My First Experience Mingle in the Jungle Experience – Part 1

At the office, it felt less like a corporate campus and more like a very expensive chawl.

Every company rented a fixed number of seats. If the seat numbers in your space crossed a certain threshold, you got yourself a glass partition. Or rather a little glass ‘cage’ with your company name etched on its door.

Small teams worked inside those cages, heads down, keyboards clicking, looking like they were serving a jail sentence for the crime of having a job.

The dining hall, though, was a common ground. No fixed seats per company. A long hallway led to it, glass doors lining both sides like rooms in an old Mumbai chawl.

Except, instead of families hanging clothes, you had people hanging deadlines and their slide decks.

Then a new company moved in. Their headcount at this branch looked under a hundred. Mine was around a hundred and twenty. And in that company walked none other than Seema’s doppelgänger!

Our awkward hallway stares turned into shared lunches and a monsoon trek that ended with us at a secluded spot!

Chapter 1: I Met the Other Seema and Her Pact in Kharghar Hills

She is a short woman. Naturally dark brown hair with a slight frizz. Grey eyes. Seema’s eyes were close to golden, though.

Skin so fair it looked like it had never met the sun. It was like it never tanned. Talk about her body? If she stood with her back to you, your brain would short-circuit and scream ‘Seema’. Face didn’t match that much. But the rest of it made me remember her. I was missing Seema.

I used to get lost staring at her. We did that awkward hallway stare for days. We had our eyes meeting, then both looking away too fast, both pretending it never happened.

Then one day she actually smiled when we glanced at each other. Just a small, quick one. Like she had decided – enough of this staring game, let’s move ahead!

The next day my entire team decided, at the last possible second, to work from home. I was halfway to the office by then! The same guys who had resigned with me from our old company joined this one together. Total traitors! I was left alone in the office.

Then came lunchtime. The dining hall was jam-packed. It seems the facility planning guys did a very poor job. Check all companies around, and the total seat count goes to 300 or maybe 400. But total seats in the dining hall? Barely 100!

This meant people had to wait for a seat during peak times. The rest of the time, it’s empty. Space for only one food vendor; that too wasn’t occupied. If it were actually occupied, we’d call it a real cafeteria. Without it, just a dining hall!

I sat at a two-seater table, doom-scrolling with one hand and eating food with the other, the universal multitasking skill of the average Indian office worker.

A girl appeared beside the table and said something. I didn’t look up. Didn’t really process the words. Assumed the usual.

Me: This chair is free. Take it.

There was a pause. Then a clearer voice: “I think you didn’t hear me. I wanted to sit here with you. This place is full. Do you mind?”

I finally looked up. It was Seema’s doppelgänger! Holding a plate. Looking mildly amused at me – the idiot who had just offered her a chair she hadn’t asked for.

Me: Oh. Hey. Hi.

I shoved my phone into my pocket along with my earpods.

Me: Sorry. I was somewhere else mentally. Sit. Please.

She sat. We ate in complete silence. Two strangers sharing a table and the quiet understanding that neither of us was going to force a conversation yet.

I kept thinking she would start talking. She probably kept thinking I would. Introverts in their natural habitat, of course!

The next day I came again. Same time. Same full dining hall. This time she didn’t ask. She just directly placed her plate down, pulled the chair, and sat like she had booked the seat the previous day itself.

Me: Hi!

She: Hi!

Me: I work in xyz consulting firm.

She: Your company doesn’t need introductions. You walk around with those branded lanyards like walking billboards. We don’t have any of that. I wish we had.

Me: How do you even punch your time in? Like we swipe this as an access card. What do you guys have? Face recognition, fingerprint device, or something fancy?

She: Our face is the access card. There’s this palm-sized screen on the door. You stare at it like you’re proposing it for marriage, and it either accepts or rejects you like a bad date. Opens the door if accepted. Doesn’t move if it rejects you. (Sipped some water) It fails half the time.

Me: (laughed) Tell me more! This is interesting.

She: Yesterday the lighting here made me look like a completely different person. My face wouldn’t get scanned properly. The machine kept saying ‘Access Denied.’ Security uncle started calling me Ghost Madam. I told him if this continues, I might as well start haunting the office.

We laughed.

Me: Ghost Madam. You should totally make it your LinkedIn headline.

She: Only if their algorithm accepts my face, unlike the attendance machine here!

We laughed together.

She told me her name eventually: Nishita. Fresh out of IIM. First job. HR in a recruitment firm. It basically meant everyone there was some HR only.

Her whole team was scattered. Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, even London. She was their lone ranger in Mumbai. Other people sitting in her office belonged to different teams, not hers. Quite usual for coworking spaces.

The people around her in the office were very superficial and sad, kind of. If they spoke, they did within their own teams. She was left out. She wanted friends.

She extended her right hand for a handshake. The same hand she had been eating with. Tiny bits of subzi still clung to her fingers like some stubborn particles that refused to drop off.

I used my free left hand and held her wrist instead. “I’m Pratty.”

She looked down at the food residue, then at my creative handshake technique, and burst out laughing.

Nishita: Oh my god, I’m so sorry for using the hand I just ate with.

Me: It’s fine. In a few days, wrist shakes instead of handshakes will be the new normal in 2026.

That was the moment the ice actually broke between us.

Her company was one hundred percent work-from-office. Mine was the usual two days a week. When I mentioned that, her face did a quick calculation.

Probably imagining her lonely lunches ahead. I told her I’d come more often to finish my office days early. I didn’t mention that the real reason was her.

I started showing up almost every day. Because she looked like Seema from behind, and because those thirty minutes at lunch had become the only part of the office that felt lively.

My other friends eventually returned to the office from their work-from-home slumber. During lunch, we claimed a big table that could seat eight. Now split into two neat halves of four seats each.

My team claimed one side. Nishita and I claimed the other. We talked, we laughed hard enough that the people in the other half started giving us looks.

One afternoon after we returned to our seats, one of the boys leaned over and asked me, “Bhai, tumlogo ka kuch chal raha hai kya?” (Is there something going on between you both?)

Me: No.

My friend: You drive to work all the way from Navi Mumbai. Why are you paying Atal Setu toll every day like you’re funding the bridge personally? To see her, right?

We all laughed. I didn’t correct them.

One of them warned me that this won’t work well as I was married. Should’ve paid attention to that. Something I had to regret later about.

One evening she pinged at 6 PM. I was in my seat about to finish work. I just had late-night US calls post 9 PM. I was free until then. It was raining heavily.

Nishita: Marine Drive chalein? (Let’s go to Marine Drive?) I always go in the monsoon. I have no partner today. Are you free?

I was indeed! And for Seema part 2? Always!

She wore a white sleeveless top and black jeans. The rain had already started its work. We sat on the boulder rocks, getting properly drenched while young couples around us engaged in some really obscene public display of affection.

We talked about life, career, the usual. Then silence settled. But it didn’t feel empty. We saw the waves and heard their sounds. We just enjoyed the moment.

She rested her head on my shoulder. I didn’t move away. I thought she got carried away with the flow. I chimed in as my hand landed on her head, making slow and careful strokes. She looked up and smiled. We watched the sky change its color in front of us.

After a while, she lifted her head just enough to speak, still close enough that her breath touched my cheek. She made a poem on the spot:

The golden sun meets with the sea,
While on us, the raindrops gently fall.
The waves will always find the sand,
The way they were designed.

​Let’s treat this sunset like a ring,
Before the daylight fades.
I’m hoping you will take my hand,
And we’ll leave the world around us behind!

I didn’t catch every word. The word ‘ring’ implied something. I didn’t bother. I should have.

We were sitting too close. Looking eye to eye. She smiled after the last line, the kind of smile that already knows what it is about to do. I smiled back.

Her eyes moved between my face and lips repeatedly for a few seconds, and then she suddenly kissed me.

Maybe I should’ve objected. But given the retard I am, I felt withdrawing would have made me look like the biggest idiot on the western coast of our country! So I didn’t.

With a little bit of hesitation, I got involved. I pushed in my tongue. The rain kept falling. Her hand found the bulge in my pants. That was when I pulled away, breathing even harder than the weather.

Me: I think we should draw the line here.

She just smiled, rainwater running down her face.

Nishita: Maybe we’ll continue again someday. Starting exactly where we left off.

Her white top was soaked through. The black slip underneath had become an unintentional silhouette.

I went home, stood under the shower longer than necessary, and took care of the problem myself while thinking about her grey eyes, that electric kiss, and rain making her slip visible through her top. After that, lunch was no longer optional. We met every day at 1 PM.

Nishita: You know what, Pratty, I’m twenty-five and feel too old for starting my first job so late.

I went full motivational speaker mode.

Me: I know people who started early and stagnated, people who started late and yet took off to great heights, people who hit C-suite roles in their mid-thirties. And people like me, close to mid-thirties and still fighting for middle-level management titles! God has a plan. Things will happen when they have to. There’s no use trying to hurry up or feeling bad about it.

Then the sadness left her face.

Nishita: Pratty, you speak so well. That’s why I like you!

There was something in the way she said it. I should have heard it properly. I didn’t!

Nishita: Okay Pratty, what are you doing this Saturday?

Me: I planned to sleep through most of it.

Nishita: What do you think about monsoon trekking?

Me: I have never tried. My left leg is still recovering from last year’s surgery.

Nishita: The trail that I have in mind is gentle. It is more walk than climb, and conveniently in Navi Mumbai, where you live.

I said yes because I couldn’t invent an excuse. I knew it had to be somewhere in Kharghar hills when she mentioned Navi Mumbai.

We met at Kharghar station in the morning. She was in a plain red tight T-shirt that clung in all the right places and black jeans that did the same.

We ate onion pakoda with mint chutney and pav from a stall near the station. You see, in Mumbai we can basically club pav with almost anything!

While we stood there enjoying this snack, rain misting around us, she suddenly recited:

Rain is soft, and the pakodas are hot,
Steam rises from its little frying pot,
Your good company makes the grey sky look okay,
I’m glad, Pratty, that I found you today!

I laughed and thanked her.

Me: You just made pakoda poetic. That’s a skill. I really like it that you can come up with these rhymes at the spur of the moment.

We drove to the trekking place. Started with thirty minutes of uneven but walkable slope. Then came the first real obstacle: a waist-deep river crossing. The current was polite. We held hands and crossed carefully. Then came more walking.

A woman from a nearby village was selling tea under a plastic sheet made into a tent. We bought two cups of chai and stood there talking about these people who still had to cross small rivers in 2026 to reach the main road.

How most of them only came out during monsoon when trekkers appeared. Suddenly, tea, Maggi, and pakoda became seasonal businesses for them.

Everyone else was taking the path that bordered a fast-flowing river. One wrong step, you’d slip down and become a part of the flow. Nishita pulled my arm when I was walking in that direction.

Nishita: There’s another way. Not many people know it. Easy peasy trek!

We took the left. At this point I didn’t know her intentions and that she was taking me to a completely different place. We kept walking.

An hour later we stood at a place. A thin green trail on a mountain top. Valleys on both sides. My fear of heights arrived right at that moment.

Legs went soft. She noticed and stepped in, hugging me tightly, her curves pressed against me unapologetically. She looked straight into my eye.

Nishita: Don’t worry, pratty, I’m right here, with you, now and beyond. Don’t look down. Look at me if you have to.

She said against my shoulder. It still felt electric. But these words had a deeper meaning I couldn’t realize yet.

On the way, we saw a wild buffalo skull with incredibly long horns that looked like it belonged in a museum. A couple of feral cows spotted us from a distance and bolted into the trees as we had personally offended their privacy with our sighting.

Further on, she stopped, kept her hand on my shoulder, and pointed to a highway the other way where cars looked like slow ants. Buildings near the highway looked like they were made by stacking match boxes.

Nishita: Pratty, you know what? We’re standing on a mountain in Kharghar, and that building way over there is Dombivli.

I just stared, stunned. Geography had never felt so beautiful. Then she asked if I was a good swimmer. I said normal pools were fine; lakes and seas were a hard no. Also, possible that crocodiles were there. And this area had leopard and the occasional panther stories.

Nishita: (giggled) You’re unnecessarily inventing danger. Good news is we can walk through the lake. Still water is safer than the river.

We did it hand in hand, bags balanced on our heads like roadside fruit sellers. We imitated such sellers. Then we were laughing so hard we almost dropped everything into the water.

No other human in sight for what felt like kilometers. This lake was chin-deep in the middle. I preferred walking. She handed me her bag and swam like she had been born in water.

She suggested trying skinny dipping since we were alone. I told her she was completely mad. She asked what the big deal was. There’s no one around apart from us both. I still said no.

Me: Where exactly are we going?

She was panting and pointed across the lake to a big rock rising about twenty feet above the water, shaded by a big tree. Said we’ll go there.

Me: And what are we doing there?

Nishita: We’ll see.

The wicked smile that came with it was pure trouble. We climbed up dripping. And there it was. A mattress already waiting for us, soaked through the rain. Used condoms scattered around it like previous visitors had left bad Google reviews.

Nishita didn’t comment. She set her bag down, told me to do the same, and sat at the edge of the rock with her legs hanging and moving back and forth from its edge. I sat beside her, as she guided me through it.

The rain had paused. Sunlight hit the lake and turned it into a sheet of moving gold. She rested her head on my shoulder again.

Nishita: You never gave me a nickname. Why do you keep using the full name? Nishi or Nishu is fine.

Me: Okay. Nishi!

Nishita: I’ll call you my panda!

Her voice naturally was a perfect candidate for a children’s cartoon dubbing artist. You can imagine it. And this thing she said looked more comic with her voice.

She hugged me, pressed her nose against my cheek, and for a few seconds the whole forest felt quiet. Then she pinched my cheek as if I were a cute kid and laughed.

Nishita: Panda, you know how I found this place?

Me: Tell me.

She leaned in closer.

Nishita: Through my college friends. One of the girls in our group was already with someone. She had already… lost it here, you know.

Me: Lost what? Her bags? Who took it? Wolves? Monkeys?

Nishita: No, silly. Her virginity. God, why do I have to always explain things to you in detail?

Me: (laughed) Sorry. Go on.

Nishita: Her boyfriend brought her here. No one around. Told her this was the place they would dedicate their bodies to each other. She found it romantic. They did it right here.

Me: Outdoor experience.

We laughed at that.

Nishita: Then she brought the rest of us on a trek here. Showed us this place. Four of us, best friends since childhood. We prepared together for IIM and even landed in the same IIM. We share everything, you know.

Me: Wow!

Nishita: We made a pact, looking at her: this would be the place where we all do it the first time. The others have already kept the promise. They already lost it. I’m the only one left. I wanted to lose it with you.

I stared at her.

Me: What are you even talking about, Nishi?

Nishita: (hesitatingly) If you’re not ready, I can wait. (Punched on the ground) Shit! I should have told you earlier.

She said, looking down at the water.

Me: I’m ready. It’s just that I’m nervous. I never looked at you that way before.

She smiled like she understood something I hadn’t said. Probably feeling that it’d be my first time too.

Nishita: No worries, dear. We’ll go as slow as you need. And if it doesn’t go perfectly, I won’t judge. You’re pure gold as a person. That’s what matters to me now.

I agreed. I did not yet understand what I was agreeing to. We moved to the mattress. I started undressing. She stopped me with a hand on my chest.

Nishita: Panda, Wait. I need to call my friends first.

Me: Your friends? Are they going to watch us having sex?

Nishita: No, silly. I’m just telling them the pact is complete. Last member reporting for duty (Winked).

We laughed hard at it. The video call surprisingly connected despite the location we were in, but only after a few buffering attempts.

She made them guess the location. When they figured it out, their hooting started. Just a girl gang screaming in surprise.

Then one of them asked who the lucky guy was. She turned the camera towards me. I waved like a man who had just been pulled into a war he didn’t understand what it was about.

They asked a few rapid-fire questions: how we met, how long we had known each other, the usual. Then wished us well and told me to take care of her. I promised that I would.

The call ended. We finished undressing. She left her green netted panties on for a moment. It was see-through.

When she saw my penis was still soft, she smiled and looked sideways, giggling shyly as she had expected it.

She took her panties off, held them in one hand, and squeezed the damp fabric around my dick. Her panty released cold droplets.

The cool wetness made my dick twitch. She did it again. This time slower, watching my face all the time. Mouth slightly open, eyes wide. This animalistic lusty look can shake mountains, let alone my dick!

The water from the cloth and the rain, lake water, her wetness and everything else finally woke my dick up.

Within no time, my penis hardened in her hand while she kept the soaked green lacey underwear pressed against me, smiling as she had just solved a very personal puzzle.

So it wasn’t the water that made me erect. The gesture obviously. She looked up at me, eyes sparkling with mischief, hair sticking to her cheeks. Her expressions were sexy.

Nishita: There. That’s better!

And the way she said it while already moving closer to me made it clear that whatever happened next between us was going to change the temperature of the entire forest! Not just that, our orgasmic moans will rock this valley.

That’s it for this chapter. Next one is coming soon. Let me know your comments below or hit me up at [email protected]. See you next time. Until then, stay horny folks!
