Aadhya Pai, as her name indicates she is first in everything studies, athletics, extracurricular activities and what not. She is an enthusiastic, fun loving person. Her one and only bestie since childhood Jessie Aurora.
Jessie Aurora a perfect tombo...
I heard my heart beating rhythmically, then the intensity of sound started increasing and suddenly it started to beat frantically, I woke up and shut the alarm. It is 5am.
Yeah my alarm tone is my own heart beat, as it wakes me up, it assures me that I am still alive and reminds me that a new day is waiting for me to enjoy and cherish.
I quickly rushed to bathroom, brushed my teeth and washed my face. I changed into black track pant and a white T-shirt with blue strips, then I wore my favourite hoodie on top of that and got ready with the sneakers for the jog. I am an early bird and a health freak.
As I opened the door, cool breeze engulfed me which is so refreshing. I took out my bicycle and headed straight to Kukkarahalli Lake (Kukkarahalli Lake is situated in the heart of Mysore city, adjoins the University of Mysore, the Kalamandir and the Central Food Technological Reasearch Institute). There is a 4.5 km walkway at the periphery of the lake. This is where I jog everyday, enjoying its scenic beauty.

I jogged 2 rounds and returned home. I checked my phone, Ohh wow I burn’t 700 calories and it is 6:30am. I entered home there stood my darling mom in the kitchen.
“Hey sweetie, Good morning, you came back. Take this” handed over a cup of green tea.
“Good Morning, Amma(Amma means Mother)” I gave a peck on her cheek and took the tea from her.
“Good Morning Appa(Appa means Father)” hugged him from behind who is reading newspaper sitting on the sofa. I am papa’s girl.
“Good Morning dear” Papa gave his trademark smile.
After finishing the tea, I put the cup in the sink.
I headed back to my room pulled over the yoga-mat to do some yogasana and pranayama. I finished doing everything. As I am about to enter bathroom to take shower, my phone started to ring. “Dare Devil” flashed on the screen. I was shell shocked, is it 8th wonder or what?
“I will be there within 10 min” that’s it she cut the call, didn’t even care to hear from me.
I checked the time, it is 7:45am. Holy moly what on the earth, am I hallucinating, I pinched myself it hurts like hell and yes it is for real. Jess called me in the early morning and saying she will be here within 10min. Yeah it is early morning for her. She won’t wake up before 8:00am during college days and during holidays don’t even ask.
One day I gave her a full gyaan about the importance of maintaining health and somehow managed her to agree to come for the jog with me. As she promised she came but what she did was epic, she jogged for about 10 min and after that she suddenly vanished. I started to worry and began searching her. There I saw her peacefully sleeping on the stone bench. I tried waking her up but she didn’t even move a bit. She is just a Kumbhkaran(a character from Ramayan, brother of Ravana) when it comes to sleep and food. I finished my jogging and went back home leaving her there itself to see what she is going to do. She peacefully slept upto 10:00am and then she came back home. This is how my dear Kumbhkaran is.
I know today is our first day of final year college but still she is not the kind of person who will wake up early for the sake of college.
We both are doing M.Sc. Mathematics, it was her choice to take up maths because she loved maths. For me, I liked all the subjects and education is all about gaining knowledge, so I didn’t think much about it. And moreover we didn’t want to get separated in the name of studies so we both ended up taking math.
Whatever in the shocked state itself I went to take shower. I wondered how did we even end up being friends. There came a flash of memories which are still fresh.
Here begins the tale...........
