Doon's colonel.

Ah, this one is an adventure to share. At my tenure in UPW I got chance to visit this city of India, called Dehradun... I really do not know what brings people to this city. But, for me was the calmness of the mountain, Liquors at the local pub and not to forget Momos... Oh, I love eating them siting at the serenity of the mountain and enjoying the evening pass by slowly leaving a charm in the atmosphere.

Dehradun was a short trip as it was purely official but yes, somehow a meeting with a stranger made it memorable. Don remember the name... Colonel I address him with... 60 yrs I guess, didn't bother to ask the complete name or age... And even if he would have told me, who remembers for I was almost a half bottle down of Vodka... My fav drink and yeah can drink entire bottle with the juice without even a slight refusal from my appetite :)

So, I just have a very faint memory of evening post my heavenly feeling after the Vodka but I do remember sharing a table with this old fellow, who despite of my beautiful smile and pretty attitude (I always don) guessed some issue with my life and counselled me about something which is so very important for us but we just decide to overlook it in our lives.

Its about us. What are we by end of the journey when its time to cross the bridge. He certainly and very patiently listened from me about this guy in my life and ofcourse understood the deep pain which I had at time coz of loosing a very good friend along with a lover in an instance. What he told me was that in the end, it is actually and only we which matter. World works on two fundamental, asset and liability (believe me man, my drink almost fell off my hand listening this... He was talking so Rajeev... Hahhaaaaa, maybe I was meeting the future version). Well, so the funda is simple asset is taken for granted and liabilities are always borne. Now, if I analyse the recent accident of mine... My car was an asset for me so I am hardly bother still on the repair but 15K I took from someone for the bribery, it was the first thing I cleared. Concept proved.
So, the gentleman, sorry.. Colonel told me that being a girl you always have to act a liability even if you are asset coz this is how men brain work. My mouth was almost to my knees listening him and I was actually wondering am I a fool or this gentleman sitting in front of me or the guys I had been in relation... Really do not remember much about the eve. But yes, next time I visit the place again gonna search for the pub if possible and ofcourse colonel too. Silly me, should have taken his number too along with passing my card and have not taken him like any passing strangers of past n present.

Anyways, as a famous saying... All has to be well in end or its still not the end... Hope I meet my doon's colonel again and this time in senses to talk to him... Hahahaaaa :)

Lots of Love! Anji
