LOVER'S SPOT (Spot the Lovers)

Today, I am going to share a memory associated with my college days about a place which everyone used to call a Lover's Spot. Well before starting, I would like to ask you, what do you mean by a Lover's Spot?Don’t look at me, I am not going to answer it now. Keep thinking while we start, Everyplace on this beautiful earth reserves some place for the Lovers. Its just a matter of Luck who finds that first. I will surely justify this statement. We too had a place something like that. Whenever we use to go out of the campus to get something, we tend to use the shortcut to the back gate which goes via Girls Hostel (A footpath about 300 meters long). As the name suggests it was only meant for foot and we too used our Bike’s foot there.

It was in September 2005, I along with my friend Rahul planned to go and buy some stuff to eat. And as usual we rode the bike and used our pet route. “It was a shorter way” was just a very small reason for us to use that route. We went to Hazira (A place/market in Gwalior very close to our institute) bought something to eat and drink and on the way back entered the Institute from the same back gate, passed the Girls Hostel and came to our favourite footpath. The reason why it was our favourite place is that we use to spot new lovers there and sometimes regular ones. The technique to do that was very unique. I switched the Headlight Off and turned towards that footpath and then switched it on reaching the Lovers Spot, just to find the new couple in our Headlight Beam or we call it Spotlight. I don’t remember the person who found out that place but, it was an ideal point for lovers there because of the dull light( It was not more that a mere candle light) where they can sit and have some love talks without getting noticed by others. As the whole footpath was with no lights and only the Braves or the Lovers dare to use that in the night. So who’s the new couple we spotted that night.

Unfortunately it was one of my friend Rishi who was in the spotlight this time. He was sitting with his classmate and got a real shock when suddenly a light came on them as a spot light. As soon as I saw that I thought I am a dead man now, ofcourse he was not going to leave me. And would surely like to pass on the shock to us. Somehow we managed to be alive, only after convincing him that this incident will remain as a guarded secret just like KGB guarded there secrets from FBI and vice-versa. But we never changed and kept Spotlighting.

Thanks to the person who found that place out. It was a nice Lovers Spot where we spotted several lovers and had fun by embarassing them with our spotlight... :)
