Pre-cap
A fragrance or a touch, on my name lingers.
I feel a warm caress of some known fingers.
A spot of yellow flowers & my memory gets a jog,
A ray of golden sunshine pierces the great fog.
The fog of distance, the passage of time,
And a bell rings, a beautiful chime.
The yellow dot turns, in my mind at last.
And a misty face smiles at me. a kin from the past.
This poem surprised me.
The underlined part.. to be specific.
You know we always have this habit of assuming things don't we? And pata hain when we're preparing for CAT our lecturers told us one thing..
Don't assume anything while you read Logical Ability. If he says When the sun rises in west..the moon sets in north..we are supposed to take it as truths and proceed. And we are asked not to assume unless it is mentioned. If we are given Sonia Gandhi, we assume she's the president of INC. It's understood although unstated and this is where we lose marks. We don't assume even though they are universal truths unless it is stated. And i am bringing up this theory as.. we tend to assume Geet as Geet Handa. It may be right. But i was not assuming her to be a Handa. There are many reasons. Some of them being.. they were like one family. So it is weird for him not recognizing her voice. He woke up with her voice remember? And I thought he should atleast recognize her from behind but then he was in half-asleep condition. So that I can understand.. but voice? What about that? But i came up with another theory this time.. voice changes with age..and if they were away for years..then it is possible that he didn't quite recognize her. As Maan was away from India to London.. it explains partly..but as stated above..these were only my assumptions which says Geet is a Handa.
But that one line in the poem strengthened my theory. So Maan knew Geet. Again this is an assumption. Obviously if Geet is a Handa there is no way in hell Maan doesn't know her. AFter all they are family friends. ISn't it?
But the PAST word makes me wonder what they shared in past. Any significance of past here?
My heart skipped a beat as brain processed the words. "Who was she?"
"Today is my first day Sa'ab, so I did not recognize her. I did inquire though. She just smiled and replied that she belongs to this firm and left before I could ask anything further."
You are so damn clever. You made the peon new to office so that he can't say the name of her? Hmph.
As per the underlined words, I was wondering WHY? Why does his heart skipped a beat? There's something amiss here.
That appreciating a flower was a frivolous pursuit for the likes of me. I was only nineteen in my defense. It was only until...
Fir se shuru.. someone should ban these aadhe adhure lines. It increases my curiosity level. 😆
"Yellow orchids are bright, vigorous flowers that enrich our life with their breathtaking magnificence. Generally known as flowers of love, yellow orchids have a rare and delicate beauty that might take your mind in a land of fairytales. Also, yellow orchids are a symbol of royal elegance."
Am i reading too much into the lines or is it just me? Why do I have this feeling that they have a past?
"Have you gone mad? What was that Aditya Handa? Did you enroll in a finishing school while I was away? Where did you scrap this up from?"
Aditya Handa. My mind stopped right there.
One down in Handa parivaar Two to go.
"Well, if you have to tell someone that you are disappointed at them in a subtle undercover way..."
Disappointed in me?!
Disappointed? Hmm I need not repeat my one line again and again like an old tape-recorder. You got me right. Am thinking of it!
The rich of the purple reflected back in my eyes as pride. Pride for the man my best mate has turned out to be. And yet the beige reminded me the warm, down to earth person he was and always will be.
Once again am aping at them. Aww. I am making a note of all these meanings.
"Our whole lot except one. We will celebrate your homecoming..."
Why not? Why not the one person from the lot? They are like a family so WHY NOT? Until it is something big.. maybe another appointment. or if being somewhere else..or simply..some issue? The last thing Can't be.
"Alright, see you in evening. And best of luck for Sunday."
Dog!
No matter how hard I willed, the yellow-gold of Sunday was yet beyond my reach.
I already asked you and you didn't tell me. There's something special on sunday and that has to do with Nanhi. And Nanhi-Maan has something big planned up their sleeve. Oh am impatiently waiting!😍
