.....Rab ne bana di jodi.....

Date : 14th december 2009
time : very close to 12.00pm
location: jwala circle in iit delhi
those were the days when the world was still trying hard to figure out waat hit it , people round the globe were reeling under the effect of the devil called "recession" and we as iitians were no exceptions .... december was the time for the job season to be in full swing, but this time around the scene was totally different reputations down the drain cgpa or no cgpa, P O RS or no PORS , extra ciricullars hardly mattered nobody knew wat was going to work and wat not worked even after the 11th day of placement department toppers of atleast 5 departments of btech were no were close to getting placed ( u can imagine the plight of mtechs) and as a six pointer i was playing mi part nicely , i had seen many of mi close friends from close quarters who were department toppers and not being placed even after the 10th day of placement had literally shaken them who were hoping to get placed on the ist and at the most on the 2nd day admist of all this i was enjoying all the process nicely recession hadnt reached i guess till then .........
but on the day one of mi close friends got placed something rang in mi mind ...till that time i was happy helping him out getting printouts of his resumes not really thinking about miself i had a valid reason for that i done mi best in the ist ten days getting shortlisted in some of the companies and then writing the xams for afew of them but now the question rang waat next ...and all mi friends who were placed were planning to go home this shook me all the more ...alas!! in waat world was i living in a fantasy world of mi own but this removed all mi misconceptions " yeh life hain bete akele aye thein aur akele jayenge " but kya karein this was new to me and things around me were changing so fast i hardly had time to react every other day some frind drops in with a news that he got placed...and slowly the hostel was becoming deserted leaving a select few as thrr was a 10 days break for the inter iit that was to be held in the break on the eve of this break some bodys b day was thrr as usual all were going to meet up at jwala circle for the customary bumps and cake licking program , even though least interested in all this i went thrr in the hope of changing mi mood and heard a friend say that " yaar songs tho mast hain yaar dil ko chuleta hain ... seriously cant stop listening to that song .... hey sammy boy h"ard that new song " he asked. "nope not even caring to know which one was he refferring to ..." ...." u should hear the new song from rab ne bana di jodi ull definitly love it " he advised "oh really !! ho come u know mi taste .... dekhe the hain " so with a heavy heart i walked bac alone to mi room checked for the updates on the "T n P " (training and placement cell) there was new companies applied in some of them and the weather which can be termed as nice and sexy in happier times appeared to add to mi problems and then i switched on the lan and tried to search something and by chance i read something "Rab ne bana di jodi" started downloading it ...
as it was peak winter and one mi window panes broken there were chilly winds coming and then i played the song " tujme rab dikhtha hain yaara main kya karoon" thats it!! i lost it then and there !!!.... i was left speech less i couldnt move for godsake " kya song hain yaar " played it once more could see the intensity in the voice giving everything to her beloved nothing mattered in this world to her she saw only him , i played it again and again and left it in the repeat mode and slept off to a well deserved sleep which i was missing for the last few days ... the next morning.....
" abe ho samrat sale pagal hogaya kya ???? wats the matter with u" shouted a frind frm outside shooked up from sleep opened the door " kyaa huaa bey aaj tho chutti hain naa kyon utaya " fri: "tu theek tho hain kya hua ek hi gaana raat bar sun raha tha dimag tho theek hain"
suddenly heard " rab neeee bana deee jodi...." "ohhh forgot to switch it off kya song hain yaar must have heard it a 100 times " muttering this to miself i strutted forward to switch it off then...fri:" aur sun tune headstrong main apply kiya tha kyaa tu shortlist hogaya ... exam 19th ko hain jis din reopen hoga season tayyar rahi ho../."
................. " waaat shortlist hogaya was this the beginning of a new chapter ...."
