    Friends , sorry for the delay in presenting the next episode. I had been on pilgrimage to Rameshwaram, Allahabad (Prayag) kashi, Gaya and finally again to Rameshwaram and became little sick too. Was not at all in the mood to write a romantic story at all, hope you understand,. Now that I am back to my sweet self, the story continues : For those of you who have already lost the track of the story, the link is given below too :

    Now to the next episode :

    PINK SHAWL AND PSYCHOANALYSIS
    (EPISODE 3)


    They finished their dinner hurriedly and before they left the home Ramanthan asked her whether she had the shawl handy in her handbag. When she replied in negative, he asked her to open the box and take the shawl and have it always in the handbag telling her that in Delhi the weather was unpredictable and when it got cold it cecame real cool. He also added, as she had all along lived in Mumbai and Chennai, she was not used to Delhi cold and unless she took care, it was quite customary for an outsider to fall sick easily. Radha was so carried way by the care he was showering on her, she just opened the box and kept the pink shawl in her handbag without a word. They reached the airport well before time. There were many times when Ramanathan had gone on official tours, but this was the first time Radha was leaving him and going alone and that too for a month. This made them really out of mood and they sat in the outside launch without much talk till it was time for her to check in.

    As one of her office colleague, Ramesh was also to travel in the same flight, Ramanathan had not to worry about her traveling alone . That moment, Ramesh , her colleague approached them .
    Radha said to Ramanathan “ you take care while going to office and eat well. you need only to cook rice in the rice cooker and I have kept pulikaichal, paruppu podi everthing on the Fritz. If You want you can make ‘Instant Peppar Rasam too’ from pepper rasam mix and for urgent needs fry papads in the micro oven “ Then she saw the amused looks on both Ramanathan and Ramesh, and just blushed as Ramanathan was telling Ramesh ‘ this is 108th time she is telling all this” Both of them laughed loudly and radha and Ramesh hurried for their check in and finally boarded their flight to Delhi.

    In the flight they made small talk but Radha could not remove that nagging feeling after seeing the pink shawl and pretended as if to sleep. Finally they reached Delhi and their training campus where they were provided accommodation and boarding too. Radha made a telephone call to Ramanathan from the campus phone and as she was not feeling hungry she refused the food offered to them . She just took a glass of milk and after wishing goodnight to Ramesh went to her room which was quite spacious and comfortable. Though everything was quite comfortable she could not sleep that night with so many thoughts bothering her.

    Next day their training started and they were kept very busy with academics for the first 15 days with lots of case studies and assignments . The time flew very fast and Radha had time only to make a call every day to her husband to enquire whether he had food etc. She could feel how lonely he was feeling from the mails he was sending her several times a day ‘ However, she could check the mail only once in the night after finishing all her assignments. Though she replied to him as lovingly as she could but he was always complaining that she was not mailing him and she did not miss him as much as he did.

    This was a new Ramanathan she was seeing and this amazed her as he normally did not exhibit his love for her so openly. Though he would take care of all her needs, even at times asking her to get up late and making coffee for her. At times , he used to take care of the whole cooking too, telling her it was her weekly holiday . Even though she knew he loved her, but, some of his mails where he openly had conveyed how much he missed and wanted her, made her blush and made her realize that she was also longing to be with him as early as possible. .

    When the third week started, their Dean announced that during the coming week they would be getting their psycho analysis training which he assured would help them to deal with inter personal relationships which the Dean said was the most important factor a manager should learn if he/she wants to be successful. He also mentioned about visits to certain organizations for practical training.

    Finally he said, during the last week , they would be tested for their learning skills as well as for their psycho analytical capabilities. Then there would be the convocation day when results would be announced and the last two days would be free to them when they can have a ‘Dekao’ (sight seeing) of Delhi or can even visit Tajmahal. Boarding and lodging would be extended till the leave, he assured them.

    Everyone was excited about psycho analysis session as it was something new to them. On the scheduled day they were taken to an annexe campus which had various sized classrooms and also various gadgets too They were told first there will be tea session and then the main session would start as the head of the department was arriving late.

    They all had their tea and sat in the classroom assigned to them. Eeryone was busy talking or doing something, then she heard one authoritative voice telling ‘Friends, I am your HOD , Swaminathan” Before she raised her head to see the person, she knew it was the same Swamimathan. She raised her head to see him and what she saw surprised her. He had changed a lot, put on a little weight, gained some colour and was looking the perfect HOD with French beard.

    He then announced, “ now , I would like you to introduce yourselves before we start our session. “ Everyone started introducing themselves, but Radha felt she was drowning somewhere and she heard “Medam, will you please introduce yourself”

    Radha felt her mouth drying up, unable to even utter one word. She had never ever dreamt to meet him again and here he was as her HOD. Then she heard him again, telling the same words, - and she somehow managed to introduce herself. When she uttered her name, she searched his face to see whether there was any recognition on his face but he acted as normal as any faculty. . There was no sign of recognition and she felt sure he did not recognize her at all.

    A tinge of disappointment together with anger surged inside her. Even though she did feel the butterfly feeling in her stomach when she met him in the earlier days, still she felt disappointed and surprised as to how a person can forget somebody so easily. In the days that followed, there were lots of theoretical as well as practical classes conducted and he acted as normal as he would with any trainee.
