The Story begins...

It’s a story of a gal named Ruchi, who is skeptical, but quotes herself as “The Practical” and it’s a story of a guy named Sarathi, who is laid down in personality but quotes himself as “The cool” and yet again it’s a story of love…. Love between these two opposite poled persons.

Sarathi was a guy with all potential of achieving things and creating wonders, yet never really bothers to reach the top. For him maintaining the simplicity in his standards was enough. Though he is liked by many and he has got his mark in various fields of interests. His huge circle of friends loved him for what he was…kind hearted, caring and lovable.

After his graduation, Sarathi planned a trip to a hill station to take a break and enjoy the nature. Its not ususal that he made out alone but as his friends were busy and he is expected to join a job next week., he wanted to enjoy the trip without postponing it. It was about 12 hours journey on train from his place to Ooty.

On the day of his departure he packed all his luggage, went to the station enquired of the platform number on which his train is, and after confirming his seat number from the final list, placed himself in his seat. The Coach wasn’t much crowded. His was a side lower seat. It was not until an hour journey that his opposite seat was filled by a person. Sarathi was enjoying the songs from his discman and casually observed the person opposite to him. It was a gal, beautiful and dressed quite comfortably and traditionally. At the very first glance he felt warmth in his heart. Later he indulged himself in his tunes. Another hour passed by he was interrupted when the girl in front of him asked “Excuse me, What is the time?”, he replied saying that its 18:05 hrs. Her voice was so sweet. He turned off his music and started conversation with her, enquiring her of her name and where she is heading to. She gave him a brief detail about herself.

Ruchi is a gal with zeal to achieve big, though being an introvert to max., she is often a social groomer. She have struggled hard to achieve many things and have succeeded in making her dreams into reality. Yet she has no good bunch of friends, for her friends are made only if she feels that they are necessary and are of use. Thus ending her in having a very few pals to name. It was not until that she completed her studies that she realized that she is missing a person, a friend in her life. All long she pretended as if she was fine without having good friends and tried filling all her spaces with the books that she read and the dairies that she wrote.

To come out of her loneliness she planned to embrace herself with nature in Ooty. Sarathi was her co-passenger in train sitting right opposite her. He was charming, good looking and cool in his conventional combo of Blue jeans and a white T-shirt.

These two strangers met in the train, found out that they were of same age and are traveling alone to Ooty just on a vacation. Since these couple are City based youth it took no time to socialize and know each other. Its kind of new for Ruchi to talk with strangers but she wanted to try it out for she was fed up with her introvert behavior. It really surprised her how well she can actually converse with people when she was talking to him. She wondered if this guy has the ability to charm her and make her speak or its her mind which is craving for a change that made her adapt so soon to him. Their long talk minimized their long journey. They have infact forgot to sleep while exploring each other’s interests.

Next morning when their train reached the destination, they have wished a great day and exchanged their mobile numbers and email ids. Both of them tried to plan their schedule so that they can meet again while in Ooty but skipped the thought.

A week’s vacation rejuvenated Sarathi and prepared him for his new job. He was placed in an MNC as a software Engineer. Sarathi was to take a coaching for about 6 months before he actually takes up his designation. He easily got acquainted with what he has to learn and what the firm needs from him. A month passed by and there were fresh recruits and fresh batches turning up. It was a mere coincidence that Ruchi was among the new entries. Ruchi was glad to know that she had a known person on board along with her.
