I tend to have a busy life too.

I was getting ready for college when the door bell rang. I opened the door as Veena aunty was busy in the kitchen.To my utter surprise,Dad was standing in front of me.

"Daddy what are you doing in Mumbai? ", I asked with an excitement.

He replied with a straight face, "I am here just for a day regarding some official work. ",With this he entered the living room. Aunty soon came out of the kitchen.They greeted each other. They were talking to each other about dad's last year's visit. I was now getting late so I decided to leave.

I said bye to Daddy which he responded back with no amount of interest. But Veena aunty tried to distract my attention to something else in order to cheer me up.

"Raman what  have you brought in this packet?", enquired Aunty pointing at the bag he had placed on the coffee table along with his suitcase.

"Mira has sent 'Gajar ka halwa' for you and her daughter as well. ",replied Daddy.

My eyes lit up after hearing what was inside the packet.Mommy was like a blessing from god.She knew that I was craving for my favourite food from long time.but I could sense the indifference in Dad's voice as well when he spoke those last words....'her daughter'. He had not even talked to me properly when he got here. I wished he had asked how I was doing in my studies,or how I find this city, my college.If not all of this then atleast a hug when I said bye.But again these all were the things I could only wish for.

I boarded an eleven numbered bus which would directly drop me at the bus stop very near to our college. I was now familiar with at least the bus routes and could go to college on my own.

chemistry lab

I was performing an experiment in which we were suppose to observe the effects of a various solutions on litmus paper. Aaruj was running late again. He arrived late and placed his backpack on the shelf while entering the lab.He reached our regular table and greeted me with a smile to which I didn't respond.

He then tried talking to me about the cafe incidence. I pretended not to care about what he was saying and continued with the experiment.Just when I was about to write the observation in my journal,he held my hand and turned me around to face him.

"Nia,I am trying to apologise here!", he sounded annoyed.

"Whatever!!", with this I went to bring some more litmus paper as I was running out of them. Aaruj followed me to the supplies counter where the clerk was sitting.The clerk handed us some more papers and I returned to my place again.Aaruj soon followed me.

"I tried calling you but you didn't answer. I dropped few text messages as well.We have to start working on our Lava model.The expo is just two weeks away", he said with a worrid tone.

"Apparently you are not the only person who's busy. I tend to have a busy life too. And don't you worry about the model. I am almost done with it. I won't tell professor anything. ", I assured him with cold manner.

Though I was lying about the model being almost complete. I hadn't even started it. I was brought back from my thoughts when I heard a sound of broken glass. I looked in the direction of it.I saw blood on Aaruj's palm. He had injured himself with a broken test tube.I tried to stop the blood by pressing my hands on his palm.

He pulled his hand away instantly. I was now looking at his blank face. There were no emotions in his eyes.I held his palm again rather forcefully this time and tied my handkerchief on it.It stopped the blood immediately.Soon I noticed that he was now staring at my face. I was getting nervous under his gaze. When he realised my nervousness he looked away.

"Omg! What happened to your hand Aaruj dear?", enquired Vishakha coming closer to Aaruj. Vishakha was Pranjal's lab partner and Ms popular of our college and according to the boys, the hottest girl on the whole campus. I had seen her with Aaruj and his friends a couple of times before. She was really beautiful and looked like a model.

Soon everyone else in the lab joined us to see what had happened to Aaruj. Sasha didn't move from her place as she was least bothered about anyone related to Jay.

"You need to be careful Nia.you hurt him real bad. ",said Vishakha looking at me.I could see anger in her eyes.

"Hey Vishakha don't blame Nia for this.I am sure she hasn't done anything.", Pranjal tried to defend me.

"You shut up Pranjal and stop defending her.", said Vishakha furiously.

"Vishakha shut it. It's not her fault . Don't blame her", Aaruj finally blurted out the truth. I thanked god for this as I was saved by the killer looks all the girls had for me in their eyes especially that Vishakha.

"Class get back to your places.Why there is so much chaos?",enquired Mogambo. After this, everyone got back to their places.

"I am sorry.", I apologised to Aaruj even  though I didn't know the reason behind it.

"It's not your fault at all.I hold the test tube very tightly so it broke. ", he explained.

"Still I feel responsible for it.", I said meeting his eyes which were already fixed on me.

"Well in that case,there is a way you can make it upto me.But you need to agree for it", he said adding a thrill in his voice.

"And what is it?", I asked clueleesly.

"let me help you with the model", he revealed.

To which I agreed more happily as I didn't have to do the project on my own.

So here is the thing that happened with me when I was performing an experiment in chem lab back in the year of my 11th class.I was suppose to take the solution in a glasstube from one vessel to another.but the twist is,we had to put the tube in the solution vessel and then had to draw it in the glasstube gradually with the help of our mouth (mouth pippetting). I suck the solution too hard and it ended up in my mouth rather than in the glasstube.Though I spitted it out immediately and gargled for like thousand times, I had a sour throat for a week.My clumsiness never ends.;) oh wait! That's not the only accident I remember. Our teacher used to strictly warn us not to let our hair open as once a girl had burned her hair accidently in chem lab.I got a company then.on a serious note you need to be careful if you are in lab especially chemistry.lolz.
