Growing Up

I looked up and smiled, this embarrassment was good I thought... There are moments when you suddenly remember an incident which forces you to double check it. This girl sat next to me and just when the flight was about to take off and suddenly she clasped her hands on the arm rest and somehow it touched my hand. I slowly and steadily tried getting my hand off the place.  It was in the fourth year, I had not seen Gaurav for the last two days and that too a weekend.  There’s was sudden knock at my door. “Dude!! Open the door” I knew it was Gaurav, taking my own sweet i opened my room and asked him sarcastically “ Kaha se aarha hai tu” with a sly smile on my face. A characteristic which is very common to all friends. A guy meets a girl and his friends decide on his marriage, children and his future with the girl.
