Spinning Yarns

(continued from previous post dated 4th Apr)
The virtual world beckoned reality from time to time. In
the midst of imagination and fantasy, there were sessions
of story-telling drawn from myriad experiences.


lea - Rollicking time with a special person" - reminds me
of Rollick, in turn reminds me of ice creams, the ones we
used to have in Delhi (Noida to be precise) Have u ever
tried the "Manhattan Mania" at the Nirula's. Its amazing!
btw, who is this special person ? I am off to the library
to check out Business Today as well as India today.
Incidentally my fiance has also asked me to check out an
article in india today. Will be back soon.



kband - M, looks like u've been accosted in the library,
taking ages to return. Meanwhile then let me spin a yarn
(hey it rhymed!):
There was a guy who was an ok student in school. He
studied very hard for his Board exams and his parents,
teachers were expecting him to do well. All papers
passed without a hitch, then it was the turn of Geography
for which he had prepared thoroughly. It was a cakewalk
for him all the way and he replied to all questions with
flourish. Then he saw something. The guy sitting next to
him was merrily copying from a book hidden on his lap.
The cheat winked at him and thrust the book while
whispering - don't look at me, you can also do the same!
Oblivious to the teacher's eyes the book now lay with
him and he leafed thru it with trembling hands. The
exact answers stared at him from the pages and he found
himself noting them down on his answer sheet. He was
sweating profusely at the end of it all but was relieved
that he was not caught! When the results were declared,
the guy came out with flying colours, he even managed
to get a state rank. But to his horror, he had scored
relatively poor marks in Geography which was
inexplicable to his teachers. Then he realised that he
had been judged by someone else, an omniscient who
had indeed caught him cheating !



lea - Dear Fairy God mother, please gift me a pumpkin,
so i could fry some with besan and eat, i love kumdo
bhaja ! hahahaha ! I know u r know beating ur head
against the wall, thinking what a nutcracker of a person
u have asked to walk alongside you. OK, enough! I am
going to be serious from now on.
Porosher bodole shudhu dharosh - i mone elo ? i was
serious u know :-(( oh, i had asked for some advice
from you and all u can do is to feel jealous. Dont worry,
u will also be invited in that rendezvous so that u dont
complain ! And i dont read any mills n boons stuff, i hate
sugary tales - girl meet boy type stories. And i dont want
to "sing" in that red gown, there are better things to do
.......like dance for example.....nice slow waltz.....
forget it, u r again going to laugh at me ! i read that article
u were talking abt, interesting figures. the market is
expected to grow a lot, it says, means more work for u.
But tell me one thing, do u only sell to the defense dept
or to other companies also, i mean do u only make such
equipment?
I too would not really entertain the idea of going at 1 am
to india gate just for an ice cream, coz it might be unsafe.
But u could take me to ....... lemme think... PRIYA (PVR
as they call it now).... for a good movie, cant you ?
Mr.Headless.......I am ready to walk with you, but what if
we both get lost ?
I didnt know u would be waiting for my mail. The story
was like those we used to read in our moral science class.
But was there something you wanted to convey R ?
Sorry for not understanding. Well time for me to leave for
the day, got to catch my office bus, i live quite far from
my office. There was a small photography session in the
office with one of my colleagues taking photos with his
camera. i loved my photos being taken :-)), do you ?



kband - Oh Madhuri, for once my vocab fails me, I have
no words to explain what you've been doing to me, it all
seems like a dream. Swapan jodi modhur emon...jagiyo
na amaye jagiyo na.
What can I give someone who has made me a pauper ?
Are my shoulders broad enough to ever provide you
comfort ? Will you hold my hand and seek direction if
we're lost in the wilderness ? What do you need from me,
M ? The story was from real-life teaching its many
lessons, there's no other significance. I just felt like
sharing it with you. Can the Fairy Godmather fulfil the
wish of watching a movie together at PVR ? Let me
continue dreaming....
