i happended to come across the most filmy co-incidence during the trip i made last week. i thought ive mentioned so much rona dhona..why not share the interesting bits...
my journey from calcutta to silchar was blessed with the most uncomfortable, antique ATR journey ever. The plane made all possible moves that even rajnikanth would take a decade to learn...right next to me was a 20 something guy....both of us..for 2 hours sat as if no one was sitting next to us.....6 days later while crying on the airport i noticed the same guy walk in to the check in....then he boarded the same flight as i did...then to my surprise...again he was sitting right next to me....
the plane took off...with two surprised faces...20 minutes had passed and the two of us had mainted our silence and our composure....then he spoke "wernt you travelling with me on tuesday"...filmy ha!...i smiled....then started the chit chat...anyway..his name is Pranjal...a 29 year old engineer with the Tatas who found my panic attacks due to cloud pockets quite amusing..i got off at the Calcutta airport from where i had to take another flight to delhi in 3 hours....
The chit-chat kept me busy..and clamed me down after the torture i had been through the night before...at the airport he asked if i was ok in him accompanying me for lunch as his family was till back in Silchar and he had no option but to eat out..n i agreed......
I had a nice chat session with him for 2 hours over some food and beer ....about politics and zodiac signs....training civil servants and marriage plans.....religion and nightlife.....
i told him how strange it was for me to have lunch and beer with a stranger...but it was great...its rare one gets to meet an intellegent, calm, "appealing" man on a plane twice!
and believe me...i wanted nothing out of it...dont want to meet him again..he's never been to delhi..and i dont see myself going to calcutta...but we really clicked...and it felt great...to just be in the moment..and not expect...it really dosent matter if well meet or talk over the phone in the future or not...and for a girl like me who expects so bloody much from people around me..this was a good feeling :)
