So many people...so little time!

The last couple of days (I think I am beginning to love this phrase a lot), I have had the chance to talk to different people, from four different walks of life. Two of them I was talking to, after a considerable period of time, the third person - a blog friend, I spoke for the first time. The fourth was a guy who coincidentally managed to find me through some commonalities, and we chatted online. And some very interesting conversations ensued. The fifth was a college guy, with whom I managed to discuss cricket. I dont know how.

So let me get into this kind, generous mood, and say some nice things about all them. Some advice may just flow...may haan...so kindly bear with me! It was because, it felt nice talking to each one of them. Seriously.

Lady 1, much much younger. I think, one of the more mentally tough women I have seen. She can give you an impression that shes talking gibberish, but at the end of the talk, you realise that shes made purrfect sense. Talking with her, I also realised that the world is a small place, and it is shrinking by the minute. Serious set of coincidences. Anyways, just want to tell you lady-1, that when you take things into perspective, these things matter for nothing. And I did tell you what is that matters. let nothing else bother you. You will do just fine!

Lady 2. An Old friend. Same college. Somehow, the tapori instinct in me gets out while talking with her. Her only response...sheeeeeeeee. Yet, she encourages. Some people na! Anyways, another person, who could have lost a lot of sleep over some drastic things in life, but did not. Chose not to. Way to go. Having Fresh Lime Juice while you were having tequila was a nice experience. Not wishing you on your birthday and yet getting a treat out of you was nicer! ;-)

Lady 3. Yeh apunki lateshht blog friend. A very interesting conversation for a first time. Again, enjoyed it. Accent sounded nowhere like what I had visualised (what do you call the sound equivalent of visualise?) And jahaan tak our common 'likes' are concerned - and I am referring to this small world of bloggerville - dontcha worry, many fall in the same category I am sure. For the rest of the things, I shall tell you what someone told me just a day back. He told me "to hang in there, it would be fine". The context was different, but yeah, the crux is the same. Hang in buddy gal!

Guy 1: Chatted only once. A short one at that as well. But kaafi gyaan mila. And he gave me a couple of wonderful ideas, though inadvertently, I must admit. Opens an avenue for me. I want to know more. And frankly, I would want advice from this guy, dont think I am in the position to be doling it out to him :-)

Guy 2: Yeh banda paagal hai. And he ensures that noone else around him remains sane. The only sane conversations we can have is on cricket, and that is simply because he abhors the game. So he would talk about Rakhi Sawants as cheerleader, and the nocturnal habits of the moth that fly around at Mohali. And why do we have wicket keepers for a bowl out? Isko kya bolna. Buss ek-do phatkey dene ki zaroorat hai.

Baaki toh mast. Surprisingly, with so little time, I was able to talk to so many people. Enjoyed.

P.S. Peeya went for the Mohali match, and was disappointed that SRK did not entertain them all. So she did not enjoy the match. I am telling you, she didnt because I was not there. (runs)
