Yesterday night was one of the most memorable nights of my life because not everyday we meet a young beautiful girl on internet to chat with. It was actually I saw this girl in my friend’s album on orkut. She looked quite photogenic. She had this wheatish complexion with a big round eyes looking at you and red hot lips as if waiting for a kiss. I found her so beautiful that I started checking her out more often. I enquired about her from my friend Pinky. She said that her name is Annie and is a student of mass media. Since I myself was involved in media I was thrilled to know that she was in the same stream. Priya said that she had shown Annie my album on orkut and Annie found it yaaaaks (ugly). I am certainly not good looking but my day is made if someone describes my looks as ‘slightly above average’. But then I have never had such experience of knowing such truth about myself. The same day I scrapped her “hi this is Kunal ........pinky was telling me that u found me yaaaaaaaaaks......” I was surfing the other day when I got her reply “hey...nice way of breaking the ice I must say.. So you probably know by now that I speak my heart out. Still interested in knowing me? This girl had got a lot of attitude and it was as if her friends were the most beautiful person on earth. I had to give it back to her and then there started one of the most memorable conversations or I would say argument I had till date. I thought she may not be interested in arguing with me since it was about my looks, if I had commented on her looks she would have probably taken my phone number and fired me, girls always wait for compliments no matter how they look. But to my surprise she seemed to be very much in mood to argue over the issue. “I guess you judge people looking at their faces” I scrapped “I don’t understand how does it matter to you, you don’t even know me…there are many people around who pass judgment on you everyday. You need to decide which one to consider and which one to just not bother about...And I believe its more important to listen to people who matter to you.” She replied back. She certainly seemed good with words. She made me keep my mouth shut for a moment but then I really had to hammer my head hard to find a strong line to give it back to her. “Great thought ...Yes there are many who pass judgment on me everyday but then I don’t get to know that judgment. And your judgment I got to know so it made me react” it made me feel great because I was striking her back in a full force and even she would have thought hard before replying me back. “So you think its worthwhile wasting time on my judgment” she scrapped to which I said “I think it’s worthwhile to improve myself on the basis of your judgment” For the first time I felt that even I am good with words and am the best when I argue. She was not ready to give up and even I was adamant. We kept on arguing, my fingers were tired and they needed some rest. But that didn’t make me stop. We kept arguing till late night. I was so much involved that I even forgot to have my dinner. My mom kept on shouting but it fell to deaf ears, I was busy typing. I was enjoying and I guess even she was excited. It had to end somewhere so finally it was me who took the initiative,” I have 99 friends in my orkut list. Would you like to be the 100th ? And I also like people who speak their hearts out” this time I sounded friendlier. To which she replied,” smart, sure would like to be your friend. So officially I say hi and nice to meet (argue) with you.” I felt that I have finally scored over her (my point of view), it was as if I would receive some kind of award for winning the argument. I took a sigh of relief. She had accepted me as a friends and it seemed like an achievement for me. Later I took her phone number and spoke to her. We both were in process of making a great friendship. Hope it shapes up well.
