It was the monsoon season…I left college in the evening…and we were 3 people…me, he and she (me and he: male – she: female…This explanation is for those people who are grammatically sound and consider 'whatever-other-than-he-and-she' as third person i.e. It…) And it suddenly started raining…Fortunately, I had an umbrella with me…Unfortunately He and She didn't have umbrella…He pretended to sacrifice and I had to accommodate her under my umbrella…Considering our sizes together, one more person could easily have fitted in…So far, everything was O.K…And I got a 440-Volts shock (not because of lightening) when she held my right hand with her both hands…I felt embarrassed…Not because I disliked her…But from the fact that this happened in public…I thought each tree standing on the road, each stone lying on the road and every human being walking on the road, are looking at us…At the same time, I knew that she had utmost faith in me as a friend…but Indian public doesn't think the same way as she does…
Here is the comparison of what public might have thought and what was actually happening…
1) People thought that I forgot my friend (i.e. He) when I had a girl to share my umbrella…While I was showering him all the 'blessings' that I had in my vocabulary…for leaving me alone in a tricky situation and having a wicked laugh while running away from us…
2) People thought these 2 are walking a long path towards eternity…While it was about to end once we reached the bus-stop…
3) People thought these 2 are having romantic gupshup…While we were discussing about Derivatives lecture…
4) People thought these 2 are humming a song "Pyaar hua…ekraar hua hai…"While I was singing "Kya se kya ho gayaa…"
5) People thought that I was folding my jeans to be Raj-kapoor-look-alike…While I was preparing myself to be able to run fast…away from her…
6) People thought that I was holding umbrella to protect her from rains…While I was waiting for heavy wind…so that I could use my umbrella as a parachute…to get myself landed in safer area…
7) People said "Look at this Boy…who is jumping with Joy…" While I was comparing my footwork with that of Indian cricketers against Ajantha Mendis…
8) People thought of us as "Viru-and-basanti" from Sholay…While I was blaming myself for not pretending to be Thakur from Sholay…as it could have saved me from this embarrassment…
When we entered the bus, I kept my umbrella and my bag beside me…and thus forced her to occupy another seat…I called my distant friend from my mobile…and made her to talk to 'He'…Kitna bura hoon main…Some people talk to strangers and write a blog…And here I am, who treated my friend as a stranger and then wrote a blog…
These are the After-effects of this incident…
1) Now I don't use my umbrella to protect myself from rains…but to hide my face from public…
2) I always confirm who is coming with me and whether he or she is carrying an umbrella or not…
3) I am planning to buy a mini-umbrella…which can be attached to my head…No question of accommodating anyone…
4) And I am suffering from Umbrella-Phobia…

One of my favourite songs is coincidentally called "Umbrella" and the lyrics are as follows:
"When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now it's raining more than ever
But we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella"
Ironic isnt it!
Well, i hope u get over ur phobia and that "Me" (meaning u) and "She" stand together under one umbrella forever!!!!!!!
Yogi, u should have thrown the umbrella away and started dancing in the rain filmy-ishtyle.
btw: u would look so cute in that mini-umbrella (attached to a cap on your head)...
"She" could get one too :)
I guess ...
U were right in what u did... u should be generous to a lady. Even though it is at the cost of a friend... and especially when its raining...
But i feel u are lucky because u had the umbrella and not your friend... or the things might have been other way round...
hahahahahahahah....
Now these is strange. You must have seen fictitious warning before any serial/Film.
Otherwise it is just an accident.
Anyways that "HE" can get nominated for best side hero category. If not words of praise from "ME" at least an award to poor chap.
Hey Yogesh,
People also might have thought that u 2 r just भाई बहेन or like "saif ali khan & soha ali khan"
Anyways, U shud have done exactly what ppl thought u were doing as it doesnt matter whether u did the "things" or not, but ppl assumed them..
There is 1 उपाय over ur problem.
Carry Windcheater or raincoat.
Dear Yogesh,
i think u wud do well by carryin a winchi/ raincoat... also ucud hav gone ahead n danced like shahid in "Tum se Hi...". or u cud hav given ur umbrella to "He" n made him go away... den u 2 cud hav gone 2 tapri/ CCD/ barista n had good coffee (Read expensive)... or other option 4 u wud b (in case she is "Shaukeen") go 2 a bar n hav chilled beer/ vodka... n den hic.hic.hic. sing "talli ho gayi"... ne ways coll mein aa aur bata ki kaun hai woh "She".... he ehe eh ne ways gr8 story..
hmm....one umbrella can chnage life too...
I suggest u think twice bfr takng up suggestions of caryng a windcheater or a raincoat as considerng who "she" is she might still easily accomodate herself wid u...haha...so an umbrella is still a safer option ;)
