It was so strange at the wedding when Dr. Nidhi pulled me to dance with her.

As I lay on my bed down with a viral, just thought I should pen down a few of my thoughts. Memories of Baba still run fresh on my mind. Bringing me to his house, teaching important lessons of life like the significance of a home, music being the medicine for our soul or convincing me to eat when I'm upset with him, each memory still feels like an advice he gave me yesterday.
Back to the present, suddenly life at Dr. Kotnis hospital seems to be moving fast. A fresh batch of promising interns joined the hospital. One of them, Dr. Nidhi, left the hospital in three days of joining while Priyanka got married & invited the entire hospital for the wedding.
Since I am most comfortable with my company & my loneliness, I was very uncomfortable to attend Dr. Priyanka's wedding but Mallika, the one who never gives up insisted that I attend the wedding. Mallika is a great friend; but I have told her since 12 years that we can never go beyond friendship, because I have stopped believing in relationships. The most precious relationship of my life ' Baba betrayed me & left me with so much pain that today I'm scared & scarred. However i don't want to loose my best friend ' Mallika.
It was so strange at the wedding when Dr. Nidhi pulled me to dance with her. It was so uncomfortable but knowing Dr. Nidhi ' the naughty prankster that she is; managed convincing me what nobody else could. At the wedding itself Nurse Dsouza suggested that I ask Dr. Nidhi to resume work at Dr. Kotnish hospital again as the environment and mood at a wedding would be more conducive.
Then Dr Nidhi spilled cold drink on my shirt that Dr. Nidhi can wash off the stain & she did. I was so embarrassed to hand over my shirt to Dr. Nidhi in the bathroom while I was out in my inners (ganji). And then to top it all, my shoes got stolen. I was bare feet for a long time & since I am Priyanka's boss, her mother was embarrassed about the incident & just wouldn't let me go despite several efforts. At last I was given someone's pair of shoes & was asked to drop Nidhi home as her car was towed away.
As we were driving, it started raining. The October rains have a strange emotion attached; in Dr Nidhi's words'you expect rains during the monsoons but the October rains are so unpredictable, so alive. Dr. Nidhi walked out to get drenched in the rains & to my surprise coaxed me to get drenched as well. It was one of my most beautiful moments that I experienced after years'.such immense joy, so much innocence'I just let go of myself & enjoyed every drop falling on me as I relived my past.
Baba & me often got drenched in the rain & had adrak ki chai by the road. I happened to tell dr. Nidhi this & she immediately suggested that we too look for a tea stall'.& there Dr. Nidhi & me sipping hot adrak ki chai in the cold & wet monsoon..loving every bit of the contradiction of nature. Finally I gathered the guts to ask Dr. Nidhi to join back but she refused as she is going to Europe for a month.

Well I will surely miss a good Dr like Dr. Nidhi as she has the ability to fill in your life with her enthusiasm & vibrancy'the children just can't seem to move on after Dr. Nidhi has left the hospital. But I respect her decision & wish her all the best.
Anyway I can barely sit up to write any further with the body ache. I think I have got viral fever. I will have to inform Ranganath that I will have to rest home.
As im resting, coughing & sneezing, putting cold water strips on my forehead the lights go off. Hiraman Kaka went to call the electrician & amongst this darkness emerges Dr. Nidhi holding a candle in her hand - her beauty shining in the candle light - Dr. Nidhi cancelled her Europe trip & paid a visit to me. She questioned me about Baba after watching our pictures together & I just opened my heart to her. I couldn't stop telling her about my past, Baba'.i don't know what a calming effect Dr. Nidhi has.
And then while Dr. Nidhi & me made adrak ki chai together, we laughed more ' since the past few days im have experiencing small moments of joy'as if im getting life back, the doors of life that I have shut suddenly seem to be knocking on my door to give the breeze a chance'.i don't know but i think I'm changing'.why is this happening?
