Kavita mam was totally overwhelmed with the
reform in us. But still sitting with her was walking into Treasure Island
surrounded booby traps, Oh jeez…!!!
A week later I entered the auditions for Boogie
Woogie (a very popular Indian format of a dancing realty show for different age
groups every season), then I cleared all rounds and straightaway went into
finals of it. Ultimately, my costume got me itches and ticks, and my dance got
me third prize and 25000 cash prize. But I had to pay a price I had lost about
15 days of my preparation time for the 2nd cycle tests, so I just
had 3 days to study for it. And finally the god won against all the beings, I
topped the exam with 98%, I was literally on a roll….!!! Dancing champ – Mahen,
kho-kho champ – Mahen, basket ball champ – Mahen, academics champ – Mahen, in
sum total I was the all rounder the whole school would love to look up to.
Priya was realizing that she is being out done and is lagging behind so she
must be jealous and might try anything and everything. At least I thought so
may be because I was jealous of her as she beat me right on the first week of
her schooling here. Moreover she had achieved a VIP access to the group created
by me 2 years ago which entertained no newbie, it was strictly us 5 but now
6…..!!!!! she was nearly as good as me, but still opposite to me for instance I
was rude, she was polite, I was short tempered, she was very patient, I applied
brute force for most of the things, she ushered love and got things sorted out,
I used to play around with people’s minds to make things work out, she used to
work hard to get things going, I mean to be honest she was specifically better
than me and I was feeling insecure I guess, because though I was the junior
school celebrity still, there were privileges of being Priya not as many as of
being Mahen but still nearly as cool as being Mahen, you see….!! Neither she
had any ill feelings nor did I but just because of this complex I used to fight
with her, I was so busy fighting her blindly that I never saw her goodness and
never tried befriending her. Though many a times she showed interest in
friendship but I ignored it like an idiot, I was repenting but still I had the
ego of a man and I was busy fighting with her, she was least bothered now and
didn’t even cared to fight back. Our fights reduced to negligible numbers;
instead she began talking to me politely and respectfully but me, oh me!! I was
still the rowdy rude dude.
To be continued.........
