UNSPOKEN...........(short story)

                I can't recollect whether it was raining .....but for sure, no traces of sun's rays were present then......, the place around wore the color of my heart....
The silence that echoed within us was blaring out loud....we stood there staring into each other's eyes...but, i couldn't meet his gaze...the very same eyes into which i had the power to stare unblinkingly seemed to evoke the piled up emotions.....the questions he had and the silence i had to offer made me look away from his powerful gaze....
Words we had to exchange was a solid "good bye"....but, behind it stood the endless queries...the thousand whys...the unpainted dreams.. and the suffocating guilt..............
I always knew it was never going to be easy...but i thought i could..........his very presence had made me lose all my rational consciousness and the never ending tears in my eyes made me doubt the rain too.......
He didn't ask me why i was doing that , he never shouted, he didn't question me.... never called me a cheat...all he did was stare into my eyes and it had the potential above all, to pierce into me ...it hit me hard, bleeding me, wounding me even deeply....   Perhaps he knew the love i had for him was pressed down deep into my heart and i was his forever........
Silence seemed to communicate between us and then i took my steps away from him....somewhere i longed for him to stop me....call me back....but i knew he had always done that...and even if he did say that loud i will have to walk way.......the final word he told was 'take care' and i knew i was cared forever.....................

part 2: my exp with coaching classes....

entrance coaching classes at pc thomas centre was a learning experience for me in many ways ......i learnt lot  out of  it..... from somebody who calls 11 late night...i discovered it is a cool morning time as kids here established.....staying awake around 1 and 2( pm...obviously) was  a skill i acquired from there....the art of blindly believing in  inky pinky ponky and oh god plz tell and circling out a,b ,c.d.e.options in omr sheet made me realize at times u can be lucky wid ur gusses but most of the time my luck backfired......and the most unique ability i developed from there was to sit in class without passing chits.......(but of course the frequent firings , tauntings and the awareness of the camera invading on to ur privacy made me develop the talent towards the end of 10 day coaching classs......)...so...in short i learnt a lot out of pc thomas classes other than the subjects they taught.....:P..but let me tell you i have absolutely zero regrets in not byhearting the thousand mcq's they taught there because i had learnt something which was more important...the art of surviving in an entrance coaching centre...the foundations to which was laid strong from there and ofcourse that was the only thing that accompanied me from here to my next venture....and luv u for dat thomas sir.......
