AR: Back to Basics IMP NOTE PG 37

AR: Back to Basics

(Thanks to Anjana for this....)

I left you with a heavy heart

Looking forward to a new start

The path which lay ahead of me

Was nothing short of mystery

Never did I once thought that I loved you

You are my soul, I am nothing without you

Now that I am broken and shattered

I realize

You are the one to whom I always belonged'

I turn to you, in a hope of finding some love

A sense of belonging that was never there with me

Being with you is most peaceful

It is nothing but bliss

You are the one to whom I always belonged'

******************

With a sweating brow and a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach, she mustered up the courage to go up to the stage and give a brief introduction about herself. Hundreds of pair of eyes lay upon her, watching her every move as she nervously went up.

"Why are behaving like a wreck? You are pretty good at such things'" she tried to calm herself. Dressed in a simple halter neck top with body hugging jeans and boots that reached just below her knees, she looked simple yet ravishing and she was sure to be a centre of attraction.

Stanford University was the one she chose for her higher education. Her parents had put forth an option for Cambridge University as well but she chose States as the place for her education. Why? Her fantasy! The United Kingdom didn't seem to be as cool as the States. And her parents had to give in to her demands; after all, an option of getting into these colleges doesn't come easy.

"Umm' ok. How do I start?" She looked ahead of her scanning the faces to find someone familiar or even if not that may an Indian. "My name is Ridhima Gupta. I hail from India, specifically Delhi. I am here for my bachelor's degree. I am a playful soul, like to hang around with my friends, my hobbies are reading books i.e. I am a bookworm. You give me any book to read, provided it is a good one and that I finish in two days. I am outspoken at times but brutally honest about my feelings. I like to make people laugh. I am very optimistic about life. I believe everyone's here for a reason and before we accomplish that, we cannot go to heaven, or even hell for that matter! I am very sensitive and I fall easily for boys!" A roar went through the card as she said this. Smiling she continued. "I cannot survive without my family and friends and I always form a bond with people around me'" She finished with her introduction with an unsure mile looking at the faces before her. Not finding anything else to say, she finished saying, "I hope you like me' and umm' Thank you!" With this she walked off the stage and Catherine, President of the Students council carried on with the introductions of the freshers.

"I hope she plays along with me and I am sure she will fall for me as well!" He scanned her from top to bottom and blew out a low whistle, inaudible to everyone. "Sexy!" He muttered under his breath as she past by nervously.

"You are not doing that again, are you?" Alex turned to him and asked as he had figured out his intentions by then.

"She is an easy catch buddy and what's the harm in playing around with her for a while? Let that nave chick have a taste of States now that she is here."

"It's no use making you understand something." They high fived each other.

Hey Everyone!

Some of you know me and most of you don't. My name is Swati (Swatzz as a nickname) and I am here once again with my second try at an FF- 'Back to Basics'. I know I should be updating the previous one but this idea has been around for a while and if I hadn't put this up before you, I wonder whether even that one would have been continued or not. I will update both the FFs alternatively from now on, provided this gets a good response which I really hope for.

Please tell me how you find the introduction, bad or good.

I am looking forward to this really and I hope I am not let down.

This is the link for my first FF: The Sense of Infinite Spring. It's an AR story as well.
