Pool Night
So recently I went for a haircut; that stylist knows me for over a decade now. In the middle of the session, he started an interesting conversation. I am done with my studies and am working for some time now so according to him it is the right age to get married, I just nodded my head. Now comes the interesting part, he talked to a potential bride on my behalf. He told her that although I might have fooled around a bit in the past, I am a good person at heart. He showed her a picture of mine (Whatsapp display picture). She said that I am so good looking that the girls would have been the predators and it is no fault of mine. I tipped him extravagantly after the session (self-obsession 101).
Anyway, coming to the muse of the blog post. I thought of investing some time into my health. I joined Gold's Gym sometime back as it is just walking distance from my place. It was a Sunday afternoon and the gym has less crowd during that time. I was on a treadmill, that's where I ran into (irony) her. Actually, just before that, I was retrospecting how over the past decade, I have wasted so much time over random girls and I need to put a stop to it. That's exactly when she hopped on the adjacent treadmill and I figured out why it never worked out with anyone else all my life. It wasn't just her impeccable looks, her beautiful smile, her flawless skin, her cute accent; her whole persona was admirable. Coming to the cute accent bit, she had recently returned to India after about half a decade of working abroad. After chit-chatting for a bit, we exchanged numbers and then I headed back home.
We exchanged a few texts later that day, and since both of us weren't into texting so decided to catch up over drinks. She stays in Bandra itself, quite near to my place. She drove over; we had a few drinks and chilled for some time. As it turns out she had a successful career abroad before she decided to move back to India due to some health and family concerns.
She was born and brought up in Bandra before moving abroad and is totally in love with the neighbourhood. In fact, even her Instagram id has her house address digits. After the pregame, we decided to head to a bar near my place for a 'Pool Night'. That bar has become like my Maclaren's from HIMYM. She was surprised to notice that even the bartenders knew me. Despite the fact that she was after years, she beat me. But it didn't seem to matter, I loved her company. In fact, I didn't even have my phone all this while; it was in her bag as we were playing pool and I didn't want it to get misplaced. After a game and a few drinks, we headed out.
It was an amazing night, everything was so perfect. She seemed like an amazing person and I was looking forward to hanging out with her more often. Sadly though, the feeling wasn't mutual. We haven't met ever since or talked ever since. So I am back to my blog because I needed some closure.
