   Rahul was looking rather glacing at Puja from the back of the room. Ohh, how she makes his heart beat faster and faster. As the arti ended, he saw her moving around and giving the arti plate to all the people present there to complete their worship. As she neared him, he fumbled a bit, but was much better than the previous day. He actually smiles at her and gets a smile back in return. Small victories of life that mean a lot.

    Rahul never fails to visit the Navratri Pooja celebrations in his colony as he never wants to miss looking and admiring Puja from a distance. This is the story for the last two years, he being tongue tied and trying afresh now. 

    Puja was a differently abled person as per society norms, but for him she was the most abled one in the society. He admired her grit to carry on with life. Yet, he had seen the numerous times she has fumbled in climbing, walking, getting on to the bus or even sitting. Times when she was struggling, he was always there next to her holding her, supporting her. Though she was not aware of it. Or maybe she was but definitely she couldn't understand the reason for it.

    Yes, these are the times when Rahul used the invisibility watch given to him by Mr.India.

    Rahul still early remembers the Goa trip he went to with his friends. After the party, he was so drunk that he was knocked out of his senses...

    And that was when the moment arrived...he meeting his favourite character Mr.India. He shared drinks with him too, partied and danced hard with him. In the midst of revelry, be shared his passion for Puja with Mr.India. His wish to help Puja in all her endeavours, to hold her, to share with her moments special to him.

    But being a complete introvert and not able to put his brave front to her, he was sad and dejected. His chance meeting with Mr.India and how everything changed. 

     Mr.India gave him his invisibility watch to wear and thereby guide and help Puja. But he had also given him a timeframe by when he would take his watch back. That was only until the end of Navratri. 

     Rahul went on helping Puja in times of need thereby increasing her confidence level. He could sense the change in her and was very happy for her. 

     But, now was the time he had to come in front of her as himself and not as Mr.India. 

     Now, he is gearing up for talking face to face with Puja. He put away his invisibility watch and took little steps to help Puja and get close to her.

      With just another six days for Navratri to end...will he be able to pull it off as promised to Mr.India?

      Let's wait and watch...
