i am a believer
" ... then i saw her face
now i'm a believer
there's not a trace
of doubt in my mind ... "
is there anyone who doesnt believe in love at first sight. ( hey, who's the smartass who said 'the blind ones' ) i certainly do. thats what happened ...
it all started after my sea trial
just finished the sea trial of my ship. the ship's official delivery date has been postponed to feb 17 and the naming ceremony is on the 12th. this ship will be called M.T. DESH SHAKTI. now what would u expect from an indian company. the sea trial went well. ship could float. the food was good (catering was taken up by a wonderful hotel). the machineries performed well initially. the food was a mixture of korean and western cuisine. and then the problems started. the food was good though. one by one, the machineries were found to be lacking in specifications for optimum performance. loved the creamy dessert. they made me work almost 14 hours a day. i gave the chef a compliment. it was tough working after a break of 10 months. did i mention the food was good.
well, screw the sea trial, on to more important stuff ...
am now back in my hotel. korea is still cold. temperatures still in negative. occasional snow showers. if aamir khan were to be here, he'd say "thanda matlab ko ko korea". still u cant stay in all the time. sure went out to the nearby supermarket. thats where i saw her. absolutely stunning. i had never seen anyone so beautiful in a very long time. she was an indian. occasionally i bump into someone indian on the roads. but never someone so amazing. i cant remember what i did after i saw her. could feel the heart beat faster. could feel a fuckin lump in my throat. why does that happen. it took me a while. the words ringing in my head " ... you are just so good to be true, cant take my eyes off you ... " . u know, i am like that. i dont know why but most of the times i like to just admire from a distance. why am i scared. what am i scared abt. denial. maybe. had to do something abt it. thought i'd at least give her a compliment. just one problem. what do i do abt her husband and the kid in her arms.
oh man, this was just so difficult. but i wanted so badly to talk to her. at least i tried. walked up to them. as she saw me coming, there was this instant smile ( it killed me ) that lasted the whole time. said hi. they were also happy to see another indian. the husband spoke, said he worked for the daewoo shipyard. she just smiled. ( oh please say something, anything at all ) no such luck. the man started moving as we spoke. i can take a hint. i dint expect him to be happy abt meeting me. though i was talking to him, my eyes were on her. she kept smiling. how come a woman like her got married to a lousy guy like him. i was feeling jealous at the same time. they moved on. before she got into her car, she turned to look in my direction, the smile intact ...
is that a sign. i think she liked me. i want to believe that. oh so desperately. oh man, she's been haunting me all day. do u think i should go to the supermarket today. she might drop in again.
