New neighbourhood part-2. Girl in every next door..

At last I discovered some patience in me in order to write about the Cupids involvement in the surrounding (new neighborhood)

This Greek dude is very powerful; he tried to hit me with his arrow of love but he either missed or restrained the thought by realizing that ‘not this time’, the sober part is he repeats the same statement every time and he failed to rationalize that when my time is gone, all his arrows will be wasted for nothing.

Now, in my neighborhood I missed two cupids and third one will be missing in no time. As I don’t know the names, let us assume Pinky, Rinky and Vinky. Oops sorry.!!  I haven’t got any better names. They are not my daughters to Google in order to sort out the suitable and fancy names and also I am no resident of US who keep some sanskrit tongue-twister names which yields some divine meaning..!!! 

Following the queue,

The first one I peeked at and still doing is Pinky, the one at my 1‘0’ clock like they say in defence. Assuming the plane I stand is 180⁰, when I stand on the plane, she stays at 60⁰. In the initial days, I haven’t observed much but later on as I am busy doing nothing, I used to sit and watch while playing with a ‘destructive invention’ mobile outside my home. She is very selective in what she wears: she hates too much fabric on her I think. Her house resides nearly 50 foot from ours diagonally; this is making me hard to see her face apart from clearly assessing whether she is male or female. She too hangs along with her mobile 24/7 and circulates the whole slab like a moon around earth (may be her job is to find whether there is any enlargement in slab or not on daily basis, glad she is fulfilling her job successfully and I want to find out who assigned her so that I can find my own to measure our house (technically not ours, owners)). Whenever I come out, I see her sitting, walking or even standing like a tied up zombie without bothering about our five forces of existence. Occasionally, while buying potatoes or tomatoes or chocos in the nearby retailer we waited together, but I hadn’t dared to see her face and avoided every time. Mistakenly I have seen twice and I almost chocked myself in (not that she is not attractive but I failed to deduce the reason). My guru is in the next building, and my Saturn is in my mamas garage at that time.(ya, almost every time)

Unwilling to admit the fact that I used to ogle at her house every time I come out of my home, as I watch her from distance, I found out the difference from day to day and found out there lies Rinky and felt like cupid is near to me with his arrows and I am enjoying the sight. It is like a ladies hostel showing up a woman a day. Even though I curse about a college uniforms, it helps every guy or gal a lot while tracking his/her crushes. I came to know that she is also a techie gal in local college. One day I have seen her going out of her house and waited while at the end and some guy used to come and pick her and they rode as happily ever, this carried out again and I deduced he is definitely no cousin type according to their body language. Now where is my cupid anyways?! Ya.!! He is lost somewhere in samakhyandhra protests. After a month of my heart break, her family is replaced with a to-let board. Realizing the fact that life goes on.! With an optimist look I came back to Pinky. She too broke my heart when one of my brother’s friends came and asked in a bewildered tone “what?? Does she live here?” pointing to pinky. First punch was she is a (+2) student, and the second punch: After facing his question, I don’t want to listen to the later part of conversation as it is something every boy faces in his vigorous hormone generation period.

Now the next image Vinky, smart phone girl, her mobile resembles the mini size slate we used in our childhood. Walking with a stylish hip (err..!!) I only saw her rear view while walking away from me in a near view. As far I assumed she is staying in a college hostel either a techie or doc (as she shows up only on weekend and holidays, may be on her engagement in the coming days). I have seen her only twice or thrice as far as I remember and failed in seeing her face too till now: In our last pongal vacation, sitting in the balcony while talking to my dearest friend on phone and that gal too talking on her slate and blushing in periodic intervals. Grr.!! With her blushing my intuition struck somewhere, I too continued my call so that I can witness more blushing and can complain it to her mom if she blushes to someone other than me after our meet.

 To my misery once two kids showed up in her balcony, and with a grin eye I witnessed a lady clearing the sediments of nuclear blast inside the diaper of a child and that lady resembles Vinky. Even though I haven’t seen her face, but I cant believe that she is married and gosh..!! Mother of two children!!!. I threw all my hopes outside and cursed my stars for not showing minimum humanity on me. My HOD is far better than these sin stars. With his pathetic Oriyan English he forgives us in the end.  Even though we never succeeded in understanding all words in a sentence spoken by him, using our diluted brains we assumed missing words and digests the outcome. Gawdd..!! that was disgusting and I loved it.

I felt like I am drowning in sea, the hope came later: another gal showed up along with that mom and later confirmed that those are siblings and yes vinky is not yet married..!! ha ha..!!

Lucky her, after that huge misunderstanding I haven’t seen that girl, whenever I gave a look at that corner her dad or mom or kids appeared. Curse the hostels and the distance relations. Why cant a girl stay in the home and study in the local colleges so that I at-least ended up somewhere in the cycle of teenage relation (even though I crossed teenage).

New neighbourhood part-1

It’s been nearly 8 (+1) months we shifted to a new rented house. We reside on the first floor while owners grounded under us.

The new place is really a nice and cool neighbourhood with added greenery in the whole street apart from our plot (as the owners dad fears that snakes and other rare species are born only to bite his ass while walking out of the door..!! poor animals). Our street is a diversion from the main road and end at other side, so it is an open loop: the one who enters have to exit in the same way one entered. This makes our neighbourhood so pleasant with little traffic and less snores of bikers who always test their horns working condition or maybe a Romeo signalling to his (n+1)^th Juliet or vice-verse, times changed pal, sucked up technology is making everything possible . Our street contains 20 to 30 houses packed in 10 to 12 buildings.

I hadn’t observed much about my neighbourhood apart from the owner aunt who is younger than my mom. Literally, she made such an epic impression which made me ‘neighbourhood’ as my last priority in to-do list. She asks and explains everything to my mom right from how a pressure cooker stops whistling exactly after her second snore of the whistle and then running mute to chemical reactions occurred while used her detergent powder with the number of ions transferred or involved while bonding. I don’t bother about her explanations but what made my head go round is she still expects the explanation for those clueless events. Huh..!!! Unlucky uncle it seems..!!

She is the first one I see while opening my eyes and it is my daily routine now, one thing I hate is she doesn’t like to pluck the guava from the small tree downstairs. I think she wants to do a research on what would be the cell size of the fruit after falling down by the act of ripening. (If I get to know that she is fascinated after Isaac Newton’s theory, I definitely support her to pursue) I didn’t gave a chance to her research, I pluck and digest every piece when I find something about to ripen and if is eatable.( Even though  she didn’t complained atleast once),but I love to disappoint her. I used to tell to my mom whenever I pick one, so that she will cover the balance sheet of ‘no. of guavas on tree on { 'x+1' date, 'n' month, 'z+1' year} whenever my aunt puts up a worried face. That worried face seems like ‘she watched Manchu Lakskhmi’s directed cum acted movie.’

Everyone in her family is somehow related to us except aunt. Owner uncle i.e., aunts husband is a friend of my mama, her both sons studying 7^th and 5^th standard are my niece and nephew classmates respectively. Uncle’s father is an unknown, later on we found that he used to works along with my dad’s cousin, uncles mother is a close relative to my old neighbour aunt. It reminds me of peculiar southie families and their known establishments, even though one can’t be related directly but I bet they will sort out some kind of relation by deducing from grandfathers time. This makes them close to us and the only aunt is not related directly person. She passes on the daily updates to my mom. As a son I can feel my mom’s compressed anger and frustration on time and on her fate. Newton and Pascal will die in shock after calculating the value of both. We failed to tolerate and decided to leave their privacy. The best part is she comes alone i.e., without gangs. I often find in some serials and movies where a big bunch of ladies visits victim’s house and spices up the discussion starting from new golden hair to the Edward Snowden’s wife loneliness.

She never rests to ask me “Don’t you have college today?” She is asking me the same question whenever I answer the door right from my fourth year of graduation (I stayed in home more than college). She still asks me the same even after completion. I mentioned her whenever I feel disguised about myself that I completed my course and now waiting to go out of this neighbourhood, but to my misery in the next meet she again flashes the same question with same amplitude and modulation “Don’t you have college today” followed by “Is your mom in home?” My lab faculty D.V.R will be astonished to her accuracy and precision in the values of amplitude and frequency every time she puts up those questions.  Even my college faculty and friends never bothered about my presence in college, what is your problem in me not attending the college?  Let her questions rest in peace..!!

There is another aunt to discuss about. She stays beside our house in the next plot, but it is almost attached to our house. She is the previous tenant in our house. Her husband transferred to other place so they moved.  After they moved, we occupied it. Stars are not favoring them, they again moved here and inquired about the same house and got to know that we already reserved it. She is lucky she got an empty one just beside to her/our house. For the same reason or so I find her sometimes watching the walls and building may be good old times. She is very generous and kind hearted lady and is native of U.P state. She can’t speak Telugu apart from understanding one or two words when someone spoke to her. I am fascinated to her paranthas and always exchanges with our sambar idlis and yes appam’s.

       They wake up usually at 5 A.M just after I switch off my lights and then I start my sleep period. It is like US-India time differences and I am habituated to..(err..!! ya, she is the one who habituated to my room lights).

P.S: As my daily routine starts from afternoon or so, I am unable to see any of the male neighbours due to the work hours. That’s why I can’t put them here. That’s it, don’t even think about partiality or gender domination.
