It was Sep 25Th 2003 around 6pm and i was sleeping in my hostel. I was in trichy doing my MCA in Bishop Heber College. A phone call had come and my room mate woke me up. I went and attended the call and asked who it was. The voice on the other end said "Hey Jeni why did you change your mobile number and never informed me... I was in my half sleep and i was like "Oh sorry it is .. 988... Then i realised oops who the hell am i talking to? Then i at once stopped and asked who it was . He said his name was Ramesh. I said i didn't know anyone named Ramesh. Then this person said that he was one of the guys from the boy's class. I said i knew everyone and no one named Ramesh existed. I knew someone was fooling around , so i said that if he is not going to reveal who this is then i would cut the call . So this person says that his name is Benjamin and he is from MSIT and that he wanted to be my friend. I said bullshit and was about to keep the phone down when he said that he had written a poem for me and that he wanted to message that poem to me and so he wanted my mobile number. He also said that he wanted to call me long time back but now that college was about to end this year he wanted to make friends somehow. I said i ain't giving my number to you and was about to keep.. Then he said but please do take my number just in case i change my mind.. So i took the number and kept the phone down. Then later that night i was curious and sent a Hi message to him and immediately got a reply with the poem he wrote. It was quite impressive. So i started sending him reply messages and we kept sending messages for around an hour about our likes and dislikes and i seemed to like this guy. Then we said goodnight and slept.
The next day in college i thought of fooling around like how he did yesterday and so i called him from the college booth. He picked up the call and said Hello Jeni. Is said whose Jeni? and he said he knew it was Me etc. I said i didn't know anyone of that name and we were smiling at each other over the phone when suddenly he shouted "Jeni my phone is going to get cut because of low battery , i would run to my house and get it charged this instant but please don't go away . Please call me" I was like why the hell should i callback and i went back to my hostel . Then i thought maybe he must be waiting for my call and so i dressed up and came out to a nearby booth and called him again.... He was like "Thank God u called .. i was desperately waiting for your call etc." He was definitely quite a flirtatious guy.. I swear!!!! There it started .. We became friends .. That's what we called ourselves.. But it was definitely more than friendship that we had. We were so much into each other. we couldn't be without talking to each other and we used to meet everyday before and after college. My college started at 8 30am , i used to meet him from 7 am to 8 am and then again in the evening from 4pm to 6pm . We used to talk and talk and talk. We shared our life stories with each other. He was a very romantic guy and he always used to hint me that he loved me. But we never actually proposed or anything. But Benji used to tell me that he really loves me a lot. and i used to take it lightly as most of the times he used to flirt and i used to think he was just kidding and he never meant anything serious. We were just calling ourselves friends and were roaming around , talking over the phone. It was such a beautiful time for both of us . Just 3 months we spent together as friends and the most wonderful days of my life. Then slowly i fell in love with him too. Because we were crazy about each other and i really started loving him deeply but never admitted it. One day during our last few days i told him that i think i loved him . But don't know if that's real. He said then we shall start a relationship but something stopped me and i said No.
The last month of our college life was December as the final semester was project and everyone had to do their project .. I had come down to chennai where my Home is to do my project. Around the 1st week of Dec2003 i went back to chennai . This time Benji got a job in Bangalore and he went to bangalore. But we missed each other so so much . Everyday we spoke over the phone and he kept saying that he loved me. We used to chat over the net also. Benji now used to be very serious when he said that he loved me and even i was very much in love with him that time and i missed him very badly and every second felt like meeting him. Words cant describe how much i missed and wanted to be with him. Likewise with him...
On Dec14th he had come down to chennai to meet me. I was so happy to see him again. I thought i would never see him again. On 15th Dec 2003 we met at his Sis's place where he proposed to me and i accepted immediately and from then on we called ourselves official lovers and we were so much in love with each other :) Finally!!!! Then we kept meeting every now and then until i started searching for a job and by God's grace i got a Job at Dell in Bangalore and i joined the company on March 2004 and so we were at the same city now and we were the most happiest couple in the world. We used to have a lot of fun . we met everyday and we used to go out on every offs .. mostly movies.
Benji used to pick me up from my PG (paying guest hostel) and we used to hang out till late evenings during our weekend offs. We had our ups and downs and happiness and sadness together But through all these days been strongly in love for each other and finally got married on Feb10th 2006. There ends the love story ... LOL :)

LOVE IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS ONLY ONCE IN YOUR LIFETIME- THAT IS THE LITERAL MEANING OF IT HONEY. BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING CALLED LOVE THAT STANDS OR STAYS FOREVER IN MY LIFE'S DICTIONARY. I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT AND SO WILL YOU ONE DAY.
