Close Calls

(continued from the previous post dated 29th August)
Legs were being pulled in jest, mock fear and anger just added
spice to the occasion and magical information was being unearthed
like rabbits out of a hat! In the background, there were sounds of
a phone ringing.....incessantly......

Let's start at the very beginning then. From Ground Zero. When
nothing existed in "our world". Just the first two primordial human
beings. Man and Woman. Trying to make sense of everything around
them. Soaking in the warmth, enjoying the incoherent sounds, having
fun (occasionally pulling each others' legs), seeking, knowing, fearing,
exploring......and then stop short of tasting the Forbidden Fruit!
Because, life has to go on - one can have delusions but there's one
and only One Scriptwriter in this story!

kband - so u r giving back to me in the same coin. or maybe u r hurt
at my attitude. u think i'm trying to make fun at your expense. u feel
i have nothing much to say to u except some tasteless jokes, meaning-
-less attempts of self-demonstration interspersed with dollops of
obtuse references...all to create a foggy atmosphere?
bingo, u r absolutely right M. i'm a spent force without any provocation
from you. i go limp in my thoughts when u r not around to inspire me. if
u remain aloof and distant, my mind draws a complete blank - is that
what u want M? so why are u doing this to me - maybe to settle scores
with me, maybe..............
ok,ok let's call it truce. let's be good friends from now on and try to out-
do each other once again. so i'm holding out my red rag....before i leave
office (outdoor work got deferred for tomorrow) here's something i got-
khelaghor baandhtey legechchi aamar moner bhitorey
koto raat tai to jegechchi bolbo ki torey
...............jey aamar notun khelar jon tari eei khelaar singhashon
bhangarey joda debey shey kiser montorey



lea - U got it right, i was hurt in a way.........but how does that matter.
i have thrown away all those old thoughts and am trying to be what u
wanted me as................all the other mails i have sent lare in that line.
i dont think that u r trying to make fun of me..........but i expected that
u would let me into that fog of urs, thats the only thing i expected...........
but.......may be thats not to be. so i have decided to wait and see. so no
more questions from now on , only answers to whatever u want to know.
And dont worry R, tomar khelaghorer shinghashone ekbaar boshar
cheshta kore dekhbo, dekhi bhanga jinishgulo joda dite pari kina.
khoob beshibole fellam tai na ? Tomar M........Tumi aapnir bojha theke
nijeke mukti dilam chirokalermoto ......... bhalo theko !
Tomar ekta phone call-er ashay boshe achi ! hai re poda kopal amaar.
