Everything is different THE FIRST TIME.

After a real hectic day of checking mails.. scrapping almost everyone in orkut.. using the infy lan to call up friends in usa.. three frames of snooker and not to forget the 6 coffee-dum breaks that I had in a span of 3 hrs in my seat, I came back home totally exhausted and surprisingly early( trying to study something.) . In spite of all this I had not forgotten to call my friend Muthukumar for saying… “congrats on ur engagement.. “ OR “good luck on your engagement..”  I really dint know wat to say coz he was my first friend to get engaged and my usual calls to him were like .. “Machi oru 2k transfer pannu… “ OR “Mama.. vaada ramba polam.. neee sponsor pannu..”   ( yen pun patta nenjai pugai vittu aathiya maamanithar..)

                I really feel uncomfortable when I am out of words.. My first call was at 1 in the afternoon.. It was ringing and there was no answer. “He must be in cloud number nine.. “ I thought. But what was he doing in cloud number 9 without his cellphone.. I tried again.. Now the phone was not reachable.. Ha.. I knew it .. he had come down and taken his phone up there.. where u don’t even signal. After a few more trails I finally got through him at 9’o clock in the night, when he was about to get into the train. ( I have not tried so many times even to the girl who I had a major crush on.. ) . Like I said this was my first time having made such a call it was really different speaking to a commited person. (that’s how we say in orkut)

               He seemed to be really exited not because the engagement got over but he was to go back with her in the same train.. ( At the same time .. he was very upset about the fact that he has to travel all alone from Coimbatore to tirupooooooorrr.. That was the expression he gave for distance for 60 kms which is covered in 45 minutes. ). He even went to the extent of explaining the theory of relativity by Einstein in the same context. Then we got into some general talks on how the engagement went and other stuffs.. Out of the blues… he suddenly shouted out of excitement..( as if India had needed six to win of the last ball against Pakistan and Dhoni had hit one..)

Asking him wat had happened I was shocked to know that blue mountain express had started moving out of the Coimbatore station towards tiruppooooooorrrr.. ( I guess this is an event that happens everyday at 8 45 pm ). But still… wishing him again I kept the phone down.. Knowing him for more than 5 years.. I can bet saying he would have stood in the door waiting for her.

                Telling you all again.. it was such a different experience.. and if u ve missed it .. u can still give Muthukumar a call, I am sure he is still in that state.. and now I realize.. getting engaged is not just about changing your status to committed.. but about doing everything with all your heart .. packing every moment with excitement .. making life worth living.. and last but not the least.. realizing the basic laws of physics.. Really  Happy for you my friend.. (Machi treat in ramba for getting engaged..)

 

Cheers!!!!
