just an old memory...

i come from a college where every extra curricular activity was the topmost priority for the interested students, much to the displeasure of the teachers...and with the weapon of internal assessment (now what that is, is another story) the teachers threatened not to give us any attendence if we do not attend classes on the pretext of dance or music classes...

so, it so happened that the theatre group in the college was a bit over excited about their participation and probably their very existence...

now i had many friends in the group...lots of them...a few were seniors as well...

i was in the second year the time this memory happened. one of the members of the group who had passed out of college that year but was still very much in touch with her group mates, came to college... we were sitting in the auditorium at that time...me being a part of the group that year was involved in their practice sessions.

now this particular senior i am talking about walked into the auditorium like the leader of a female elephant herd walking into the water pool and the others making way for her...

so she walks in...its almost a year after which she walks inside the auditorium and feels the air...she takes a deep breath and expresses her desire to walk on the stage... we are just too happy to oblige...

we make way and she takes the coveted steps on the stage after almost a year and says...

'orgasmic'

someone standing beside me and watching the entire episode muttered in my ear, 'have i heard wrong? shouldn't it be nostalgic?'

i don't know, but her expression made me relate so much with her...
not the feeling ofcourse (come on, i was in a girls college and in my second year only!) but the way she expressed all the joy, the sorrow, the excitement, the pleasure, the pain in just one simple word...it summed up all the literature for me at that moment...

sushmita sen once said, 'if you are having sex, god bless you with an orgasm' ...probably the fact that women do not have too many of these made her understand and relate this emotion to what she felt at that moment...

too many orgasms here right? i hope my mum doesn't read this... he he...
