SEXY

The campus of Pune University is amazing, green and beautiful. Each day in the campus was like living in a hill station. After being in a noisy city like Mumbai, Pune university campus was a blessing. I made great friends in Pune but I couldn’t take the long walks in the campus all the time, especially in the late evenings. Our hostel was right inside the campus and our food cravings were never ending. We needed an angel and then came SEXY. She was named sexy by all of us. And her helmet was named Bebo by me. She was Amruta’s baby but Lakshmi and I were her guardians in Amu’s absence. Sexy made our life easy. A scooty that played a major role in our stories in Pune. The triple seat, the emergency cases, the day we ran for love, the wedding, the cold evenings, the rains, the summer burns, the run from the Physic department, our tears and sadness, our joy, our McDonald celebrations, the pickups and drops, the talks, the singing of ya ya ya ya…, the major parking’s at  Radhika’s and more. Sexy was a beautiful part of our life in Pune. She meant a lot to us. She was just a vehicle to others, but for us she was a buddy who accompanied us in our walks of life.  She was there in all our ups and downs. She played a beautiful role in Lakshmi’s life. Lux was her godmother and Amu had faith in both of us. I have heard people say, “Thoughts become Things”. But for us a non- living thing like Sexy became a beautiful thought. I love you SEXY and I miss you. Thank you for giving me a beautiful ride and a memorable escort on the day I left the campus. Sometimes in life more than things, the emotions attached to those things matter and that makes us human.
