments I had were not being able to give any gifts to my lovely sis on her B’day or in Rakhi, not giving my B’day party to friends and not being able to celebrate my little success with friends & family. But I know these disappointments will be soon replaced by celebrations & new memories.

                   So 2012 has left many things for 2013 to continue, complete & cherish. I hope & wish 2013 gets bigger, better & brighter each day.

                                    Adieu 2012….

Best Regards

 2013…
