About Shreyas and Nidhi

Helloooooo people, whatsup??? I am really thankful to all of you guys for spending time at my blog. A lot of you have been asking me few questions so I thought why not answer them in the BLOG way!

Well it’s a proud moment for any blogger when one sees 1000+ page hits in a week. I am really thankful to each and everyone of you for sharing and reading. The chapter of Nidhi and Shreyas will definitely continue. Lots of love people. As of now when I logged in the hits on my page was 1176 and it’s all because of you guys.

So here are some question and answers followed by a short poem I read some where and edited it. Once again I am really really thankful to all of you guys for commenting, messaging and appreciating my work.

Q. Who are you?

A:- For those of you who don’t know me , hello my name is Saket. Basically I am an engineer who turned out to be a banker. I like travelling, riding my bike, writing and having endless conversations over a cup of coffee. This is me.

Q. Shreyas and Nidhi who are they? Is this fictional or real?

A:- Well to be honest it’s a pure work of fiction. It’s not my story, I just got this inspiration to write and thought why not lets do it. I was sitting at my home , had quit my job when this idea hit me and there i was. Now that i am working i spend less time on these characters but Shreyas and Nidhi's story will move on. Well I did take some examples from my friends some from my life a few from my experience and created these two people. Shreyas is a hopelessly romantic person, emotionally attached to anyone around him, dreams of having a fairy tale love story, but is unfortunate to get one. Shreyas has a good job and lives his life to the fullest. He is witty, he is funny good with words trustworthy and a friendly person. He is the kind of guy who has been asked by each and every girl, " How come you are single?"

Nidhi on the other had is a practical girl, been through a lot and hence doesn’t believe in love. She’s beautiful with her perfect smile those golu round eyes and a smile that can actually make anyone’s day. She is a dream girl a boy could desire for. She is wittier, smart, intelligent, working a true Delhi girl and a guy’s dream. She met Shreyas in a class , they studies an were together for less than an year when the stupid cupid hit them but one year later everything changed, keep reading for more, no spoilers as of now ;)

          They were destined to meet one another they met and let’s see how things work for Shreyas and Nidhi. Keep reading and sharing.

Q. What inspired you?

A:- As i said for the past two months I was sitting idle, had resigned from my job waiting for a new one and thought let’s do something productive. So there I was sitting on a chair opened the laptop and was staring on that blank page, should I do this will people read, what if they laugh I am not a pro writer. Then a gut feeling said chuk it Saket just write it down and words came flowing, so that was the beginning!

Q:- What is your relationship status?

A:- This was a funny question, well if you are a girl I am Single ;) if you are a guy I have a hot girl friend whom I will brag about and if it’s my family members reading I am 100% single. I hope you got the sarcasm there :P

   

Q:- My hobbies

A:- well as I said earlier I love reading, writing, watching Tv series, if you have a good sense of humor we could have an endless conversation over coffee. M found of sizzler brownie with vanilla ice cream CCD style.

There are a couple of answers which I want to say, I will just make it quick blogging is not my profession it’s just a hobby which I have recently started and I thank you guys for a positive response. What helped me in my blogging was my idle time now I am working again but Shreyas and Nidhi, I promise you all I will dedicate my time to complete their story. To answer why this peculiar name life happened...well didn't life happened to all of us. Keep reading keep commenting lots of love to you guys. To end I will say a filmy dialouge on behalf of shreyas:-

"Wo zidd thi jo jane diya mohabbat hoti to aaj bahon mai hoti"

This poem i read in a novel i can't remember the author's name still i would like to paste here , some of which i have edited.

If i had only known

That this is the last time we’ve met….                                      

I would have stopped the break of dawn…

And stopped the sun to set….

If i had only known

I wouldn’t see you again…

I would have framed a picture of you within...

To end my suffering…

To end my pain…

If i had only known

That this is the last time I sit by your side…

I would have told you how much I loved you…

Keeping rest things aside…

If i had only known

That we would never hold hands again…

I would have held them strong…

And never let anything go wrong…

If i had only known

That you would stand always by my side…

I would have fought the world for you…

Breaking all the walls through…

Just to tell you how much I love you….

How much I cared for you…

How much I miss you…

I wish I had only known this….

But now all I can do is…

Sit here and keep waiting….Just waiting….

If i had only known!!!

THANK YOU 

Where it all began Shreyas and Nidhi Cont..

After a hectic day in office with the same work of printing the passbook and then telling balance to people, to explaining the customers it's a bank not a Xerox shop, to opening and reviewing accounts he was exhausted and he needed sleep. A closing day can specially test a banker, accounts tallying, balance sheet and pressure from head office. Shreyas was an engineer who had worked in an MNC in Mumbai, it was a different world for him in a bank. Shreyas was used to a posh lifestyle in Mumbai, handling big clients he had seen another world all together but one day when he was thinking of his future he somehow felt there's a stagnant growth in his field plus the job security issue. He was given 4 sites to handle which was earlier managed by his ex boss a 40 yr old man which the company sacked giving a month's notice. All this factors had clouded Shreyas thoughts and here he was an engineer working in a bank. With a lot of hope he came into banking after all he had seen his father working and providing for the family for almost 25 years now so he thought how hard would it be little did he knew seeing is not believing it was a nightmare for him like conjuring movie coming true. Still he used to keep that fake smile on his face and kept himself busy, off late he was good in faking a lot of things in life. After this long tiring day and attending a queue of customers he needed sleep but how could he sleep it was still two hours for the result to come out. An idea struck his head and there he was plugging in headphones, Arijit Singh was on with some Linkin park and Bruno mars what a mixed collection he had.

Thirty minutes past midnight his eyes were dropping he needed that bed but kept on saying let me see the result and then I will have a good night's sleep. He used to remember how at nights when he would feel sleepy and had to study Nidhi would call him up and tell him to have some tea, the irony being he hated tea. Every time they were out together Nidhi would order a cup of tea for both of them, he never said that he hated it just smiled and drank it. Nidhi used to find different coffee and tea shops around Delhi just to experiment new flavors of tea and Shreyas used to love her excitement and without saying a word would accompany her. It’s cold today have tea. You are wet in rains have tea. You have a head ache today Shreyas have tea. Nidhi’s solution to every problem was TEA. Nidhi was God's perfect creation. A dream come true, those round eyes of her , a smile which would make the whole world smile. She was not tall, she was not short just perfect, she was amazing just the way she was carrying that confident attitude Shreyas met Nidhi in a classroom and told his friend, Rohit one day I will be with this girl forever and ever. It was love at first sight for him little did he knew what mysteries life had planned for him.

          Sleep was not an option so why not make a cup of TEA. YouTube is one of the best inventions, Shreyas was ready with his tea recipe mixing ginger, tea leaves, milk, water and sugar. Excitedly he opened his messages and typed “Hi Nidhi you idiot I have made a full bowl of tea and that too watching a YouTube video I wish you were here love you” another message saved in his drafts. If only drafts could speak she would know how much he missed her, how much he wanted her to be there in his life. He still remembers when they used to talk for hours on WhatsApp, he used to say happiness is last seen turning to online and online turning to typing. It’s funny how they used to talk for hours and hours and now he couldn’t even say hi. So the tea was ready, he had his music, his laptop was open google chrome had seven different tabs all discussing about the results yet he was feeling sleepy probably because of the ambiance, lights off, everyone sleeping so he thought of taking a walk on the terrace. No matter how much he hated Bangalore, he couldn’t complain about the weather. Shreyas used to hide a couple of cigarette for emergency, although he was not a smoker he enjoyed it's feel once in a while. Taking out his stash he silently closed the door making sure his parents didn't wake up and went to the terrace. The clock had struck 1PM he lighted that match, took that first drag and coughed it had been a while since he had smoked. The cold breeze hit his face, the moon was perfectly lit up he could count the stars in that dark night. A certain nostalgia hit him, he remembered of the perfect life he had in Pune during his college life, those night outs, those walks a slight drizzle was what he needed.

Ting buzzed his cell as he was on that terrace enjoying that moment. “All the best for your results do tell me what happens I am awake and waiting”. It was Nidhi. At that moment he was numb there was a smile on his face tears in his eyes goosebumps all over, a shiver went through him. He wanted to call her ASAP, he wanted to listen to her voice and say I love you baby I missed you but some where down Shreyas knew that message is from a FRIEND and not from a LOVER.

Where it all BEGAN!

He used to call his dad each day this year asking when are you coming home papa, today following his father's foot steps Shreyas knew what it was to sit in a bank on a closing day. It was not just a closing day for him, tomorrow  was a D day. He took a new job from Delhi to Bangalore but he was not satisfied here, six months went by daily he used to curse his luck, saying why did he leave Delhi, he was so happy there friends, love, travel he had everything he could dream of.  But may be it was fate that made him come to this alien city.

          It was almost 8 PM his work was not finished yet, there was a cricket match going on Ind vs WI, which he being a cricket fan was missing it. Off late he had become workaholic may be it was to keep him busy and forget Nidhi or may be loved the idea of his mind being pre occupied with things. Although he didn’t quite like working there, a new city with no friends unknown language and a rural posting he had no other option but to work. Shreyas used to console himself by looking at his brand new bike, his posh life style, the expenditures he made and most importantly the happiness in his parents eyes as their son was HOME. People saying money can't buy happiness but have you heard the karrrrr sound ATM makes on 27th of every month, well that karrrrr sound was why Shreyas was surviving in that alien city.

          Finally at about 9 PM his work was done and he called his parents that he was leaving for home. A 60km ride generally makes your parents worry and that too riding in the highway during night. A worried Mother on the other end of the line said, beta drive carefully and come I am making Alu parathe your favorite. He wore his helmet put on his gloves and zoom started his brand new Bajaj Avenger F.L.G  his first investment all thanks to the bank. Around 10:30 he was home the highway route makes it fast but as usual he got that scolding from his Maa, I know you drove fast to reach home now go freshen up Alu parathe is ready. He giggled and went to change. No one and he means it no one could beat his mom's Alu parathe. He looked at his dad and smiled finally he had realized all those years when his dad used to come late how he would have felt working in the bank. They had their family dinner and his bro was teasing him saying like father like son now enjoy your life, he was enjoying that moment. After dinner was the time to discuss the elephant in the rom his results which was about to be published in a few hours, yes that was a D day moment for Shreyas. The family talk had started and his dad wished him all the best and went to sleep.

          Sleep was something which Shreyas was deprived of for a couple of months now. The reason in short was boy meets a girl feels in love with her, girl hesitates but finally accepts they live happily but that after part was not to be written in his life may be it was karma for what he had once did. Long distance never works his friends kept on telling him as he was leaving Delhi 6 months back but he had faith on his love it would. Initially it was good but then it was all bout why don’t you call me anymore, you can’t even spare a few minutes for me. They used to fight they used to make up but a lot changed, that physical presence of your partner along with you holding arms making love, those couple moments together is needed in a relationship unfortunately a video call on skype and those long night WhatsApp conversations couldn’t save their relationship. Now all he had was memories of someone that he used to know. It was Nidhi who used to see Shreyas results and say sorry baby I know you worked so hard but and used to pause at this moment, when Shreyas was about to cry she used to shout and hug him saying congratulations you did it again. He hated her for doing that but loved her for bringing that smile on his face. Tonight he was alone there was no Nidhi to talk to it was almost two months they hadn’t spoke with one other.

It was 11:30 only half an hour was left for midnight it felt as if the watch had stopped at that moment Shreyas could literally hear the clock ticking tick tock tick tock finally the clock struck 12 it was midnight. This time Nidhi was not there to call him yet he had hope his cell would ring. It was just him sitting there with sweaty hands, trembling and a fearing what would happen. He couldn’t work at Bangalore any more he hated that place. 12:05 he opened his laptop ,the website isn’t working, generally a website crashes because of a huge number of hits at a single time so he opened other forums to get some information on the results. It's funny how a person can accumulate all the negative thoughts in merely a couple of seconds. Wait what it's delayed, what do you mean it's delayed it's supposed  to be published at midnight it's already 10 minutes past midnight some one in the forum said the results were delayed till 2 AM . That's two hours what will I do know he thought God it was going to be a long night.
