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)
