7th March, 2002//

As usual, I spent days at my internship with Riya and Devansh. We mostly are together these days, for lunch breaks, coffee refreshments, or during the free time at the Institute. They both have slowly opened up to me, and now we even fool around each other. I still remember Riya's  first meet with me where she mistakes me for Devansh. 

Ohhhhhhhh!!!!! yes and even the second meet! And here it goes....

''Maaaaa I am getting late for the hospital, I am in hurry, will surely manage to eat something on the way!'', I shout. I shut the door hastily, and I can hear my mother's banter behind. I reach the railway station and stand in the queue in front of ticket counter. I check the time, and its 8.45 and my destination is three stations away. Just then some girls, I can clearly hear the two voices chit chatting behind me, but all I am thinking is of reaching on time, otherwise Dr Seema will be angry, she is a sweet lady but expects perfection to the core especially when it comes to treating the patients.

Just in a moment, the two voices behind me, of which one utters, '' You know, yesterday I mistook Dr Rahul, the one who is an intern for Devansh, like I kept talking and then Devansh joined us! I CAN SENSE THE FAMILIARITY NOW, by over-hearing the hot conversation. Further the same voice continues to add, '' i don't know what Dr Rahul thinks of me, I was just busy shooting my words at him, all he said was lets focus on the work!'' 

''That's so insane of you!!!!''added the second voice. I am sure Riya is still unaware of my presence, just a step ahead of her, in the queue. My inner demons are still laughing heartily, this Miss Riya Sehgal, is absolute melange of chaos and mess. Its going to be a real fun working with her. Her conversation with her friend was so deep and engaging that at that point of time I feel the need to rectify her chaos then. As I take my ticket, I hurriedly keep the wallet and ticket in my pocket, and I take quick steps to board on the local train. Something, was making my mind still think about the conversation and Miss Sehgal! I smile for no reason. just then I board on my train, and take a seat, I put my chords on and listen to the favorite playlist. As I reach the hospital, I am ten minutes late, and I am still cool, I don't why.
I am just waiting for Riya to join after her lectures, so I can grab opportunity to taunt her! Her she is, on time. I take a glimpse of her hideously. She is all presentable future neurosurgeon. We address few patients, their medicines  and future medication process.
We then go on a break, for coffee. During that interval, I am all prepped up to make her realise her foolishness. But on other hand, my conscience says, "Why should I? And who is she? And it's just second day today! No Rahul, don't."

It's nearly one month since that day, but I still enjoy that day and I didn't find the appropriate moment to just tell Riya about that incident. Me , Riya and Devansh are now working since a month and have become close pals, due to the long working hours. I can see both are working sincerely towards becoming potential neurosurgeons and its quite an honour on my part to assist them both at this level.
