Lump in a throat


" wise men fall in goa only fools fall in college "

- sivasankar


College life is like a visit to goa , you go there with lots of expectations n

determinations to fall but return back with empty hands and bag of memories .

One incident happened in my college's senior batch that disturbed me

so much . Its a very usual thing that happens in my college , guy n gal comes

from different place,
fall in love n then break up n go back to their

native place to marry
a person who also comes back leaving someone

in her/his college gate.


The same incident happened in my senior batch n it disturbed me

so much . It goes like this - both wait in railway station for


their train to arrive n carry him/her n their thoughts . They both were

sitting in park bench
surrounded with disturbing noisy station crowd

outside n devastating silence in heart inside. When
my friend

narrated this incident it was so touching and i wanted a perfect line

that could give a
perfect finishing touch for this n make the situation

still poetic. But friend was way distant in railway
station when this

incident happened, he couldnt hear anything. I was so curious to know

what ppl
speak before they break up n the perfect line that

wrap up all their sorrows together. Eventhough the
Author has

faced two break ups but both were only swearing words from the

gentlewomen part n
silent reaction from author so i really really wanted

to know what they speak in their last meet.


So after almost a year i got that LINE that would perfectly fit to that

occasion. It goes like this


RAILWAY STATION EVENING ...


SCENE happens in a concrete bench in front of a tea shop

(with cool breeze flowing in northeast n birds flying back to their

home southeast )



SHE = We dint do anything wrong other than to fall in love ..

HE = ( he remains silent to deliver that perfect line)

SHE = why this s happening to us alone.. why do ppl still believe in caste ,

religion, language


HE = (silence )

SHE = If there s next birth v shud be born in same religion n love all life

HE = (silence )

SHE = what wrong v did ?? tell me!! ... ( she bursts into tears )

HE = ( he realized this the time to speak n finally says or could ve said the most searched line by meto end the last meet )

" Our Love happened in Right place but at wrong time !! "

SHE = ( silence )

Her silence was short lived as the train whistled into the station ..finally she had to leave ...

SHE = will u stop loving me after i get into the train ??

HE = will u stop breathing after u get into the train ??

SHE & HE = [ (silence ) - means point taken ] !!

SHE = I want to leave this place with a smile ..pls tell me a joke !!

HE = (with fast approaching train n racing heartbeat he couldnt remember

any joke n started to say " Once a rabbit asked deer ..

SHE = come on dont tell that ..tell me something that i could really laugh

out pls !!

HE = ah .. i dont get anything but i can tell one thing for sure , my

friend sivasankar is really a nice guy !!

( they both erupted into laughters which took almost a minute to settle.. )



With this the train whistled its way out of the station , both got

married separately ,had kids n
sterilization done .

P.S = This post means no offense against current or future lovers in my college .

If ur story ends this
way author cant be held responsible.
