"This morning @ a bus stop not @ a coffee shop"
OF stands for an old friend whom I owe a small deal.
Anticonformiste -Ah ...that's me......



Old friend: Hello .........(No words just a smile)

AntiConformiste : (returns the smile and begins)
Nice to meet you.What do you do now a days?

Old friend: I am doing B.Sc. .............

AntiConformiste: Oh That's good! It's been around 3yrs since we met...Seems pretty long isn't it?

Old friend: Yeah I too feel like that...But two months back you so me at the Bus stand.Didn't you?

AntiConformiste: Yes,But then I didn't talk to you.

Old friend: Why? Was it becasuse you weren't alone...I felt like that...

AntiConformiste: Very good guess...It was the main reason ...and I was a bit tired then...

Old friend: (that day)Were you coming from home?..... Wasn't it during Onam?

AntiConformiste: Yes; it was during Onam.Any way, Sorry if I hurt you.

Old friend: Sorry!! Eh ..What for? I didn't talk to you either...

AntiConformiste: That's right. You seem to think smart.right?

Old friend: Ha ha...(a long pause -though not a very long one) Whats up with you?

AntiConformiste: Nothing- nothing worth a mention...What about you? How's your college life?

Old friend: College !! Adipoli...(After a small pause). Tell me about your college?

AntiConformiste: Our college......I feel ashamed to call it a college.......Nothing goes well there...It's like a desert and ofcourse no OASIS around...Ha ha

Old friend: Oh! I guess the reason --------You people are too studious aren't you?

AntiConformiste: Yeah studious (with a sarcastic smile-though she didn't seem to understand) Leave it...............(after a small pause) Are you a day scholar?
