Two-in-One

Eh I have a written another story in my blog yah…

Oh is it? So you don’t have much work it seems

Eh, nothing like that yaa, I just write when I feel like writing, that’s it…

So what’s the theme all about?



Well, it’s a bit unconventional embarrassing story…

I see... okay I will read it later, have some work now, Have to go to a meeting in a short while...

Eh but please can you read it now and go…

What is this yaa? I can read your story anytime…

But I want you to read it now

Why are you so adamant? I said I have a meeting in a short while and I have to prepare for it...

Please it won’t take much of a time, just quick 5 mins, you are through with it…

Ok I am doing it, but it would just be a casual reading, don’t expect me to go through it completely.

Please read it fully, I won’t even ask you to comment on my story

But this is strange… I admit I am a regular reader of your stories, but it doesn’t mean you can compel me to read your stories anytime, I would only read when I want to…

Ok, now don’t waste time in arguing, it’s ok even if you don’t read any of my future stories, but please read this story now for god sake...

Ok, you don’t mind me getting irritated or you bother about my work, you just want your stories to be read, ok I’m doing that …

Catch-22

At 8.30 AM:

Venkat coming for breakfast?

Ah, no sir… you please carry on…

Why, what happened? You had at home?

No sir…

Then come...not feelling well ah?

No sir I’m ok, just don’t feel like having anything...

Have atleast Idli or coffee …

…

Come, come… let’s go…

At Cafeteria:

What happened Venkat, why are you not eating properly?

Nothing sir… I told you nah, I don’t feel like eating…

If you are not well, go home then…

No, I think I can manage…

Did your boss say anything…?

No sir, nothing like that…

Then what? Something is there, you don’t want to share it with us may be...

Ah… no sir... Nothing like that frankly… just not feeling good today…

(Back Live)

Eh, you want me to read your stories to know what's your mood now?

Arae yaar… please read it fully; I’ll just come back in few minutes…

Ok, but I seriously have to rethink and make few things clear later today… he just can’t overuse the personal freedom I’ve given to him

(Back to Catch-22)

At 9:00 AM

Hi Soma

Hi Venkat… what’s up?

Nothing ya...

Then why did you sent an SMS asking me to join you in theYahoo messenger?

Yah, I wanted to discuss one thing with you...

That’s what I am asking, what is it? Anything urgent

Yah, it is…

Ok tell me

I don’t know how to tell this to you yah; something is bothering me since morning…

Oh is it? Any problem in office?

Well officially there is no problem, but there is a problem in the office…

Oh don’t confuse me early morning yah, I’ve quite a bit of work to do in the kitchen, be quick please...

I truly don’t know how to and where to start…

What it is, you have anyway called me to discuss it out, so just open it out Venkat…

Eh, don’t mistake me ya

Relax, tell me what happened?

You know Nisha right?

Yah, I know she was my replacement there... so what’s it with her? Don’t tell me you are in love with her?

Arae nahi yaar…. This is something else…

Then?

You know she is a very good girl and is a perfect replacement for you…

Hmm...

She always dresses well and takes complete care of herself on the move…

Hmm…

Today she has come in a nice Saree and she’s looking very beautiful...

Why are you telling this to me, I don’t understand… what’s the matter?

But she isn’t dressed properly?

What? You only told she has come in a nice saree and now you say she isn’t dressed properly… what is it Venkat?

Eh I really don’t know how to say yaar... I am in a big dilemma as how to put it in words… I am trying hard to share it with anybodybut…

Come on Venkat... You know how we relate to each other.. You are my good friend... don’t hesitate, I won’t take you wrong…

Yaar… her saree is looking good, but she isn’t dressed properly...

You mean to say she has not come in a good make up today?

Not that ya… I am least bothered about makeup and all...

Then what da?

Eh, please don’t again mistake me ah... I really feel embarrassed to say this… that thing is popping out?

What????? I can’t understand your double meaning statements!!

Yaaaaaaarr…. Don’t mistake me… what I mean is something different?

Don’t bug me, what’s the matter, Be clear?

You know men wear baniyan inside right... I mean they wear vest right…

So …?????

In same way, girls have a similar system…

System ah ??????????????

I mean sometimes, when we wear shirt, vest might be visible by mistake near the neck side... in same way you can imagine for girls sometimes…

Why do you want me to imagine those ya?

Yaar, that’s what I wanted to tell you, that is visible for nisha since morning…

You are sick, that’s what I can tell you …

eh, how did you know, yes i am suffering from a heavy cold since morning...

oh god, I am not referring that... I said your mind is sick...

Yaar... Can’t you understand me ... What I am saying is I wanted her to dress herself properly so that she doesn’t become an object of discussion here in the campus

Why do you think people are more bothered about her than anything else? She would anyway be going to restroom anytime, and then she would watch it anyway

Yaar, that’s all your predictions, but it might not be a reality. Leave the entire campus, I don’t want even a single person to look at her indifferently, that’s my point. And moreover, she is moving for an important meeting any time, so going to restroom may or may not happen

So if it’s bothering you too much, tell her directly nah, she is your friend anyway right

I see her as one of my best friend, but still there are things, which I am not comfortable talking in person, and this is one among them...

So you want me to tell her?

No, no, I don’t want her to get embarrassed anyway...

Then what do you want me to do? Then why are you discussing this with me?

Well, I don’t know ya, I seriously don’t know… I thought by discussing with you; I might find some solution myself…

Well did you get by this time?

Hmm, I think I did...

What is it?

Putting our conversation as a story in my blog and asking her to read… that way she can understand what I wanted to convey to her?

You think she would understand?

Well, she would definitely; I would make my story that way…

Then all the best…

Eh once again don’t mistake me ah… you know what? There are so many sites, which only publish images / photos taken through hidden cameras or mobiles in public places where people (read here as girls / women) are shown in uncompromising position without their knowledge

So you visit those sites is it?

Arae yaar, If I tell you, visiting such and such places might lead one to Aids, does that mean I have went to those places, it is just awareness yah, anyway now don’t ask me how did I get this hidden camera awareness, ok.. But there are sites, which are categorized as Adult sites have these sections as well... showing pictures of innocent people in awkward position / view…

So you fear this would happen to nisha as well?

Who knows, hidden cameras / mobiles can be anywhere, hotels, restaurants, toilets, blah, blah… so in campus, someone trying to take a snap, it can be hardly noticed right… And this is just not with Sarees alone, it can be any kind of dress people wear.

Now I am afraid after hearing it from you…

Yeah I know, girls always have to be careful of so many things, can’t help it & I am sorry for that... you people have to be conscious of so many things, particularly dress…

Girls are anyway careful on those...

If that's the case, then I don’t know why girls have to wear a small T shirt, and every time become conscious of that by putting their hands behind to stretch it, so that nothing is visible… I say, you either wear it & leave it that way, or wear a full T shirt as men do & stop worrying about it…

Ok, now don’t start another discussion and bug me, you do what you want…

But I hope you didn't mistake me..

I dont know about that yet, but yes... you are still my good friend... ok, bye

The End

(Back Live)

Oh where is Nisha, she has gone to meeting ah? I worry whether she has read my story or not? The story is also quite lengthy as usual… she might have stopped reading it abruptly…


Well I could have said it directly… without worrying how she would take it... But there is a chance she might feel embarrassed right? I don’t want her to be embarrassed for anything... because... she is too good girl to suffer from such things...

oh I have got a mail from nisha, what she has to say?

Venkat

Yet another superb story, I understood your motive and the reason behind urging me to read the story before going for the meeting. Infact, midway I stopped reading it and did all the necessary corrections you have mentioned, came back finished reading it, now writing a mail to you (it's ok if i'm 5 mins late for the meeting)

Now I know, you would be feeling embarrassed later today, to talk to me directly or looking at my face. Well you don’t have to be... as you have done nothing wrong... I would only request you not to get embarassed to discuss such things in future. I dont want any virtual gap to be created among our friendship.

One thing is sure, I am in midst of a good soul… God bless you...

Thanks for the Awareness & Bye...

At Office




Eh soma why you didn’t turn up to office last Friday?

Well just didn’t have the mood to work ya, that’s why…

Oh I see… but you even otherwise don’t work here…So it shouldn’t make a much of a difference to you…

Eh...Shut up! You don’t know how much I slog here…

Oh ok… getting up early and coming to office… having planned / unplanned breaks for Coffee / Lunch… in between chit chats… oh god... How much you slog…

Eh too much ya…

Yeah I can understand… Truth is always hard to digest…

Ok so what was special on Friday…?

Oh yaar... You missed a perfect show…

Oh is it? What was that?

Our TL came in perfect bell bottom blue jeans and round neck black sweater kinda thing

Oh is it? It must have suited her well right?

Arae yaar... she was looking gorgeous…

Oh wow…. I missed it then…

Yes you certainly did… you don’t know…. even the oldies out here just couldn’t take their eyes off …

I hope you are not exaggerating

Arae nahi yaar….. She was looking damn good…

Hmm…

She was actually creating a fashion statement out here…

Hmm…

She was that perfect 36-24-32 kinda thing…

Abba too much… she is married FYI…

That’s what I am saying… she isn’t looking like that… she had more of a college going girl look….

Hmm…

Sorry yaar… I just wanted to show the real picture that you missed… that’s why I had to go little overboard...

Hmm... I have never seen you talking in that way…

Eh... no bad intentions ah… I am just saying she was the rocking star that day....

Hmm… I know you…. You seem to be really impressed…

Yes yaar… she keeps surprising me every day… by her dedication, by her commitment, by her sincerity, by her intelligence, by her maturity, by her innocence, now by her beauty… what not… infact i can just sit throughout the day listening to her...

You look obsessed now...

Well, who isn’t…? atleast I dare to bring it out

Did you tell this to her…

Paagal hai kya… Mar khon khayaega?

She will feel happy ya…

These things doesn’t excite her at all… she would either treat as total bluff or term it as nonsense, as she usually does whatever I say..

Hmm…

But she is very good at heart…that’s her very striking quality….

Ya… very true…

And moreover her expressive face & eyes are added points…

Hmm…

She is also very good in interacting with people… which I usually stumble upon…

Hmm…

She looks more of a family member to me…

Means ?

I mean… if she has a problem… I can feel the same pain…& if she is happy on something…that happiness extends to me as well…

Oh ho…

What? You either say Hmm… or Oh ho…

Eh...Some work yaar… will talk to you later…

Ok bye

At Home

Ok get ready soma; we will go and have dinner outside…

No I’m not coming…

What? You are not coming…!

Yes I am not feeling hungry…

Hungry nahi kya… tho phir Dominos…!

…

Eh…you only told yesterday that we will go to Pizza corner tonight to have dinner as my mom & dad are out of town…

Yes…

Now what?

Now I am not hungry…

I know the level of food you take… oats meal for breakfast… 3-4 Idli’s for lunch… is that enough?

Infact from tomorrow I’m not going to have that also…

What? You have become mad…

Eh why am I like this?

Like what?

Nothing… I am not going to have pizza any more…

But why? It’s your favorite right…

Yah, but it doesn’t help me in any way…

What’s the matter yaar…? I am not getting even a hang of it…

You can go and have pizza if you want… I am not coming… I am going to check my mails…. It’s been a long time I checked it…

Ok don’t eat… I don’t bother…. I am going….

(Oh I have got a mail from Venkat, now what he has to say about TL now… she is looking damn good… she is 36-24-32… she is this, she is that… heights yaa..)

Hi Soma

I never know when you will actually ready this mail, as I believe you don’t check your mails more often. But I just thought of writing this mail to you, as I feel I have got something to tell you.

People after ensuring their basic needs are fulfilled, expect mainly two things. One… they should be cared… Two…. they should be heard…

Often people keep forgetting that we also need to reciprocate the same that we expect from others. More often than not I have only met people who like to talk, talk and talk about their personal likes & dislikes, there pain & feelings, their success and failures, their hits & misses and what not. However they seldom get interested leave caring even to hear about other’s person life even though he/she hears them or care for them.

(Now what he wants to say…? It’s getting on my head now…!)

Okay I myself don’t know why I am saying all this… but I noticed one thing… in my effort of praising TL to you today morning… I just missed to notice one golden gift I have got. That golden gift is none other than you. Yes, now I have got someone to hear me… it might look little absurd … but not everybody gets someone to hear them… sometimes not even our family members… I agree they are the first to care for us...but do they have time and patience to hear all that we wanted to say... all our nonsense… to hear all that we wanted to shout aloud? I wonder…

But thinking on the same line… I imagine I have got someone today… with whom I could speak my mind without actually bothering whether she liked it or not. Not many people especially girls like to hear someone praising some other girl infront of her… but you did today… right? How amazing? I just failed to notice that yaar.

How special you are and how sweet you are… you could actually listen to me so patiently… whether I make a mockery of you or whether I pull your leg… or for that matter praise TL always.. You just hear, hear and hear.

I never did try to praise you anytime but you weren’t expecting it either. So that’s why I am taking this opportunity to tell you that you are one special friend that I have got. A Friend who can hear… yes it might sound simple as friends are readily available. But friends who can hear us actually with full of concern and attention are hard to find by and I’m glad that I’ve got one...

Nov 19 being celebrated as Repentance Day in Germany, I just thought I would apologize to you if I unknowingly hurt you by any means… as you are too good that I shouldn’t be doing that anyway...

Keep up the good show!

Bye n take care

Venkat

(hmm.. I don’t really think I have got the essence of his mail as it is something over my head, but certainly I feel good after reading it. I actually wonder if I am really worth what he says or for that matter if I actually belong to that category of ‘friends’ list or not… anyway… he is good… ah… ok… now let me check where my darling is!)

Eh you are still here…Not gone for dinner?

No I am not hungry now..

Eh sorry pa… come let’s go…

Where?

Where else? My favourite Pizza Corner only…

But just now you said, you are not going to have that at all…

Yah I was just consciousness of something suddenly, but not now… I can’t wait to have a pizza…chalo let’s go…

You suddenly become a mystery to me…

Nothing…. I’ll tell you everything on the way… now let’s move ahead…

Diye jalte hain, phool khilte hain
Badi muskhil se, magar duniya mein Dost milte hain

(Coming Soon: Coffee Day)

Silence

Silence is expressed in Two versions here.









Verson 1.0

I tried to communicate my love to you yesterday
But you couldn’t understand why?

Were you expecting a card to express my love
I didn’t because I don't want to buy someone else feelings for you?

Were you expecting me to say in words?
Eh, I felt it is so miser with just 26 alphabets

Were you expecting me to confess my love with a golden ring?
But I don’t want my love to be accompanied with possessions …

But still I communicated right? But you couldn’t understand…

Oh now I realize…. You needed words…
But I can only communicate better in silence…

If at all you could understand the silence between my words,
You would have realized my concern & affection towards you

Is there a Silence communication course at your place…
If so please join…

Try to understand other beings emotions…
Which are mostly better expressed through silence & face

Not all are good in communication…
Atleast not me…

I am better understood through my silence…

I am no longer a Mystery Man..
If you can just communicate with me through Silence…

Version 2.0

Silence is what I need
Silence is what I plead
Silence is the need of hour

Silence is what I expect from the world
Just when You start talking

So talk buddy, talk…
Talk as much as you like
Because I am there to listen to you in perfect silence

Express Music

Ok come let’s go for a walk…

No I’m not coming yaa..

Why, what happened?


Nothing, I just don’t want to come

You know what? I am the only person whom you never listen…

No ya, I am tired

What tired? I am just calling you for a walk dear not for a running competition?

You please go if you want… I am not in a mood

You slog for the entire day in the office and come home and say you are tired, why don’t you do the reverse for a change?

Aiyo, I am sick of those office guys and now you have also joined that list...

Ok, what’s your problem?

Nothing, you go...

Eh... tell me da…

…

What’s the problem? What is bothering you? Open it out I say…

Ok, you tell me what did you buy for me last week?

What?

Don’t put questions back, just tell me what did you buy for me last week?

Hmm… we bought few dresses for our daughter, few toys and…

Oh ho...you are going to get nicely from me… I asked what did you buy for me?

Ah, Well.. yah… we bought new specs for you …

And…

And… hmm… what else…?

What is this in my hand?

Oh yeah... I completely forgot, we bought a watch for you right.., even your office colleagues liked it very much and…

Okay leave it… now what did you get for me yesterday?

Oh Mah… why are you asking all these questions?

If you want to know why I’m upset, you answer me, otherwise you go for walking, I’m not coming…

Abba, too much I say… okay I bought you a new Nokia Express Music mobile...

Okay where are we going next week?

We are going to Hyderabad…

Why are we going?

What question is this? We are going to see your mom & dad…

Okay now tell me why did you buy all these all of a sudden?

What are you trying to say? Come to the point…

……

I can foresee where are you trying to lead this conversation to and let me be clear....I don’t want to waste my energy explaining you things… you assume whatever you want… I don’t care… I’m going for a walk... you come or don’t come, that’s your problem…

Oii wait da… listen to me first…

Now I’m tired, leave me…

I know you are very intelligent, but this is what you thought about me ah?

What?

The same, for which you are now annoyed and going for a walk without me…

But you started it and I don’t want to answer your doubts…

Did I ever say I doubted you...?

But your cross fire questions were leading to that directions only madam…

No yaar, I never doubted you or your intentions…

Then why are you upset and asked me all the questions?

Today I showed my mobile to my friends at office…

So…?

Tell me onething ya… everybody are buying something or the other, but only when I buy something the whole world is looking at me, as if I’m the only one who keeps bringing new things every week… you know right, how long I was having my old Samsung mobile, did I ever pestered you to buy me a new mobile?

Did he say anything?

I am really sick of these people yah…

What happened?

When I showed my mobile to them, they were very surprised… everybody started seeing it as if they have never seen a mobile before or as if I have bought the most expensive mobile in the world…

So what… let them look, what’s your problem?

Problem only started after that… he was telling me why suddenly your husband started buying you so many new things… is it because he wants to show infront of your mother and say look how happy I’m keeping your daughter .. I always buy something or the other for her…and…

…and now I got her a new mobile… even though I didn’t buy one for myself… right?

……

So what’s your verdict on this? You believe him or not?

What da? You know me and I know you… do we ever get into such type of disbelief?

Then what is troubling you?

I just get upset if my own friends & colleagues talk such kind of nonsense… I really get irritated and it turns me off completely…

Leave it I say…

Why he has to come and say this to me… all jealous people… they simply can’t sleep peacefully without giving trouble to others…

It’s their interests…

I am asking, why do they have to unnecessarily poke their nose into others life?
What’s their problem whether you buy me a Nokia Express Music or Distress music…?

Calm down madam…

I just get REALLY irritated…

Cool down ya… cool down… tell me one thing… Did his statement made any effect on how you see me?

…

Say yes or no…

No…

Good, you trust me always right?

Yes

And you know, no matter how much we both argue during the day, we still love each other more than we love ourself…

Hmm… Yes we do…

Then what’s your problem, if some rascal tells you something, why are you taking it up in your head? He is just saying it because he is jealous of me getting the most adorable wife in the world and he is jealous of you too because you got the most charming person in the world as your husband…

(Smiles)… now don’t try to convince me…

Boss, I am not trying to convince you, I am just saying the fact, the fact is we are the most doting couple these people have ever seen and they are bound to say such comments… it just comes out of their ignorance & jealousy.. You just simply ignore it I say...

I am not going to talk to him from tomorrow…

That’s not the solution, the actual revenge is you keep making jealous of him… saying nice things about me… let him get fried…and boiled…

Okay now stop, let’s go out…

Now the park would have been closed Madam, you just cant walk whenever you feel like…

No I’m not calling you for walk, we will go for shopping...

Shopping? Already over the budget…I don’t have single paisa in my pocket…see…

So what? I am buying one for you…

What..? I don’t need anything…

You don’t need, but I want to…

What are you going to buy for me? I have everything…

First throw that mobile of yours, I will also get you one new mobile?

I don’t need, I am happy with this one…

Why, when you bought me a mobile, I will also buy you a new one?

Yours become old, that’s why…

So what do you think?, yours is a brand new one nah… it’s more old than my father…

Let me repeat my statement again, I am the only person whom you never listen…

And I am the only person who cares for you always… now shut up and come with me…

Express Music + Express Love = Adorable & Admirable

Profit & Loss

Last week, I went to Railway Station to send off my parents to our hometown. Instead of waiting in the queue for purchasing a platform ticket, I thought of opting touch screen Platform ticket. All you have to do is to send a SMS to one number typing ‘PF’ and within few seconds you would get one code. Upon punching the same code on the touch screen, it will immediately give you a e-platform ticket. Really worth trying and using so that you can avoid standing in long queues (especially if the same counter is being used for both platform tickets & issuing travel tickets)

So far so good. But...



I did the same and waited for the code. I waited for the code. I waited for the Code and I waited for the code. Nothing came up and by this time few more like minded people did the same and we were busy checking with each other if any of one got any reply. Thank god, no one got any code back, otherwise if one got the code and other didn’t, it would have been more disastrous (as we belong to that group where when power goes off, we get satisfied by cross checking the same status with our neighbours house).

So far Rs.3 is the loss for me.

Okay, now I decided to stand in normal platform issue queue. By this time another person (who also lost Rs.3 like me in same way) requested if I can get a ticket for him, since he can see many people standing behind me. I in all mood to be service oriented, accepted his request and received a 5 Rupee coin from him. When my turn came I gave her Rs. 6 exact change and asked for two platform tickets. Usually, these people issue a platform tickets in small size card (similar to weighing tickets). But this time, she issued me only one receipt for 2 platform tickets. So again problem. I requested her that I need two different platform tickets, but all in vain. She was never in a mood to listen to me and my failure to explain her in the local language helped me to get out of that counter with no success.

I explained the same to that person and he didn’t have any other option than to stand in the queue again. But I thought it’s my mistake in not handling the situation properly and I handed him back his 5 Rupee Coin. (FYI, he had different platform requirements and timings, so there is no way of us sharing the tickets).

So again another Rs.3 loss for me. So totally I lost Rs.6 of no use.

Few weeks back

I was travelling in a local private bus to reach my office and the bus was decently crowded. It was one of the rare day, where I was in no mood to buy a ticket!! And since it’s a private bus, I thought I would buy one only if that person asks for one. Till the end, he didn't ask for a ticket and I too didn't pay at all. ( I certainly don’t do any such acts in any of the public transport and for that matter even in private transport, it is just that it’s one of my rare bad colour day)

So Rs.7 profit for me.

Final Verdict:

However comparing the above two incidents, I wonder if every profit that we assume to make in life out of illegal tactics / wrong way, are we indirectly paying for it in some other way. May be yes. But still I got Rs.1 profit right! (when I lost Rs.6 at railway station but gained Rs.7 by not buying a ticket?) Yeah, I earned Rs.1 as profit, but may be it’s because I regretted not buying that ticket in the bus in the same evening or because I had good intentions in helping that person in the railway station by buying one ticket for him or because with all good gesture I returned his 5 rupee coin even though he was not accepting it.

Okay, let’s see another simple incident.

Day before yesterday, I just saw one Vodafone telephone bill lying unattended in my apartment. It was marked to someone in the 4th floor. Since I know how difficult it is if we fail to receive bill on time (btw BSNL bill always come only on a day before the due date or it doesn’t come at all), I thought of giving that bill myself to the person in the 4th floor. Even though I don’t know him or there is any need to go to 4th floor, I thought its a wise decision because our area is such that if we don’t collect our mails on time, it is surely gonna get lost, thanks to stray dogs / heavy winds etc.

That person was really surprised seeing me handing over his bills all the way from ground floor and thanked me (but he thought me a courier guy initially, its OK, no problem)

Next day, one person knocks my door in the night and gives me my telephone bill saying, he found it left unattended in the road during the day, and he thought he would hand it over to me in the night when I return back. How Nice!!

Really, for all acts you do, whether it’s good or bad you certainly going to get something in return soon. Its only that we don’t notice it all. But I noticed and I can see I was equally paid for all my acts. Both for good and bad. It might look like a very simple or ordinary incidents, but nevertheless it’s showed me some truth about life.

So next time if you think you gained or lost something, you better be assured that for every gain you make out of bad way, you got to lose it badly by another means. And more importantly for every good thing you do, you get paid again by a different means.


So once you start exploring your life, it gives you so many hidden meanings... Wah kya life hai...

Oh I forgot to update one thing, after four days, today morning I did get that code which I need to enter on that Touch screen, Wah kya service hai rae...
