Question of the day, OK for me atleast, is, Am I a sentimental Ol' fool?1 of the babes called me out of the blue yesterday! I actually couldn't recognize who it was. C'mon, I wasn't being a snob. Its after a long time we were speaking and obviously I did not expect her to call me at 9:57 PM in the night on any day ever (Now before u think m sm freak of nature, cuz I'm a man who remembers time, I checked my received call list now, alright!). I was trying to comprehend who it was till she said her location. There was a moment of Silence, and then...
She told me her wedding was fixed and said "Today only we fixed the date & I'm calling all my close friends first & informing" .. In my head, I was like "Whaa.. wha did I just hear?.. whaa". I said "Awesome. Congrats & Oh so u consider me a close friend now?" & laughed. She smoothly "didn't hear it". Asked her a few questions about the guy, no not like an interview, OK something like it, OK I plead guilty, I asked for a CV style narration. I'm Indian, It just runs in my blood that way at this age okay! I was genuinely happy for her that She was getting married to someone she said she liked, arranged marriage though. But I knew she loved Bombay & longed to be there. This guy too was from Bombay. So was more happy for her.
Sigh, I know, I know. I was happy & it showed in my voice. After the call ended the first thing I did was add her on Orkut! This is where the sentimental ol' fool, part 2, comes in. I forgave everything in an instant & had her back on my list, friend list this time, not My Life's Women list. I still am not sure if I should have done that but its OK. Ahem. At my age, People don't really change, they mature. I went forward on that whim. I guess I'm a sucker for closure :( I'd like to believe forgiveness is a virtue to have anyway.
