My First Crush

       Let me tell you a short story from my past, a short story that would be similar for many other people as well. Well, it's more of a memory than a story this is the story of my first crush. Like all the first things I remember most things about crush but as it happens for me nothing came out of it sure but feelings and emotions are like that Stupid they don't understand the logic.

        I was 16 years old and met her in the tuition class. I was this nerdy, thin, dark, underconfident kid and she was beautiful, fair and cute and all that. Of course, we became friends after few days and the classes became enjoyable and I was eager to join the class and paid full attention and it didn't hurt that the trainer was good and we learned a lot from the classes as well.

        No names yet or ever because what's the point now also no need to be hung up on the names, she was beautiful and I was smitten. Well you know even 16 I was still a kid and so was she so used to dress as such in frocks etc. There was another girl in the class and two other guys and I was friendly with all and it's more than likely that other guys also had a crush on her. But I only knew about myself. I had started writing few poems by this time and during this time I wrote my first romantic couplet but, no, not going to write them here.

        I was young and stupid, I was happy in our day-to-day interaction and would walk together after the tuition class and it was enough for me. One day I blurted out - 

"You should wear Indian clothes sometimes."

"Why?" She asked

"I don't know, I just wanted to see you in Indian clothes."

"OK, I will see" She replied

    A few days later we were walking back home after the classes and suddenly we were stopped by a couple of guys. And of course, they threatened us telling us to stay away from the girls and my friend asked them why should we do so, and thump a slap hit him and another one for me, my first and last slap ever from someone other than family.

    We never saw the idiots again and our routine continued and now I would sheepishly like to tell that I don't remember if it was the new year or the end of our tuition classes but long story short we decided to celebrate the day/evening at the tuition class and I took a camera with me and it was a fun evening and one more thing. She wore a suit (Salwar-Kurti) for the first time in the classes, my request for an Indian dress and she looked stunning as usual. We enjoyed the snacks, danced away on the latest songs for the time. It was was many years ago I am 38 years old now so the camera was a Point and shoot analog camera with a 36 roll reel. No cell phones, no internet, and no social media. 

        Soon the classes were over that was our only meeting point and after that, we never met again. Years later I tried searching for her on Facebook but haven't had any success, but I still have the photos from the evening and though there were only 4-5 pics, at least they are there. It is just a memory now, a great memory but memory nonetheless. I thought I saw her in a Gurgaon mall after many years but before I could call her name she was gone from my view. RG you are my first crush and this would be the first time I have narrated this story.

        

Call it what you want

                    So I like the new update to Blogger and all the new features it has brought along. Most of all I like the new and easy way to add the new fonts to the editor earlier I had to modify the font name in HTML to use that font now I added all the wonderful fonts for use later.  I am actively using Grammarly to proofread my writing in real-time and it's a fairly good tool even in the free version.

        It's just another post for keeping the blog alive and also to share my thoughts, I am not talking about any particular issue here may be a new post for that but apart from that life is okay and lonely playing a lot of games that are more of Visual Novels than a game but I love to enjoy them and most of them have great stories and I have liked most of them and few have made me cry as well, after all, they are novels and yeah these are Adult or Porn games but they come in all shapes and sizes and I am playing the highly rated ones and have found some real gems and maybe I would share talk about them in a video or rather would create a new youtube channel for them.

           Life is strange, I know it's the name of a nice game but still, that's true as well but talking about the game Visual Novels aren't the only games I have been playing I also finished the PC version of Horizon: Zero Dawn, I had already played it on on PS4 Pro but playing it on my PC with great graphics and the faster frame rate was too good to miss. If you haven't played it then do not miss the chance and grab it on Playstation 4 or the PC, it's also fairly cheap on Steam now. Also if you haven't played the "Life is Strange" series of games them try them they are Adventure games. There are 5 games in the series and it was released in episodic form. One game "The Amazing Adventures of Captain Spirit" is available for free so there is no reason to skip that also most of the time the first episode is available for free so that you may try and then decide if you want to get further episodes or not. These games focus more on the story rather than graphics and this series of games all are based around people gaining some abilities. 

             And just like that, the update became a talk about the games but why shouldn't it this is taking most of my time nowadays more than reading after all a Visual Novel is also reading and I am reading that a lot but unfortunately can't track that on GoodReads :) I will tell you a secret I found the porn games by accident but now I enjoy their story part more than the porn part and enjoy stories in fact many games allow a decision-based storyline and I have played those games like a romantic movie and loved the experience, and then after few months playing with a walkthrough to get the best endings that's also something I do rather than struggling with myself I would rather use cheats or walkthroughs after all I have got only limited time like everyone else. Currently, I am playing "Retrieving the Past" created by MrKnobb it's again a visual novel that has been released so far in 3 seasons and it's an action-adventure visual novel with great graphics, it renders but very realistic and like most similar games there are few animations. 

         So far so long then people don't wanna keep on typing, take care and enjoy the week.

There is no reason other than Laziness

And with that wonderful title let's begin our first post of this blog for this year. Just like that in the blink of an eye more than a year passed since the last post here. What did we do? Well a whole lot of things and then nothing much, Nothing at all. Or if you wanna be positive then I did a whole lot of things in my life and enjoyed the time but the reason why the blogs were left neglected would be simple laziness after all these are not very high-brow articles that are well researched or whatnot. But rather these are simple musings on a possibly deranged mind. Now that's a peaceful thought to leave dangling in one's mind, eh?

So, what else happened in the past year is worth repeating well too much honestly, and nothing too. Well, right now the entire world is in the grasp of the fear of the Novel Corona Virus which originated in the Wuhan district in China and is spreading across the world, and though there's no cure available right now, all the countries are trying multiple ways to limit infections. From quarantine to mandatory checking to more but this is more like the current news not the review of the last year. 

Well, last year went something like this I read a lot of books, clicked a lot of photos, and created a new Instagram page for my photography, well while you are here then kindly follow me too (https://www.instagram.com/thevikas.show) :). The family is doing fine cousin got married last year. He is happy and I am happy for him. I finally build an awesome computer for myself which will help me in editing photos and hopefully soon videos. I have plans to start not one but two youtube channels. One would be focused on photography while others would be the Booktube channel. Hopefully, by the time, I can collect my energy for the next post I would have more information about the channels and hopefully links to a couple of videos too. 

And hopefully, I would have some more updates on the damn first book which is still pending in the first chapter. Maybe and maybe next time this post will be sooner than I am able to do anything at all but at least that would mean that I got off my lazy ass and updated my blogs in time.

Sunday - 03-June-2018

4 more minutes till the Sunday ends. Well what do you wanna do on a Sunday and do you get a Saturday off as well. I have worked with US clients for such a long time that I don't even remember a job where I didn't get 2 week offs though the offs were not always on the weekends and to tell you the truth I preferred my week offs in the weekdays and it was more useful as I could do official tasks or watch movies on the cheap. 

Well now I have Netflix and other streaming services available that I have lot of backlog of  movies to go through and for a very long time I am just not too interest to watch Bollywood movies so you can always find me when a Marvel movie releases Okay also DC movies. I love Comic Books so movies based on those is a given and then I would also watch few Hollywood movies but this Sunday I didn't do any of those things hell I didn't even left the house today :) 

I did what Sundays are made for I slept till I couldn't sleep any more, read the news paper, played some games on the mobile, talked to family on the phone and caught up on Agents of SHIELD over at Netflix and now the Sunday is over. So it's time to go to sleep so that I could wake up on time to join the office on time and I guess that's it's same for you though for some it would be school and for housewives it would be same as another day where they have to do more work. I really appreciate all my wife does and all my mom did. You girls are awesome and I love you both. 

  So then it's a good night and sweet dreams and all you guys take care and see you later. Keep on Reading and DFTBA.

Report - 2nd June 2018

As I write it there are only 11 minutes remaining in this day. Well after I emphatically wrote in the last post thing went a little awry from there as it turned out that my phone went dead as it was no longer charging and it looked like that I would have to be without a smartphone for sometime. 

I went to the service center and was told that the motherboard was fried and it impacted the charging so it would have to be replaced and the cost was to be 25% of the phone price and I walked dejected from there to the numerous mobile repair shops in the area but to no avail and as it was a Friday I made my way to the mall hoping to see Bhavesh Joshi Superhero but in that mall there were no shows :( 

Then I got a call from a shop telling me that they will be able to repair my phone, I was little bit hopeful. 

So finally coming to today well I woke up and reached the shop and they told me that my phone would be ready in about 4-5 hours. So what else would I do I made my way to the near by Wave Mall and bought a ticket to the movie. But it was lunch time so I decided to head to food court as there was some time to the movie but the food counter had another idea with their extremely shoddy and slow service and some items missing and other items cold it wasn't a nice experience.

Thankfully the movie turned out to the very good and I liked it even though the missed around 15 minutes in the start. And at the shop my phone was ready too, Yay! for small mercies. The shop fixed the phone at only about 12% of the phone value so it was good too and my phone was working again within a day Hurrah!  

I made my way home and well passed time and one more thing I had a mouse roaming in the house today it was caught too. Small wins right. And now it's 3rd June well then. Good Night folks, Make Love not War, There's already not enough time why to waste it my hate and fighting. Keep on rocking, Keep on clicking, Keep on Reading.
