First Date

The very first date with the guy you have chosen for life is something everybody looks forward to. Its a very special occassion isn't it? This is because u have just fallen in love and everything around you looks beautiful. You feel the romance even in the hot airs of Chennai.. Tht surely does violate some general concepts, but then when love sets in, everything turns conk. And everything goes berzerk. So the first date is something very special to each one of us. Something that all of us would like to keep remembering and cherish for the rest of our lives. Now, this writeup is dedicated to my best friend who just fell in love with a great guy. And the whole story line is based on what she narrated to me.



X1(Male) and Y1(Female) were on their first date. It was a beautiful saturday evening. A bike ride obviously adds more flavour to a romantic evening. So here was X1 who came to pick up Y1 near a shopping mall. So together they set out on a memorable ride. The first date is also the time when you wanna show the other person that you care and value the presence of the other in your life. So Y1 did have a small surprise present for X1. hmmm.. surprise gift, exciting isn't it? They were just half way through to their dream destination-- a small sea side coffee shop, that something totally unexpected happened. The bike's clutch wire broke! It was as if the lucky cards suddenly went bad.. A typical ass game:(.. The bike was quite a heavy one and X1 did have a terrible time trying to drag it along and look out for a mechanics place at the same time. It looked hopeless.There was a mechanic shop on the opposite side of the road. But of no use! Curse the traffic in the city! Crossing the road and to get to the other side, dragging the bike was next to impossible. So X1 and Y1 just walked along hoping to find a decent mechanic shop near by. After half an hour the weather changed and they found one. But they were too exhausted to even look happy. The mechanic said that it would take another hour to fix the problem.There was nothing much for X1 and Y1 to do until the bike was repaired. So they just went for a small walk on the adjacent road. How romantic can a date get? So Y1 gave her first gift to X1 on a dusty road near the mechanic shop. Though there was nothing romantic about the whole thing, it was a day that neither X1 nor Y1 would ever forget. A candle light dinner, a long bike ride with a loved one is something all of us long for. But at times certain tough moments can be precious too. The evening symbolised that they would be there for each other thru thick and thin. Isn't that simply wonderful?Looking back, it seemed like a funny day for X1 and Y1. After all, such things dont happen often!
