A Little Bit More

(continued from previous post dated 18th April)
There may appear to be a disconnect in the sequence,
that's due to the cross-exchanges that occur
simultaneously. In any case, it all reflects the buoyant
state of minds while we ride the waves of our heartbeats.


lea - Dearie R, You elevate me to such heights...I dont
know whether I shall be able to scale them. But one thing,
I can assure you, if ever you get lost, i will hold your hands
and try my best to show the right direction, in case i fail, i
will at least see to it that i am lost with you. Its no dream
R, wake up ! Dont be scared to open your eyes to this
world. Its a harsh place, i agree but good things do happen
to people (oh i didnt mean to say that i am that good thing,
no no, not at all, i was just saying that in general). You ask
me a very difficult question when you ask what I need from
you. May be I just want you to keep wriitng to me forever
and ever........and keep me on this journey with you into the
depths of our selves, some known , some unknown. I'll tell
you something..........i dont know if i should tell you this. It
was only yesterday when i was thinking how it would be
when i meet you some day, maybe many years from now.
And then, i felt so scared, i didnt want to meet you at all !
I was scared because i realised i would probably not say
anything and long to rush to the closest internet cafe to
send you a mailto tell you how i feel........may be i'd not
even lookup, may be i'll close my eyes, may be i wont talk.
And may be you will be thoroughly disappointed, may be
u'd be silent too. Oh, i'm getting too imaginative for nothing
........ok so what were U dreaming of ? going to the movies
with me, thats not too much. i am not sure whether i'd be
able to come to delhi in the near future, but if u ever come
down to calcutta (and if u dont have dates with some
pretty babes already ;-)) and if u r not too shy of meeting
me ;-)) ), we could always go to the movies. And before I
close this mail, if ever you come to meet me (please dont
take it as something i want...i am only kidding.....hope u
understand) dont forget to get me some flowers (now its
upto u to guess which one is my favourite). Shudu flowers
beshi romantic hoye jaabe, so get some chocolates too
(hee hee hee hee). Wish you a very Good Morning !!!


kband - My sweet M, As long as you are there beside me,
let me continue with my sleep (unless the snoring
becomes unbearable:-)) Dreams are the manifestation of
one's unfulfilled desires, so please let me carry on with this
pleasurable experience. If you decide to part company
ever, just send me hurtling back to reality (unless of
course I disintegrate like the Challenger)!
You're right M, our world is a kaleidoscope of dark and
bright, that's what keeps it going. Currently, there's a
young girl from Noida who's making headlines coz she
had the gall to send her groom packing from the marriage
pandal to the lock-up as the dowry demands had become
steeper (even after obliging with 18 lacs). She's become a
cult figure now and has been flooded with marriage
proposals from people who would be 'proud' to win her
hand ! There may be dissimilarities, but in many respects
you seem to think exactly the way I do. Like meeting each
other, for example. Even I felt that maybe I would get
tongue-tied if I happen to meet you ever and perhaps the
weight of our expectations from each other can't ever be
satisfied with a simple physical union (no double meanings
pls :-)) If you had called y'day maybe you would have been
greeted by a stony silence from the other end (if not some
heavy panting:-)) Maybe we articulate our thoughts much,
much better through our mails and maybe it should remain
that way.
Enough of the mushy stuff, do you know I had a chance to
go to Calcutta tonight ?? CII is organising a seminar on
Defence tomorrow and my boss wanted to accompany him
for the event. I felt it was a complete waste of time and
money and had to decline. But now I'm repenting, I
could've carried a huge bouquet of flowers (definitely not
chocolates) for you (rajanigandha, jasmine and roses) and
presented my humble offering at Salt Lake Nalban ! Don't
get scared, I told u i'm not going baba and last I heard my
boss was also doing a re-think ! I'm starving, let's go have
lunch. R


lea - Oh u silly, u should've come ! isi bahane, i could've
visited nalban, never been there in the absense of a date
.....my fiance lives in hyderabad. any chances of visiting
this city in the near future ? dont worry, i will not ask u
to visit me, now that u have refused to get me chocolates
(aapko to khaali romance hi soojhta hai, baaje lok :-)) and
how did u find out abt my favourite flowers ? u must be
dating many calcutta girls, i am sure...or else u wouldnt
have been so accurate. But now is the challenge, can u
tell me which colour rose i love the most - this is the
difficult one....let me see. i am happy to know abt this
courageous girl, i just wish those people now dying to
marry her turn out to be really good and honest. i had
some grt idlies for lunch , my mother made for me, with
the delicious coconut chutney. plz nojor deben na, amaar
pet kharap hobe ! Lemme know what u had. do u bring
lunch from home ? or is the canteen ur usual place ?
Madhuri.......


kband - can't u think of anything beyond food and eating
and burping !!!!! i write to u about sooooo many things
and all u r concerned with is lunch, chocolates, idlis :-((
even in that dating episode u r sore about not being able
to have dinner ! wait till i make a chutney out of u when i
reply to that mail. i'm just a roti-subzi type so maybe u
should try ur luck with the other 35+ species, one of them
could turn out to be a gourmet like u n swallow u up :-))
roses come in different colours but like cricket (that's my
craze) looks most gentlemanly in white, i don't think
there's anything more poignant than a wine-red rose !
and no, don't take ur fiance to nalban or rabindra sarobar,
u'll hv to lean against someone else's fiance there ! victoria
memorial or the banks of hooghly r no better, maybe u
could give swabhumi a try. better still would be to take a
full-day tram-ride and keep sitting inside even when it's
stuck n there's nowhere to go, ha ha ha. it happens only in
calcutta...


lea - Oh so was that dating episode all about me ??? I
wasnt there anywhere ! i wasnt sore abt not having dinner,
ur date was. i was sleeping at home, till u woke me up to
TELL me abt ur date with some pretty babe! btw, had i
known that it was me in that polka dotted dress....probably
the ending would have been differentt ;-)) (hee hee) And
when did i ever burp ? theek hai, i am actually going to
write some mails to all those poor 35+ guys who are
waiting for my replies. not only would they date me, they
would also take me out to all exotic food joints, and i wont
be left hungry after the date. u stay with ur ROTI SUBZI.
u couldve have at leastwritten maach bhaat.
hmmm, i knew that much abt nalban and rabindra sarobar
etc, though i've never been to either place. Victoria sucks,
chee the way the couples sit there, side by side and do all
kinds of.........baap re !
Oh so u r going to give me wine-red roses - eh i dont like
red roses, u know, very odd isnt it ? I like...the colour of
sunshine.......hope u guessed it now.
waiting for ur mail on that story of mine.....
