Love at first sight!

I first saw her right outside Isphani.That was my first glance and I knew I fell for her right away. She looked gorgeous in a light pink saree heavily studded with svarovski crystals. With the saree draped so stylishly and her complexion just a couple of shades lighter than the saree she was wearing, I just couldn't take off my eyes from this divine beauty. Contrastingly,I was in a wrinkle-free khakhi trouser, with a cool derby striped cotton shirt buttoned out with a white cotton tee inside. With a rugged hairstyle, many of my friends thought I looked cool! But I knew, it wouldn't please a princess like her! Nevertheless, I kept looking..I had her image trapped in my eyes and I knew it was there to stay!

A few days later, I met her at a party in Park Shereton.. We had a common friend who was forced (of course by me!) to give us an intro. The good news was that we were in the same profession and also that the chances of meeting her often, can be created! After a few minutes of chit-chat, I knew it. She was not just a beauty, but a beauty with loads of brains! I also decided, She is the one for me! But just exchanged courtesies and knew a little about her and parted. Now, she had not only filled my eyes, but my head too!

However, I didn't expect to bump into her near Valluvar Kottam! I was in a Park Avenue Tuxedo, grinning away to glory, when she came up with a gang. A cool gang of rugged men and women in pre-washed, bullet-shot, torn jeans!! She was sharing a joke with her friends and at the same time was longingly looking at the Azmi Diamond earring in the hoarding near by. There again, I locked her up in my eyes and thought, I should get her those earrings for our wedding! I just couldn't stop grinning or looking at her. Then suddenly it started raining, or rather pouring.. I am not sure if i should be saying this, but I thought she looked very, very attractive! I stood there, lost, looking at her, unmindful of the brand new tuxedo getting drenched!

Now again, outside Isphani..I am standing in my same old place, in the same old costume and what do I see in the car that is parked in the signal below?!! That is my lady gorgeous!! But, who is the guy next to her? Who is driving the car? I duck a little, twist my neck and just can't believe what I see!!! It's me who is driving the car!!I made it!! I made it!! I give a satisfying grin, sitting on a rugged mountain from the 'Derby' hoarding above!

From inside the car:
Lady Gorgeous :
Look, another place, where you and I are posing in adjacent billboards!
Our hero : Well, I should say, this is where I first saw you!
Lady Gorgeous : But, I started noticing you, only in the Valluvar Kottam billboard. You looked great in the tuxedo.
Our hero : (just grins and shifts to first gear)

Yadhvi: Should I say that our lady gorgeous is sporting an Azmi solitaire in her ears?
