$$ Excuse Me! If you don’t mind can you adjust my excess luggage on your Boarding Pass?
Certainly, he said. $$
We queued up in line and when it was his turn, he mumbled something to this girl at the counter and all was done. He handed over my boarding pass. And he became invisible after I thanked him.
I boarded GoAir and was well seated. There was this girl sitting on my left and the right was not yet occupied. And…. here I see, the guy who helped me sits beside me.
I had this heavy baggage cos I said Goodbye to my Mumbai :( My father had not been keeping well as he was admitted in ICU for the 2nd time and was fighting for his life. Consequence of being a “Chimney”, in other words, chain smoker. Trust me! want a slow, gradual and rotten death - puff poison equivalent!! Huh…No wonder why I hate SMOKERS …Anyways, I decided to leave my job and be with family…also my brother’s wedding was on roll.
My brother had given me the TIPS as to ask help from some traveler to adjust my luggage with his/hers. And to my least expectations it did happen. God’s grace! Firstly, I was at peace of not struggling with so much packing and secondly, heard good news of papa recovering and getting shifted to deluxe ward.
$$ Hi, I’m Vivek Lodha.
{I gave a pleasing smile. I am always uncomfortable opening my mouth to strangers as I am least interested…No mater how hot he is :P}
I am returning from Goa after lovely vacations. Though I have landed a month back from New York. Guess, what’s my qualification?
(I nodded my head as in No, I dunno!) I’m IIT from Mumbai. I worked in New York for 6 months that changed my life entirely. My father owns huge business and now I am looking after his Empire.(How braggy huh!! ) I stay in Jaipur. And You know what, I got this free return ticket from Mumbai to Jaipur as I am a frequent flyer by this airline...... $$
Trust me till now I haven’t uttered a single word.. Phew….
No one in the flight talked as it was morning hours and all had been either involved reading newspaper or some taking good nap. But…. What I see….. diagonally opposite to me( as in eye view)… This little girl is sitting with both her legs on arm rest with both her elbows resting on her laps and hands on her cheeks. She was so dedicatedly staring and listening to one sided conversation.
I could not be rude to this stranger any which ways. I kept giving smirks which I never was willing to. I was very tired, upset as left Mumbai and tensed cos of my father.
And yeah how can I not mention. I hate traveling in flights :( be it the shortest distance. I feel as if my ear drums bleed. Ahhgg.... and already that ‘radio mirchi’ beside me.. What a crap! One and a half hours… I had to spend with that guy… But he was quite a dashing personality ;)
In between, I excused him again and asked if he could exchange seats. He denied :( and said I like the corner seat. It made no sense giving him any explanation as he started with his own talks. I actually was bearing his flirts. Mommaa…
He then blabbers……..
$$ Oh! So u like Sanjana of Pyaar tho Hona Hi tha…$$
I was like what the F*** … He tried to explain me the particular shot when Kajol is chanting Holy as flight is on run way and is about to take off. Ajay Devgan talks makes her gain his attention and she forgets all and blah blah blah… huh...as always I smirked. He had been given so many hints of not interested in his conversation. But him shameless. He himself boosted that how can one keep quiet in the entire journey. How boring things become if no interaction, no conversation.I was like hmmm... I was looking at my watch- It was an hour more flight. How could he resist not saying anything. Well well… I thought I have no option than be patient n talk if given permission and yeah patiently listen to his never ending story.
So, I thought to gave him rest for a minute and meantime he can answer my query. I just asked as to which batch he was in IIT. What a surprise…. He had known some of his seniors and have heard my brother’s name.. And yeah must to mention…Love story of Samy Bhiya and Shikha Di (my bro’s best frens…. Wonder how famous their story is..anyways…)
In that hour he told me all about his affairs, his purpose of visit to Goa, with the girls he stayed in Goa, what kind of a life partner he was looking forward to, his affair with this married woman in New York who’s husband a Chef in some Hotel, her kid he loved, that kids acts, his peg of kiss(es), his…………………

Holy!!! he spoke to me of everything. Damn Damn…. Here in my mind I was counting every minute. In that vacuumed flight there was only one voice that could be heard and it was HIS… It never looked to me as if it was our first meeting. Though I never gave him much details about me… He could also talk about my nature.. Bull shit!! He was shooting arrows in the dark…
I felt he was all at this best to impress in every way…. N hey… that little girl … she had good entertainment I suppose, as she was so stuck for one and a half hour…. what a Guy… Gawd….. Even the air hostess who passed by had that typical smile to pass while he had been conversing… But for once… I had actually forgotten all my tiredness and tension and everything….. Cos I think to some extent I got Chemically Involved :P { I just phrased it.. even I dunno what I mean by Chemically Involved lol…..but I’m sure it holds some meaning….lol}
Announcement -----Yipeeee,,,, I was sooooooooooo happy :: I gave a BIG smile… and how could he fail to comment or rather compliment my smile and looks… grrrr… I believe I was attacked by a Grizzly Bear,,,,, heheh….. But ain’t I heights of Patience …. :P
The flight landed. He got off and was waiting by the stairway.. Mannnnnn… his willingness is too determined… lol… Like a gentleman, asked if he can help with my hand baggage.. I thanked him. We shook hands.. Said nice meeting you.. And then he asked to keep in touch…. Finally I said… Thank you again… It was nice talking to you.. and I think we were meant to know each other till here only.. :P
And now this time he had nothing to say.. I was stringent with my words….. I know.. But I Think I was Right…. Last he saw me was at the conveyer belt with not wanting to leave without exchanging numbers. Alas! I am Hopeless, I think he realised :P He left!!! and I was now in car … and on the way, MAMA gave me a technique to rejuvenate my eardrums ...
