Blog 2901: Say cheesy!

Round and round the mulberry bush
The monkey chases the weasel
The monkey thinks its all for fun
Pop! Goes the weasel

I received his first sms on the 9th of July.
It said, "Hey! My new number is 93256*****. Please note it... aur maze ki baat to dekho, puraana number bhi yahi tha". [:D]

Plenty of Kgpians have been shifting locations and changing sim cards lately.
I reckoned only a truly, madly, deeply bakc Kgpian would be capable of such an sms.
Ergo, I replied back, "Hoohaa! Now sms me your name as well :-)"

Note, I sent that smiley too.
Bad move.
Caesar once said, "In war, events of importance are the results of trivial causes."
We'll see how.

He sent his next sms exactly 2 mins and 57 seconds after his first.
It read, "Messages are not for time pass. They silently say that I am thinking of you right now and also making you think of ME for a moment... "
He wrote his name at the end of the sms.
For convenience, we'll call him Dhakkan.
:-)

Dhakkan must be a bright boy.
He reckoned he could fire in the dark and hoped his sms would reach a girl.
Considering how considerate I am *halo firmly on head* I didnt feel like breaking the news to him just yet.
:-)

*Checking halo*
*Hello, check 123*
*Yep, still in place*
:-)

After 55 seconds, he sent his third sms.
It read, "Smile is the curve that sets everything straight. Plz smile"
I did feel like replying, "Dude, did you say 'straight'?"
But naah.
[:D]

*halo check*
*positive*
:-)

After 1 min and 14 secs, he sent his 4th sms.
Viewer discretion advised.
It read, "Chalaane do jo padosi goliyan chalaata hai. Hum Mithun ko bhej denge jo goliyan haathon se adaata hai".

Statutory warning - throwing objects at monitor after reading the statement above will only lead to a firmer halo on my head.

Dhakkan had fired his initial volley.
He waited.
Waited.
He prolly still remembered that smiley.
Waited.
Finally, after 12 mins and 26 secs, he fired.
"Aap apna naam bhi to batao"

I thought about it.
But should I have pulled the plug on his blissful dream?
Naah.
It would have broken his heart.
Ergo, I let it pass.

*Halo check*
*Affirmative*
:-)

An hour and a half later, he was back.
Prolly searched some site and jugaadofied more sms'
Or maybe went and got his sim recharged.
He sent me 5 more sms'.
Here's the last one.
Those with diabetes: do not read.
Those with insomnia: here's your pill.
"Never walk away from a true friend. When you see some faults, be patient & realise that nobody is perfect. Its affection that matters... not perfection. Good night."

At 11.50 that night, Dhakkan again sent me an sms.
Woke me.
Put me in a quagmire.
One one hand, I had an urge to ask him to fuck off.
On the other, the fun had just begun.
I checked my halo.
I went back to sleep.
:-)

Dhakkan prolly woke up early morning.
Tilled the earth.
Wiped the sweat off his brow.
Fed the cows.
Drew water out of a well.
At dusk he shed his farmer's outfit.
Put on a his shades.
Gloves.
Dove into his repository of crap.
And began sms-ing.
He sent a couple more.
He called it a day.
I felt like sending him another smiley.
You know, just to keep the flame burning.
:-D

Next day morning.
8.45 am.
I arrived at my cafeteria.
Half groggy.
Half groggier.
Cell rings.
Its an unknown number.
Me: "Hello?"
He: "Hi. Aap kaun bol rahe hain?"
Me: *Hmm... this could be some real estate agent I've called* "Umm... Sunny here. Who's this?"
He: "Umm... main Dhakkan bol raha tha"

Now for the life of me I havent the slightest clue why people say "bol raha tha" on the phone.
Its not like they arent speaking any more.
Or that they were one avtar this moment and something else the next.
Anyways... I'm digressing.

It suddenly dawned on me that this, my sirs, was our dear Dhakkan finally deciding that he needs to find out if he's investing his sms' well.
Me: "Oh" *supressing a laugh* "Umm... haan boliye"
He: "Uhh... woh... errr... I received an sms from this number"
:-)
I'm thinking: "Yeah?! I've received a deluge of sms' from your number!"
Khair... I decided this needs to end here.
Me: "Hmm... I dont really know. My phone was with a friend for a few days"
He: "Oh... err... theek hai... woh... "
Me: "Hello, hello, hello" *click*
:D

*Halo check*
*Affirmative*
:-)
