Mills and Boons

When I was in class 6 or 7, a very good friend of mine first introduced me to Mills and Boons book....I was a kid then...Naye actually stepping into teen age the I was thoroughly thrilled by the introduction to Adult world...well we both were...so what we did was that we used to secretly make a sneak peak into the world of Mills and Boons everytime we would get an opportunity.

first time we got hold of this book was during our class test.I still remember it was the day before our geography exam when my friend Spri first told me about that book!she narrated the story n i was so excited that i begged before her to lend me that book for 1 day.That evening,hidden under the cover of my geography text book i finished the whole book...without even giving a thought about my exam.thank god....i didnt write that story in my exam copy next day...but honestly i was so excited that i kept thinking about the story for the next few days!

From that day started our teenage fascination about Mills n Boons n its tryst with our Exams....somehow whenever we used to get hold of any of the Mills n Boons book,it'd be during our exams or just before our exams....

I remember a funny incident...it was Holi...we were having our studyleave just before our Annual exam.We had got hold of a new Mills n Boons book....so to enjoy the forbidden fruit together...we made up this plan as if we'd do joint studyin Spri's home,when in reality we wud be jointly studying Mills n Boons instead of Life Science!....n this undercover was actually going smoothly...we had closed the door...we were just about to start a new book under the pretext of studying Life Science...when there was suddenly a knock on the door...we were so afraid...hell...we thought we had been caught...n we hid the book hastily under the bed...there rushed in Spri's cousin in the room....Naye he didnt catch us with those 'Sinful' books .....rather this Big Fella had come to smear our face with colour...so instead of thinking about the book, we were rather busy saving ourselves from this unexpected attack!After all "Ya Palayati Sa Jiboti"..so we had to follow this sanskrit saying! Obviously we were defeated in the end ...n we ended up looking like ghosts or aliens from Pluto......n there in ended our undercover operation of enjoying the Mills n Boons together....

We have read many more Mills n Boons later in our life ....but I can never forget that disastrous yet unforgettable experience of reading Mills n Boons together in Spri's home!
