HABITS DO NOT CHANGE EASILY...(2)

New day ! new adventure ! new experience! Recently i have been into very different and changing environment. I am not talking about global warming and ice melting and blah blah. This change in evnironment is the change in circumstances. With lectures and exams finished few weeks ago I had been clinging to my computing habits. With plethora of computing habits, many a times one does not realise what habit they possess untill there is a change in it. One such computing habit was exposed to my concious mind was "reviewing of chat log"

In bigger picture, with advent of electricity, computer, internet and google chat (not to forget google "save chat" log facility), communications between family and friends has been to a completely different level. A great extent of communication is chat (text) based, hence providing a kind of written record. In times when i am not chatting , but thinking about the conversation had over the chat, chat log tends to be a very usefull in recalling the moment on chat and re-living the moments.
Last weekend been to a friends birthday party, had fun, clicked photos and enjoyed a lot. Photos were uploaded on Facebook today. Picture speaks a 1000 words, re-lived many of the moments, but abruptly remembered a conversation i was having during the party. Not very clearly embedded into my mind. Made a futile effort to go back in time and remember the conversation! For a split second had a thought to go back and read the chat, but only to realise, its not the chat world i was thinking of, it was a real world (without option of saved chat log or reversal of time).
Wish there was a something similar to chat log in real world for every moments we live.

"donot make ne international calls to me plzz" she pleaded
He had no sense of whats going on. Rather he should be happy that his one of the monthly expense which he has been incuring for past couple of months was to end. He can save that money towards his other daily expenses. It was second day he was spending without having lunch, he could have got himself a treat for the amount he used to spend. None of the thoughts took birth in his mind. Instead it went blank, not because she was leaving him, she was there only and was going to stay there. Things were going to remain the same , rather she offered up to make international call which would have been more costly.

The logic did not fit his mind and became a black hole. She kept on messaging him for next hour or so, but not a single reply from him. He was staring at the screen, reading every word she was typing, but just could not speak anything. She made her last requests to hear something and just feared if he has just gone away.

It was this fear of loosing each other empowering them every time they met online. Its the geographical distance between them which was the biggest barrier and also the reason for them to meet. Though distance was a trouble and had hardly met. Mostly met online , but both of them tried to understand each other and express themselves in best possible manner and they thought they did their best.

Before you conclude that they were in relationship, it was not the case. They were just best friends. Its the logic they understand and act upon. They argued, clarified on chats and made long international calls just to clarify again that they did not like each other.
