RX Fever

Flash-back to a decade and a half ago. One lazy evening, a teen barely out of his shorts and slippers had met someone who went on to change his life forever.

Right from the word go, she seemed different from the others around her. It was the norm to glance upon her kind before they could even hear them whisper. She was different. He could hear her from far, even before he could lay eyes on her.

He was curious now and strained his neck in an attempt to follow her voice wafting down the street. And then she came into view. She wasn’t in her best threads but he wouldn’t care less. 


He was hooked. She was the prettiest out there looking gorgeous in green.Immediately he knew that he had to do something. Plucking up courage, he asked her out for a spin. To his surprise she agreed. With a prayer on his lips, he held her tight and took off. 

He could hardly breathe. Her voice filled up inside his head. And he knew that from that day on, he was hooked. A gentleman that he was, he promptly realized that she was someone else’s girl and that he was too young for her. But as they parted ways, he’d vowed to keep looking for someone close enough to her.

There were no indicators to the long search that his vow would torment him with. Life happened and the years were spent chasing academics and professional targets. 

One fine day, his world changed again. He got a call on his phone that shook the ground beneath his feet. The caller uttered the three magic words: “I Found Her”.

He leapt out of his chair and bolted out the door in a flash. Running down the stairs, he could hardly contain his excitement. Ten long minutes of eternity later, his world slowed down around him. Tunnel vision set in and his eyes zeroed onto a single spot.

All those years of waiting had finally paid off. His old flame in his sights, he knew he couldn’t afford to let her go this time. Life barely offers another chance and he intended to grab this one with both hands. Two hours later, he had made arrangements to finally make her his own. Thus began an affair that only a select few have known. 

It’s been two years since they’ve been together now. In these two years, they have been on a mission of sorts to make up for lost time. Both of them have begun to show their age. Promises have been made to get her in for an extended session of some much needed TLC. 

Till then, the rider and his steed are content enough to teach ignorant youngsters some very important lessons. For all those foolish enough to think that they can out-gun this old couple in their shiny Pulsars, Karizma’s and Unicorn’s are left shell-shocked in the blue haze escaping from her exhaust!!!
