Tum Mile...

It is a lonely night in the city of Edinburgh. Gasping and coughing, I am about to go off to sleep..

But I am unable to sleep for one reason or the other. I think I could browse my cellphone for some songs and play them for a while..

I am seeing the list and one songs strikes the chord immediately..

Its Tum Mile, the title song of the movie of the same name, sung by Neeraj Shreedhar..

My mind goes back by 1 year 4 months and a few days..

I had just finished my DBT exam and was coming back from exam centre to home. Paper was fabulous. Immediately after the paper, I called up my then best Friend Kranthi. She had been my motivation for writing these exams. After the call, I started the music player on cellphone and first song I played was Tum Mile..

Bus was running fast and I started thinking. Somehow every word of the song reminded me of Kranthi. How quickly we became friends, how she took care of me and how with her charm, she had taken me out of depression I had come to Bangalore with. I was in the bus and the entire last 6 months were flashing back in front of my eyes..

As friends, we had discussed many things. She also suggested some ways to find better jobs.

To be honest, I have interacted with quite a few girls and I have seen very few selfless girls like Kranthi. She is someone who would literally sacrifice her life for people she consider her own..

While I was thinking all this, I realised that I was wearing a brown chequered shirt. It is the one in which I had asked for her advice in choosing. She was the first one to point out that I wear oversized shirts. And yes indeed, my shirts were indeed oversized. Looking at the shirt brings a smile on my face..

The song was continuing in the background and my thinking, well they say mind thinks faster than speed of light. I don’t know about others, but in these things, mine definitely works fast..

The song ended. But it had given a stimulus for the remaining journey. Remember Bangalore is a big city and coming all the way from banashankari to kundalahalli is a herculean task which takes minimum two hours..(Sorry for my nasty habit of getting into details..)

I was thinking of all the occurrences in the past and a question popped into my mind. The ‘D’ question for every guy. Am I in love? Has the cupid struck me?

My heart wanted to say yes and my head, ‘a big no’. I thought of her. Poor girl dint even know what all I was thinking about sitting in the bus..
As usual I practised restraint. For many of you guys, it would be hard to believe that I can also be patient at times.

What happened later also needs to blogged but that’s not the purpose of this blog..

This is about the song Tum Mile and the reminiscences associated with it..

And yes, still the every word of the song reminds me of her

Dedicating to my sweetheart..
