My Royal Mother Figure

Prof. Kajali Raina..
My Junior College English Professor.
A Lady of Sheer Substance and Values.




She is truly 'Sensibility' and 'Sensitivity' Personified...
Her pulchritudinous eyes speak volumes of her deep emotions and are as expressive as her words.

Surprisingly, I don't remember a single word she spoke when we crossed our paths for the first time...
It was 4 long years back at an Uncle's Place...
Maybe I didn't wish to feel her presence because she was just a smiling stranger for me.
But, that was not what God had written for both of us.
It was in our destiny to meet once again...
2 years later and this time,
to give birth to a bond that I am confident will last forever.

Quoting her words...

"THE UNIVERSE CONSPIRED TO CREATE AN ASSOCIATION AND ARRANGED FOR US A SHELTER UNDER ROYAL COLEG. TODAY OUR WAYS ARE DIFFERENT BUT WE ARE CONNECTED."
Yes! We sure are and we will forever be.

19th July, 2007 will be etched as one fo the most memorable days in my life for I met her...
i MET MY ELIXIR for the next 2 years on this date.
My friends praised her... praised her teaching...and because she didn't have a lecture in my class in the first 6 days, I suddenly found myself eagerly waiting for her lecture.
And, frankly, it was the very moment she entered the class that I was under her magical spell and it was instant love...

My friends don't believe me when I say that I hardly interacted with her all through my first year in college.
It was not that I didn't like her but, it was her mesmerising aura that never made it easy for me to speak anything in her presence and I always experienced a loss of words everytime I saw her.
But, she knew it that her Arundhuti finds it difficult to phrase out her feelings and hence, even without me retorting or being vocal about my feelings for her, she knew it.
[YES! only she has the right to spell my name that way!]


Her lectures were something I longed for... And, her glimpse was something my eyes searched for everyday.
And, my second year in college was completely different for I began interacting with her more...
And, The more I spoke to her.. The more I knew Her..
And, the more I knew her.. The more I admired her...
She has corrected me at every step I faltered...
Her words ring aloud in my ears and I feel her presence next to me every moment of the day...!

There is this funny element in our relationship..
I never genuinely compliment her... and infact, irritate her with my sarcastic and cheeky words...
But, everytime, she feels low or is troubled, that is when I order my flippant tongue to stay out of the scene.

"SUBTLE EMOTIONS CAN BE BEST EXRESSED VIA SONGS.."
Now, I understand why I found myself singing infront of the whole class...
"Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You..."
I mean It...!

This is the most imposrtant post till date...
For I myself have lost the count..how many times I have written and re-written this same post..
Everytime, I find something or the other is missing...
Honestly, Howmuchever I write for her.. nothing will perfectly express my immense love for her.

And, I couldn't think of any other day to publish this post...
As I feel today is the most appropriate day.. for it's the Mother's Day...

Happy Mother's Day to my Royal Ma...
Love You Loads...!
Keep Smiling!
It would be very wrong if I miss out naming my BFF whom I met in my Junior College...
Sharon Aranha.
By the Way, I call her My Disciplinarian BFF or Responsible BFF...

The surprising thing is...
that I didn't even know her 1 yr back.
But, now without a doubt I count her among me very few great friends.
Not that she encourages me in every foolish venture of mine..
But, the way she understands me and guides me towards the right thing...
There are few incidents I recall vividly everytime somebody questions me...
"From when did you both started becoming so good friends...?"
Honestly, Even i don't know the precise moment but surely...

The Fun filled Rehearsal Days of our College's Founder's Day celebration...

She was the most organised girl there...
infact she was our band- Mistify's Band Manager.
Ohh!
The shouts Sanchayan and I received from her for our truly non-chalant behaviour...
I miss those days... buddy!
This was the phase when we came close to each other...
and thereafter...
our friendship, with every passing moment grew deeper...

Then came the Debate competition in our college..
and She was feeling low...
That was the day.. I remember...
I found a new Arundhati within me consoling her...
and the walk from the college gate till your house...
it will forever be very close to my heart...!
We are completely opposites...

She being too careful and yes.. a little less talkative..
while i don't think I can ever stop talking...

Hey Friend...
I swear Our friendship will forever remain the same...even if we part ways...
I cherish your company.. specially..
the love filled scoldings to give me to put an end to my craps...!

Wishing you all the very best of everything in Life...!
