The B'day

The B'day, 22nd Apr 2009

After a couple of days thinking about it I realized that it’s not a big deal. So I just had to buy a new sim so that we can stay connected on this sim. But, then…..

But then it was just the sim…. What about a phone??? After asking a few office people I finally got one instrument from one of my office friend’s… so was all set to fulfill all her wishes.

As expected, first wish was from Sia only… only because I was on call with her since 11 pm only… and that too not on the regular number but on the new number. However at 12 the phone start coming in and with the another phone in my hand I started taking wishes and in the break I talked to her….. So that way I stay connected with her and then after 12.45 the phone stopped ringing and then I continued on the call with her. This time again I opened the V’Day gift, the scrap book and then continued from where we left last time… and then lost in the beautiful world where it was just two of us and no one else… where we were lost in each other’s arms… where we were………

My b’day is coming…

15th Apr 2009
My b’day is coming…

But this time this is gonna kill me…
Afterall Sia madam is madam… this time her gifting idea was awesomely killing… but nothing less that riddle. And that too not on phone, I received it on a mail.

My Jaan,
As you know that your b’day is coming so I’m now tired of thinking about a b’day gift for you…. So now I’ve thought of an innovative gift…. Now as a B’day gift I want to be with you only till we sleep… I wish I could be there with you physically but for the time being lets stay connected on phone only.
So here I’m putting my gifting request in proper words…

1.   I want to be first one to wish you on your B’day, u are not going to take wishes from anyone till I wish you.
2. I want to be with you all time till I sleep else otherwise I’m not going to wish you…

And in case you cheated me, trust me I am not gonna talk to you till my exams finish, and you know how ziddi I am and when I don’t talk to you my mood takes the flight and I cant focus on studies….
So…. Now you are and IITian you can understand :-)

You must be wondering I could’ve told you this on phone, but then that way you would have excuse ki mujhe yaad nahi or tu bol rahi thi tab so gaya tha….. I know how many excuses you have…. So here it is in properly documented format so that I have evidence as well.
Now sweetheart, dhamki samjho chhahe pyaar… mera gift to tumhe accept karna hi hoga… nahi kara to dekh lena….

Love you bahoot saara
Tumhari Sia
Muaaahhhhh

Now m in the state of shock… what to do… If I stay connected then everyone else gonna give me earful in the morning and if I don’t then………

The Day - Valentine's DAY

The Valentine's Day 

14th Feb 2009
Valentine’s Day
Though not in mood to sleep but still we slept....
In the morning at 8.14 am the phone rang again...
Tringg tringg… Tringg tringg… the phone was ringing… I was half asleep and picked up the phone 

Me: Hello....
Sia was at other side....
She: Hey shona..... Good Morning..... Happy Valentines Day.....
Me: Hmmmmm....
She: Hmmm kya.... chalo utho jaldi office jaana hai na.....
Me: Hmmmmm.... uthta hu... 2 min
She:  Arre uthoooooo, tumhare 2 min kabhi poore nahi hote jaldi se utho

Me: Hmmmmm arre bas 2 min aur sone de na yaar..... tu bhi aaja mere pass so ja...
She: hehehe shutup, chalo theek hai 2 min mei uth jaana and mujhe msg kar dena.... warna fir dekh lena...
Me: Ji....
and I hung up the phone.... and slept again....


Tringg tringg… Tringg tringg… the phone was ringing again… in half sleepy mode only without looking at the caller-id. I picked up the call


Me: Hello Sweetheart....

Caller: Abe sweetheart ki aulaad, #$%#$ subah subah chadha kar baitha hai kya....

Me: kkkkkaun???

Caller: Saale tera baap bol raha hu..... Amit..... kaha pada hua hai

Me:  arre yaar late soya tha to neend nahi khuli.... kya hua itni subah subah kyu fon kara

Amit: tujhe maloom hai kaunsa din hai aaj???

Me:  haan, Valentines' Day....

Amit: abe Majnu..... ghadi mei time dekh, abhi 8.29 ho rahe hai aur 9 baje hamein demo dena hai..... and demo to aapke Sean uncle ko dena hi hai na..... jo ki aapke bade .... Oops sorry BAHOOOOOTTTTT bade FAN hai.... jinhone aapke kaam ki quality ki tareef karte hue ek bahooot badi se mail nikali thi last time.....
Me: Whattttttttttttttttttt............... Bloody helll.... Rakesh (our manager) is gonna kill me..... 
Dude... Where are you right now?
Amit: Sweetheart.... I am right outside your door and when I was tired of calling you numerous times in last 1.5 hrs I decided to come over here and ringing the doorbell since last 5 mins but it seems no power out here.... neways m waiting here get ready and come downstairs....

Me: Thanks Dude.... you are the savior, m out of the bed and just coming outside in a couple of mins...

=========================================

Managed to reach the office in time with the help of Amit and the demo went good as well... Sean was too happy and hopefully he wont be sending the curse mail just like last time.

And when I told this to Sia at first she scolded me that why didn't I told this to her earlier.... but then when i told her that I forgot everything when I opened the gift.... I sensed her to be blushing... and then there was a silence when I asked her what happened.... she said  'Nothing...." and then I realized that she was crying... the tears of happiness.... the tears of love.... the tears of caring..... 


After a while a lightened the mood and then we laughed a lot over whatever happened in the morning........

Valentine’s Day

15 mins before V. Day to begin
Tringg tringg… Tringg tringg… my phone was ringing… and after few rings the call disconnected…
The damn thing had to ring only when I was out there in bathroom brushing my teeth
Tringg tringg… Tringg tringg… and it rang again…
I picked up the phone and: Kaha the… phone nahi utha sakte the kya…

Arre subah k 11 baje se se wait kar raha tha…. 12 ghante ho gaye and tu 2 min wait nahi kar sakti… I was just out there to brush my teeth…

Ohh sorry baba…. I was just teasing you….. I know tum subah se wait kar rahe ho…. But kya karu aaj ka din hi itna hectic hona tha ki kya karein… couldn’t be avoidable… accha chalo choro jo sunana hai baad mei suna lena :-) Quickly Go and get that box...

Me: Well the box is in front of me since the moment I came back… you don’t know how much I’ve controlled my temptation to not to open it.

She: ThankYou jaan…. Love u sho sho much….
And the clock strikes 12… she gave me flying kiss over the phone…MWAHHH  
Happy Valentine’s Day sweetheart…. You can now open the box…. And I opened the box…

The box had some very special gifts.

• A RED ROSE…
• A handmade photo frame with one of our best photos in it
• A specially prepared hand written scrapbook on hand made paper in which every details of our companionship from our first mail to all our dates along with lots and lots of pictures of us…

Seeing the scrap book, the pics in it, the handwritten content, I was stunned, was mesmerized, and was completely lost in those dates, those events, those mails, and those memories. So awesome creativity it was that I lost my words for a few minutes. I was so silent that she had to hello… hello… kaha gaye…. kaha kho gaye…. kuch bolo bhi…. And I was like hmmm, hmmmm, hmmmmm this went on for almost 5-10 mins after that I came back to my senses and resumed our talks.

And then I was reading the scrapbook loudly and we were discussing everything. By 4 AM we re-lived all our dates, now as I had to go to office so we decided to end our call for the time being and go to the bed.
Love you Sia, what an amazing gift it was… I will never believe someone prepared such a beautiful gift just to me…
Love you a lot…

A day before Valentine's Day

A day before Valentine's Day

At 10.30 AM I was about to leave for the office and got a call from some Gurgaon landline number.

Caller: Hello, Pranjalji bol rahe hai?
Me: Ji haan bol raha hu
Caller: Sir hum XYZ post office se bol rahe hai aapke naam par ek bada sa parcel aaya hua hai
Me: to aap deliver kar dijiye….
Caller: Sir, parcel bada hai.. cycle par nahi aayga… aap aakar collect kar lijiye.
Me: Ok… abhi aata hu

10.50 AM 
I was at post office taking the delivery of the parcel. Checked the parcel and was pleasantly surprised to see Sia’s name in senders’ details. I called her immediately but she didn't pick up, perhaps she was in class. Dropped the parcel back to the room and rushed to the office.

12PM, 2 PM, 4.30 PM, 6 PM, 7 PM
I kept on calling, left behind many messages but didn't even have had any replies or return call. Besides this, it was having pretty hectic day, too much work load and that to deliver today itself. Ambiguous situation – had a lot of work to do, almost impossible to leave before 9, and at back of mind it was the parcel that was waiting for me to open it.

8.30 PM
Finally got a message from her: “please don’t open the box before my call. Had to go for a practice… Bbye” And even after sending a couple of messages, no replies. Was too much tempted to open the box but now had to wait…

11.15 PM
No call yet… normally we use to be on phone by 11. She is testing my patience, I’m on verge of losing my temper but the look of the gift is controlling it to the best. Lets see who wins…

11.45 PM
Tringg tringg… And then she called…
