Chapter 2
Sonnets
He decided to propose her. How to propose a girl? “I will got straight to her and say …..Say what? I love U no no, I am interested on U ho No… No, Will u marry me? Definitely not that because I am not interested in a marria ge now .Or I have a heart for u...But I should be careful as there is a 80 to 99 percent chance of getting a slap on the face. I have to look for astrological prediction before doing that” Anosh’s thoughts gone like that.
After the re-test he went straight to library if he can get one book of digital electronics for the exams. In the library there were different sections for electronics books computer science book, mechanical books. He went to electronics section .Lucky he did not find and any books about digital electronics. That means the weight of his bag reduced and he got a new excuse if he get a failed. Dual advantage.
Near the digital section there was a small rack with non technical books. Anosh always surprised see books Novels, Stories etc in the middle of all technical books in an Engineering college library. Harry potter first two books ,Shelock Homes,Some memory improvement techniques , quantum physics and some books language improvement was there.
He found a book named sonnets with a yellow cover pages. ‘Sonnets, I hared the word some were else”. He took the book and opened. Sonnets are actually poem like writings. The book was about the sonnets of William Shakespeare. He went through the pages “The sonnet about love” sonnet numbered 116 is one of the most famous sonnets. Now he remembered studying it in plus two English.” I am not into the marriage of true minds”
“Anosh Exam books are on the next rack” Tony called him from back. Tony and Anosh are doing there Btech in same class. Anosh made a face for him.
“But nothing left there, everything had taken by others nothing left for me.” He was not very happy with Tony’s advice.” I must do some thing agents this”,” A strike agents all the top students in the class those who took the entire book before I get up in the morning”.
“Ha ha “Tony returned a smile.
“Is that a book of digital electronics that you are holding?”
“Yap I took it to take Xerox my library card is full”.
“Ho thanks God” The dual advantage gone.” I was looking for that”
Tony handed the book to Anosh.
“Are you leaving home today?” Tony asked
“Yes ,In the evening”
After lunch he spend rest of time in the library he took a bundle of Xerox .There was a photo stat machine in the library .And there will be a huge rush at the time as the exam week comes near. It is already late for bus. Anosh show the library card and books to librarian. He enters the details of books in computer. Thus he becomes the responsible person of whatever happens to the books. If anything happens to the book he should give a new book in return. That is a universal rule in the library.
Anosh went directly into hostel to his room number 23.His room mates Martin and Saleen already left home yesterday. There were three beds. A bed means something has four legs made of low quality wood. Which can be used to place book, Laptops and can place a sheet called bed sheet and of course we can sleep in it if our smelling sense have some problem.
Then the mobile rang .Anosh’s hello tune was a romantic song from a new Malayalam film.He took the phone.It was an unknown number. “Will it Anita’s new number”.He said “hello”
Answered on the other side “It is calling from customer care would u like to change your hello tunes for just Rs.15 you can select from any of the following hello tunes ……Press 1 to” he did not wait here the tunes .He murmur some thing that I cant write here.
Anosh packed some of his shirts and pants according to number of days it is kept unwashed. Then he packed some books. If he came home without any books then he will be get fired and went to bus stop. He catches a KSRTC bus so that he can go to bus stand. He saw some of his college mates there.
Luckily Anosh got a seat. There was always a rush in the bus in his route. His home is nearly 55 km from his college. Anosh plugged his head phone to his phone. It was a Nokia phone with 2 GB memory most is filled with songs and a collection of photos. It has a 2Mp camera most of the photos are taken by him. Anosh selected music player from his menu and selected all from play list and played. It is nearly two hour journey to his home. Must of the time he will play music thought head phone some time he sleeps or some time he will kill time by talking to peoples sitting near to him.
“How to propose Anita? What will I do if she said No? What was I going to do if she agrees? Is it love? But one thing I am sure I want to know do I have the courage to propose a girl or am I a coward in matter of love. I must do that. But there is the big problem arises if she agrees. If she said a No everything is simple. Is this, what is called love? I don’t think so”. The word love made him to think about the sonnet of love.” What Shakespeare said was true will any one proved it was not the true love”. At end of the sonnet Shakespeare challenged all those who loved.
“Idea” Anosh said in his mind.” I will write a poem .POEM yes! I will write what I found good in Anita ……… And in the last line I will do the trick.”
“She is one among the lacks “Actually Anosh hardly knows 100s or 200 girls. “Good line to start with but were to write the book paper pen are in the bag”.He stopped playing music and open “Write new” message from message menu .SMS draft is an easy way to write some thing in a critical situations like this Anosh had used this service two or three times previously, when he wants to remember list of items to pack, assignments etc.
He writes the first line “The one among lacks”
Then
Stands still at storms
And so innocent heart Ed,
Who smiles at failure.
Cares for Weaker and Stronger
Ho Goddess I am imprinted on u”
If u don’t understand what the last line means then you have to read the English novel “The Eclipse” third book in twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. Anosh knows Anita readied the novel and she like it much.
Anosh readied the poem two three times. “Ok!” and saved it into SMS drafts.” Send it now? No No. What will she feel when she get this? Will she believe it ? Will she delete it in the next second after reading .Now she is talking to me and replaying my messages will she stop doing that?” Thousands of questions arrived in his mind always these kinds of questions plays the first villain a self villain.
The bus stopped in the next stop. Four peoples get down there. But no one get in the bus. The bus is less crowded than earlier. Two three seats were wakened. The outside of bus was getting darker as it is nearly 7:15.
“Yes I will send it now” Anosh got a new idea. His thoughts always results in some stupid ideas which is not going to success. “Send it now and send another message saying sorry that the message was not for you it was for Anna sorry sorry here named was just after your name in my phone.Please doesn’t tell it to any body”. ”Aha nice plan better than the poem, but what if she take my phone and check it?” The villain came to seen again.
“Yes I will get a new SIM number in this holydays and saved it as Anna in the phone .If any body asked I may say she is near my home. And nobody is going to catch me as if they try the number it will be always switched off.” Anosh thoughts don’t stop there it flied aimlessly like a butterfly. He then thought what happens if there is a real Anna and what will be Anna’s reaction if she once came to know about this.
“….No it will create more complications as I have first brake with Anna before showing interest in Anita”. The Villain wins. So at last he decided to keep it safe in his draft and send it when the time comes.
He was sure that Anita will be get surprised by seeing the poem ( will anybody ever consider it as a poem? That he doesn’t know).
Anosh and Anita were class mates and friends too. Martin ,Ganga ,Anosh ,Saleen and Anita forms a small group in the class. They all come two times in a month in last row. The bunch rotating rule was so complex their. It was actually to reduce unwanted noise in the class. And the tutor finds it boring if you sit in a permanent position.
Anosh put the phone in his packet and get ready to get down from bus. Bus stopped and it was his stop. His home was nearly half kilometers from the stop. He walked through darkness as two of the traffic lights in his way to home are not working.
