Karma and Dance - I

She walked out of the lift. First day at the new place. After 3 job changes the excitement, nervousness of the first day was missing. With some help from HR, she found her desk. She switched on the machine and looked around. Nice, friendly faces she thought to herself as she exchanged smiles with a couple of them. The desk next to her was empty. Though it looked occupied..some ER diagrams, calendar etc posted on the desk.
The day passed like any other 'first day'. As she shutdown her machine and locked her drawer she realized that she was a little late for her dance classes. She was learning for the last 15 years. She never wanted to make a career in dancing but she was more passionate about it than her career. She dashed for the door and ran to board her shuttle. That was one thing she liked about the new workplace - pickup and drop from home.

A fortnight later as she walked to her desk, she noticed the desk next to hers wasn't empty. A smart dressed, bespectacled, tall guy was busy replying to mails. Just then his desk phone rang and he turned around to answer it...

End of an Era..

I woke up with the beep of the mobile.. sms. Saturday, that must be N I thought to myself. One of the 'Wanna meet up?' messages we send each other. That would be nice I thought, only for a second. And then realized it cant be. N got married last Saturday. (I now realize that her reason for being born was NOT just to be my Mall-companion!)

I cant convince myself that weekends together, long conversations over the phone, giggling, exchanging notes at the 11th hour, gossipping, bitching (ya we did that some times), shopping together, laughing for no reason, movies, crying on each others shoulders... is officially over!

The ceremony was wonderful, N looked so stunningly beautiful in the bridal red and for the first time in spite of myself I found tears trickling down my face at the "Vidai". What I felt is beyond words. It felt like I lost a part of my life. As I hugged her, I realized its been so long that I almost forgot how/when we became friends.

N, sweetie ..will miss you tons! Hope we continue to remain a part of each others life....And yes of course Wish you a wonderful wonderful married life!
