The next to arrive in the New Year's Party was our Bollywood actor, our Fauji kid, Miss Selina Stately, with her
parents. Her father Colonel V K Stately had been in the Army for more than two
decades, and was now retired and settled in Bengdubi. He and Mrs Stately came
to attend all station parties. At times, when Selina was in town, she also
accompanied her parents. I’ve seen her growing up and I find her like any other
Fauji’s kid, but the entire Army
Station goes berserk whenever Selina comes to the parties. Today there was the
Air Force crowd too. As they don’t have their own separate institute, so the
New Year Eve’s are celebrated jointly at one place -- that is our BSOI(BENGDUBI SERVICE OFFICER'S INSTITUTE).
Selina was wearing a little black dress that started
from her big bosom and ended much above her thighs. Seeing her dress I
remembered a quote I had once seen displayed on a board in one of the senior
officer’s office. It said “Your visit should be short enough to arouse
curiosity and long enough to cover vital points.” Amusingly, I don’t know why
but, I found Selina’s dress speaking the same quote. Her feet were covered in
high pointed heels closed black leather shoes raised up to her knees. The shoes
had innumerable leather laces tied in criss-cross fashion. She held a smart
shining black metal clutch in her right hand. Her artificially auburn coloured
hair was open but closely controlled. Not a single strand of her hair was out
of place. Her blue-grey eyes were lined with dark kohl, bluish eye liner and
mascara, her prominent cheek bones wore a shiny bronze shade and she wore a
deep layer of brownish lipstick. Fair people can really look extremely hot in
shades of browns…no doubt in that. Her
neck was bare and she had no earrings in her ears.
I could witness mass hysteria as the Army and Air
Force bachelor officers, as well as teen sons’ of officers, were going nuts
looking at the Bollywood hottie. While the Army guys held their horses, the Air
Force guys were readying themselves to take off…beginning to derive utmost
pleasure by the mere star presence in the hall. Maybe she was their fantasy
girl and getting to see one’s fantasy woman could be a very exciting experience
for most men. Young girls and kids went running to Selina seeking her
autograph. The lady officers weren’t bothered. Selina, for them, wasn’t such a
big thing; still they kept admiring her beauty from a distance.
