A chat needn’t
just be between two united hearts. It could even be between childhood friends, colleagues,
people at the blossoming point of their roman
ce, broken hearts searching a dictionary
to find words after break up. The medium
could be a Facebook chat box via the PCs of 2000s, the latest tabs, a facebook
messenger or a Watsapp chat installed in a smart phone.
Raged,
wondering what the hell is all this about? The time could well……Again could??
Enough of this cr**! “So..then…whatsup…hmm….had….did…hey…really…ohhh….”
These clichés form an integral part of any chat irrespective of age, gender and
situation.
Excuse me!
The place could (now you understand the reason for the excuse) be a conference
room of an office, bedroom, pavement, subway, compartment of a train, a bumpy
ride on a city bus.
Woo!Oh!...Please
don’t shut on my words! For you should realise it’s predominantly a blabber and
not a blog.
Request you
to hold on for another 150 odd words.
Let’s assume
the conversation takes place via Watsapp chat in a beautiful smart phone from either
side and the time midnight - so that one can’t remember the next day on what’s
being said the earlier night!
With the
charge in the mobile dwindling gradually, the chat eventually begins with a few
of the traditional clichés listed earlier.
As minutes
pass by, eyes start eagerly looking at ‘typing…… the new cop in watsapp– blue
tick marks…’ You start typing….and the drowsy
eyes catch the recipient “typing”….And now you stop only to see the status at
the other end ONLINE.
SSh!!! Everything
has come to a standstill. What next? You decide to lead the conversation and
the same thought process happens at the other side of the table. “Hey ..today”….And
the chat continues……
Yes. It’s
boring like the dragging songs of the 1960s Tamil movies.
Now the story
starts…OMG! Don’t worry it’s short and hope those who read find it sweet.
So…. You
send: “Feel tired..Will text you tmrw!” Good night…
And the
response: “Sure..Good night!”
You send: J
If the
person at the other end is your friend /dad/mother/sister/boy/girl/neighbourhood
uncle/opposite house aunt/ no matter whomsoever be it would least bother to
reply. For they are already fed up having had a chat with you losing their
precious sleep.
But if the recipient happens to be your lover or seeking a love quotient with you or your best friend one can be rest assured of a RETURN SMILEY! J
And you sense
an opportunity : And start all over again.. “Hey not yet asleep!”
THE LAST
SMILEY – often determines your relationship or the progress of it. A slight misunderstanding
would mean a LOST SMILEY!
