Love-in-a-metro

This is a love story of a 21-year old Delhi University student, Mreenal Garg , who is in the final year and has been commuting via metro from the West to North of Delhi ( her college ) for almost 3 years. She reveals that travelling all alone does make the journey full of boredom. The only way to kill her time was to look around the people, hear their conversations & then make her own silent judgement. But little did she know that she was also one of the spectators for a decent looking guy, un-noticed by her, who constantly stared at her till the time she got down at Rajiv Chowk for the next train.

A week later, she spotted one guy in the same compartment, whom she found really cute. She kept on staring at him and after a while, the guy looked at her and passed a smile. She couldn’t resist but to return the favour. Next day, she saw the same guy boarding the train. She was wondering how come she did not notice him all this while. This time the guy was standing right behind her. She wanted to look back but somehow couldn’t gather her guts to do so. But she was well aware that the guy was staring at her. The incident got repeated for couple of more days. She realised that may be she has started liking him. But she had no clue how to approach him.

One day fine day, she was waiting for the metro to arrive. In the midst of the crowd, she smelled the same perfume. Yes, it was him. The train arrived & this time they boarded the train together and managed to find a sit. Feeling a bit shy sitting next to him for the first time and finding her ways to initiate a conversation was frustrating but it also felt amusing at the same time. The train was moving at its usual pace to reach the destination where they had to part their ways. But this time destiny had some other plans in stored for them.

Before reaching the station the guy gently dropped a letter on her lap. Mreenal took a look around and opened the letter. She was awestruck as she kept on reading it. He mentioned that he was the same guy who was travelling with her in the same compartment for over a year but she never noticed him. He fall in love with her the very day he saw her, but couldn’t find means to express his feelings. He also wrote that how he was happy that his prayers came true after a year and they started having those blissful encounters off-late. She couldn’t believe what was written but she was overwhelmed by the fact that the guy had same feelings for her too. In return, she wrote her mobile number in the letter and gave it back to him.

Today they are dating each other. She confesses that he is the best thing that has ever happened to her life. Her message to all the youngsters – “All you singles in Delhi looking for love, Delhi Metro is veritable cupid land. Go try your luck!”
