Confessing my first crush
This confession dates back to last century, (or at least it looks like).
I was a die hard fan of Shashi Kapoor. The yesteryear actor ruled many hearts at college but mine was most fragile then. I posted his photographs on my room walls and always dreamt of confessing my love to him.
I now sincerely believe that there is a mechanism of dreams comes true. Sooner or later.
I walked in Prithvi theatre in Mumbai. Ashish is a true companion in Mumbai. He loves watching plays and everything that I want to do when I am around. So, here we go and saw Shashi Kapoor sitting quietly. Ashish gladly clicked my picture and we walked in.
And the dawn cracked.”.Ashish..I have to tell him how I felt for him. Life may not give me second chance”.
“Sure” ,he said and we ran out, Ashish managed the doorman and I walked up to Shashi.
I held his hand and I told,” I know you must have heard it many times but for me it’s so very important to tell you that I loved you head over heals. Had my mom shouting and hide your pics in my books.”
My voice choked. I saw Shashi’s eyes filled with moist and his smile, very content. I kissed his hand and walked back in theatre .Me and Ashish looked at each other and smiled as contented as Shashi did.
After all, its not everyday one gets to hold hand of her first crush and say “I love you Shashi”
