(Part Two)

Reaching to his trunk, Manav took his jumper cable out and asked Sneha to turn off her car engine. “Sure,” replied Sneha with her intoxicating smile and divine voice. Her voice entered Manav’s ear and created an effect in his mind which he couldn’t understand. After clamping the cable properly on both cars, Manav started the boosting process. Sneha was closely looking at his hand to learn what he was doing. “Now start your car and let it idle for a few minutes,” Manav instructed Sneha. Sneha followed his instructions and her car once again came back to life. “What a relief,” Sneha muttered with herself.
“Thank you so much Manav.”
“My pleasure.”
“Do you live close by here?” Sneha queried.
“Yes, pretty close. It just takes like 10 minutes from here,”
“Nice. Are you living in Minneapolis for a while then?”
“It’s been 6 years.”
“Oh, wow! I just moved from California. It’s been 4 months. Too cold here!”
“Welcome to Minnesota! By the way, I am making hot ginger milk tea, would you like to join?”
“Ginger tea sounds awesome in this cold winter but I am in a little hurry right now and have to report to my lab pretty soon for a research project that I am working on. I hope you don’t mind."
“Not at all.”
“Ammm…….Do you use Facebook?” I will add you in Facebook and will let you know when I am free from my lab and we can meet up later for your ginger milk tea if you don’t mind.”
“That sounds great. You can search me on Facebook as Manav_ach121.”
“Ok then, nice meeting with you and thank you once again for fixing my car.”
“No problem,” replied Manav and both departed to their destination.

Blood dripping from his index finger, Manav opened his Medical Tool Box and quickly reached for a band aid. “I should have been more careful while cutting this ginger,” Manav murmured mentally in the Kitchen. His mind has been disturbed after coming back from the parking lot. Otherwise, how can a guy so proficient in chopping onions could cut himself while cutting a tiny ginger? The study of psychology reveals that human senses become useless if mind withdraws from them. In other words, if mind is distracted it will not be able to catch all the inputs from the outside world through the senses compromising mind-body interactions. The charming personality of Sneha has created an impact on Manav’s psyche. Usually, Manav is a self-controlled guy; however, after seeing Sneha’s intoxicating smile and hearing her divine voice, his mind has become somewhat restless. Even Indra would have hard time controlling his mind after seeing Sneha, who is Manav?

Manav spent that entire evening in-front of his laptop waiting for Sneha’s friend request in Facebook. He even tried searching her by her first name but in vain. “I should have asked her full name, now I cannot find her in Facebook,” he felt helpless. He had no mood to cook that night as his mind was disparately wanting to connect with Sneha. Manav ordered Veggie Pizza that night from the Pizza Hut and waited till mid-night for Sneha’s friend request. “No hope,” Manav told himself and went to bed.
