We all have our own "What-the-hell-just-happened" moment. Mine, for instance,was an interesting one. One, worth sharing with the world.
FACEBOOK !! I'd describe it as a place where PEOPLE fall in love with people they haven't seen in their lives, and probably never will...not taking into consideration whether your "loved one" actually exists or not. :P
Well,even I had my little escapade into this world of fantasy. But first, let me tell you MY interpretation of that love. It happens when you start caring for someone to such an extent, that you forget the physical boundaries separating you from each other,(in my case, a 1,500km long one) and the fact that there is no possible hope of you guys meeting. Leave alone friendship !
How'd it happen? Well, one fine morning, as I logged in to that boring blue page, expecting some notifications ( you do that too okay ! ), I had a friend request instead. It wasn't something unusual, as I was a big fan of social gaming back then :P
So anyways, It was HERS ! No mutual friends, a slightly weird name, but that face ! A girl in a school uniform, just about my age(I was 15 back then) looking out the window.
Okay she WAS pretty ! :D
So the next thing I did was to check if its a fake account or not. So I looked through her albums, nothing out of the ordinary...just another pretty girl.
The next day, I had 9 notifications. GUESS WHAT ! She had liked all my profile pictures & everything that had my face on it ! So I decided to talk to her ! Through chat of course.We did talk...A LOT ! Everyday ! I found out she was from Pakistan. ( Al-Qaeda ??? ) She was an year younger to me & was really really polite % we shared everything( or so I believed).
So one day, I told her ! I TOLD HER THAT I LIKED HER ! She was really touched & happy about it but never really said that she did too. I guess it was because she had a more mature mind than mine so she she understood the prospects of life better than me. Nevertheless, our friendship grew deeper and deeper. But not for long...
It had been a month or so since I met...um...added her :P
She had posted some pics in a traditional dress and she seemed really REALLY beautiful. So I told her. Her reply was: "Thanks :') " ODD ?
Cutting to the chase,
The next day, my inbox had a new message, from her, which read:
Need I say more? My world was LITERALLY shattered ! I kept staring at my screen for another 10 minutes with my mouth wide open, on the verge of breaking down. And then I saw the world for what it was ! Nothing but a filthy, cruel place where no one had the right to dream ! I had this sick feeling, this realization...that we are not in control of our lives. That this "CIVILIzATION" is NOT civilized. Not civilized at all.

Cutting to the chase,
The next day, my inbox had a new message, from her, which read:
" Hi Mohit, thanks for being such a nice friend. Those pics were of my engagement and I'm getting married tomorrow...tc."She had already deactivated her account.

well, thats really really true!!! Many things like that DO happen in lives just the same as that!!!!! This generation is totally .. I guess I don't even have an appropriate adjective for that!
ReplyDeleteThe thing happen with you is really sad and I guess might have been difficult for you to cope up with, later on, right? =(
Yeah, It was hard...but you eventually get over it you know...I just feel bad for what happened with her..and all I can do is hope..that she's all right :(
