I like her... BUT..

The case was presented in court of heart last week when I saw her in my office. I don't know who she is, what is her professional status, nothing about her but one thing is sure she has that charisma that attracted me and forced me to think about her.

The first encounter with her was at the reception where I use to sit for few minutes to read the newspaper. The place is bit noiseless & gives me few relaxing moments along with sealed newspaper. She came there to escort 2 expiates to get them in the office. That was the first sight but not the love at first sight. At that moment, I was engaged with my articles and just caught a sight of her. I liked the way she communicated with the expiates but this went like a euphoria. I forgot about her the very next moment as my mind was already involved in the articles and the pile of work waiting for me to clear off. I didn’t know that my heart was out of sync with my mind and was involved somewhere else.

2nd: I was not even aware of anything going inside me, actually it was not yet. As usual, we (teammates) went to cafeteria for lunch. We were in middle of our meal that she came there with those expiates. This time I noticed her intentionally. She reminded me someone acquainted of mine. I shared this with my teammates that few people have very close resemblance with others while staring at her. She was wearing a sand coloured punjabi suite and was looking good. My colleague noticed the connection of my eyes & words and asked "Whose resemblance?" I myself was not clear about my thoughts and in the mean time she was out of sight as well, so I refuted saying "no one" and thought about her for very few seconds. Yet again, this all seemed just like an attraction as usual and I didn’t notice anything strange.

3rd: After 2 days, next came across was in the parking basement. Co-incidentally, we had to park at consecutive slots. I took the glimpse when she stepped out of the car and mumbled "oohhh no, again she". I followed her to the lift while scanning her perfect formal attire. She was in solid colored top & skirt and high heels. We were facing each other at an inclination. Fortunately or unfortunately, she got a company and was busy gossiping with her. I kept on staring at her and couldn’t take my eyes off her. It’s not that I have never seen anyone fairer or gorgeous than her but she is quite pretty, soft and placid like a lake. Because of closer met around in the lift, I made an idea that she must be in her early thirties or late twenties (here is the BUT). And finally, 'ping pong' at 1st floor & time to get out of the lift though I didn’t want to do so. As soon as I disembarked the lift, first thought was of 'Dil Chahta Hai' (Akshay Khanna & Dimple Kapadia). Ironically to the fact that I know her attributes, all of which coercive me NOT to think about her, I was diving in her glimpses while moving towards my workstation.

4th: As usual, I was at the reception running through the newspaper. Now this is co-incidence or something else, she pass through the reception and this time we had an eye connection. Her facial expressions said that she tried to recognize me (bcoz we shared sights in lift). This time, I had to leave ET to think about her, though for a while only. I don't know what was it, but next was going to be the third encounter in a day. This time I spotted her in her cubical while going towards the cafeteria. After a while, she also joined there and I kept looking at her eyes (she is so calm) and impeccable way of everything, or anything.

Now, while I am aware of the reality and doesn't let my heart pace over my mind, I intentionally attempt to seek her just to have a glimpse. Today, I just had a little look of her. She was wearing a maroon colored sari and looking too descent like a traditional Indian woman. I don't know what is going on & even I don’t the reason for all this. Obviously this is not radical but I have to endure this change and will have to live with it while trying to get rid of her lovely charismatic glimpses or looking for many more...
