THIS IS ME...


I can’t really say I am happy the way my cell fell silent…at times you get so habitual to the noise around that silence strikes…you feel awkward...there was times I searched for ways to stay away from the mobile network...that’s the only way there was to avoid her calls without hurting her…but there was none…

there were incessant calls…she used to talk about any thing and everything in her life…about hundreds of lovers she had…about the hundreds of proposals she used to get daily from those around…about the years old relation she have, that at times goes sore...I just keep on listening with some ‘yah’, ‘that’s great’, ‘oh’, and ‘so sad’…

then there were the thousands of problems that she face…I am supposed to come up with a solution…while listening to a new problem at hand I was supposed to find solution of an older problem…at times she was ready to give me some time as she accepted the fact that the ‘chip’ I have some in my head is a pentium3 rather than a pentium4…

Of course in between I was told how much my presence in her life matters to her…smile on my face…at times I have to face questions like why I care so much about her...” I have no idea” used to be my reply…in fact that was the reply that my P3 used to generate…”some thing in you attracted me, there’s some thing for which I respect you”…and I will be there for you till the end…

Then there were times I failed to manage my time out of my busy schedule to listen to her…I failed to find solution to many of her problems…and she too became busy with her new found job…she became busy enough, not to call for ten days at a stretch…it took some time for me to adjust the aperture and shutter speed of my P3…deafening silence…and on last friendship day I got a message,” urgent call”…I did not…again the same message…my heart said, do not…

Then the mail came “hey what happened?
Why are you not responding?
I miss you.

-------yours nymph”

I tried to feel the insides of me…there was some pain some where…I too miss you..but you have missed the train I am on…..

SAYONARA!

"Yuji San! Are you happy?" asks Frank. (San is the Japanese equivalent of Mr.). Yuji looks at the space in front in a meditative mood (as if he is trying to work out whether he is happy or not). Then he draws a typical big Japanese smile on his face that reflects extreme happiness and shake head heavily, "Yes, Yes"(the second yes to confirm the first yes). This would set all five of us into a roaring laughter. This was the second time I met with Frank. He is 67 and a manager of a European auto giant. He works till 2 O'clock in the night (!) and gets up at 6 in the morning. In spite of that I have never seen him dozing off on a ride as long as four hours. I also have never heard him raising his voice to express dissatisfaction. His silence was enough to set all of us into motion to correct what ever mistake made or occurred. However his voice shakes everything around when he is happy, when he laughs. Yuji is an engineer. As it happens with almost all Japanese, Yu...

I AM WATCHING YOU...

It's the talk of the office now. We are uneasy, working under the ever-inspecting eyes of the cameras installed at the corners of the office floors. Bloody intruders! “What they are trying to convey?" "Simply that you are under scanner. So you are to ensure that you are maintaining the decorum of the office." "But was that not the way things were going in the office before? I have never heard some one doing something unwarranted in the office space." "Why have you forgotten that walls elevators were converted to graffiti boards?" "Some one with a freaky mind must have done that but that does not mean that you will indict every one for that incident." "Why do not you just ignore them? If you are doing nothing that is questionable, why should you bother about those cameras? You will just get familiar to it in a few days." Logically it's true. Unless you are not wrong, you need not worry about the laws and restrictions. But ho...
