Mail-ody

Apart from the serial mails, from time to time wrote and received
few lines from some interesting people. Stringing them together in
a random fashion creates a medley of notes, some laced with wit,
while some with humour and some concern.


tia - hi!!!!!!! hope u had a fab diwali and kali puja!...we had a gr8
time here...though we were getting things organized till the last
minute. the evening wz fun...we were all at the society lawn
watching the fireworks and meeting frenz! lots of fun, excitement,
etc. last night there wz another cards session till 5am but i fell
asleep at 1am...had one too many late nights! hubby's still asleep
(it's 11:50am now!)...i decided to finish chking my mails and
replying to all b4 he gets up...son's gone to play in the sun! had

tmrw we're off to a cousins fr bhai phota....



kband (to jan) - I had to break my resolve not to write u a mail
unless u send me one, driven to despair by the circumstances......
Hope u are feeling much better now, unless this mail has rekindled ur
agony (pain in the neck). Don't know what further to write, maybe i
wont send this mail after all, but maybe i will. i need to tell u that life
never ceases to surprise me - the abrupt noise, the jarring note, the
asynchronous tune - they soon harmoniously create a fusion of a soft
sweet melody....quite like the rumble of the train on its tracks. have
u ever resonated to that lilting music as it blends forms? inner
conflicts make the warp and weft of our existence, one need not
search for answers to the whys and hows, just discerning the pattern
could help us discover the true joys of living!
Applaud or deride, u are always right. Hope to c u soon. Till then,
take care.



jan - what was the bad news then? yes, my meeting went off very
well. He is a nice, simple, (bald) man and i was very happy about one
thing... everyone had told me that i had underquoted him but after
meeting him im glad that i did. I think I got the job also as every
other person tried to fleece him probably b'coz of his accent or the
fact that he's an NRI. I have a lot of respect for people who make it
from scratch n he brought tears to my eyes when he told me about
how his family had struggled wth no food in their childhood. (i swear
ill bash u if u say im soft-hearted now!!). He is starting this company
on his own and i felt very nice that he put so much importance to the
job i am doing for his start-up and so wud really like to c him do well.
He is the 1st scientist i have ever met in my life. Ok, now uncle i
want some feedback from u. There r 2 logos which i have to decide
b/w. One which he and everyone in his company likes and one which
i like betr. He has given me a free-hand to decide. I need more
opinions, so i will show u both if ur online today or tomm. n u have
to tell me which u like betr and why. (feelin important?....hahaha)...
cya...



kband (to rit)- Usually I desist from sending mails to chat ids coz I
get this suspicion they are more akin to a trash box...usually
cluttered with junk and spam mails offering everything that u
possibly dont need! So unless u are an immaculate housekeeper,
u usually let the stink accumulate till one day with one sweeping
stroke all that lies within is brushed nonchalantly away into oblivion.
U savour the spoils of a neat and trim space that u've created with a
victorious smile twitching the corner of ur lips, little realizing that the
heap of garbage may have just contained a small capsule of earth
from ur motherland.........
Yet i couldn't help writing; i'm guided by instincts which tell me
perhaps there are questions u too wanted to ask but held back for
some imperceptible reason. Perhaps u dont prefer encroaching on
private space, maybe u know where to draw a line on inquisitive-
ness, or it could simply be avowed disinterest. Whatever it is, I feel
I owe u a reciprocation in some way - so here's offering u a glimpse
into the why's of my idiosyncrasies :I have a terrible weakness for
the weaker sex (pun intentional!!!) particularly those excelling in
the cerebral or creative deptt. I muster my hapless resources and
go all guns blazing till the weakness in my knees is conquered, the
quiver in my voice is calmed down and i've got a fair insight abt my
fair lady (again a deliberate pun). Its a fascinating journey, let me
tell u, having all the ingredients of a thrilling potboiler..with sundry
characters thrown in...sorrow n laughter...foul-mouthed villains...
misunderstandings......musical interludes....usually with a happy
denouement!
Others call u such, which means a needle and i've picked up the
threads of our conversation to locate ur inner eye so that everything
can be sewed up properly. If u've started nauseating, swallow this
humour pill - How do u prevent an elephant passing thru the eye
of a needle?
By tying a knot in its tail!



rit - hiya!
m not even that dumb not to hav understood ur mail and yea i dunt
hav any more questions for you coz u answered whatever i had to
ask....
