I am warning you upright, I am an oogler, that's my source of entertainment and gossip, how can any self respecting woman live without the fodder of gossip is beyond me! Other than an oogler, I am also a trained violinist and pianist, hence my reason for admitting myself to S.P.A.C.E. Today is my first day, first class here,
Ohhh... don't get me wrong S.P.A.C.E lives up to its legend of being the biggest and largest music academy in India, it's just that it is filled with artists. Everybody has misconception that artists are interesting and happening people, but I know they are singularly and artistically focused, that means NO DRAMA...
Sitting here in the cafeteria with my two newly made friends, I am hoping for just that ...drama... ohh you would crave too, if you were home schooled for 14 years of your life...
My ogling continues, rule one of ogling never be idle, always keep busy have your mobile, laptop or kindle with you , headphone on for added effect of looking busy... so I was doing just that fidgeting with my lappy , listening to my friends gossip about the college, for more than 45 mins but no Drama...
Well well, what do you know, good things comes to all who wait patiently... Who is this handsome devil???
"Ohh Pooja!! Look here Manik's here, said my newly made friend Manisha to Pooja, my other friend... "I hear there is conflict going between Manik and Dhruv, its seems Dhruv replaced him for the fusion concert... "Manisha continued...
I knew that Manik was the lead singer and guitarist of the infamous Band FAB 5, the star attraction of S.P.A.C.E. but never knew that the person in real would be a 6 feet, razor sharp jawed, intense eyes, lean muscular body and an attitude to rival Lucifer himself... this guy walked or strutted like he owed this joint .. Which I hear he technically did!!!
God... This must how it felt to be in presence of a Rockstar... well I always prided myself in seeing beyond the surface... So ogling continues...
Manik looked like he knew everyone was watching him or gawking at him, but he looked like he was cared a damn...There was something about him... He wasn't just dominating presence but like an air of suppressed energy surrounded him...Like he was restless with it...His eyes...Apart from being gorgeous (duly noted) were a little lost, as if he is searching for someone or something...
I forcibly diverted my attention to the guy beside him.
Rule 2 of ogling... never ogle for more than 30 sec...may seem short time but to an experienced eye it's enough (my .. my experienced eyes!!!)
Now this guy, he was good-looking, shorter than Manik , came waving at people, means he is well liked and looks happy go lucky types...
That's Cabir, with a C', said my friend Manisha noticing my attention,
"so he is the drummer of Fab 5 and also the new RJ from what I hear, impressively multitalented and good looking.. Does he??? "I asked
"also very GAY" said Pooja with a sigh.
Of course... either they are taken or are Gays, saga of every single girl...Well continue oogling
These two were suddenly interrupted by a girl, who came out of nowhere,
Pretty, Traditional and what looked liked talks without stopping...
"Navya, stop breathe ".. Said Cabir ... "now continue... what happened to the keys? In which gutter?"
So she continued... Manik already disinterested was looking beyond Navya.. His eyes still searching..
Suddenly his whole composure changed, his eyes focused intensely...like Ajay Devgan intense and I think his breathing hitched a little , can't say for sure because of the distance, but the real transformation was his body, it still all that energy and restlessness was replaced by a controlled, directed and channeling towards the source of his attention..It's like there was an invisible gravitational pull towards it..
Ohh this is getting interesting...never have I ever seen a guy look like that, that singular rapt attention almost akin to rapture... What must it be like to be the focus of that look?
Apparently the subject of his attention was blissfully unaware of the havoc she has created in this guys senses...
Inspite of being a woman (an envious one now) I must say, this girl was worth the attention given to her. Serene, calm, doe eye, graceful, lips that rivaled that of Jolie, she was wearing a long blue skrit and a white top with a pink stole wrapped around her neck, her hair was open and braided at one side, long and silky..She looked like an angel walking on earth... no wonder the look of rapture on Manik's face.
Someone called her from behind... "NANDINI". ..
She halted in her steps, this guy asked her something and she smiled at him and started searching her pink jola for something... Now this guy you can say was probably half besotted by Nandini , the way he was gawking at her.. Suddenly someone came rushing behind and pushed Nandini , she almost lost her balanced but this guy took hold of her arms and steadied her..
Meanwhile, on the other side a volcano was close to erupting...Manik it seemed like was close to bursting, if the taunt cheeks of his face was any indication...ohh this guy didn't like his angel being touched by any measly mortal.
My eyes and several others in the cafeteria, I noticed were like a tennis match scene, watching this Drama unfolding..
I counted tick tick one...Tick tick two
I reached nine.. The guy with Nandini was still not done steadying her it seemed, before I reached fifteen, Manik reached him, he shook the guys hands off of Nandini and took hold of her hand gently drew her beside him all the while looking daggers at the poor soul (the look on the face.. he knew he was done for)
Manik uttered a single clipped word "out". I would say practically roared with it.
I have never in my 19 years seen a human vanish into thin air, like this guy managed to do...
Such blatant display of possessiveness, I was undone... I wanted Drama I am getting a full on movie here... worth it!
Nandini it seems was used to this; she was smiling like a minx and looking with adoration at her green-with- jealousy Hulk of a man.
Manik turned to her, checked her from head to toe for injury it seems and then looked into her eyes with such care , anger, possessiveness , lust...no not lust , that look was of longing.. A longing of not body but a parched soul, drinking her presence and consuming every bit of it.
GOD...he LOVES her! No man can look at a woman like that and not be in love with her.
Nandini took her hand and slightly caressed his jaw and smiled as id assuring him that she was all right.
As if coming from a trance, manic shook her hand away and went ahead without a backward glance.
Now that was unexpected and mysterious... a few minutes ago, the man looked at her as if she was sun of his existence and gravitated towards her and now just went away as if he has seen the eclipse..
Hmmm...
"Drama over... Let's go Sangy" my friends called out to me. Class at 10.
Mystery ...I like ... looks like more ogling required, it's going to be fun ogling at S.P.A.C.E , especially when the subjects of ogling are just so oogleworthy!!!

Sorry, for the rant... Didn't expect it would become so long.😳
