Luck by Phone - Part- 1

It’s a Wednesday night, just finished dinner. Everything around me looks same as any other day. Some channel on TV and is being muted, I was holding my iPad playing subway surfer, my roomie was busy with his laptop [Could be in FB as usual], my other roomie was busy with his phone [Could be with his girlfriend] home theatre is running some songs which my roomies doesn't care to listen and my phone is just a hand distance away. Three of us are under one roof but we hardly speak unless it is necessary. Should we be happy that technology shortened the distance between people or sad that it had distanced the nearby people.

 Such a nice song from the home theatre, - “tonight is going to be a good night, tonight is going to be a good good night”- I too hope so. Whoa whoa whoa… it’s about Malaysian flight news in TV. [Unmuted TV] Seems like I cannot stick to my swear for so long, it’s already 11 but and no traces of Malaysian flight.  Yes, I swore to myself that I would not fly until Malaysian flight traced out.  TV muted back. Its 11PM.

[Cell phone chimes]

 ‘that’s my phone' a txt message to my phone. I looked at my phone again. It has two sparkling stars at the backside of phone which my phone should not be having. It seems like my phone got exchanged. There is a nice girl pic on the phone's desktop. 'You are looking amazing' I replied. Started thinking when my phone got exchanged and felt happy about the happy accident happened today.

She: when ll u return my ph?
Me:  when shall v meet?
She:tmr?
Me: i hv ofc. There is nothing urgent for me. Hw abt this wknd?
She: wknd!! C'mon still 2 more days to go.
Me: Hey..Do you remember ? tomorrow is Nikhil's b'day.
She: oh..Yeah... Do u knw 'Nikhil'?
Me: haha... There is reminder in your phone.
She: My phone????

TV unmuted, seems like my roomies favorite anchor’s live TV program. It comes daily same time and same girl. Believe it or not he daily tries to connect to the fancy number of the program but never got a chance to talk with her. OMG…but not today, it got connected, such an unbelievable thing. The same song[-“tonight is going to be a good night”] had worked for my roomie as well. I was very eager to listen to the conversation. To my surprise, my friend who hardly speaks with me daily and busy with his phone all the time asked the TV girl to say “Hi” to me first and then continued with his usual bullshit. May be I should rethink on my two liner about the technology distancing people.

She: hello, u thr?
Me: hmm.. ya ya, where do u wrk?

I went into my room and locked.

She: you are getting call from 'rakhee'.
Me: jus, ignore.

She:Such nice ring tone u hv.

She:huh, u didn’t get the sarcasm in saying nice ring tone.U can easily kill someone with this ring tone.

Valentine's Day

A nice story...

          One fine day 'Franco Leone‘ found an envelope in her house mail box. The envelope had a nice rose attached to it. It’s been ages that there is some letter present in the mail box ever since her father went to Australia on business visit. Leone’s family was one of the richest families in “Patrica”. She got surprised to have her name written on the envelope with red ink. She went to her bedroom, unfolded the letter from envelop.

          Ms. Leone, good day...
          A day    = 24 hrs !
                       = 1440 mns!
                       = 86400 secs !
          Huh...not an easy one to remember. I have an alternative equation which is much simpler.
          A day = 1 smile of Ms. Leone.
          Believe me, I don't call it a day without your smile.

           If you agree for my equation, just write your reply in the empty paper which I kept in same envelope, and keep it in the same mail box. Though Leone doesn't agree for the equation, she just wanted to know who he was. She wrote 'Who are you?', and kept the reply letter back in the mail box. She was very curious to see who comes and picks the letter. Though she was busy in preparing for her board examinations, she kept an eye on the mail box from her balcony. No one came and collected the letter till evening.  In the night time, she went and checked the mail box, to her wonder, the letter was not there.

         The next day also mail box has same kind of envelop with a rose attached to it. Though she was not very surprised this time, but was very eager to open the envelope. She rushed to her bedroom and opened it by detaching the rose from the envelope.

          Ms. Leone, good day...
                         Thanks for your interest on trying to find who I am. I will surely let you know soon. I am very excited to tell you about an article in today's newspaper. By the way, did you check today's news paper? It had published list of marriages that are going to happen in the next 10 yrs. Believe me! It’s true, marriages are certainly made in heaven. It seems like there is no security for confidential information in heaven. Somehow, this information leaked to media and they have published it in the main paper itself. I didn't believe this list till I found my name next to my sweet heart's name. Needless to say name, Franco Leone. What an amazing truth!

     She grinned at the guy's insane idea of expressing his love to her.
 As expected the last line of the letter is, please write your reply in the empty paper which I kept in the same envelop, keep it in the same mail box.

As usual, she wrote 'Who are you?
Though she didn't believe what was said about newspaper’s article, she glanced at newspaper and confirmed that there is no such news. Unfortunately, she could not find who comes and collects the letter.
       The letters with nice poetry on her beauty and guy’s love towards her continued daily. In return he would promptly get a reply letter containing the same three words 'Who are you?' Leone started liking his letters but never expressed her interest.
         Few months later, on Feb 14, Leone was eagerly waiting for the letter to appear in the mailbox. To her surprise, mail box was empty for the whole day. She couldn't understand the guy's strategy behind this. How could a guy who expressed his love to her on every day, could keep silent on 'Valentine's day'? She blamed herself for being rude on her reply letters to the guy.
     Next day morning, a letter with bunch of roses present in her mail box. She was very happy to see the letter.
        Ms. Leone …
        Yesterday, I could see people around me were overwhelmed to express love to their sweethearts. People were busy in buying greeting cards, gifts and bouquets. They had asked me for my suggestion to make special bouquet and letters to impress. Whole day, I was very busy and was happy to help them. On the other hand, should love be expressed only on one day that too on an auspicious day called 'Valentine's day'? Yesterday, I have seen the excitement in people that I daily have and I am sure it will never descend.
   Here is the answer for your question, in the next page...
   My name is 'Alberto Torresi ', and yes, I am a rose seller.

Leone's reply...
I did see answer in the other page. Whoever you are, ‘I love you'. Let's meet today evening in Cafe Pascucci.

Lovely LOVE LETTER

I was wondering how I should propose Suni. I have searched in Google, asked my friends, colleagues for ideas. None of them are catchy. Finally, I have decided to write a LOVE LETTER but in a very different way. I tried to keep this letter very unique from any traditional LOVE LETTERs.  Finally it became a “Question paper” for her instead of LOVE LETTER. Still I like it. Here is the letter that I have handed her in CCD on one fine Sunday.

1. What happens to my spontaneity while speaking with you?
2. Why should I rehearse my dialogues before talking with her?
3. Why I always blame myself after our converse thinking “I should have said something else”?
4. Why cannot I ask myself that this girl doesn't match any of my check lists that I made long back to choose my girlfriend?
5. How my check list for an ideal girl got changed with all your characteristics without even my notice?
6. When did my heart convince my mind that you are the right person that I am looking for, even though my check list differs with you?
7. Why cannot I speak anything with anyone, if it is regarding your topic?
8. Why Shreya Ghoshal voice is not as sweeter as it was, after listening to your voice?
9. How the name Suni became so sweet that I even would not dare to save your name in my phone thinking, my phone would be covered with stinging ants?
10. Last and of course very least, Why am I asking all these questions to you, although I know that your answer is smile for every question? 

         I applauded myself for not using LOVE word in my LOVE Letter, still succeeded in proposing a girl. After reading everything she had asked for pen and written something on the same paper. Then she folded and asked me to open the paper once I go back home. Bad part is she didn’t smile for any of the questions that I mentioned. Moreover she looks upset after reading. I blamed myself for not leaving any space between each question for her to answer, if smile is not her answer. I rushed to home and opened it.

She just ticked on three Questions. I read those three questions again and again. I didn’t find anything special in these questions from others. I thought of calling her but something stopped me. I got bored of reading the same question and turned on TV. Nothing was good in TV, opened my DVD collection for playing some Telugu movie. While I was leafing through the DVD pouch, I found a DVD cover with name 1 4 3 (I LOVE YOU). There it is, I have again opened the letter and realized that she ticked on Q’s 1 4 and 3. Awesome! That’s what I exactly like in Suni.

P.S:- Thank God, people are not using 1 4 3 for I HATE YOU  J.

SHIFT+DELETE

    SHIFT+DELETE

   "There are only two types of girls in the world. One category is beautiful girls with whom you can easily fall in love at first sight. The other category is also beautiful but takes time to identify them as beautiful". As per my personal experience, the relationship with second category lasts long. But the time to identify her as beautiful should not take much time, at least not until she hands you her wedding card. 

                     Everyone wishing Sunitha as she got best performer award for this year. I also wished her and asked for a treat. To my wonder, she said yes. My friend says, "If you treat a girl you will never forget her, if a girl treats you she will never forget the Treat". I guess, it means they are serious about money. Anyway, I met Sunitha almost a year back. She is just another girl on the first day I met her. We daily use to chat. We use to go for lunch together. Sometimes, we went to movies also. But, after a year whatever she does is different from other girls. I really don't know when exactly I started liking her. Actually, I am in love with her now. Problem here is I don't know how to find whether she has a boyfriend or not. I had asked my friend "How to find whether a girl has Boyfriend or not". The reply was like this "It’s very easy, if you have her phone number. Call her after 11, if you get call waiting, she has boyfriend". May be its correct, but cannot call her after 11 without a good reason.
                    Coming to the treat, we went to Barista. Conversation went on for few mins. I have strongly decided to know whether she has a boyfriend or not by end of the treat. I started like this, I have recently seen a movie by name "Varudu". I asked her "Did you see that movie?". She said "NO". I said "In that movie, hero would not see heroine, not even her photo but agrees for marriage". I added "It will never happen in real life". She smiled. I thought this is the correct time to talk about her marriage plans. After a while, I said "My parents are forcing me to get married". But I told them "I need sometime for marriage". Actually, I like love marriages not arranged. How about you? She said " I like Love story movies, but not Love marriages". And she said that she got engaged already. I didn't believe her. I thought she might be kidding. She said that her marriage would be on next month. She even suggested that arranged marriages are better. Bad part of it was, she asked me to come for her marriage at least before 2 days. My mind stopped working. Suddenly, everyone 

around me became dumb. I could not hear anything except my heart beat. She said many things about her Fiance which I really didn't pay attention. I am not Kamal Hasan to change my face expressions so that she cannot recognize that I am sad. Anyways, I tried to keep smiling. I don't know what to talk afterwards. I hardly remember,she paid the bill and said "You need to come to my marriage with your girlfriend". I never said her that I have girlfriend.  It doesn't mean that I have girlfriend, just because that I said "I like love marriages". I didn't want to correct her though. That’s the most painful day in my life. I usually never skip dinner, but this time skipped. Suddenly, I remembered that I didn't even say congrats to her. I took my phone and called, "it was call in waiting". I looked at the clock, it's 11:10. I was bit happy that my friend's formula worked. She called me back after few mins. I said "Hey I forgot to say congrats". She said It's OK, Thanks.  Actually, I like her voice in phone than normal. It's hard to tell to myself that I should not call her, should not look at her, should not even think about her. But there is no other way, I have to. I didn't sleep for the whole night. I couldn't go to office next day as well. Forgot to tell you, this is not first time that I got late in selecting my girl. Same thing happened in my B.Tech also. The moment I found my sweet heart in my 3rd year B.Tech, she already had a boyfriend from 1st year itself. 

                     After a week, I have received a mail of her with subject "My wedding invitation". Later found her FB status also changed from single to engaged. I was very eager to see her Fiancé pic. Every guy wants to see his crush's fiancé/husband photos, compares with him and concludes "I am much better than this guy". Of course, I am not exceptional. It took so many days for me to forget Suni. I tried to DELETE her from my mind, but didn't work. Later I found, in order to completely delete we need to SHIFT our mind to someone else. "Thanks to Bill Gates for his SHIFT+DELETE formula". I just realized that the friend I was talking about is also second category of girls. This time, I should not hesitate.

*** Some text still missing ***

                                                    *** Some text still missing ***

 I laugh at some movie scenes,where in hero thinks of heroine all the time and end up with one duet. Before meeting this girl,I never believed in such scenes Sometimes, it even happens to me except duet part.I really feel lucky to meet such a nice girl in my life.Her name is 'Sunitha'. If I were G Pulla Reddy(Andhra's famous sweet maker), I would have named a sweet with name "Sunitha".

       Today morning I was on my way to PVR forum on my bike, seen a car with name Sunitha. From then,till my way back to home I reminded her many times. I have seen a girl dressed in white chudidhar with blue scarf, the dress Sunitha wore when I met her fist time. And first time in my life, I liked white colour. Went to landmark and seen the sipper which she gifted me long back. I was expecting a nice gift from her on my b'day, but she gave this sipper and said 'I thought for entire night but could not get a better gift than this. I have asked what is so special about this. She smiled and it's not new one, I used it yesterday. What a crazy idea. Believe me guys, the water from that sipper is really sweet till now. I am sure if this idea gets leak to 'Archies',there will be more number of sipper bottles than anyother gifts for valentine's day. Not only this, her likes are different from any other girl.

        My idea of a girl is, who likes Chocolates,ice creams but Suni likes are Green tea,Mirchi bujji. I thought girls always like Teddy bears and greeting cards, she doesn't have special interest on both of them. Thinking girls like rain,I have asked her once while it was raining "Shall we walk in rain", she replied "Are you nuts, will fall sick". I wonder how girls talk with very low voice in phone but shouts if the the person is in front of her. No chance, She doesn't like to speak over phone much unless urgent.

 In short,If God gives me an "Order form" to manufacture a girl, I would tick for all her qualities.

                 Anyways,Though my wife doesn't have any of her qualities, I love my wife a lot. I found one truth that if you love a girl first,whatever she does would always be best compare to others. Memories are over,time to head back to home from PVR forum. Forgot to tell you one thing about Sunitha. Though I didn't marry her, I need her permission to make any money related transactions. Wondering why, her name became my bank's password.

"My instant Hobbies"


       Once I went to pvr forum, there I saw a guy drawing people's  faces in live. The faces were not their exact faces but added with some exaggerated face features. I didn't know what the art called,came to know that it is called caricature. I liked it very much. The very next day it became my hobby. Tried day and night to get that art. In work, in meetings everywhere I use to hold a paper and pen trying to draw. The story continued for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks the interest getting decreased day by day. Once in day later once in two days then weekly once and then now it became a memory. It's just one of the example of my instant hobby.
      Let me give you one of other example. While I was in +2, I got little strange hobby.I some how got interest in celebrity interviews. I mean, I was interested in the questions that the interviewer ask celebrity. I try to answer the questions before the celebrity answers. If the interview comes in new paper, I use to cover the answer and try my own answers. I somehow think, what if I become a celebrity and undergo some interview like that. Mostly my answers would never match with the celebrity's answers.this hobby also not lasted for many days. Actually,the frequency of this hobby decreased but now also I sometime try this.

  There are many hobbies like this till now.cannot explain each and everyone. I will just brief few of them.once I started liking violin tried to even buy,left it after few days.liked tunes of Ilayaraja, tried my own tunes with hum for some days.Tunes are still lying in my phone's"Voice recordings". Not great as expected though.inspired by a commercial ad tried to write such ad. Tried to make even some short movie,couldn't make it till now. 


Last and of course very least,liked few blogs, trying to write blogs like this and never know when would I "Say middle drop".

Caring for words ... THANKS,PLEASE.

   I met a person in US, after talking with him for few minutes,I came to know that this person's most commonly used word is THANKS. After meeting this person I thought for a moment, does this person really mean the word or not ? Afterwards, I met many people who uses same Word frequently. Let me give you an example, A guy asked me whether I have seen Rajesh or not. I said NO within no time. He said Thanks in return and left. That THANKS is just for my answer NO. I personally feel the favour that I did (Answering NO) doesn't deserve a word like THANKS.You might think what's the big deal to care for the word THANKS. I will let you know , how will it really matter.

                                              From my childhood if I say any word, I completely mean it. I never used to use any word just like that. Believe me, till now I had used these words very rarely. To be specific, I never misused these words. I sometime feel if you say Thanks for such a small favour,then what do you say for the help like saving your dear-one's life, may be your own life. I agree that a word really doesn't equal in return to the help of saving life. But, how sad to mention the same thing in the situations like I mentioned. All I want to say is, we are losing the importance of a word by misusing it. You might think for alternatives like THANKS a lot/ton, but the source of the sentence is still Thanks. Just think about it.

Let's check the word, PLEASE. This word is also not exceptional in this case. The frequency of usage for this word is also same as THANKS. I don't want to stress much on this. I just want to tell you one of the real case and conclude. Once I was asking for some help from my friend. He was not willing to help. After so much of trying to convince him, with a smile I said "I rarely use the word PLEASE, I tried not to use the word till now, cannot help it seems. PLEASE do this" :). All of sudden he agreed :). I haven't expected this at all. I am sure that if I had used PLEASE in the starting of our converse casually, the meaning of word would have lost. I mean, he would not have consider the word at all, as he might have heard the word quite often. Really, WORD POWER MADE EASY my life :)

So, feel the WORD and always mean it.
