TALKING TO THE LISTENER

OK. So here I am hitting the pen again - Oops ! The keyboard I mean. It was an eventful day. There's a lot that happened through. Most of the moments were infact fun - as far as I remember them.
Started off with a late night lonely taxi drive to a relative's place. 'Twas followed by a mouthful of tasty dinner after quite a lot of time. Generally speaking - the hostel food is pretty boring - or perhaps ordinary - and sometimes even crossing the limit of ordinary. I really don't know. Sometime I am so confused about giving the right adjective to a particular situation , that I end up spoiling the image of the situation. So let me take a break from doing the same again.
Yes, so let's get down to the topic again. The sumptuous dinner. And then all the family-family lovy-dovy drama. Ended finally at morning 5:30 when my support as a partner to drinks to one of the members ended(I do not drink though ! )
The day ended almost abruptly, or the perhaps the day started almost abruptly at morning 5 o'clock when I started off the day by - Eh - Sleeping ! and the morning sleep seldom gets complete before 2 in the day. A pretty non eventful day after that, when in evening I had a meeting - got lost while coming back - then took the wrong route - got lost again - and then walked a kilometre in the opposite direction - and then came back - was completely exhausted, and I think I should end it here.

But wait, where did the topic of this post get lost? Or probably it hasn't. Thus, the moment I reach  back, I make it a point to talk to an aggrieved listener , who has been purposely waiting to hear my voice for the past 3 days - and that is what the listener claims - or may be - Ah, I am a bit confused. So yes, back to the topic - I talk to her, with a prior appointment . Oh , did I forget to mention about the appointment? Perhaps. I did it because most of the times there is one of the following problems that generally occur whenever we try to strike the much awaited conversation-

  • Either my phone does not have enough balance and snaps in between, or the listener's(for the missed call),
  • There are people in the listener's room, and ofcourse mine 
  • The listener sleeps too early, or I call too late
  • The listener has an old samsung. Its not at all like the Premier Padmini Effect( probably I have patented this effect's name now) - the older , the better. The older, the worse( I wish I could use the wrong English articulation - "badder" here - would've made more sense perhaps ! )
So in short, after a happening day, when the listener finally gets to hear my voice - the listener has only one thing to say after five big minutes of talk - Don't you think , we'd talk tomorrow, I'm so sleepy? And though I find it cute, and a good amount of attachment filled in that is what I can observe, I find it difficult enough to convince me that vetting all the above point effects, and getting to talk , or even hear the voice(each others ofcourse !) once in 3   days could not lift her sleep for a time of being, or a moment of it. 
But the conclusion I drive from it is as good as inconclusive - the different happenings in the day - the various moments spent in the time - as soon as you start sharing them, and the listener falls asleep , should you find it cute, or hate the listner.
My take - Its my life, and its even hers - and yes "its" even her's. So you like it or not - you get moulded into the melting pot , and feel the attachment has become rather more closer. Its a time when this particular listener can seriously tell you  - yes dude ! you are disturbing me - let me have a good night's sleep , which earlier due to the ton of formality either one of us could not afford to say . 
However hard I try to defend my particular cause, the better and the more logical reason I have to look into all this in a positive light is that I don't really have an option  -  - -  I can't hate the listener - the listener will beat the hell out of me !   
GodSpeed !

Been Long


And yes, this is how the title of the post justifies it. Its been really long, I have been away from being out of the cocoon since quite long now. To mention precisely its been almost one full year, that I have stopped writing in public. There were notions, and that too many, which I needed to express through channels. I wrote blogs, got involved in a lot activities , proactively pursued what I needed to do in life - that is - do something different - Be Recognized !
However moments, happenings, and events in this particular course of time, forced me to withdraw and shy away. Or perhaps it was not shying at all - it was a lack of fruitful recognition that made me get surrounded in an exotic opaque web - so exotic that it was only me who could occupy space in it.

Times change, and events too. In the meantime people change as well. Talking about others is still easier, one changes himself as well. So for this very fact , I , have decided to give life another proactive shot - or perhaps a writing shot.
