oops! almost forget about my story. today little bit in aggressive mood.
office ko meeting ma laptop ya mobile nachala re. aba afno Amby ko post pani padna napaunu office ko meeting ma. gajab cha. :)
i ain't care. manager hos ya director vp or CIO, sojo ain't going to listen to anyone except Ambrosia  :)
so, the story goes like this..
------------------------------------
couple of years back i was in Texas for my very first job. uff! first job, was bit nervous. Even not sufficient back up money.
ka basne, k khane, ka jane, nothing was planned. For a while was staying @ hotel (employer paid for that)
During my stay, I used to browse facebook a lot to kill my time. That was the time when i first met her online.
She was one of my thrilling crush. i did mention about her before, she did write very well and her way of writing's superb.
I still have a kinda sense, Amby is that her. :)
Well! she was freaking talented however very stupid and crazy. Often used to mock me for my bad english. I did learn bit of english from her.
Well I am learning from Ambrosia too. 
Her story kunai arko din.
-------------------------
So, was staying at hotel. No car, no access to public transport. That's why no option for food too. For almost a week I could just eat junk food
from nearby gas station as hotel was in the middle of freeway. I actually lost 7 lb in just 5 days. Good way to loose calories.
Eventually i got a roommate(of course indian.. :( ). i was sharing room with those freaks. They ain't that bad, however still better than
some nepalese freaks that i have met :P.

Every morning, I had to rush to catch a bus of 8:45 to office. Else, had to wait for 30 minutes for the next one.
Bus ma sabai darlagda kale haru matra hunthey though everyone was not African American. Rest used to be Indian.
Indian pani kamta darlagda huncan. After all they are black too. Ain't being racist :) Keep on reading, you'll know I am not.

Office haleedai janthey, halka kaam gareko jasto garthey ani authey. :0
Salary aii halthyo. Kya mastee thiyo. Even No state/city tax. Texas is kinda good place. I like it.

Ek din roommate le garda I was running late to office. I missed the 8:45 bus. Had to wait for 9:30 one.
The bus arrived, I was in and there you go! kaag haruko beech ma white swan. Blak Swan ko Natalia Portman jhai good looking theen.
I was bit amazed.
Oh yea! She was from India. Still, super like. See! didn't i say i ain't a racist. :)
Next day, with my clear concise, i missed 8:45 bus and since then I started missing 8:45 bus only to catch a bus at 9:30 no matter I used to be late for office.
Who cared!! office was the second priority. :) First one was not to miss 9:30 one to have 20 minutes of wonderful mesmerizing ride with her.
Everyday after seeing her I used to develop an imagination like a freaking artist. God! can't help with this imagination thing.
Don't know when a day dreaming stuff would stop for me.
She kinda knew I used to have a peek at her but she ain't care the way she just never did give a damn to any of the other dhotis who used to hit on her.
yup! one day, we were in the same seat but no wonder sojo keto is like sojo lajalu keti. J gare ni kt sanga bolnai sakdaina.


Days passed, till that time, it was almost couple of months at my job. I was praised by my lead for doing good work. There again I started
developing imagination of expectation to be on project for a long period.
(I have read in someone's diary, "Don't expect, expectation hurts, when you don't expect every moment is a surprise and Surprises bring happiness". I always read and forget)
I expected and still got a surprise email, an email indicating that they're terminating my contract. WTF!! Never know what's going on boss life. :P
That email made me scared a bit for a while then I just smiled and laughed. I was like, oh Boy! you still have to struggle. Get ready for it.
Here, as well for me more than a job, bothersome stuff was a worry not would be able to have a wonderful ride again with my white swan every morning.
Everyday, gradually I was accumulating scattered courage of mine to dare to speak to her, however, all of no avail.


So, it was the last day of my job. Was wondering if I could see her or not on the very last day.
Phew!! she was in and for the first time she noticed me as I was in different get up and I saw her staring at me. Ankha judhyo and that's it sojo keto lajayera neeuriyo. 
Then I saw her getting off at her stop which was one stop ahead of mine. I kept watching her going away somewhere in the blue.
I knew that I would never going to see her again. Still, I had no other option than letting her go.

After couple of days I left Texas and I got a new job, was in the new city, new state, taking new route, new bus but could never find anyone new like that old one from Texas.
