1.I, me, myself……………

Charusweety1312 is online.
Charusweety1312’s new status message– a lawyer would anything to win his case, he would even tell the truth
09:30 PM
me: u der?

Of course,he’ll be there, I reasoned myself while pressing the enter key. Why else in the world has he lighted up that little green blaring dot besides his name?

I always tease him as magician as he prefers to stay invisible all the time. So that green light is all lit up for me –like a traffic light. Seriously this monotonous google talk always reminds of traffic light-red,green ,and thankfully no yellow ones. How I miss my good old yahoo chats with all its buzzes and voices!! Lol. I am humanizing all these machines. Weird sense of imagination!!! That’s what he comments. Well it happens…

Oh I could sense some movement over the other side. Good! Else I could go on and on with this monologue. The mighty Gtalk is humble enough to inform me that he is typing. Good. At least I could understand that he is not dead over his desktop.

loverboy : sry. gt a call. C u in a moment.

Oh, he re he goes. Thank god, dad doesn’t see this sentence. Else he’ll start his lecture on the necessity of using proper and correct English. Well , I still can’t understand how he could manage typing all the letters of word.(I think he is the only one in chat history, if any., who types “hello” and “how are you”. Just imagine)

So there is enough time to continue my monologue and bore you up with my personal details. Well I’m sarangi, charu for short. I do prefer charu, except in my resume. So none of my chat friend know that I’m born with this disability(of course, my name, well don’t let my grandma hear that , else it’ll be her turn to tell how musical my name is ). In fact , coming to think of it, our entire family love giving lectures on anything under the sun. so you’ll never be at a loss of subject back home. It is a wonder that each one makes others listen to him. Apart from the chatter-box syndrome my home is quite ok with each minding their business. I’m the only Hitler . So far grades are steady, dad and mom doesn’t mind any of my or my little brother’s attitude, well of course they are not quite amicable to the idea of tearing the house apart.
Coming to my honorable self, I’m also a quite ok-person, with little self-obsession with occasional moodiness and regular looniness. ( got it from HP of course). Clumsy, careless but sincere and “god-fearing”, love friends, books , movies, a horrible cook , but enjoys food – in short, as I said, an ok-person. I’m never cool enough to be in cool dudes , but not quite bright enough to be a nerd,neither a pure loser, nor a topper –a typical average. Aam admi, if u can call it. At present law is my cup of tea- so enjoying a a very lazy law school life .All is well!!!( in fact loved watching 3 idiots admist the maritime law lecture)

But apart from all these , I’m a single – in fact more precisely a desperate single and this is my tale of my struggle in this virtual world.

******************************************************************************
2.Prince charming…..

Loverboy is typing………
Loverboy : sry yaar , got a meeting. Catch u later
Loverboy has signed out.

Oops. There he goes again!!! . Well, it is a very regular one. As I told you, he is a sort of magician. He will be invisible most of the time and will make escape act amidst the conversation. It is his style. Each time he does it, I decide not to talk to him next time. But you know the rest of the story, rite? Anyway , we are left with enough time to ponder upon His Highness.

In short, he is Ziya (don’t ask me his surname, he never tells me that), but like me prefers virtual name. I always felt that loverboy is a sort of childish one, though never I told him.He is a typical IT guy (sorry for the overuse of typical, can’t help about my standards of typical, ok-ok. Superb, boring ). I met him in one of those social networking sites during my plus two vacation and has been chatting ever since. He is also ok-ok. Very jovial, loves music, sort of funny and boring at time- after all an engineer na? Well, we are good friends ever since. It is not that we (or rather I) doesn’t want to change the status of our relation. But nothing have so far happened. So we just remain as friends. I love chatting with him and we are never out of subject. He is caring, understanding and all that . But he seems to be missing my hints.Hope you got my problem !!

May be it is just the typical Indian gene in me or the fear of rejection , I could never tell him directly. I have made it clear to him several times, that I’m single and is waiting for my Prince Charming. But he never hears it properly unless he want to tease me.

But he is now a big part of my life, or I feel so. I could not spend a week without chatting with him. In fact , he is not at all my type. Just opposite to what I have imagined . He is not that lively, not tall, and doesn’t have glasses , weird ,right? . But I still adores him like anything. Though I should admit that I’m still confused about the fact whether he is just a crush or something more. In fact that makes it harder to propose to him. So to sum up, I am totally messed up.

FBIonline: U ther monkey?

Oh !!! it is my best friend pinging –the only person who is aware of this whole mess. And truly this is what friends are for. The one who advices and at the same time conspires for the next move. Again weird right?? Just like me, weirdos pair up soon.!!! Long live my dear friend.

******************************************************************************
3. 2 idiots!!!

FBIonline’s new status message : A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.
Me: hey hiii!!! Nice msg
FBIonline: dank u dank u, so wats up there??
Me: nothng spl !!
FBIonline: smthng fishy.was there some one spl???
Me: yups and he went offline as usual!!
FBIonline: U idiot!! How many time should I tell u.
Me: ya I know. Bt……
FBIonline: wat but!!!! …@#$#%#%3 just fill as u like.
Me: FBIonline : SMID !!! oh this stupid system of mine needs to be restarted AGAIN!!! Wait I’ll come now
FBIonline has signed out.

SMID- the very typical friend of mine. Short for Stupid, Monkey Idiot and Donkey!!! Height of girlish swearing, at least our gang’s. Well guys and gals, meet my best friend- Serah. If there is a minimum girlish a girl can get, well its her. We used to call her Sid rather than Serah. Right from KGs we were together. But it did took another 10 years to call exactly a cult. Interestingly, it was after leaving school that we became closer. To be frank, my craziness over my prince charming brought us together. In fact, it was to her I confided my unfathomable love story!!

As I said, she did tried to make me understand about the “consequences” ,(and she is still trying) , but of course you know love is blind. At times, she makes sense, but most times I just shut my ears. Well, during those stupid spells, she will console and help in making crazy plans. Well it was she who proposed the “Jane Tu Ya Jane Na” and it turned out really horrible.( Well let us reserve that story for later) .

FBIonline is online.
FBIonline is typing….
FBIonline: U still there??
Me: yups
FBIonline: So…..wat happned 2 ur ystrday’s resolutiom
Me: I knw . but can’t help wen I see him online
FBIonline: common dear, either u tell him or else leave it.
Me : neither
FBIonline: K, jst dnt d another Dev D once he finds a gal
Me: no probs, u’ll be there na 4 giving me a company.
FBIonline : ny where, ny time. Bt u will hav 2 UK sometime.
Me: wat??
FBIonline: yups , its weird rite, but I gt a proposal from UK guy.
Me: oh god!! I hope u r not joking!!
FBIonline: wat 2 say!!! Typical Indian family arranged marriage syndrome.
Me: but how did u knw?
FBIonline: I jst spied it out of dad’s mail. U knw these ppl. They wil break the news until the stupid guy turns up!! As if santa claus’s present!!

No wonder she calls herself FBI. I just exclaimed myself. But she has made a point .Indian match-making is really weird game. After the number of divorces I have witnessed during my clerkship, I started doubting the astrologers. In fact when law starts to control your brain, you’ll start doubting everything – right from your own decisions!!! It is true that there is no lawyer who doesn’t take both the sides.

Sent at 10:16 PM
FBIonline: Leave it dear , let us see how it turns out!!
Me: :) yups, so even u gt a guy
FBIonline: y idiot? Cant I have 1, do u think I’m 371 :) ??
Me: nopes, u r the last person I expected to be engaged. Not mature dear, and IDIOT, if u meant homo its not 371 , its 377!!! :)
FBIonline: :) whatever, and leave ur worries 2. Its early enough 2 back out from this stupid chase da. Ur guy will cme 2 u, if he is meant 4 u.
Me: lol. Ya, may be, let the time reveal its own plan. So that is what v r, IDIOTS!! Let us play it that way :)
FBIonline: ya 2 idiots!!! Dear, my system is still troubling, I think it gt a cold, gt 2 giv it some anti-virus shots
Me: lol. Ok da, then . me signing off!!! Gn and tc
FBIonline: same 2 u. and don’t hav ny b’lore dreams
Me: ok !! and you enjoy ur UK dreams
FBIonline: uuuuuuu……..#@#$#%$^%

As I signed off, I truly felt better. It is true that no one could replace your friends and especially special friends like her. Someone whom I can call even at the mid of the night and share my stupid dreams. There was an email about your friends and true friends. Your friend may be wondering about your love life but only a true friend will blackmail with it. Only your true friend could see your silent tears. There may be many to share your grief, but only a true friend could laugh along with you in your happiness. Wow!!

That’s quite a thought!! I’m really good in this na?

So let us call it a night with a final thought - A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world....(thanks to FBI for her orkut status message)


******************************************************************************

4.I too have a love story………

Charusweety is online
Charusweety1312’s new status message : It was not into my ears you whispered, but to my heart. It was not into my lips you kissed, but to my soul – Ralph

Hmmm…..every friend of mine is online except for the one I’m looking for.

Nopes, I am not looking for anyone, just signed in to check my internship application status (which will be a rejection, of course. quite used to it now. We have started the joke that one of us will surely get a heart attack if ever he got accepted.) I should remember my resolutions. I tried to reason myself as I scribbled down the pages of paint ( Best stress reliever, I testify). Well, as predicted, two direct rejections and another in a more subtle manner, but rejection of course. Internships in law firms are really stressful (may be in comparison with lazy, jovial law school environment) , but more stressful is this application procedure. Either they won’t reply to your mails or reply too late ( your patience threshold limit long worn away). Even if they do reply , it is really hard to understand whether they have accepted your application or rejected it (in their lingo : will be considered for future slots) . The only other thing that can be compared to this is reading in a cricket match report in THE HINDU. It will be beautifully articulated. But the one who read it will be still wondering who won the match.

Shereen: hi da, y didn’t turn up for the college tday
Me: hi, jst didn’t feel so
Shereen: oH!! Tday is Monday, I 4gt tht. As usual Monday morning illness ?? :)
Me: lol. Nthng like that. Jst nt feelng well :D
Shereen: ok ok
Me: so hows ur chap?
Shereen: well hes fine :). no office 4 him. So not online.

It is an interesting tale. (Well, truly nothing interesting.) Happened as usual script. They met on some community site, started chatting and finally he proposed to her and unsurprisingly she said yes. Well in fact I have predicted it earlier itself ,like how this story is going to go. Firsthand experience truly identifies the symptoms easily. I saw her going through the same stages as I have-smiling without reason, impatience when net gets slow, irritation when there is no connection, checking mails more frequently and luckily no frustration part. But luckily she didn’t have my frustration phase. The guy was somehow not stupid enough to ignore the signs , so he proposed at right time. All I was left was to give her I-told-you-so look. Anyway the guy was cute enough to land in surprise for the Christmas (truly Santa Claus) and showers her with the most memorable moments. Lucky girl, I thought (Don’t let my mother hear that , else she’ll start a lecture for no reason). The only negative effect of this proposal was I was left as Single , Desperate Single of the class, which in fact make me more desperate.

Shereen : U ther?
Me: yups, :) was thinking about your story. Surely u guys will be a character if I write a book.
Shereen: hheehe. Ya sure. Bt I’ll claim royalty. Hey yaar u knew abt rosh??
Me: wats up wid her.

Roshni another classmate- similar story, I guess we need to have a book to keep log of all these ‘chat love stories’

Shereen: her guy na? he seems to be saying the same things to all gals around.
Me: oh thts bad!! How did she found out?
Shereen: I guess , she logged into his account somehow, nyway she really give him a shock through the phon. But these guys u knw, how mean they can be.
Me: y? is he blackmailing her or something?
Shereen : sort of !! he threatens to publish their chat history.
Me: oh that’s bad!!!
Shereen: but who is gonna believe a chat history, that is the lamest threat I hav heard :)

I automatically clicked on chat off records. Why taking risk. But, its really bad. No wonder, mam is giving lectures . I always asked her what it hurts to flirt with an unknown guy. But it seems it really hurts. So I need to correct my earlier statement. There are not mere love stories , but tragic ones too.. ohh gosh , here comes my tragedy. I guess I could not duck it…

Jumbo man: hi darling, u didn’t go 2 coll tdaY??

******************************************************************************



5.My dearest boring friend

Jumbo man: hi darling, u didn’t go 2 coll tdaY??
Jumbo Man is online
Jumbo Man: I always thought that only fools fall in love, but today I’m happy to call myself a fool.
Me: well , I guess, nopes :P
Jumbo Man: oh wat hppned dear?
Me: nthng much, jst overslept
Jumbo Man: ohh I knw!!! Last nite u dreamt of me, and so slept whole nite :D

Oh my god!! There he goes, this is his sense of humour, and can’t you call it tragic? Well meet my dearest boring friend. Hope you all recall about the “jane tu ya jane na” story of ours. My dear FBI was the master planner, but it did not turn out as it ought to be, and end result is this.

Me: may be, nitemares can be tiring
Jumbo Man: whatever, just feel it.
Me: feel wat , the terror :)
Jumbo Man: not so funny, oh god, why u make gals without heart.
Me: hope you are not talking about me
Jumbo Man: nopes dear, just about my fate, hey wait don’t go ok, my boss is coming this way, c u in a moment
Me: take your time… I am going J ,hav btr things 2 do
Jumbo Man: ya bzy ppl, nyway don’t hav tym 2 argue nw, will c u la8r
Me: thank god, I’ll get your boss a treat.
Jumbo Man: :P

Truly thank god. He can be such a bore at times. But still I never feel like deleting him from my friend list. Don’t ask me the reason , it’s just like that .

Well talking about him, he was an old friend of FBI . back from her engineering college. To start with , he was such a bore that I added him to my friend list to share the boredom (that’s what friends are for ,as per FBI) and it is fun to c us both ducking away as soon we saw him online. But he seems to be talented in tracking invisible people. So ,somehow we three of us ended up group chatting…it should be more or less called group swearing . He always added himself to our secret cult and used to call us three idiots. I seriously doubt him having a serious crush on FBI, but no clue whatsoever.

So as I was saying about Jane Tu Ya Jane Na, it was the day after watching that movie, FBI was hit by this thunder bolt idea. She reasoned that the best catalyzer for any relation is nothing but a pure sense of jealousy. All the guys (of course gals too, though we never admit) are possessive to their dear ones. Why don’t we bring in some guy, and let us if your prince charming is getting possessive, she added with a smile.

“Yups. Not a bad idea, but what if he doesn’t turn possessive”.

“Well , that means he doesn’t care about you a bit”

“Is it? Mmmm………I guess we need not do anything like that, let the time reveal its plan.”

“Are you afraid to face the reality ? Come on grow up!!!” she rolled her eyes.

“Ya , I guess so, but where will we get such a person, to make him believe that I’m truly interested on”

“mmm…..lets think”

“Hey how about our Jumbo Man!! Yups, hes ok”

Though FBI finally agreed to it, she did only after a 5 rounds of rolling eyes. Well, at first, it turned up well. I indeed noticed some progress with my prince charming, He indeed complained that I am chatting less to him. It was indeed an improvement , but that is it. Nothing more, and nothing less. I continued to be comfortably single( ready to mingle, of course).

But worst part is from the last Valentine’s Day, my boring friend started dedicating songs (all love songs, of course) to me. And whenever he catch hold , it is as if I’m his girl friend. Oh God save me out here. I am just after a guy and why can’t he ever understand this simple thing.

Well I gues I shud sign off , before I get any more weirder.

Jumbo Man: U ther??

Charusweety is offline and can't receive messages right now.

GOD TALKS :WELL, WELL , NOW SHE MENTIONS ME, I SHUD ALSO ADD A WORD BEFORE EVERY ONE SIGNS OFF ; NOTHING MUCH KIDS, JUST AN OLD SAYING, THE BEST WAY TO MAKE ME LAUGH IS DISCUSS YOUR WITH ME, BECOZ U KIDS NEVER KNOW, WHAT ALL SURPRISES I HAVE IN STORE FOR YOU.


******************************************************************************

6. My Big Brother

BigB is online.
TGIF :)

Well, well, guys here is one character I would like to introduce to you, my big brother.He even renamed himselffor us(of course, the virtual name). Big B stands for Big BOSS- Brother of Sweet Sisters.

Our Big B........"sweet" is the first adjective that comes to my mind, because he is such a sweet and caring person, listens to all your little worries and gives timely advice, he's such a good listener that the only syllable he mostly uses is his 'ok' and faithfully laughs at all your Pjs. But this is just a part of him. He is also person with good visions and wants to serve humanity. In addition, a dreamer in making (his blogs are testimonials for that) .Well in short a good friend and most importantly a good person to come across.

I am too lavish in his praise, am not I? what to do, he is one of my favorite person and after FBI,he is my best friend (I know girls are overusing and that too erroneously these adjectives, but I like to call people really close my best so-and-so, I guess I should find something superlative for best, may be bestest would do ). Though he happens to be my second cousin and five years elder , we are good pals,(may be same mental age, as he often calls me immature).

And something we share in common is that he is also heart-broken about his romantic interest. His greatest crush was none other than the Mollywood actress Koel. He could go on discussing about the beauty of her hair for days together. It is funny to see him sigh over her picture, lover’s sigh. But due to his ‘ill-fate’(as he terms) , Koel got married last month and whole media was crazy over it. And my poor bhaiyya is also sad since then(thank god, he is not sporting a beard. well he do want to try goatee, but for a different reasons).


Me:hey boss,wats up?
BigB:ohh hi,roof here, what about ther?
Me: oh plz, you are cracking that joke for the 100th time, do grow up
Big B: hhehe, ya sis, can’t help on hearing on your trying-to-be-cool accent

Ooops I forgot, he is lot frank, when he wants to be, so can’t play tricks with him.

Me: ya I knw, so wats this status msg, ny dedication to koel.
Big B:lol, but don’t remind me, sigh
Me: oh god!! Sme 1 is turning dramatic
Big B: no da, well I am just happy its weekend ,thts y TGIF-thank god its Friday
Me: ohhh lyk tht , ya happy weekend, so wats d plan,ny trekking or party?
Big B: nthng wanna get a good sleep, nd of course couple of cocktail would be good.its summer na?
Me:: you drunkard, J nd how come thers summer in Mumbai in November?
Big B: becozz vrything is hot over here,especially galss
Me: omg, you little pervert.
Big B: lol, common , nyway don’t spill these things to our family, u knw I hav an image to keep.
Me: ya ya, u boys ,how decent you are before the aunties and uncles., a mister perfect. Y no 1 sees the little devils behind.
Big B: its an old trick, can’t teach old immature like you.
Me: :P
Big B: hey btw, I told u abt a campaign for helping poor kids na.i am going ther tmrw.
Me:oh ya, tht getng old cycles, nd reassembling and givng it to kids na, thts great,good luck.
Big B: yups, they are really in need for such things. I guess that will do them some good, rather than seling out in the name of slumdogs. oh I hate this system, y people are falling for it while we cud ourself make a difference,
Me: ya I know,I too believe in you,, once you go for mere speech , you wont b havng enuff time for doing ur wrk, tell me if I cud be of any help.
Big B: you could help me 2 design a flier 4 these stuff, so cud convince ppl 2 donate their old bicycles and other thngs
Me: yups , would do that .lets make a difference in our own way, so hv u heard d rumours abt koel??
Big B: ohh wat??
Me: hehee, I thought u r not interested.
Big B: common dear….
Me: well ther is a rumour that koel’s lyf nt so happily –ever- after. Sme says tht shes gng 4 a divorce.
Big B: oh thts bad, poor her, she must b vry sad nw
Me: lol
Big B: seriously tht idiot guy doesn’t deserve her.
Me: lol. Ya if only she knws tht her prince charming is waiting here.
Big B: mmmmm,………….u knw in my horoscope its written tht thers high chance of marrying a divorcee
Me: oh god,bhaiyya shes not even divorced.u r very optimistic.
Big B: hehhe can’t help. Nd wat abt ur ur lov story
Me: same old thng. No progress, I guess I am not gd enuff
Big B: common dear nthng lyk tht u knw guys like only 2 types of gal
Me : wats tht
Big B: I mean as gf ok? Dumb, nd dumber JMe: lol. Thts sweet.
Big B: ur man will come dear, JMe: thnks bro. nd gud luck u 2 4 koel JBig B: hehhee , who knws J, nyway bye 4 nw…
Me: ohh is ur miss cocktail waiting, gn then
Big B: yaa , gn 2 u 2 , sd

Well, that was nice cozy chat, praise the mighty internet. We havnt talked half of these things when we met in the real world. I still recall boring vacations when these cousins would come home. We had our own inhabitations in those clumsy teen years and never talked much. It was only after their family relocated to Mumbai and big bro started using net , v started chatting ( at leat I am senior to him as a netizen). Anyway ever he is my other partner in all times. To quote myself, life is weird.
mmmm…….no one is online , but I am not feeling sleepy, after all it’s a weekend and its just 12 in d night , too early for me.

Well, why don’t I give a try to rekindle the creative flames of my blog until some insomaniac like me turns up.ya will do that …….and has got a right thing in mind :)

7.Just For You, My love!!!

Charusweety -Once U care 4 a person..U will always do the same. Coz., what's in UR mind may escape... But., what's in UR heart will remain 4ever...

Chit-chat-and-coffe.blogspot.com
Your face flashed through my mind many a times today. Your smiling face. I don’t know why it reminds me of breaking waves with all its white salty sprays. It may be because sea has been very special place for both of us. Have I not told you about my weird fantasies . I know I have bored you with a lot of stupid ideas. But alas, you have heard all of them patiently, smiling. Did I ever tell you how much I love your smile. Ya, I have.! I think its for nth time. Still I love it more dearly each time you smile. May be that’s why I turn up with more silly ideas and insist in telling you all those just to see your crooked smile again. So I’ll tell you my latest dreams. I just want to sleep in a beach for a night. With the cool sand forming the bed and star lit sky my canopy, listening to the breaking waves and take in all those salty breeze, of course you should be beside. We could just lay there for the whole night never wanting the dawn to crack up. I’ll tell you more stupid things and we could built as many sand castles as we like. We could play hide and seek with the crawling beam of lonely light house. We could hide ourselves in those dark corners and finally when morning comes, we could part like stranger!!!!


mmm......not bad rite, really weird sense of imagination, else how could I write about someone whom I have never met. (Well not literally, as I adore all his smiling snaps and devotedly comments for all his uploaded pictures in Orkut.). Hope, my blogger uncle will not notice this post (genes on my maternal side are really damn sensitive to everything that involves a romance factor).

Coming to think of the blog, isn’t it bit cheesy ? but I guess to fall in love is an agreement to become romantic where you can never speak the language of BBC or CNBC. You will automatically tune in to MTV or like. And that is the beauty of it. I recall the toughest guy of our class (he could never complete a sentence without using an asshole ,or f-word, I really hate that ). But when he fall for a cute junior, it was really funny. He could pretend to be Shakespeare and no one will notice the difference, because his lines were that dramatic. What all love could bring.

Gian87: hey u ther?

Oh god, yet another boring friend, he is also fbi’s contribution. I should recheck my whole contact. I might be boozing when all these friend requests are accepted. Well, anyways as i could not see any one else, I should bear with him.

Me: yups , in whole
Gian87: lol. Thts really funny.

mmm....whats so funny in that . I guess i was the loser in jokes, well i am better

me: ya ya.
Gian87: hey yaar, haven’t seen u ol lately.wat hppned?
Me: jst gt bzy yaar.
Gian87: who r u ? magistrate?? Evn he wnt b this busy.

Ya , of course, he won’t be spending half time to duck off whenever he see you i see online. I smiled at myself.

Me : lol....
Gian87: heyy 1 doubt.

Oh here he starts again. Either he is super-intelligent, geek- character or he want to be so. Anyways he will start some discussion and gets all heated up ,with little participation from mine. My earlier self (the all- too- mature , no- nonsense -teenage-i –was) would have enjoyed it any time as I was more interested in happenings around the globe rather than turmoil within. Actually that was exactly what I was trying say earlier. How falling in love has changed me. In my teenage, I always wondered why I never have the usual teenage dilemas. But now I understood that I was then trying to be an adult, rather than being what I am. I used to hate watching soaps and reading the so called silly love stories. Getting dressed was never a concern as I rarely used even a talcum powder. May be I was just not aware of myself. Well , all history now (FBI will back up the story ,as she is the sole witness for all my cosmetic experiments ). So lets get back to my boring friend number II.


Me: ya?
Gian87: Well, y does the cases takes a very long time to come to a decision?by the court? or is it the lawyers takes a lot of time to demand more money frm people?

As if his life and death depends on it!!
me: lol
Gian87: please tell
me: gd questions
Gian87 :danx
Me: i wud love 2 answer that Jmmmm.......


oh common, i am not getting excuses...what happened 2 my liar gene.

Me: but alas. Oh i have gotta a call, brb
Gian87: call at this tym of night, might be important, bye yarr

Lol...oh god, what a big fat liar I am. I guess, it is time for me to pack up and go back to cozy cot and resume my dreams about the beach and smile .

8. Gone With The Wind


Me: hey tell me in detail, wt hppned??
FBIonline: well, u recall our good old reunion, d one v wer so proud of in organzng.
Me: yups
FBIonline: well , it seems to have done d trick.
Me: oh thts bad, y is all happening to us??
I know, I’m trying to be a drama queen, but alas, how could it happen in a single day, and too I am filled with guilt to recall, was arranged by ourselves. Our good old reunion. We were so excited over its success as almost all the people who started with us in KGs were present. In fact, it was a master child of myself and FBI to organize an informal function especially after attending the boring ,pompous reunion of our high school. It was FBI who selected the romantic
destination of our beach for the gathering. We literally had a walk down a memory lane and recollected the people who were with us during our first year of schooling. The reflections of sincere friendship, the one rooted in the innocence of our self. Thanks to Orkut, Twitter, Face book and message offers of mobile companies, we were able to reach almost everyone including Aravind and Silpa. (though I regret that now). In fact , it was interesting to note that everyone were equally excited about the meeting, may be they too were fed up of superficial relations and wanted something true for a change. In short, it was quite a memorable evening. As we sat down
there teasing each other, listening to the years of story, we were truly transported back to our good old days. We both forgot our month long hardwork on hearing the tone of gratitude from our old friends.
Mmmm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ohh I am getting sentimental and see where had my train of thoughts lead me to.. So as I was saying, how could they fall in love after a single meeting?

FBIonline: how could they fall in love after a single meeting?

9.Rendezvous

Charusweety is online
Who said I am suffering from insanity, I am loving it!!!

Well well , just another weekend, in fact a boring one!!! I know inertness is just part of me. But there is great distinction between being jobless and being lazy. It is always cool if you could choose to be sleepy. During the study break, there would be always heap of untouched modules and a semester worth of portions to be covered. But all I would want is to cuddle up in my couch and get a sound sleep. Most time I succeed to get some. However during the semester breaks like today , I can’t even get a wink of sleep, even if tries hard. Anyways thanks to mighty web, I could help myself from dying out of boredom. The word ‘help’ is little misnomer as I am letting myself get caught even by my boring friend.

JumboMan is online
Jumbo Man’s new status message- It is said that Japaneese has invented a camera with such a high speed that it could capture a women with her mouth shut

Me: hi
JumboMan: heyyy hi dear, wats up?
Me: hey Mr.anti-women, dnt dare putting up msgs lyk tht again :) but I lykd this 1
JumboMan: :) good, well take it as a dedication 4 u chatter-box.
Me: common, dnt call me tht, infact u r d one who complains I nvr chat wid u
JumboMan: poor ppl lyk us r never privileged 2 chat wd u Ms.Highness
Me: ohh dnt start tht again
JumboMan: lol, so finally days of freedom aftr d xam
Me: yups, and days of boredom 2!!!
JumboMan: ohh, so hw was ur xam?
Me: pretty ok, at least I cud understand d questions this tym, thts gr8 improvmnt
JumboMan: study well, dear
Me: ohh so concerned!!!!
JumboMan: yes of course I hav 2 b abt my future wife na??
Me: shut up!!

Yups, here he goes, I am really nuts to ping him at the first place. Seriously, what am I going to do with this guy. I know emotions are not silly play things. But how could I get out of this mess.

JumboMan: hey u ther? Sry I wont bring tht up again
Me: :)
JumboMan: bt wat 2 do, I cant convince my poor mind na
Me: uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu……………..
JumboMan : jst joking da
Me: mmmmm……..
JumboMan: I 4gt 2 ask, its FBI’s b’day this Friday na
Me: ya
Loverboy is online
I never believed in angels until I met one.

Oh good, someone is online and that someone is someone whom I have decided not to bother about. Surely, he has come visible which is indeed a signal for me. But today I would stick to my resolve.

JumboMan: so gt ny plans?
Me: plans?? 4 wat?
JumboMan : abt hw 2 become American president….yaar u r nt listening, actually wat r u dng ther…..abt FBI’s b’day
Me: oh ya, sry was chkng sme videos, so gt distracted
JumboMan: I seriously wonder wat type of video is tht distracting ;)
Me: Shut up….wt shud v plan 4 her b’day??
JumboMan: well, smthng lyk a surprise gift, u think abt it.

mmmm……My grey cells seems to be all jammed. I could not concentrate anything other than little green dot that is still avoiding me. He has been online for nearly five minutes now and has not ping me yet. I know he would never come visible unless he wanted to let anyone know that he is online and is free to chat…usually a signal for me. But I hate initiating the chat as if I am so earnest to talk to him( it is not that I am not), alas I always have to do it. I guess guys would be laughing at this crazy theory, but I am sure gals would like to be treated as privilege class even for a chat. Whatever…….anyways I am not going to ping him today or should I? what if he goes offline? And what if he doesn’t turn up for rest of the day?oohhhhh….. here I goes

me: hi
loverboy: ohh so u finally hav some tym 2 spare
me: wat?
Loverboy: nopes, jst tht I saw u online right when I signed up, but it took u this long to ping
Me: ohh so u saw me, I thought u had gne blind, btw u cud hav at ny tym ping me also
Loverboy: nopes, if sme1 is bzy y shud I bothr them
Me: ohhh rly!!!! U r so thoughtful :P


Maybe, he is right. I should not have worried so much about who starts the talk. ya , so silly of me. And besides why did I decide to avoid him, what is there harm in chatting with your pal. {lol, I could get a chameleon of the year award. Well . let the heart rule than the brain }

Loverboy: lol…..so wats up gal , hw was d xams?
Me: it was ok
Loverboy: nw I cud c u online, u dnt need 2 stay away from the system nymor
Me: dnt say tht, I gues I was looking at FaceBook more than any of my law books during the “study” leave.
Loverboy: ohh so u didn’t hav only 4 me??
Me: lol….y ? did u miss me
Loverboy: yups a bit :)
Me: :)

Thank god that he could not see my face now fully lit up by a 1000 watt smile (the only thing I like about myself).

JumboMan: hey u dreamer, u ther??

Ohh, I forgot this guy in my excitement. Now I should bid him farewell somehow. But I don’t know he seems to be less annoying these days. And let me admit with guilt that at times I enjoy talking with him. Despite all his boring attitude, he seems to be good at heart and a very sincere friend too. Now that is a mess , right? Well leave it.

Me: ya, me here ,just thinking pal…wat kind of surprise u mean, something lyk surprise gift?
JumboMan: ya sort of !!!
Me: good yaar, thts really sweet of u. Infact I 4gt her b’day
JumboMan: wat?? U two r my gd pals na, hw could I ?
Me: lol

Loverboy: helonss. Still ther?
Me: yups. Jst a frnd ol
Loverboy: ohhh ya ya, bzy ppl..might b ur boring frnd rite?
Me: lol, yups , gd guess
Loverboy: c, u dnt even hav tym 2 talk 2 me

I just hate when he plays the victim, but it is good to see him jealous (at least pretending to be). It is one situation when I love FBI’s’Jane Tu Ya

Me: lol,I guess sme1 is gtng jealous J
Loverboy: hehheee……nopes , just pulling ur legs yaar
Me: oh rly??
Loverboy: yaa, and I knw u r my good frnd :D

Ohhhhh, I could feel my 1000 watt smile discharging to a smirk. Well, he doesn’t really care whom I am talking to or not. I am just a friend among friends. How stupid am I? mmmm……….hope I’ll get through this madness soon.

Loverboy : ok then yaar , gt 2 go, got a client meetng tday, cnt afford to be late.
Loverboy signed out of chat

Ya, Ya,…. As if his meeting with Obama, good riddance to him

JumboMan: hey dnt think that hard , ur brain may explode…. :)
Me: lol….ya…yaar I’ll surely think of something, nw feeling bit sleepy…cn I go?
JumboMan: k dear, even I’m going, take care and lets call it our Operation Rendezvous
Me: wat?? Wts it meaning?
JumboMan: well , I got it from a novel, well its sounds good na, its sort of like a secret meeting or tht, nyway v cn take it, its good 2 say na.. ;)
Me: yaa,….good , so 3 cheers 2 our OPERATION RENDEVOUZ, lets make it as exciting as it is
JumboMan: Bye then yaar
Me: byeee

10. Heartbreaks and Dreams

Charusweety is online
May be some women aren't meant to be tamed, May be they just need to run free till they find some one just as wild to run with them

BigB: stupid, I meant koel only….poor gal , wat all things she must suffer, I told u long bak na tht stupid doesn’t deserve her…..
Me: ya ya…….

Me: oh god, u already updated ur status message, I sensed tht sm1 is happy but not this much :)
BigB: : )…………..all i could do is these things only na ?? , hop I cud hav talk 2 her, nd say “its ok”
Me: yaaarrr u r 2 muchhh….
BigB: hehhehe, I knw, jst kidding yaar, hws lyf?
Me: 5ne, jst gtng along, btw its an IITians book na, “heartbreaks and dreams”
BigB: ya saw tht in book review, havnt bought it yet, bt the title is very catchy na…
Me: I find it contradictive….. hw cud heartbreaks and dreams go together
BigB: yaar, only dreams leads to heartbreak, u knw somthng ..d happiest man in this world is one who doesn’t think or care, bt I doubt he knws wat happiness is, in fact only heartbreaks can lead u 2 new and btr dreams
Me: omg…..sme1 is gtng philosophical :) ……..well yaar, despite many heartbreaks I cudnot find a btr dream..
BigB: u mean abt ur guy?? Actually I started wondering wat u see so wonderful in tht guy, take him as another chat friend da….
Me: I dunno yaar, I seriously dnt knw myself……but he somehw makes me so special, sme1 who has touched my heart lyk no1 b4, or may be…I am imagining all of it myself, he may b jst a guy I got used 2 and am nw finding reasons to justify him.welll, its weird na 2 talk abt some1 who I havnt even met, or v dnt need 2 meet a person 2 knw him fully……………………….ohh god, I am so confused…….u ther?
BigB: ya ya,,, I ws jst listeng 2 u, its true tht u r confused…..bt my policy is take risk wid ur lyf…..its btr to do something and go wrong rather than lamenting over smethng u havnt done,……..welll dear, u shud b alert, and don’t let urself hurt ……
Me: mmmm……………..thnks yaar, well as u say lets c if this heartbreaks bring btr dreams : )
BigB: yaaaaa……….lets c :) , k thn c u la8r, its raining here, am rly tempted 2 go out nd get a hot steaming coffee.

Me: ohoooo……….u already are, man
BigB: gd gd :) u r gtng btr , bye 4 nw thn :)
Me: bye byee………….

Welll, well………….I guess I should get back to my work. Actually I signed in to the net to download some snaps to make a birthday album for my dear Sarah alias FBI, and see I get myself end up in chatting. Seriously, I am getting addicted to this stuff ( by the way, is there some terminology for chatting addiction, chatomania may be, I love these technical words, it feels better to say I’m clautrohobic orr , rathr than admitting I am a silly old pie afraid of lifts and anything that crawls )….Well. I guess its problem of our whole generation. I recall a speech by the actor Siddharth about the problem of short attention span of our generation. Even while watching a movie, after ten minutes we start typing away messages or updating our FB status. And chatting adds to it as you can blabber to each other for sometime and just sign out when you gets bored, and of course , multiple window suits your mood swing unlike the mobiles or other means ,where you are stuck up with one person. So I should not feel as guilty as I ought to be, as of course technology is to be blamed and not me…..loll………….what all am I making up. He always tell me I ought to have taken a psychology course rather than law with my mind blowing theories(of course , he says that such weird theories are funny that it blows wind out of you of laughing). But I guess little does he know that a lawyer is the biggest psychologist. Else how could you be so convincing about something that even you don’t believe. Anyways, I should sign out for some time and concentrate on my gift. A friend like her doesn’t deserve anything other than best.
