1.THE NEW LOOK
The thirsty earth was finally quenching it's thirst with the help of the rain drops that were falling on it. The intensity of consummation increased with time as the roads started flooding with water, the drains overflowed making the movement of the people restricted. Rains during the hot sultry summer season are very special refreshing our minds for the overcrowded thoughts for imagination; but for Mishti it was not less than a festival. Every time the rains used to come she used to sit quietly beside the window of her room in her full sleeves white salwar kameez and black dupatta, her hair braided tightly with puffs of powder on her neck. It was almost dusk and the rains have made the surroundings more dull. There was hardly any light and Mishti also didn't prefer switching on the light of her room during rains. She put her face near the window trying to feel the drops of rain on her face and also stretched her hands out to feel it properly. She always wanted to go out and feel the rain more closely just like the children she saw on the streets splashing the rain water. But she had restrictions... Therefore she preferred to take resort in her imagination to escape from this restricted world. She closed her eyes and thought what will she do if she gets the chance to get wet in the rain once in her lifetime.. The cool breeze, the partial darkness, the sweet smell of the mud took her to a different world; the KNOWN yet the UNKNOWN WORLD for her.
She was wearing the red sleeveless kurti with the white leggings; the perfect combination she always wanted to wear. The white stone bindi on her forehead was glistening and the wine red lipstick on her lips made her look even more gorgeous. The smile she wore on her face was different. It was enticing as well as innocent at the same time. She did not carry a dupatta to cover her fair arms which she flaunted happily. She walked confidently through the college gate with her long silky black hair open with two strands of hair taken loosely from both sides and tied with a small clutcher ,her hair dazzling in the sun and she very cautiously moving the short hairs disturbing her forehead so that the foundation and the face powder that she has applied does not fade away soon. A watch on her left wrist and a thin silver bracelet with a small heart hanging was enhancing the beauty of her right wrist. A pair of black heels was what she was wearing and the sound it was making made everyone in the college look at her when she passed by. The most important ornament which she was wearing was CONFIDENCE, which added a new spark in her entire new look. She was happy but the others in the college were amazed to see such a transformation in her.
"Was she under some magic spell last night? "asked Ravi, the most famous and the favorite student of the teachers in the college.
"My eyes are getting blurred looking at her. Never ever imagined that she can look this beautiful even in my dreams."
"Don't speak out these filmy lines all the time for every girl you see. At least bring some innovation in your flirting techniques. Update yourself with the latest trend boy!!! "Neha said with a disturbing face as being the best friend of Mishti she was worried about the fact what might have really happened to her friend.
Was she going for some audition? or might be she is going to take up fashion designing as her next career option.... Thousands of ideas crowded her mind but she preferred to keep them inside as she didn't feel very confident sharing her ideas with others believing that they are too underrated for anyone's consideration.
Mishti was not bothered what was going on around her but she could definitely feel the high spirits, enthusiasm and curiosity among the college students. Till the day before that nobody did really bother when she used to come in or go out, where she used to sit, whether she wore colorful dresses or pale ones. Suddenly that day she became the talk of the town and that boosted up her confidence like a shooting star, she accepted herself in a more beautiful and loving way.
