Pune diaries…..a remembrance…part 1.

Ajay started fiddling around some friendship sites online that evening like most of the other evenings. There was this site which listed several email ids of people who had registered themselves for almost a similar purpose. And that site caught the attention of our so far timid Ajay.

With a bit of apprehension he started going through the list……..he had this idea that such sites only listed fake email ids and nothing works around. That’s why this apprehension. But, that evening, something or somebody from somewhere inside him told him, what the heck……..why not try….what will happen…?…..it will be another fake encounter…….how to know if not tried….?…..

He was confused…..but decided to go ahead with it………

Going through that list multiple times, his eyes got stuck at one name …………….. Amita Thomas…..with a Yahoo mail id. He didn’t know why that name suddenly got stuck in his eyes……why that name created a little odd curiosity in him….a little excited feeling which can easily create some pictures in the mind, in fact many pictures within a very little time………………it was just a name with a mail id, nothing more, no description, no location information, no purpose or reasoning to be listed on that site, but just a name and the mail id……..was all that sent some waves through Ajay……..:)

Yes…Ajay felt that way too…..maybe that name gave him all the confidence to go forward……..that name became that energy he always yearned for ……that positive vibe which made that evening somewhat memorable for him……

“Hi, my name is Ajay…..I am a banker from Calcutta……just got your id from this site…..and am writing to you…..would love to know more about you if you would be interested…..will wait for your reply………bye…take care..” …………….was all he could muster up the courage to write in a huddle……….he couldn’t remember when was the last time he felt such shaking in his heart while writing these few words to someone he just didn’t know anything about…..a complete stranger……….:)

He immediately shut off his desktop after sending that message……….one side he anticipated a negative response and got scared to receive it……on another side he got very excited to have his desktop open to receive a positive response from Amita………boy, he put himself under some tension…:)……………………………………………………………………………….
