After exchanging mails for almost every day during last 3 months we became good friends. Messengers (Yahoo, Gtalk) were blocked in her College Net Lab so our communication was though mails only. I would say we become something like email friend a new age version of so called letter friends who know each other only through their email ids. That’s all possible because of technology so we were in regular touch even though living more than 300 kms away from each other. Being student and having free access to internet helped in grooming our friendship, as despite having classes we always got some time to check mails and reply back.
She was a perfect stranger, kinda one I was searching for and with whom I can talk about a lot of things but I was cautious this time. Things were going on at fast pace as in someone got me registered to receive forwards and then I got friendship request and now I found a person whom I was searching last year. I had a feeling that someone might be making fun of my feelings as last year we saw similar case with my friend. That time one of my hostelmates (Ajju) played a prank on one of my friends (Babu). Ajju knew the Babu’s chat id with he logged in on chat room and one day Ajju logged in with some girly name (Anushka) and started talking to the Babu. This had been going on for a few days they started chatting sometimes for hour or two and even Babu missed some of his classes (whenever Ajju didn’t have any classes in that slot).
After 3-4 weeks of almost daily chats they decided to meet during IITDs cultural fest Rendezvous. She asked him to arrange 3 passes (for her friends also) for a music night by Euphoria band. He asked for her number but she said that she didn’t have any phone as of now. So they fixed up where they will be meeting and how to identify each other. He tried to arrange passes with the help of some seniors but managed only 2, so he stood in the queue under the sun for almost an hour in order to get the passes.
In the evening when he was waiting for Anushka and her friends to come and there comes Ajju with his friends and simply asked whether he was waiting for Anushka and open up the entire prank that was being played during last month. This was the topic to laugh in hostel for entire year. Although Babu was light hearted man so he laughed off and enjoyed the fun of the moment. But had someone played with my feelings regarding Neha I don’t know what I could have done.
That’s the reason why I haven’t started opening up with Sia, although she seemed quite a real person pursuing her BBA from a college in Jaipur, and similar to all girls liked dancing, singing, painting and chit chatting. I just hope, just hope that she is a real person.
