A Phone, A Pal, and A Story – Part 2

vparupal — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 05:16:11 +0000

After the phone call, I didn’t talk to them for 10 days… of course I felt bad for not talking to them.
10 days later…. October 24th, 2004.

My friends became frustrated seeing me in such a bad mood and to relieve me from that mood, they took me to a movie.

It’s the second show, and we enjoyed the movie a lot… throughout the movie, whenever I see the heroine (I am sorry I didn’t tell the movie name… it’s “Anand” and the heroine is as you know “Kamalini Mukherji”) I wished Anu look like the heroine.

I didn’t talk to both Anu and Nidhi for these 10 days… as I was walking along with my friends towards my room after the movie, I got an SMS.

It’s from Anu wishing me good night. In the same SMS she apologized me for the harsh tone in our previous call. I sent a reply saying “it’s ok and I should have been cautious while talking to girls…”

That’s a bull-eye . My sentimental message had hit her strong. Immediately I got a call from Anu and she tried to explain how bad she felt for being harsh on me J (actually I didn’t feel her words harsh at that time!!!).

I strongly felt that she started thinking of me and at such an odd time she is trying to apologize… I told myself that it’s the twist. Earlier she was reluctant to let me to talk to her sister. But now, she herself is interested in me and my feelings. I thought that finally I could get someone who really thinks of me and cares about my feelings.

My life has come back into action :)

After that we (I and Anu) became good friends and used to talk so often. I always tried to make her feel that she is something special to me.

It’s December 26th, 2004… As it is weekend, I went to my home town and was busy watching TV.

While surfing through channels, I saw the news about Tsunami… the first and foremost thing came into my mind is “Anu”… she stays in Vizag which is on seashore…

Being much worried about her I tried to call her.. but the network traffic did not allow my call to connect her mobile. So I sent an SMS to her to check how she is and she instantly replied that she is safe…

On the next day, I talked to her regarding Tsunami and she explained how their area was affected. She was moved by my concern and care.

After 4 more days, we both exchanged new year wishes and I sensed that year 2005 is going to be the most memorable year in my life.

As someone said that friendship is the base of love, I started to love Anu and was waiting for time of proposal.

Her sister, Nidhi came to know about my feelings and she used to tease me by calling “baava” (means brother-in-law).

On 2nd Jan 2005, while talking to Nidhi, I said that I love her sister Anu. But the destiny has its own plot…

As Nidhi had to go to attend some guest, she handed-over the phone to Anu. Anu heard the words “I love Anu” silently and she simply hung up.

I was in an impression that I talked to Nidhi only and because of the signal, the call had been dropped. I tried to call them again but all my calls were unanswered.

I thought it’s the miserable end of story which started in October 2004 L and I myself destroyed our friendship.

A Phone, A Pal, and A Story – Part 1

vparupal — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 22:09:40 +0000

It was just another normal day when I woke up at 10:00 AM and started brushing while enjoying the greenery of IDPL Colony, Jeedimetla from my room’s window.

Suddenly I got a missed call from an unknown number… After brushing, I dialed the number to check who the person was.

To my surprise I heard a sweet female voice on the phone and she told that it’s a wrong dial. I said ok and hung up.

As we were a group of jobless fresh MCA graduates, our (mine and my friends) concentration was mostly on Career Chronicle and girlsJ…
Being mischievous and eager to make a female friend who’s neither my classmate nor my relative, I gave it a try to give her continuous missed calls… at that time I wasn’t aware of the consequences.

After a couple of days, I got a call from her number. With trmbling hands, I pressed the OK button of my phone and I heard a new voice (it’s not SHE with whom I talked earler) and that girl was shouting at me…

I kept quiet for a moment. Later before cutting the call she said “why do you guys give missed calls? Don’t you have guts to talk to a girl? Anyway, don’t give me missed calls after 9 PM as our parents will be home..”. I was puzzled with her words… is she hinting something? Does she want to talk to me? She is not the girl with whom I talked before… who is this new character?

I chose to wait and see because her words were not harsh… at the same time she wasn’t so polite… I thought she might be a tomboy kinda girl and sister of HER.

On the next day I called up her and again the tomboy came online. She introduced herself as “Nidhi”. According to her words she stays in Vizag and she was a B.Sc. I year student.

When I asked about HER, she said SHE is her sister named “Anu”. Both of them were studying in same college.

From that day, my schedule was adjusted to have long phone calls with Nidhi. I starting waking up at 8 AM J so that we can talk till she starts for college.

After a week, Nidhi introduced one guy called “Raja” on phone and said he’s her relative cum boyfriend. I inquired whether her sister had any such friends… then she said SHE doesn’t have any.
Nidhi sensed my interest towards her sister and started teasing me when I raise HER topic.

Days were simply passing like that and oneday when I called Nidhi, Anu answered the call and told that Nidhi was not at home. I thanked God for giving such an opportunity to talk to Anu. Then Anu told me about the relationship between Nidhi and Raja and asked me not to call Nidhi so often. When I asked for the reason, she said Raja is not so comfortable when Nidhi talks to other boys.

I promised her that I wouldn’t call Nidhi regularly and wished Anu goodbye and hung up…

That is where the story took its twist…

Here’s the woman Mohan garu cannot stand!

Chakravarthy — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 15:16:21 +0000

I know Mohan Garu often talks about how he disagrees with Ayn Rand.

Figured I post an Ayn Rand interview where you can see the personal side of Rand. She talks about Jimmy Carter, Aristotle, Plato, self-interest, charity, evils of sacrifice, middle-east oil, religion, atheism, god, and her husband who had just passed away. You get to see a rare personal side of Rand in the interview where she says she would die for her husband.

Four Seasons Around My Place: Winter

Admin — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:47:21 +0000

Well, this is how winter looks around my place.

I took most of these pictures in and around the trail in Ellanor C. Lawrence Park, Fairfax, VA. Some pictures were taken on Dec 20, under 26 inches of snow, and some were taken on Jan 31, under about 6 inches of snow. It is pleasant to watch the pictures and virgin snow out there. But when you have to dig your driveway to the 3-car garage from under 26 inches, it is time for several Advil.
