Kiss

"Have you ever kissed a girl?"
I was stunned.!!The question had everything which every bollywood movie desperately seeks that is "masala".The very
nonchalance with which she asked it was striking."So, tell me have u ?".I was taken aback by her swiftness.Was
this a blow on my oblivious timid guts or what was she thinking,was she in a mood to hear a self inflated male
who does nothing else than to boast whenever tried by circumstances and too specially when created by his nemesis in
nature.Haven't she heard of "typical male ego" or more common "MCP".Or were i too vulnerable or transparent that she
could even look through me and easily sensed that i have never ever felt the smooth skin of a lady ,leave alone a kiss.

But i had to tackle it,the onus was on me.The shoulders were burdened with expectations and i knew many eyes were watching
me and somewhere not very far someone was listening me as i was pretty sure that i m not the alone flagbearer of this unfortunate
clan,there would be many others who still haven't have got the opportunity to feel those beautiful lips of a girl,i guess the best
feature in them but who am i to pass that judgement i m still among the have nots.Some would be like me who accepts this grotesque truth
without any shame and some would be those boisterous brats and so called studs who never admitts that he still is a minor in that reagrd.

The question left me stranded.I felt the thrust and i said "yes,many times".Whatelse would have i said.Do u expect me to commit the felony
of accepting my timid guts in front of her.Well i know that the major proportion of urban english speaking young generation looses its virginity,
the most sacrosanct word after sex,well before they are 18.But,but.....well whatever,i shudnt crib and give baseless reasons.

I accept that i dont have the guts to touch her,feel her and make cute puppy eyes to seduce her and then get hold of those pulpy lips,i m a
"fattu"the slang used by todays hip hop gennext.Well i have had the chances to do it but phew!!!i disappoint everytime!!.Actually i live in
a utopia believing that the girl would herself take the initiative,thinking that after getting "charmed" she would step forward and lock her
lips with me.......Well well too much imagination!!!
