Drums or Surya-- Her fantasy?!

Friends request you to set them up with someone you know on a blind date.. Yes no big deal..
Friends directly approach you for a date.. Fair enough..
But your best friend approaches your brother through you...
Really??! Then we owe each other a hi-fi!

Hi all!! Here is a post dedicated to the sisters who have handsome brothers and who have had bad experiences due to these brothers...

Its been 4 years now since this happened. But somehow i m unable to get over it! One, it has not repeated ever since and two, i kind of like to remember this when am down(the evil me!). Lets rewind 4 years back, to that particular date...


Time : 8 05 AM
Subject: Mathematics

The classroom yet has not been opened and the school starts at 8 00 AM! Its games hour at 9 00 AM. Teachers usually compensate the lost minutes in the next class and most of the days this is the scenario. In a 45 minute lunch hour if 25 minutes get utilized by teachers on the grounds of 'compensation', it is no big surprise for us! and in the rest 20 minutes, if the teacher comes in 5 minutes early and says 'students we missed some time in the last class yesterday(which would be due to the time taken for her to walk down from the class ADJACENT OURS TO OUR CLASS), so i do not think you students would complain!'
'No ma'am..' Sings the class in chorus! Apart from the 5 minutes for having our lunch, we actuate the rest 10 minutes in games like pen fight, book cricket, stone-paper-scissors and of course the chalk fights. Most of you, am sure, have been indulged in similar sort of activities!

Alas! The classroom opens at 8 10 AM (**** chemistry class attender!) Never mind :) To our surprise the math ma'am is already there.
'Good morning ma'am'.. Not chorus this time. She gets annoyed! 'Not a single day can this class wish me properly! Who wants your Good Morning! Settle down soon at least!' If she does not want our morning wish, why shout! **** ... Never mind again :)

Time: 9 15AM
Subject: Ideally games!

Ideally games?? Yeah, she has still not walked off the class. 'Ma'am its 9 15AM and sports sir had called the boys to be there in the ground for some rehearsal.'
'Some rehearsal?! You do not know what the rehearsal is? And you want to go? You think am so dumb to not understand what you are up to?'
'Ma'am, Suresh is right. Boys(he stressed) are supposed to assemble there.' Said Guhan(brilliant boy in the class and obviously her pet!!! hmph!!)
'Oh! Guhan.. You could have told me this before. I would not have held up the class for so long. Carry on boys..' She sure is dumb, isn't she?! And boys??!!! Why not girls?
'And girls..' We stand up, already packed our bags and just leave our place 'would take up the extra problems i shall dictate now. Boys, do not forget to take the problems. Guhan ensure they do!' She finished. That was ridiculous, atrocious! Guys will remain selfish for the rest of their lives. The extra problems are over and time is 9 25AM already. We rush to the ground.
'Can you girls never be on time?! Why are girls so not interested in games! You people know only to hog and comment. No activities!! Look at guys, or the only sincere guy...' Our sports teacher went on and on..
'Guhan!!!!!' We sang in chorus! God knows, how he impresses teachers... ahhhh!!!!!

When all subjects have compensations, games hour has never got one! So we get down in the lunch break, yeah the ten minutes break too, actually most of the days its 15 as we skip our lunches! But today, the next hour class got cancelled and math teacher had called for Guhan to dictate the extra problems! This message never reached Guhan as he was busy impressing our newly appointed English ma'am!! Told you, Guhan is an all-rounder...

We carried on playing Volleyball - Girls Vs Boys for the next one and half hours. The bell rang and we had to leave the ground.... Well i know, do not get frustrated, but the really story begins now! :D

My friend, lets call her Jothika (Jo) and lets call my bro, umm Surya :D. Common guys, its rude to reveal their identities!! ;)

Jo comes down to me and says 'Mind blowing !! What do you think?'
'Sure Jo.. I loved the last match. Best of the 3 we playe..'
I was not done with my statement and she cut it down saying 'Dumbo, not the match.. That guy out there!! Looks like our junior'
'Ahh!! Where?? I cannot see..'
Poor me and my sight!!
'Over there..' She pointed at a tree close to physics lab.. But i was watching the one near chemistry lab!! Seriously, heights of dumbness!!!
'Ahh, ya.. He's awesome' I said, finally!!
'He left long back. Who are you looking at idiot!' Ahhh!! I hate myself....

Another friend(Sreiya??!, alright?) joins us..
'Mind blowing ...' I was smart now and even before Srei could finish saying something about the guy i said 'I know but i did not see him. That's what Jo said too..' Ok!! I kinda guessed with her expressions i had messed up something!
'I'm talking about the match!!' She said.. I told you i guessed!
Crazy female, she thought and she left. Jo and myself, we were left alone again..

'You know Swe, some four years back, it was fun in here. You were not from this school then, were you?'
'No Jo.. But yeah, why not now? The school is still good now..'
'There's a difference between good and fun Swe, you wouldn't understand..'
'Oh!!.. Hmmm.. If you think so.. But yeah, my bro's told me about his schooling too...'
As always i was cut down from my conversation.
'4 years and before that, the school had the handsome set of guys. And i knew everyone, i mean the 4 year seniors!'
'Oh!! Then you must have...'
Again...
'Surya... ummm... My God!! He was talented..' Ohh no! But yeah, there were 2 Surya's then..
'Which Surya are you talking about??! The one who played the flute?!'
'Yeah.. He was brilliant.. And our SPL was too cute..'
'Oh! ok.. I do not know.'
'Obviously, how would you know??!! But there was this Surya who played drums.. I was a major fan of him.'
I was confused! Drums or Surya- which was her fantasy!!
'Correction Jo, you mean his drums and talent!' Keeping my fingers crossed! Still expecting to hear the worse!
'Common Swe, would i not know what i'm talking about?!!' She was right, she would certainly not make a mistake of her crush, would she!!
'Jo.. Common.. Lets talk something else..' I was afraid i was gonna burst out and she being one of my best friends, never had the heart to hurt her..
'We were very close and he had played drums for the songs i've sung..' Guys, that is awesome chemistry but why do I have to know this?!! Was I the only soul she could spot in a class of 43 leaving the 2 of us! And that was it.. I lost it, my tolerance and self-controllability! Surpassed my threshold long back and i said..
'I cannot accept you as my sis-in-law!! Am sorry..'
'What the...'
For a change, i cut someone down...
'He's my bro...'
'What???!!!'

Hahahaaa....

By the way.. All characters mentioned are alone fictitious and the incident is not. Resemblance to anyone living or dead or in coma is purely intentional! :) Should i have said this in the beginning?? Never mind, i have messed up enough. This would make no big difference!

I think of it, i laugh heartily today. Cannot believe we had such conversations 4 years ago. Seems a long past, but to me its an incident(or accident??!) that occurred yesterday! Sorry Surya and Jo, I mean my bro and my best friend.. But this being the place where i am myself, this blog had to be a part of this.. You guys complete me.. Not as couple though :D To this date she remains my best friend and we have shared lot many things. Bro, he's still the smartest guy!!
