“Once upon a time,
we went to a school FEST,
and there she greeted us with a
Rose flower
at the school GATE.
Among all girls
in that FEST,
she was the most beautiful of all
and her personality was also
looking BEST.
After seeing her,
my heart started dancing like a
flying KITE;
as I was experiencing the
bliss of love at first SIGHT.
The name of her school
was LORETO;
and at that juncture,
‘I want her as my girlfriend’ was
my heart’s MOTTO.
In those days, to communicate
with an unknown person,
there was no MOBILE;
even there was no Internet to
impress an unknown person
with your Desktop PROFILE.
One of her school female friends
was also my friend in our
coaching CLASS;
The information accessed from her
friend was more than enough for me
to get her heart’s GATE-PASS.
Choosing a perfect gift for her
birthday
was really so HARD;
Thanks to ‘Archie’s Gallery’
staffs for helping me to choose
a lovely Gift and a Greetings
CARD.
She got the Gift and the
Greetings card from her female friend as
her female friend acted as my
MESSENGER;
She accepted my love proposal which
was written inside that Greetings Card;
and for her, I was no more a
STRANGER;
but, alas, after three years of
love and romance, we broke up with each other
and our love story didn’t last so
LONGER.
After 20 years, I saw her again
while she was walking with her two little children
in a pavement of Park Street and her
beautiful face was visible under the street LIGHT;
She recognized me and gave a cheeky
lovely smile without uttering
a single word; to probably convey;
that in love, nothing is wrong or RIGHT.
But, in my heart, the nostalgia
will always remain that
at a school fest, it was the love
at first SIGHT.”-Arindam Sain
