As always on a friday, he started late from the office. Having left at arount 8:00 from the office, it was nearly 8:30 when he reached the ring road junction. Then it started raining. Not willing to get wet, he stopped at the nearby closed shop and stood. The traffic on the road was thin due to rain. He was feeling bored to stand there alone in rain when a beautiful girl in a red chudidar came up to the shop to take shelter. She may have been around 21-23. She was wearing a traditional chudidar with zari borders at the edges enhancing her beauty. She wore a traditional bindi with a small dot on her left cheek and was sporting a long hair with a yellow rose adorning it. By far she was looking like a godess to him. he wanted to speak to her and ask her name but words failed him. As his lucky stars would have it, it started to rain more heavily.
The rain brought more confidence in him and a better sense of urgency. He politely asked her for the time. She gave a smiling look at his ticking watch and told the time. She must have told the time to hundreds of such guys with their watces working perfectly. But he was elated. With the confidence of a s/w engineer, he introduced himself along with his company name. She just told her name and gave that charming smile. This was all he needed. He decided to offer her a drop till her house( or whereever she wanted o go!!)everything!!!. As he was thinking this, the girl took a call on her cellphone and took the call. Minutes later came a Ford ikon from which a guy got down and spoke to the girl in a humble voice. She introduced to our protogonist her boyfriend and would-be and gave him the marriage invitation.
And it suddenly stopped raining....

Me really glad that you actually posted something new on the blog but would have preferred it, if it was actually "new" and not a copy of the mail that you have already circulated through email.
