Being forced by Y & I (yeah you can consider them as cartoon characters as well like C&H :D) I might come back for Miss Right as well. It is just that 'the days are just packed' :). Take care of yourself and the blog as well.

Right gift for best Miss - Sudeep
Being forced by Y & I (yeah you can consider them as cartoon characters as well like C&H :D) I might come back for Miss Right as well. It is just that 'the days are just packed' :). Take care of yourself and the blog as well.
All In One (by Keshi)
I love a guy with a great sense of humor - and that means a classy and an intelligent sense of humor. As you all know, I love to laugh and I am a complete funnygirl myself. 'LOL' btw is my fav net term (rolling eyes here). So yeah, I want a guy who can really make me laugh and one who can laugh with me.. So when I said Jitterbug humor, I meant the kind of humor that our own 'mardo wala' mate Jitendra possesses.
Now find me a guy with all of these 5 qualities in one ;-)

The Best Gift You've Ever Recieved (Yashita)
I read somewhere that God makes us meet many wrong people before we meet the right one so that when we do meet the right one, we can fully appreciate how special that person is.
There have been many ups and downs in my life. And during one of my lowest moments, when I didn't even have the so-called friends, it was Sneha who stood by me and helped me. All the way. There were times when I couldn't understand what I felt, wanted to feel or should feel. It was in those times when Sneha understood me and gave me strength to carry on. There are many things I cherish in my life, many people. But the one gift I will always hold next to my heart is the one because of which am here today, able to cherish other gifts.
We are lucky to have a choice. We have the choice to choose our friends. And our enemies. But in the end it's not the enemies who matter. But friends.
The best gift you've ever recieved (Mala)
Now on with the current topic: The best gift you’ve ever received.
This will be really short; for the best gift I have ever received is not a tangible thing. It’s a feeling I will continue to cherish for the rest of my life, and yet I can not reveal its nature on a public platform.
All I can say is that after having coped with the lowest ebb; after having been shattered and embarrassed and lost and hurt and angered…15 minutes on June 25, 2007 has changed my life forever. And I’m happier and more secure than ever.
A handful of people might know what I’m referring to. It's the reason I've been away :-)
Peace out!
P.S.
Sorry if most of you don’t approve of the cryptic nature of this post; but hey some things are better left unexplained ;-)
P.P.S.
For those of you who wish to top this gift, please think Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut chocolates ;-) Bigger, the better….hehehhee….yeah, you heard it right…No Lindt, no Godiva…it’s desi chocolate :-)

Between Friends - A request
Many of you are not aware of what happened or went on in the past few days. I am not here to give an explanation or understanding of it all. Some may be more aware than others because of your personal interactions beyond BUF.
It has a lot to do with me personally and I was wrong in letting it get to me to such an extent that it played out here in the blog. Sometimes I really seem to forget that BUF is beyond me. That is one my biggest weaknesses.
And I can’t sit and blame others for the total interruption that all this has got into the pace of the blog. I should have realized the fall out of my emotional outburst. Even to say that it came about in extreme conditions seems shallow when I sit and think of how much it took to get BUF this far.
In all earnestness and sincerity, I’d like to request everyone of you to simply focus on the topics that are running and the nominations for the Admin Team.
I’ve heard from many of you and it’s been overwhelming to say the least. Some have asked if I’d be back here. I never wanted to let go like this. Yes I wanted people to help me and take more responsibility here. Everyone has a sense of belonging but I wanted people to come forward and help manage … to get a sense of ownership.
I somehow find it really tough to come back after the way I reacted. Looking at me from another unbiased person's view -- I'd question my ability to manage BUF after this whole incident.
I find it even more difficult to let go because I practically lived, ate, slept BUF … it’s like my mind and heart pulling in different directions.
It’s after the anger and hurt subsides that we start to really see reason. I am still quite emotionally worked up I guess. Time will take care of that…
But now the focus has to be in keeping BUF going. It took a lot from many of us to get BUF where it is. It cannot come to even a pause…forget a ‘full stop’ just because I couldn’t control myself or others.
So please guys… just lets move on… that would be the only thing that could get me past all this too…
Thank you …

excuse me!
well please will all of you get over it? the main reason i joined BU"F" was beacuse of the way it was run,now i am sorry to say i don't like whats going on! i log on and see a fight like this!excuse me people,what i all this? I though you all were friends? and do you bite at each other like this? COOL DOWN!!!! i have a question,why all this suddenly? it was running smooth and all! and suddenly everything bursts up!
one of the main reasons why i joined was because of Ishi and the way she ran the thing.Now if she is leaving,so am I. I have noticed many things,like people putting my posts into drafts and publishing thiers and all.I thought it was for fun,but now i question its real intent.Well one thing if you people are planning to say anything to me,go ahead, i don't care! but i know one thing,the founding members should be feeling bad about this,the joy i saw in their posts,was lost when more and more people came.!!!!!

Thank you... - Ishita
Not for me...
For you - I don't want to take your names because it ruins the taste of my mouth.
I am breaking the one rule I sought to implement the other night when this whole thing blew up on my face. I am making this very personal.
If anyone has a right to be personal about BUF - it's me!
You all walked in and out of BUF today sensing there was a problem but u chose to ignore it.
God bless this blog...
and you all.
I didn't start this place to be trashed... Not just the ambience of BUF but me personally too.
I've heard enough today to last me a lifetime. I won't anymore.
Its very personal - yes - it doesn't get more personal than this!
Make your nominations in all earnestness and keep this place going.
I will be honest and very blunt. I don't see it surviving ...
You two did a brilliant job of making me realize I don't need to take shit (the second rule broken) and that's one thing I'll give you credit for.
Besides that you two can also have all the *explicit* words you hold so dear and true!
***********************************************
For all those who've seen better times, I hope you will see more here. I've met and befriended some wonderful people here. And I am hoping these relationships will sustain beyond BUF.
Don't sit and analyse my decisions. Why I chose to let some people get the better of me. Simply understand that I am human and I never made any claims to being an insensitive person.
I am very sensitive.
High time a very public blog like BUF had admins with better people skills.
It was truly FUN while it lasted... for me!
And for that I am thankful to you...
*****************************************
Please let me know who's been chosen to take care of admin. I will grant them admin access.
Till such time I guess every BUFer is responsible for the blog.
BUF Admin - Final Call
As you must have noticed, we have been looking for new BUF admins for quite a long time.
We believe it is time for change and would like to invite nominations as to who would want to take charge henceforth. Please visit this link (link to: http://www.betweenusfriends.com/feedback/index.php) to either nominate yourself or someone whom you think would be ideal to be the BUF admin. Admins can be chosen only from the existing set of members. As soon as we have enough feedback, we would be ready to make the switch.
We hope that you will be proactive in this regards.
Thanks,
BUF Team.
PS: This has to be finalised before the next update due on 4th August. Present Admin Team will be working till the 4th. New Admin Team needs to be briefed and ready to take up charge before that. Thanks.

I used to have such fantasies about my dream man..where will I meet him…and used to talk to my friends about him…he was so real for me…and..then..one day….
he was DRAGO!!!!…the Russian boxer (for benefit of all people..i was watching Rocky 4)
The incredible drago..the handsome Ivan drago…the tall drago….ohh…!!!! no one can imagine my ecstacy!!!
I dug up everything on Drago…and found out he is indeed my Mr. Right….
Actually his name is dolph lundgren, he is 6 feet 4' tall and he is a incredible actor besides being a graduate of the Royal Institute of Technology. He has a master's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney , and was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , but quit after to pursue acting.

So u see friends..no dream is too high..only thing is..u gotta believe in the power of your dreams!!!!
P.S. By now all of you must have got that I am in one of those completely hilarious funny crazy moods of mine!!!!!!
Mr Right(Puja)
ROMANCE
””Satisfaction”” a must. (Can be anything and everything). I prefer a guy who'll pamper me loads, gifts (accha chalo occasionally baba ...once in a while baba !!! uff ladke bhi na ek baar gift de kar phir kabhi nahi dete !!! plssss Bhagwanji accha mr Right dena mujhe) affectionate, a massage, (huh!!!! Kab mere sapne pure honge- Full body massage chahiye. Aur Mr right se hi chahiye ) he must be a good cook(Hopefully ok m I asking for too much). He must sing songs for me, he should dance with me. Must say I am very beautiful (even when I look like a devil). He must be very passionate and expressive. He must love me so much that i go crazy. He must know how to Kiss. Must have the urge to try out new things can be anything ;-) And when I am with him…. He dare not tell me about other girls looks and figure what ever nahi tho mardungi usko I am very jealous!!!
MATURITY
Ok men are like fine wine they definitely get better with age. They don’t play-play around nymore. They are more serious and straight forward. I'm NOT attracted to guys who are "a bit older" Ok. Just that he must be a mature+yet+a+fun+loving+person. A great sense of humour. Ok I know I know maturity time ke saath pata chaltha hai but still he has to matured. His maturity will even show when he talks, The way he EATS. (uff Few guys eat like OMG) I mean manners. He should be mature and must understand me. …Ok I will understand him too.
LIFESTYLE
Love doesn't come cheap, but it doesn't have to be shown in all the expensive ways. Ok to be frank he must be stable and secure financially. Of course, we all dream of living well, but it's a mistake to mix your expectations of love with your hopes for a first-class lifestyle. Don’t you guys agree.!!! I am not saying that when my Mr right will cross my path, I will recognize him with the size of his wallet. Not like that …but definitely he must be secured enough to take care of my basic needs. In short ….”Shortage na ho money ka” Bacchon ke liye bhi kuch sochna padtha hai na. And I love Kids so he must be ready for atleast 3 kids 2 mine and 1 adopted. (When I will marry I will make sure he signs a bond paper that I can adopt a babee…you never know Guys can change there mind anytime). Don’t ask me why do I want to adopt one kid. So he better be ready for this.
LOOKS AND APPEARANCE
I just hate men who are smelly and untidy. Accha aab tell me U may not judge a book entirely by its cover na, but you definitely like the cute ones. So like that, Cute, handsome who can really turn heads. He should be Rough from outside but soft from inside ok I am impressed by looks, and will definitely set my standards high when it comes to physical appearance. He must be a person beautiful from both inside and out. But now a days thr are very few guys who are really genuine. (Bhagwanji ne acche ladko ka production band kardiya) hehehehhehe
Ok I think I will stop here now. My list is a never ending one.
According to me (No offence here to anybody) there is NO Mr. Right (or Ms. Right). But who truly think that they have got there MR/MS right they are truly blessed!!!! But I am not so blessed so I think the person whom I meet will love him truly regardless if he forgets to buy you a rose, forgets my birthday, anniversary. What truly matter is he offers his heart completely to me. None can ever be more Mr. Right than that!
Take care Guys and Have a Happy Friday and a good weekend.
I've finally found someone......(Sam)
Marooned Mumbai .. ( uttara )
26th July 2005 was a nighmare for everyone.. here is my part of the story.. The day which ruined everything..
PS: click on the snaps to enlarge it.
********************************************************************
The heaviest rains ever recorded in India had shut down the country's financial and entertainment capital, Mumbai.
The day when more than 1000 people were dead only 400 odd nos accounted.. and soo many injured that's unaccounted.
I was in the office that time i was in Andheri Chakala, The shortest road from there is 6 odd kms from my place the longest route through the western express highway is 20 odd kms.
My friend calls me at 1ish . and says why don't you leave office as its raining heavily and places are getting flooded already i said " ya i will leave in a while, have to do something important." We were all clueless what was the exact scene outside the office. Mumbai gets flooded but not the way we experienced.
At 3 we all decide to leave i said i will go by rick cos i donno when i will reach if i go by bus. I left office waited for a Rick for almost half an hour. I couldn't see any vehicle. So i headed towards the highway with another colleague who was staying near to my place. We reached the highway i could see hugeee traffic jam.. i somehow managed to get out of that place and head towards my home ( taking the longest route).. If i would have taken the Saki naka route i would have drowned for sure as the water level had reached 6 ft. plus land slide.. ( I gotto know this later ). I reached the highway and i could see flood .. OMG 4 ft height. my waist length.. and am like wat to do? i told my colleague lets move on no point in waiting here... we cant go anywhere neither back to office as its locked and no one had the keys.( either of us). Mind you it was pouring heavily since 12:30 pm nonstop. We knew that no rick no bus will be of any help neither trains .. everything was stranded .. It was on halt except for people who were walking up .. towards the divider of the highway as the level of the road on the sides were lower than the divider side.. if it was flooded to abt 4ft from ground level, my waist then the sides wud be 6 ft .The force of the water so high it made our lives miserable in all ways.. one had to stride through the road to even walk, if anyone lifted their leg they would loose their balance. We walked all through the highway and at vakola luckily we had to cross the bridge, the water level below the bridge was 6-6.5 ft. I could see people sitting on the bridge waiting for the rains to stop Vakola is about 5 kms from andheri. It seemed like 10 kms by then. My legs started aching. i made up my mind that i will reach home somehow no matter what. There was no electricity, no network. I couldn't call anyone ( NO ONE) . I tried the whole world, but couldn't get thru a single soul. I had all the negativity in my head wanting to know if others were ok? etc, etc. Again walked in the same water level.. people were giving a helping hand to those who were loosing control due to the water current. Young guys protecting people and telling them to mind the man hole. But, I could still see people drowning into it.. But no one could do anything with that. *sigh *
Reached bandra at 8ish ... that's 9 kms from andheri (my office), i had lost it by then .. cos the water level increased to 4.5 ft and i had been walking without a drop of water and my throat was dry. I could have gone to my uncles place but the police guys dint allow anyone to enter that place as the current of the water was tooo high n people were drowning ( i could see it with my naked eyes)." मैडम तुम्ही कश झाणार तिक्ङे ? " ( ma'am how will you go there ?) I crossed that 4.5ft water level helped few girls as they were crying out frustration and they were scared. I spoke to them said hang on there till it stops raining or till the next day. Then i moved on. My legs were all soar and i couldn't keep a step ahead somehow talking with my colleague i reached sion. It was 10pm. I had to technically walk 4 kms or so to reach home . Means i had walked 15 kms which seemed like ages. hmm my phone started ringing i felt bliss... it was my mom. i broke down completely. i was in tears saying mom i cant walk a single step my leg hurts. She said "baby i know please somehow come home we all are waiting for u." i enquired about others they were all safe. I said : ma i really cant walk i will collapse" She is a strong lady, no doubt. said" stop crying and come home" b4 i spoke to her i spoke to my bro he couldn't hear me cry told mom she is cryinggg.. and u only talk to her. I gathered all the lost "will power" and walked. The last stretch was still pathetic, the worst infact, cos i was nearing home, my legs were not co-ordinating with my mind, my legs were swollen, the current of the water was HIGH, and could see people dying, I was frustrated. I was angry i was thirsty ( only way i used to have water is open my mouth n have the rain water). I was completely drenched, shivering as the rains didn't stop for a second. In midst of the whole thing i lost my colleague also so was all alone ( couldn't find him later at all ) .
I reached home at 1:00am. The worst day i have ever come across.
Many people died, animals, house ruined, trees uprooted, cars and vehicles drowned. I should say I'm lucky to be alive after that day. Anything would have happened . It was a risk i had taken.
People were stranded for 2 days also, lot of stories to hear from many about this day. I know a friend whose house was flooded and all the equipment and stuff were ruined . and many more stories . This day seems to be like yesterday for me.
I can't even talk about the aftermath of this.. For me i was bedridden for 4-5 days. With rashes all over my body and feeling miserable.
Mr Right! (Michelle)
1.I love being spoiled and pampered so he should be the type that loves spoiling and pampering me :P
2.Very creative.The little surprises and the things he says, should be very creative(even if they are cheesy lines, he should find a way to make them creative!)
3.I usually go for cute guys more than hot guys.You know, the dimpled cheek, shy types.They totally draw me.I dont know why, but it also could be because my hot guy friends have saw dust in their brains and are so full of themselves it takes more than hot girls to snap them back to reality.
4.The eyes.Thats the first thing I look at.If they catch my attention, I'm interested ;-)
5.Very possessive.I am super possessive so it would be quite a turn off if my guy did not mind me flirting with someone else.
6.Articulate.He should have a way with words.In fact, words can woo me more than anything else, so if he has a way with words, impressing me should not be difficult.
7.Adventurous.He should be willing to experiment with anything and everything.Be it places, food, music, languages...ANYTHING! Should be the type that gets a rush from doing things that aren't supposed to be done (a good guy with a hint of craziness)
8.Classy.Doing things lavishly is one thing, but not as attractive as class.A guy who knows how to do things differently and with class.So different that it leaves you stunned.
9.Our thoughts and opinions should match enough to click instantly but I would also like a bit of opposites attract into the mixture because having the same opinion on everything would be a little boring.
10.Last, but not least, he should love me unconditionally, even when I'm having a bad hair day or bad everything day and he should want to be with me all the time! :D
I've found my Mr Right, Good Luck with yours! ;D
10 things about Ms. Right (Wacko)
1) S**y-naughty-b****y-h****y-trendy combo pack for me. (wonder what this combo would be called as :P)
2) Should have the perfect blend of humor and sarcasm to the core.
3) Witty and Intelligent undoubtedly.
4) Attitude which can be carried well and which suits me. (Am not talking about other men here.)
5) Should be as possessive as I am (And I bet. am damn possessive :)). But this possessiveness shouldn’t be misunderstood by giving space or whatever. Space is something which everyone wants.
6) A freaking insane with a touch of geekiness but no nerdiness :)
7) Adventurous, sporty, a hard core music fan and a social animal.(dat is Willing to party every night :D)
8) A Professional approach towards work and have a rational and balanced approach towards life.
9) Shouldn’t have a problem with my inclination towards not-so-ethical values. :P
10) Healthy enough to handle moi :P. Not to 4get, should possess looks like Josie Maran (d NFS girl), rack like Gisele Bundchen (d Brazilian super model), and have a well renowned name like Condoleezza rice.
So, that I can live my life eternally without having to do anything or look for anybody. And all the pleasures at my disposal. Yeah dat’ll be all for my Ms. Right. If love and relationship’s r believed to be made in heaven, I’ll make sure I’ll get one for me like d one described above.
I guess you might think am too demanding or whatever. I know I am. But, practically speaking a girl who’d love me for what I really am and have the capacity to understand and tolerate me will totally suffice and undermine all the qualities mentioned above. Awww am sounding soo made-in-heaven type’s naa.
P.S. I know, just wanted to tell both of my extreme cases, considering the fact I know it is virtually (in real life also :P) impossible.
Cheers!!

Mr. Right - Perfect Lover - The One ;-) (Ishita)
Some are quick to point out that I don't qualify for this tag *ahem* :D but then we're talking "Mr. RIGHT" and so yes the Perfect Guy righttt ? :P Well then that's pretty much like asking for the impossible and such a guy can exist ... in our imagination and I guess live there forever :D
Having stated that :P .... lets move on to the tag and my ideas of who'd make my "Mr. Right" (and maybe this will get R back on BUF....to comment on this ofcourse)
"I've said often enough ….in the real world u write one thing & u live another!! So here goes nuthin!
1...My perfect lover has to be incredibly (and innovatively) ROMANTIC … umm not just in a veryyyy emotionally way…I’m hinting at PASSIONATE here okkk!
2...He has to luvv food…to eat…to cook!! Someone who wouldn’t mind experimenting with world cuisine coz I’m quite a foodie myself…
3...I like guys who are sure of themselves…they know what they want, how they want…when they want…BUT I like a guy BETTER when they can guess what’s on my mind?!;)…and take care of what I want, how I want…and when I want!! (And puhleez u single minded ppl there this applies to everything in life!)
4...My perfect lover shud luvv to shop / bargain…for me…! No no lemme rephrase that he shud luvv to take me shopping…I’m one confused shopper so I guess the thing I’m getting at here is a guy who is PATIENT…and CARING …and man enough to show it!
5...Hmmmm….he shud share in the housework! And in raising kids! :-) … A RESPONSIBLE guy!
6...I like a guy who can let me be who I am…a guy who can grow with me…coz I sincerely believe relationships keep evolving…ppl keep changing…nothing is constant and forever and u gotta make it work…click…all the time. There’s no place for complacency…and taking things for granted…I luvv my individual space and he shud value and trust me enough to give me my own space :) as I wld give him his…
7...Okkk…now this one is what I call my action – reaction point. I am someone who when in luvv is completely in luvvv! Sooo I expect the same…from my lover…luvv me…just me…and have eyes for NO ONE else!!! :D
8...I like a guy who can make me smile…a guy who can make good conversation…I like a guy even more when I can share my silence with him…So a cool sense of humor (*smile), intelligence (*conversation*) and understanding (*silence*) is what I look for… "
Okk now the original tag had 8 points and I covered whatever I expected in those 8 points...so nothing more to add...
Ps: Please don't ask me how many points R matches :P ;-) & I 'll be back to do the second topic too! :)
10 things about Ms. Right (Switchblade)
Now normally such a topic would get me recalling all the things I actually want in Ms. Right…but then again isn’t every dude looking for more-or-less the same kinda girl give or take a few preferences?
So apart from a plus points…ill also enlist some of the minus points on my rating scale…(yes I do have one…)...and all those who think I’m being chauvinistic by mentioning a rating scale…yeah right! Like you don’t have one!!
Ok here goes…its not really 10 points but who cares….
Apart from the fact that Ms. Right has to be a ‘she’….
Plus points…
1. She’s gotta be a good God-loving God-fearing Christian…She cant be Ms. Right for me if we can’t agree on the foundation of our lives.
2. We have to be on the same ‘wavelength’.
3. Ms. Right would have a zany sense of humor. I guess zany is the only word I can think of but its kinda like a combination of corny + goofy + sarcastic and a bit of the ‘ol ROFLMAO kinda humor too.
4. If she my Ms.Right then she’s gonna be a Ms. Foodie too.
5. Musical inclinations score brownie points. Minus 5 points if she likes Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys or any other cheesy American teen music act…. Metal-heads will be greeted with open arms.
6. She’s gotta love kids…
7. People say I have a weird sense of which girls are cute and which aren’t….she’s gotta be cute to me :)
Minus points…
1. If she cannot speak English fluently…
2. No one likes smelly people and I’m no exception.
3. Nag nag nag nag nag nag…
4. Replace ‘Nag’ from point 3 with ‘Yak’
5. She shouldn’t be too ‘girly’. I really cant stand girls who are too ‘girly’…everything is so cute and so sweet and so adorable….just kill me!!!
6. She’s gotta be neat and tidy…I mean at least one of us does so Id rather it be her :p
Then there are those things which don’t really matter like height, weight, color, hair length, nationality, race…. etc.
All girls are beautiful no matter what they look like and where they come from. It just takes a bigger man than me to notice the beauty in all of them...

A non-Virtual Relationship (Aakash, Sushmita & Richa)
Disclaimer- Being the originator of this theory, the writer deserves the right to use the labels according to his volition. Every adjective has been applied after much thought, and deliberation.
The Leftist: Shooting Star (long live the revolution, and of course the Tattoos!!! INQUILAB ZINDABAD and everything of that sort)
Last Weekend richa from Mumbai came over to Delhi….it was kind of a unplanned short visit.. richa told me about it only on Friday but we both were really keen on meeting up each other..and we thought we could have a small BUF meet…unfortunately ishita, rajiv and suchi couldn’t make it as they had some prior commitments (we missed your presence guys!!) … but two people from delhi.. aakash(vyom) & me(shooting star) met up richa from Mumbai on Sunday (15th July)
We (me and aakash) unanimously decided to take her to Blues (a nice pub in outer circle of connaught place with gothic meets 70’s décor and plays classic rock & pop)…. So we hopped over to the place talking nineteen to the dozen….. and once comfortably ensconced in our chosen corner…we ordered drinks and grubs(emphasizing each time to the waiter that he REALLY had to hurry as our lady from Mumbai had to leave in an hour)…aakash with his free flow of talks and thoughts was the constant source of our entertainment and laughter….. We talked on so many things..gosh!!! .... about safety of women in the two cities, Mumbai local trains, Delhi metro, music, fashion…and so many more…………and took lots of pics …
Soon it was time leave ..but we were really having a great time..so aakash suggested that we drop richa to the metro station (I mean right upto the platform..for those who are not familiar with Delhi Metro, even to get to the station platforms of the metro, one has to buy tickets),which was promptly seconded by me..so off we went…upon reaching the platform..we (me and aakash) decided that since we had already bought the tickets, we might as well take the train ride with richa ..so off we go…chatting up in the train.. once we reach the station..we decide lets drop richa to her aunt’s place (she was putting up at her mausi’s place)..and so we did…and then richa invited us into her aunt’s place.. we sit there chatting with her aunt (very nice friendly lady!!!!)…while richa is packing and now again the girl is so so tensed!!!! coz she has to pack….and eat and also talk with us..so anyways after some time it was time to say adios…me and richa hugged again!!!...and me & aakash push off… by this time it had started raining and weather was real lovely… so me and aakash come back to Conaught Place again….stroll along the Inner Circle & the central park, enjoying the rainy afternoon and then lounge in a nice tea bar for sometime ( we were really missing richa that time!!!)..and after some time realize it’s 5 o’clock in the evening!!!..so we move off..and aakash drops me off to my place(by the way he’s a real gentleman!!)…
That’s my account of the exquisite day…now over to Aakash…
[At this point we will skip the stupid aakash and move straight to the account from our mademoiselle Richa!]
The Rightist: Richa (the girl who apologises for every small fault, even if the strange guy in a strange yellow shirt and stranger dirty brown chappals steps on your feet, but if Richa is there with you, she will oh-so-sweetly say ‘sorry’) I have been asked not to touch a single word of her writeup, or else she will kill me. So for her wish, (apan ko jeene ki waise bhi nahin padi hai) we will have it her way, Verbatim.
my bit too!!
" Nervous, and yes, slightly weary. On 15th July, I, for the first time, met someone directly off the net. And it was an Experience, and beautiful one :o)
Delhi, Connaught place (is that how its spelt?), metro ... and then ... Sush n Aakash!
The best part was the instant comfort :o)
With sush, thr was instantaneous hit off! I mean ... that gurl simply rocks! If she calls me genunie, gosh.. u gotta meet her up once, she is like the most natural person, at ease with herself (except wen it comes to photographs ;o) )! I totally admire the gurl :o) and since i ve been really wanting to meet her after our looong orkut convo (remember sush? ). Righto sush... waitng to meet up with you agn!
hmm... now as for aakash ;o)
he's an apparently spontaneous guy, though i do believe a great thinker and thought over person (hmmm)
he's an awesome conversationalist... and what i totally loved was the way he gets you comfortable, the entertainer for all, he makes sure the convo interests you or bends around making you yourself :o) yep, he's a thorough gentleman (in some ways NOT!) and yes, im looking forward to understanding this man of so many words!
missed ishi, rajiv and suchi greatly that day... wish it coiuld hav been all of us...
anyway, next time ish? :o)
And sush and aakash… thanks for everything, everything :o)
Cant wait to meet up again!"
[See Richa, I didn’t change a thing, including the piggy face you love, even though I meant to censor most of the stuff you have so graciously written about me. ]
The Truist: Aakash (he he he! who else!!!), also known as Vyom (for Keshi’s sake)
It was 9:00am in the morning, when he realized that he had again forgotten his friend's (who is a colleague, and a neighbouring flat resident) birthday. But this forgetting and then remembering was not new to him, and neither to the others. While he was busy kicking his head on forgetting again, the others were snoring.
So followed a quick shower and a hurried visit to the baker who said he cant bake a cake before 11:30 (which was the time he was supposed to be at CP, meeting two of his friends). And thus some pastry was bought which was engineered into a Cake (engineering degree being put to use in engineered ways :p), and along with bottles of Godafather beer (he used to call the birthday boy Godfather) that was found with great difficulty; a raid on the birthday boy's flat was made. And all this while, when the beer was being poured in glasses and a cake was cut, our protagonist was under anxiety pangs of being late for a rendezvous he had been waiting for.
And thus after a frantic call telling Sush that he'll be late, he rushes forth to pick her, and then heads for CP where stands in wait the damsel from the city of dreams, the rightful Richa.
[and now I’ll switch to first person narrative]
We are 10 minutes behind schedule and Richa who is so suspicious (read scared) of saddi-Dilli (our delhi, and also Abhi-shake’s) is standing outside the McDonalds at the B-Block in CP (and yes Richa, you got the spelling right!) I spot her from the distance, Sush says, how do I know, and I just shrug my shoulders.
The women hug, while I stand ignored (and then they speak of gender bias and all). And notes on each others mascara/eyeliner shades are swapped, while the writer tries to ignore all that goes around him.
Richa breaks the ignominous news that she has less than 2 hours. So we head off to Blues.
A metro ride, a little walk, a homely home, some golgappas, a very sweet maasi (statutory warning, only Richa’s maasi), many ‘sorry’s’, strong rains, a drop to the staion in a car, a goodbye, another metro ride, another walk in the central park, tea and Ghalib at the Cha-Bar later. We decided to go back.
I dropped Sush and headed back to Gurgaon on the rainy evening. The day that started riding out alone and then doubling up with scintillating Sush, to be added on by the dazzling Richa, had reduced back to the lone confines of my car. Dire Straits sang ‘do the walk of life’ and I drove on into the twilight.
Was it Virtual? You tell me.

Not So Virtual (Michelle)
I never drew a line between someone I knew virtually or someone I knew in person because the only thing that separated the two was the physical form.
There are quite a few people whom I have confided in deeply, more than I have let out to my closest of friends.Some might say its easier to confess something when its not face to face, but I think it always comes down to how you click with a person.
I find it very weird when I term someone I know through blogs as a 'blog friend' or someone I have only chatted with as a 'chat friend'.We converse, share views and opinions but somewhere along the line, you do end up having feelings for the other person.You do feel for the person when he or she is sad and you do smile when he or she is happy.Sometime or the other, the person does affect you knowingly or unknowingly.
I truly appreciate many of my old friends Vipul, Loon Gal, Rohan, Keshi, Khayarti, Tanvi and Zoonie that have always looked out for me and showed great concern when I wasn't around(including sending me threatening mails demanding an explanation).I appreciate the level of comfort everyone has created over here that really makes you feel like home.
Even though I have only met one friend
in person, I do not feel the need to term anyone I haven't met till date as virtual.Your my friend, not a virtual friend, not a blog friend, but my friend.

Some Things Don't Change (by Keshi)
If we board a plane, do we become a different animal? When we are on the phone, are we any different from being off the phone? So when we are behind an ID and on the net, are we any different from who we really are? Do we stop being humans? Does our mind stop? Do the emotions take a different turn? Does the heart stop being the heart that it was before you sat in front of that PC? I don't think so. We are humans wherever we may be, whatever means we may be using to make new friends. Ofcourse people can put on an act on the net, but those who do that would be the same when they are not on the net as well...you know, putting on an act wherever they are.

Virtualgirl Part III (Uttara)
Rajiv
Rajiv bhaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ( एकदम filmy ishtyle - dharmendra ishtyle)..lol gosh इनकी तोह अंदाज़ ही कुछ अलग hai.. :D इनकी डांट खाने से मुझे दर लगता है i still remember the 1st day of our meet. We met in the train and i was completely hyper to find which compartment they were talking about..hehehe then the whole eve was wonderful the new year eve was awesome... just me ishi n rajiv .. i have neva had a quite new year eve .. we called keshi and spoke then Preet ( another blogger) met us for dinner ..later we head to mala's place.. क्या रात थी .. एकदम धमाकेदार...
Just b4 i left Mumbai for my Delhi trip ( a day before) i got a call " मैंने सुना आप दिल्ली आ रहे ho and where are u gonna put up? i said, "Ya i'm coming and gonna be put up in a hotel."॥ then एकदम कड़क आवाज़ में "मैं कुछ नहीं सुनना चाहता, tell ur folks you will be staying here at our place with ishi n rajiv also give them them all the nos and the address। If you even think of staying somewhere else फिर तोह देख लेना ..".. hehehhe I was left with no choice .. so said alright :). I had majour fun staying there .Ishi and Rajiv dint allow me to even feel home sick( not allowed था! ) Luckily my office was 5 blocks away from his so we used to travel saath saath main.. HMMMM woh din hai aur aaj ka din i miss it sooo much ... :) You should hear him talking ( guys he is not a phone person .. conversations करनी है तोह आमने सामने करो :P) he will talk for hours (if you have built that rapport and if he has a comfort level)... :) He is the last person to ask for favours, he will neva ask any favour for himself it will be for others ONLY so if he does it then the person is way toooo lucky .. hai na Ishi?
He is tooo good at singing .. ahem ahem..so mera time pass travel करते time में सोचो क्या था?:P He is way too caring and a lovely person .. When me and Ishi were going to Mussooorie i still rem his conversation with ishi's mama who was making all the arrangements for our stay in Mussoorie, he said..." मामा Ishi आपकी बेटी है और उसकी friend मेरी छोटी बेहेन जैसी तोह आप दोनो का पूरा ख़्याल रखना" I was sitting next to him in the car and giggling away to glory... gosh i am still laughing over it now:D... Then i know how i made him go tired when we went for shoe shopping.. lol he has loadsss of patience i must say :P.. Ishi dint come as she was doing the packing stuff back at home..
The best part is he will eat the tasty yummy food n say " Ishi यार तुमने बहोत खिला दिया, अब मेरा पेट दुःख रहा है " it used to be sooo funny we used to go laughing over it..
And now my mom is his fan she will ask me almost everyday how is Rajiv.. and she will immitate their conversation which they had when i was in Delhi .. heheh
Bhai now its ur turn to come to Mumbai :D *GRINS*
Thank you for everything.. गलती हो गयी तोह माफ़ कर देना .. ( I know u are hurt with few of my acts but ho sake तोह माफ़ करो .. pls understand :) ...) Very few people who m i have kept close to my heart u are one of them ..
thank u bhaiya :)
Suchismita
The most bubbly n chubbly :p.. lol... I was waiiting to meet her cos she has lots of energy level in her and she keep people alive with her charm and caring nature.. she is over caring and very possesive with people close to her.. and those who mess around.. don't ask me the consequence..:P
I had one of the most wonderful time with her here in mumbai and Delhi .. We went out for movies and went dancing sitting on the seat..lol ishi me and Suchi used to start shaking our body sitting on the seat on this particular song " Jhoom barabar jhoom barabar.. " heheh yes that song is our song.. At the end of the movie people sitting in front actually looked behind to see who are these 3 namoonas..heheh ad the other as well.. I hope Rajiv wasn't embarassed with it :D.. i missed being there for her party :( She is someone who will give life to her near n dear ones.. and will fight for them no matter what. She is very straight forward and beautiful person. She can go overboard when it comes to caring someone.
HUGGZ sweets long way to go :)
