Lull after the Storm

My first encounter in cyber space was aborted by destiny; I came
out immensely richer by the experience and while picking up the
pieces, was stupefied by the impact it had on my life. For one,
realisation dawned that there was much more to me than I would
like myself to believe and of course, the net seemed to be a
happening place! I had to get back there to savour its complete
extent but needed to learn from the past : exercise discretion in my
approach, be more flippant and take singular care in avoiding
single women!
So I ventured into the chatrooms. It took me a while to understand
some of the lingo in vogue and during the initial period, spent a
great deal of time in quietly observing the proceedings. It was
exciting and fun to assume different aliases and imaginative
identities for myself while I had amusing conversations with all
and sundry. Then I met "ena", an educator who seemed to be an
interesting person and was kind enough to send me mails.....


kband - am just checking if the line of communication is working
ok. maybe a feedback will be in proper order. at ur convenience
n of course will. u have all the hallmark of a good teacher of
Moral Science:) at this rate all the skeletons will come tumbling
out of my closet, gotta be careful! thank u for ur pleasurable
company today. till we meet again, bye.



ena - hi K, better get used to calling u K. dont wanna make a
blunder again. thanx for ur compliment. ppl often accuse me
that i make them too comfortable. so better keep ur guard up.
n hey why worry abt those skeletons yaar. no one is gonna
touch them if u dont want them disturbed. just relax. hope to
see u soon.



kband - I'm delighted to see your mail and also relieved that
i had registered ur id properly. There was a small mishap
y'day and i thought i should share with u :
There was this guy who was pestering u remember ? you
thanked ur stars that he left without too much of a huff, right?
Now i bumped into him in another room where out of the
blue he called out my name!!!!!! now i had not given my name
to anybody while chatting except you so i was absolutely
zapped! then he asked me what we both had been chatting
about. then i got the connection and asked him to mind his
own business, but he seemed intent on going on using
my name n tryin to make some tamasha. though it doesn't
hurt me in anyway, but i felt a li'l bit uncomfy. so i've
decided to banish my old nick and reincarnate myself in
a new one - hope its ok.
as far as my guard is concerned, i'll be happy if someone
can pull it apart coz i myself get tired of its annoying
presence in my life sometimes :-) look forward, bye



ena - dont worry yaar. it was not a big deal. maybe he
thought that we were having some hot chat in a private
room n thats why he was curious. its really no big deal.
n there aint just one person with your name na. relax. u
r too uptight. relax a bit. loosen a a bit. n enjoy yaar.
sometimes u will find that guy talk is equally interesting.
so tell me abt urself. whats the name of ur wife?n ur lil
darling. does she work too..ur wife? n such minor things.
ok? bye
