Twists and Troubles of Texting!

Bzzzzt Bzzzzt Bzzzzt Bzzzzt! No, those are not coded slangs but the vibrations of my mobile phone.

It was around 2am, when my mobile started buzzing. It interrupted my fantastic dream wherein I was enjoying with a secret crush of mine. Damn! I cursed the sender as I checked the SMS notification. X-(

It was from a distant friend of mine. The text said: “ Kya kar rha be…So gya kya itne jaldi?” [What are you doing…You fell asleep so early?”] What on the earth could I possibly do at 2am of the night. Sleep like dead of course!

I chose not to reply. But he did not stop. He sent another text message ! It said: “Ladkiyo ke liye to barabar online rehta tu…Bas hum logo ke liye time nahi! :’( ‘’ [You can be online for girls but you don’t have time for us] He was now making me angry. What sort of prejudice was that?

In the morning I called him but this time he didn’t answer the call and later I came to know that he was not used to get up so early in the morning. [It was 9.30am when I called him]. In the evening we had a hell lot of argument but we couldn’t arrive at any conclusion and again ended up discussing about vital stats of our favorite models, actresses and adult stars!  ;-)

As I hung up the call, my mobile again buzzed with notifications.  There were some texts and whats app convos. I was wondering if so many people were remembering me all together. But sadly most of them turned out to be either general texts or marketing SMSes or the crap e-mails from job sites. I was getting frustrated by the moment. [I was waiting for someone else’s text message actually B-)]

Just give it a thought and think how complicated things can get due to texting!

1. You are studying hard and very honestly with intense concentration, [thanks to Dabur Chyawanprash]. Your Mom comes into your room for some reason and just then your mobile rings aloud due to some text or ping notifications.

You know what happens next, right?  ;-)

2. You are with your girlfriend [who is already nagging like always] and your mobile is in her hands and UNFORTUNATELY, the very same time some female friend of yours drops a text: “Heyy! Wassup!”

You’re screwed.  o_O

3.  You’re in the middle of something important, let’s say a movie. And your mobile keeps buzzing with texts from your old emotional pal who bombards you with:

“Miss you bro!”

“Teri yaad aa rhi hai” [I am missing you]

“Mere liye toh kisike paas time hi nahi hai” [No one has time for me]

"Bhool gaya kya mujhe?" [Forgot me or what?]

You can’t simply ignore them and have to sacrifice the sensuous kissing scene going on in front of you.

4. Then there are some people who simply can’t wait. They drop you a text and imagine that you don’t have anything else to do in this world except for to chat with them. You have to be prompt on replies ALWAYS, even if the network in the area is almost nil.

They simply take you for granted, every time they feel “Alone” or “Get bored” and God knows what else! X-(

5. In addition to that the above ones are the same people who say:

“I’m busy” 

“Text you later” or

“Baad me baat karte” [Will talk later]

when YOU try to START a conversation with them. Don’t you feel like a fool at times like these?

6. You are in the middle of a very serious topic [in most of the cases – affairs and infatuations which is termed as ‘LOVE’]. You type a very long paragraph, putting in all of your heavy vocabulary, grammatical might and brain wrenching thoughts and send it. It gets delivered but you receive a reply almost an hour or two later:

“Hmmm” or “K” or even better no reply at all.

And the next time you chat they automatically forget everything.

7. Then there are situations when you somehow find your crush online and she’s also responding properly BUT……

Your telecom operator decides to play the spoil sport by failing the deliveries or by zero network  or no balance notification.

8. And last but not the least; you are out of your SMS pack and your girlfriend doesn’t want to call [As her father is sitting beside her or she’s feeling tired and you can imagine all those excuses]. So you run in your shorts to your nearest vendor and say these words: “Uncle, Vodafone ka 36 wala sms pack dalna toh”

You leave all your other high priority tasks like gaming, or riding or completing the assignment and bear the grunt of the death of your girlfriend’s cat or someone else’s break up or their so tough life when they had to go their college by an auto. X-(

Gah! I don’t know if you will agree with me completely but every one of has been through situations like these at some point or the other. I’m not advocating that we should stop texting or chatting but we do need to realize the flaws it has so that we can keep everyone around us happy and get rid of constant nagging and drama that follows.

Cheers!
