Misty Mornings

(continued from the previous post dated Feb 16th, '06)
During early mornings, when I logged in, sometimes used to meet
an interesting person - a quiet and reserved lady from Toronto. She
initially suspected my intentions of trying to get friendly with her,
and I had to make extra efforts to assuage her everytime. It used to
be way past midnight at her end, leaving me wondering about her
situation at home. I sent her more than a couple of mails till she
finally replied.



sim - Hi .....I think i did receive ur email b4 but since i was looking
for ur regular id, I did not notice ur name and probably deleted it.
Anyway, I am glad u sent it again. It's such a sweet email......wish
life was as simple. Well finally we are able to communicate aside
from chat so now u can let me know when u are around.



kband - Poof! Thats what seemed to happen when u decided to quit
today. All of a sudden, all the lights went out and the room was
shrouded in total darkness. there was chaos in the mind, not knowing
whether to stay still and wait for the glow to return, or run around
and look for the incandescence. and the thoughts kept ringing, what
could have gone wrong, did i say something???
hope the sunshine of the new day throws some light so that the
shadows disappear once for all. tomorrow will be a busy day, coz of
the meetings, hope to bump into u soon. bye



sim - Aap se mulaquat hue bahut din ho gaye....hope i get to see u
tonight. I will be here for next half hour then will hit the sack. For
the last few days I have been going to bed early....too exhausted to
stay up late. I did come online i think three days back but did not
see u.....waited and waited but no sign of u :(. Hope to see u soon....



kband - ???
wanted to talk to u badly today, and u left without much ado. feeling
miserable, wish u cud come bak even for few mins.



sim - just question marks :( ....ek sentence to likh dete. I donno what
u mean by ??? Anyway, will know when i see u. I am sorry I don't
think I will be able to come online tonight...just logged in for few mins
to send u an email in case u might be waiting. Sorry about that yaar,
just some obligations that i have to tend to. It's a long weekend here
and it looks like tomorrow night will be spent at my parents for dinner.
I might be late in coming or I might not be able to..... though I wud like
to. Take care.
*************************************************************
I have been waiting for last 20 mins for u to log back in but it seems
that u r unable to do so or else u wud have by now. I was hoping to
chat for long as tomorrow is a holiday but it seems that is not possible.
I will check to see if u made it b4 I sign off for the night. If i don't .....
will be thinking of u.



kband - wont be office throughout the day tomorrow. so will perhaps
miss the golden opportunity to meet a gem of a person :-( keep those
precious thoughts securely stored till we meet again.



sim - Kaise hain aap? Bahut din ho gaye aap se chat kiye aur na he koi
email aaya. Lagta hai aap ko chance nahi milla online aane ka.....must
be pretty busy. I came online couple of times....waited for a while but
no sign of u :(. It's always a pleasure chatting with u....looking forward
to seeing u online soon.
*************************************************************
Happy Diwali !!! Wishing You the Best.............. Hope u and ur family
have a wonderful time.
I waited for u for over an hour the last time but there was no sign of
u :( and u r right about y'day.... honestly I had no strength to turn the
pc on. Aaj toh aap ghar per honge....I don't think I will get a chance
to chat with u tonight. Perhaps if possible we can chat saturday
morning ur time......... if not then wud luv to see an email from u.
It's nice to read ur emails :)).
************************************************************
Aap ka email hum abhi parhe. Last night I couldn't get the email to
open up so didn't know that u might be coming online for a short while.
It was just a hi/bye in the passing.....wanted to spend a bit more time
but as u mentioned u had to leave for the meeting. I could have tried
to come back online after an hour but since today is the first fast and
if I had stayed up late then I wouldn't have been able to get up early
for sahr. I donno what kind of attachment it is but it feels nice to be
able to chat with you. Somehow the bonds made here seem more dear
than the real friends. I find myself chatting with u more openly about
my personal life which I don't do with anyone aside for my family.
Well it seems friday it is until we meet again. Take care.



kband - Last time around, same day last week, when i had decided
to send u a mail to enquire about your absence, u showed up!! today
too, was hoping that history would repeat itself, but perhaps good
things come rationed in life :-) so, my wait becomes further
prolonged and my thoughts can only be poured out in this mail...
i recall u had said sumthin abt taking the kids to niagara falls for
x-mas, wud like to hear about it. the shopping mania during these
last days of the year are also stretching ur working hours, i know.
as for me, we have company at home now in the form of my mom-
in-law and my wife's maternal uncle who have come on a 10-day
trip from kolkata. so visits to-and-fro of realtives at delhi have been
on the upswing, as well as trips to the markets. all in all, things are
busier than usual and pleasurable particularly for our daughter,
whoz enjoying her holidays now. tomorrow she performs a song
recital in a cultural function organised by our firm.i realise its pretty
cold there, but hope the mist clears soon and the diva appears
shimmering with her soft and vibrant hues...




sim - Itne din hogaye aap se baat nahi huwi. Hope all is well at ur end.
Hame aaj kal waqt nahi milta online aane ka. He is using the computer
at the time I used to come online and I haven't been successful in
staying up until after he is done. I miss talking to u......somehow the
heart and mind felt light being able to share things with u and knowing
that u understand. You have been a dear friend and I truly value that
a lot. Hope to see u soon online. miss ya.
