Playing with fire

Simple rule of life , u play with fire, u end up getting burnt. What could be simpler ?
But being the ass I am , I had to find it for myself.
Enter madam krina. She was my classmate and I found her , well, interesting. This incident is by the way from the 2nd sem.
So one day I am getting bored in my room, I think I will borrow LOTR from her. So I call her up and ask her for the book. She says “fine , but that will cost you a coffee at Nescafe”
I thought , what the heck, TP to ho hi jayega, so I walk to Nescafe. She had not reached yet , so I asked the guy at Nescafe for a coffee. He says , “I don’t have sugar” , so I decided to skip the coffee.
Then I start walking to wards her hostel, so I could take the book from her . I met her at himadri (girls hostel at IITD) circle and I told her coffee is on hold.
Then suddenly , out of the blue , I asked her if she would like to have a coffee at the Barista across the road from IIT main gate. She said fine and we go over to that place.
It was interesting experience. She seemed to be knowledgeable ( I am sure she is , but I cant get over my hatred for her )
So thus started the stupid phase of my iit days.
They say that the path less trodden is so for a reason , I was stupid enuf to not take the hint. So I took the path less traveled and it has indeed made a lot of difference J
These coffee dates continued and time went by. Junta was of course yanking my chain about it, but I kept my peace.
Do you believe in sixth sense? After this episode I have started to believe in it. I mean I liked the female and all but something always told me that there was something not quite right and eventually I was proved right but not before a lot of trouble.
Cut to valentine’s day . I was with abdul and tamal , they were working on some fin paper and I was quite unceremoniously asked to leave. ( my experiences with finance is something I will later cover in some other post – not a pretty story )
So I come out of Jwala hostel and suddenly decide to call her . the conversation goes something like this
Me : feel like having a cup of coffee ?
Krina : can u be here in 10 minutes
Me : be there in half and hour

So I go to kailash hostel in half an hour ,pick her up and then we go to barista. I must admit I had a good time , I wonder if she did . But tht is besides the point.
After barista we walked in the campus for abt 30 minutes or so and I dropped her off at her hostel.
In a related matter , harshita , one of my classmates , whom I made really good friends with later on ( she is also a very good friend now ), had seen me with krina that day.
Later when we had turned good friends, she told me “we saw the two of you together on valentine’s day , and we thought , good, two angry people together”
Some of my other classmates had comments like “ instead of four lives getting ruined , better that two get ruined “
Finding out what people think about you is really educational , isn’t it ? J

Couple of day after this we were discussing something in some class, arguing , more like , and she says , “I am absolutely right , u are absolutely wrong ,and that is all there is to it “
Well after that , we went our separate ways , which I guess reflects on my egotism as well , but I am the author here , I call the shots.
This story does not have a end as such , just that I wanted to say that , if you play with fire , u are gonna get burnt.
