The Lie!

¨Again, Again? You lied to me again?¨

¨Well, technically its not much of a lie you see, I might have exaggerated some stuff¨

¨You told me that you met with an accident, while really you just cut yourself while shaving¨

¨Good point! You win, I loose but, at least you came to meet me¨

¨Good point? I don´t see the whole point of you lying to me when you know that I always find out as soon as I see your face¨

¨Ahaaaa! Well thats not entirely true, you only catch me when I want you to catch me.¨

¨Bullshit! And why would you want to lie and then get caught on purpose?¨

¨We are guys! We do that stuff all the time, mostly to make you believe that we cant lie to you¨

¨What crap! I bet you cant lie to me and not get caught¨

¨I soooo can!¨

¨No you can´t¨

¨Yes I can¨

¨No you can´t¨

¨Yes I can¨

¨NO YOU CANNOT!¨

¨Wooooah! Relax, Okay I cant¨

¨Thats right¨

¨See, right there I just lied to you and you totally believed it.¨

¨That does not count because it was not a lie¨

¨Ok cool! Here is the deal, I will tell you one and only one lie in the next 7 days, when am done I will tell you that I have lied to you and I´ll give you some time to catch the lie, if you do you win, or else I win¨

¨What??? Thats not even a deal... how much time?¨

¨How much do you want?¨

¨How about 1 day after you have told me that you have lied to me¨

¨How about 1 year!! And you still wont be able to catch it¨

¨Ha! What does the winner get?¨

¨If you are not able to catch me in one year, You have to marry me!¨

¨Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaattt???¨

¨Why? Arent you confident??¨

¨Ok! What if I loose??¨

¨Ok... aaaaamm, well that I have to marry you!¨

¨Shut up!¨

¨Ok what do you want, it can be anything¨

¨I will tell you when I win! But you cant back out then!¨

¨I won´t, I promise!¨

¨Cool! So today is November 8th 2011, you lie to me in the next 7 days, starting tomorrow, your seven days end on November 15th 2011.¨

¨So by the November 14th 2012, Children's day! You arent able to catch the lie, we get married.¨

¨Trust me! It won´t go that far, coz am gonna keep a diary and make a note of everything you say to me in the next 7 days¨

¨Do whatever babe! Happy Marriage!¨

¨Show Off!¨

**********************

(4 days later)

¨You know you can stop making those diary entries after today¨

¨And why would I do that?¨

¨because I have lied to you already¨

¨You did??¨

¨So, lemme give you the 3 extra days as a bonus, I dont wanna calculate days again, morover Children's day seems kinda nice¨

¨I´ll catch it!¨

**********************

(Children's Day 2012)

¨5, 4, 3, 2, 1... Tadaaaa!! Say hello to the winner¨

¨Am sure you´ve cheated! You didn´t lie! Everything in the diary is the truth¨

¨Maybe you weren´t reading properly!¨

¨You mean the lie is mentioned in my diary and I have not missed writing it?¨

¨Its right there in the diary, last page, last line¨

She opened the diary real quick, read the line with tears in her eyes and mumbled softly the lie which had got them together, it read

Today he told me that he had lied to me.

¨Am sorry that you lost!¨

¨It doesn´t matter, I would´ve asked for the same thing!¨

¨Liar!!¨

Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?

I guess it requires a special talent of some sort to get into some sort of weird trouble every now and then and I think I have mastered the art. But the mess I have got myself into this time tops every chart... Once again, I think I'm in love...
I can't stop thinking about her, every time my phone beeps a message or rings I hope its her, every song I hear reminds me of her... every moment I am awake I keep thinking about what would I say or do when I meet her... Well, Big deal! Its not the first time this has happened... but this time the story gets a whole new twist....
The "her" is the above sentences happens to be my best friends girlfriend!!!

"That's the cue for a change-over. The movie keeps on going, and nobody in the audience has any clue." - Fight Club

I'm in such a big dilemma that even Raju Rastogi's dilemma when he had to choose between his friend and his engineering in 3 idiots sounds light.and to add to it, the couple loves to hangout with me
a usual conversation in office goes something like this
Friend: Saturday chalega ghoomne

Me: Nahi yaar kaam hai

Friend: Chal na, teeno masti maarenge

Me: Arre yaar tum log couple ho, mai kya karunga, you guys should spend some time together without me!

Friend: Chal na

Me: Nahi re, ghar pe kaam hai

Friend: Tum bolo, tumhaari sunta hai

Her: Chalo na

Me: Kab? Kahaan? Kitne baje? Kya Pehenkar aaun?

She calls me, messages me and complains about him not calling her or giving her space or about a 1000 other things in the world, which I don't give a damn about 'coz all I want to do is to tell her.. That I'll treat you like a princess, I'll give so much time and space that you could build a dozen continuums but all I do is justify him.
Makes me feel that I'm the smallest person on earth, breaking the code, falling in love friends girl... and nothing absolutely no statement I make makes me feel good about it!!
As of now, I have created a fake girlfriend whom I use as an excuse not to hangout with them... have missed 3 hangouts and she messaged me every time that they are missing me.
Have no clue about what to do and am sure no one has!

Kissa ek Sorry ka!

India won an Olympics gold... and as Mr. Bachchan rightly puts on his blog "..nothing can top this news..".
A colleague of mine had come up to me in the morning and told me the news
"Oye.. India ko gold mil gaya!"
"Sachhi?"

I asked and then confirmed myself on the internet if the news was true and no sooner was it confirmed that I changed my Orkut profile picture to the Olympics logo and the profile name as "Rahul..India got its 1st Olympics gold" and then I got a scrap on Orkut from one of my friends in Chandigarh

"Saade, Chandigarh da munda hai" and that was it I just went up to almost every colleague of mine and asked
"Oye, where are you from in India?"
"Bla Bla Bla"
"Well, I am from Chandigarh and so is the olympic gold winner for India"
And walk out of the scene before they could reply...

It was probably the first time that I was happy about the fact that there is no one except me in the office who is from Chandigarh and even as I type I can't wait to see their expressions on their faces again... although am sure I will be getting fitting replies for my 'flaunts'

Oh but then the Olympics gold was not why I started to type... its just another bad habit of mine to get carried away and forget the original content

It was an incident that happened to me and one of my friends while we were in a bus,
Now it so happens that we both started discussing the topic of one of our commons friend's love affair, I was supporting the male and she was siding the female involved in the affair. It was something about Guys not expressing their love to girls as frequently as girls do. Now we both sat, debating and justifying our parts, and we had been doing that for almost 10 minutes now… and then all of a sudden…………

The uncle sitting in the front row turned back and said
"Do one thing…ok?"
And he stopped. I had to ask him to continue using my eyes.. so my expression told him "Go On.."
He obeyed "Solve the problem... But not in the bus ok?"
I nodded as he went on "Everybody is listening, so solve it in private ok?"
I wondered why he is using "ok" in every sentence
He did not stop "So... Don't solve it in the bus ok?"
I said "Sorry Uncle" and although I tried my best to look interested, but I was bored listening to "OK?" so I started thinking what would be going on in my friends mind and as if reading my mind "Uncle" shifted his eyes from me to her….

I did not; I was just looking at him My friend probably did not give him "Oh I am interested" looks coz he looked at me again and then turned and faced away like he was sitting.

It was my friends turn to get angry now "Not his father's bus" she said. I displayed a gesture to her using my hands asking her to cool down

"Its not like we were shouting" she said again. She was right, we were not shouting, it was not even loud, as a matter of fact the volume was lower than what we usually talk at But then the "Uncle" did get disturbed and in turn had disturbed my friend.

All said and done, we got out of the bus and then she says loudly
"Had he said to me all those things I would have asked him to mind his own business"
"He might be under some kind of tension, give him the benefit of doubt"
I said "Why take it out on us?" she asked
"Ok lets leave it, Ho gaya na khatam? Chodo ab"

We reached my house where my two other friends supported her by saying that I shouldn't have apologized "Ek sorry se kya farak pad gaya yaar.." I said

I don't know if I was wrong or right, but then this is the way I am, and this is how I would like to be forever!

Love

Love... is supposed to be a good thing right? Then why does it do this to people, makes them all aggressive and possesive and what not... if its a good thing its supposed to do only good or else its not such a good thing... we have boyfriends all around going around bashing and punching people because they love their girl, we have girlfriends around us crying and wailing because their boyfriends cancelled their calls or plans.. duh!!! truly speaking I am tired of listening to all this... I am tired of giving people advices of what to do and what not.. the only thing one can do if he or she truly loves is give them space, let them be. I don't know good or bad... but then I am happy coz I am away from this thing and I don't plan to get into this, Why change a formula that works? After all being happy is what everybody wants in life .. and in pursuit of being happy people wander so much, go to such great extents that they forget that the purpose was happiness...
Ok, he didn't call Big deal.. he'll call tomorrow and if he doesn't why don't you call. Fine she went with one of her male friends to the mall, they didn't get married, she didn't leave you, why are you mad?
Its all because of expectations and this post is all because my "friends" ruined my off day coz their partners did something what they thought was not justified.
a telephone conversation I had with my friend last night was something like this

"Rahul, he is not answering my calls, what could be wrong?"
"Its 2 am yaar, he could be sleeping"
"You answered"
"But then I don't think he is watching Alien vs Predator 2 on his computer"
"I want to cry Rahul... he always does this to me"
Now I know why he is not picking your calls "Arre, dont worry man, I am sure there is a logical explanation to it....."
