Definite moment.....

In continuation with my previous post http://sobeitram.blogspot.com/2009/07/definite-moment.html

I shouldn't have got selected. I have been put in the wrong plane. These were the initial comments from vasudevan. Viswanathan was elated and we were all happy for all of us. barring bandu and manmadhan, me, vasan, vasudevan, mokkai, viswanathan, kadalai, thonti were all given a berth. It was a definite moment in each of our lives.

We came out, chatted for sometime.....Everyone started for hostel. We all decided to leave for home. share the news with our kith and kin. As everyone left, i roamed around the college. I always kept a balance of 100 ruppes in my phone, ever since the placement mela started. I kept that in reserve to make one important call that i had been longing to make. I had always dreamed of making that call when i get an offer letter. I had visualised it a 1000 times, ever since i started my college life.

I dialled the number, but put the call down, thinking it would be the wrong time to call. I tried again but hesitated to complete the call. This happened few times. It was 3.30 in the morning. I was roaming around trying to make a phone call. Atlast i gathered up all courage and placed the call. TRING, the first ring passed by....the second too went by..by now i was contemplating whether to wait or hang the call....before i could here the third one, there was the person i always longed to talk to.."Hello Shankar"

It was only in 2006 i had called her, since 1999. Ever since she left the home after getting married, i had rarely talked to her. I always wanted to call her,only on that day. If not win a gold medal in the academics just like her, i decided that i will surely call her as the first person when i receive an offer letter. What followed it was an emotional conversation that lasted for 10 mins. It was a 1000 times better screenplay than i had visualised it over the years. It was a great feeling to hear her after some many years in a happy and joyful mood. She was my dear elder sister, whom i always cherished. It was one mind blowing moment, moment that i had waited for a long time, a moment that i had longed for, for a long time then......It was indeed the definite moment for me.....
