.... Chasing a Rainbow ....
CHAPTER - 1
Which came first, lust or love?
For Arjun, Lust deepened his irreversible but unfulfilled Love for Sakshi.
"It ain't over, 'til it's over." Vishal had it right, at least when it came to Sakshi and me.
She introduced herself in my office while I was fixing a bug in our new operating system.
I was in the IT department at the Indemnity Assurance Company and deep in thought when she said, "Hi, I'm Sakshi"
I gave her a fake smile and went back to my problem-solving mission. I wasn't trying to be rude, but that's how she saw it.
Being sociable at that moment would simply be an unacceptable disruption, even though Sakshi was a very attractive girl.
Cute described her best because Sakshi looked like one of our high school interns. It turned out she had been hired as our Sass artificial intelligence expert.
Who would have guessed she was a computer expert?
Sakshi was assigned the office adjacent to mine. That became a welcome diversion. I tried to make amends.
Sakshi wasn't going to forgive me for being uncivil. It took a week before she would even talk to me. I profusely apologized and said, "Let's bury the hatchet.
Let me take you out for a Soft drink." She said NO . I tried humor,
"Moses had the first tablet that could connect to the cloud." Ha ha ha .She called me a jerk.
I tried again. "How about this one?" I asked. "I love pressing F5("Refresh"). It's sore freshing."
Her eyes rolled. Okay, you can't win 'em all but like I said, it wasn't over. I tried the after work drink idea again with the same result.
When her birthday came up on the company mail system, I sent her flowers. She said she didn't like dandelions.
They were yellow daisies. My masculinity was being challenged, so I kept trying. There was a breakthrough at an office party.
It was an after-work affair at a Party. There was lot of fun music flowing and everyone was in high spirits, including Sakshi.
It was a tough situation watching the male staff buzzing around her like drones on their queen. I was the drone that wasn't included. Fortified with three drinks , I gathered up the courage to ask Sakshi for a date. She said, "Sure,"
like when you agree only to get someone to leave you alone. At work, I asked Sakshi when she was free.
"Free for what?" she asked. "Our date. You agreed to have a date with me."
"I did? I must have been drunk." "Drunk or not, when are you free?" We negotiated and settled on having lunch together. It didn't happen.
Hows it...
