Master's and further events---

I received  my bachelor's degree and wanted to go medical School. I was just a second class student but in those days it was not difficult to get admission in the Medical School. I started my classes in and after a couple of weeks, I had very serious influenza attack and could not go to college for all that time. I was asked to continue as I was way behind in the class. That was the end of my Medical programme. i decided to continue my education in the Master's programme and joined Zoology department. We were hardly ten students in the class but it was a very free environment. We were asked to do some labs and assignments etc of our own. I remember going to the library and doing all my work. I must confess that my friend and I used to like some boys and wanted to be friends with but remembering my family values and the strictness of my mother, we could not step forward in that direction. I did go to a movie (Naya Daur) with a Friend but my sister accompanied us. Well a strange but life changing thing happened during that previous year of Master's programme. One day I had my books etc.on the back of my bicycle and I was paddling towards the school. I don't know what happened but some how I lost the balance and kind of slipped from my seat, all my books fell on the road so I put the bicycle on the stand and started to collect my books and papers etc. I noticed that three boys from our final year Zoology class stoped and one of them came to help me. He was speaking Marathi(my Mother toung) I thanked him for the help,hoped on my bike and went to classes. I saw those boys in the department at various occasions. we, the were only three girls in our class so we were friends with all the girl's from final class. Gradually I came to know about that boy.He was good looking, polite and healthy. I was impressed when he(or some body) told the story that he had a little bit of hard life and worked as police man before joining master's programme. I could sympathies with him and wanted the friendship. We were good friends and he helped me in my studies. I used to get his previous years notes to read and all. He visited my family a couple of times and times passed. It was not until he graduated from the college and I was working on my final year of Master's programme that we (I) realised that I was falling for him and he was already in love. We accepted the Idea. I knew that my Mother will be very upset but I was very much sure that I will try and change her mind.
