It all began on 10th July...
I was very sure that I will be meeting this guy whom I so fondly call 'Grasshopper'... i was dead sure of that. Grasshopper promised his penguin on 9th of July, that he will be coming to the railway station to receive her... at least to welcome her! Somehow, Grashopper does not know that Penguin really knows him in and out... she knew it he would not be able to make it.
The train finally halted at the Chennai Central Station at 8.10 in the morning. Penguin was wide awake since 6.30... she had so many things to think about rather than sleeping that morning. As soon as she reached Chennai, she took her side-bag and ran towards the gate of her coach. Her eyes searched for someone she addressed as Grasshopper. Wasn't she so stupid? She knew he won't be able to make it and still her eyes went searching for him?
1oth July, she planned to meet him for the first time. They met... and you all know what all happened. ;)
That was Grasshopper's side of the story, but you all should be knowing Penguin's version of it... ain't it? Trust me guys, Penguin has never seen such a person ever in her life! Completely impulsive, very easy going, extra comfortable, he just does what his heart tells him to.
Many people would find him to be that kiddo, but no... I have seen that matured (going-to-be) 22 year-old in him sometimes... And when I see that maturity in him, it feels like as if I should just keep on listening to him!
Its so surprising to see or even imagine that someone whom you hardly know can teach you so many things in just a week's time... isn't it?
Penguin met Grasshopper three more times... those three times that has surely changed her perception about many things around her. Yes, she is much more happier now, she has learnt how to take those risks in life and how to enjoy each moment... just the moment no matter what the truth around you is.
As I always say, its sometimes necessary to let go of yourself, flow with the emotions... but that is when reality bites you hard! I am going back to my land... away for the place that has now become so special to me.
