Come Fall In Love WIth Me...

Chapter 2:- Growing Up!

--------------------------------------

I was born and brought up here in Kolkata itself. So basically I have known most of the people I know, my entire life. And frankly at times its difficult to break out of molds cast by these people. What i mean is, I have to be this perfect girl in front of them when basically I am not really a saint.

I know! I know! Being a virgin at 24 is next to becoming a nun at this era but what I meant was that I like drinking when am out with friends. I fag from time to time and sometimes you can also find me in hookah bars. Its not like I am doing any kind of 'Paap' you know! But kaun samjaye is zalim duniya ko! Sigh! The only thing good about all this is that I have totally supportive parents who have thankfully managed to progress from their times to mine quite satisfactorily! Although like most mums, even my mom gets a wee bit paranoid at times but my dad's kinda cool!

Anyway so, during my entire school life the only thing which really fascinated me was dancing. I remember turning on the TV in the sultry afternoons during school breaks to practice the dance moves. I was never allowed to formally learn any dance form....thanks to my mum!

I was quite adept in sports, used to hate studying and was pretty much average in everything else! During my school life, my self confidence used to be at all time low for God knows what strange reasons. I was perpetually shy of even looking at boys!(but that could also be because I always studied in a girls school...thanks to my dad)

But as I moved on to college, I started transforming from an ugly duckling to a duck if not a swan! I became bolder, more sure of myself in various little ways even I had not thought possible.

For once in my life people actually started listening to me, instead of the other way round. I also started making a huge number of friends(from both sexes) which were startlingly absent during my initial years, when I had maximum 1 or 2 friends at a time.

I was definitely changing and even I could feel that inside me.
