In 3 Minutes (a sad story ---(not really yaar ;) )---)

This is the real incident happened to my friend. As part of data protection, I have changed the name of the characters involved.

Rahul and me are working for the same team and he sits in the adjacent cubicle. He is down to earth dude with a cool attitude. I always admired his ‘life-is-a-kick’ mentality and wanted to live like that… oh well … lets focus on the intended incident : )

Jus back from lunch, we wer chilling out in our desks… surfing arnd, chkng out personal mails and stuffs like that… rahul very surprisingly lookin thro our office monthly magazine in his desk and I was booking my e-tickets fr my trip to Chennai next week…

“Aravindh!!! U there at yr desk??”, I was puzzled with this shout from him..”Ofcourse I am… I was with u during the lunch and we are back to the desk together… wazzup any way???” I smelled smthng intrstng (mostly turns out to be silly) ..”Check out this chick… looks lavishing yaar” , he walkd in to my desk with that shiny magazine in his hand..... I can see the curiosity to fall in the trap (u know wat I meant here don ya??) on his tone…

“So.. what u gonna do??? Dream about her for ages and finally fall in love with some one else??”, I askd him unwillingly…. “U laugh …. My day will come…anyways..shez cool na… I love her da…”, some body kill me. He always tells this wenever he finds a new chick in his line…. I got habituated to this and keep ignoring this statement….

He got back to his desk and I was moving on wth my ticket booking headache…. He yelled again “Dude!!!! Come over….” Now I am a real angry man…. He always calls me out for all silly issues…. But this time he yelled in a stronger voice and so I thought shud b worth goin… I thought I can book this ticket later and closed the window…locked the system and popped in to his cubicle…. “wazzup man??” I asked him in an annoyed tone… “Hey look at this” I saw that he was a little happy wen he saying this…. It was my company’s employee directory.. he spotted her profile in that….”are u sure it is the same girl???” I was puzzled…. “Yeahh man.. chk it out the name is same …PREETHA NAIR… she is a contract employee in germany division…I guess she would have gone ther on assignment basis….” ….interstng….”Smart” …I deliverd the complement very promptly…

“Wait….lemme do this..” he was so anxious to kno more about her…..he opened the dangerous habbit that attacked the IT industry very recently .. http://www.orkut.com/.... He gotta fake account in that….he opend the search window and typed her name .. “Rahul, do you think she gonna use this crap in the middle of all her schedules????” even I was curious to kno the anser….”lets find it out na…heyyyy not in this first page da…. Lemme see the second one…. Oh yes…bingo…ther u go….look at that man….i got it..” he was overwhelmed…”How can u b so sure” …”Dei… look at that pic man….her face is printed crystal clear in my heart….how can I forget…see the magazine pic..both matches..” oh yes it is her…. Now I am curious too.. “Check her profile….” …..i ordered him… “oh yes…she is from the same place I am from (though her native is different)…hey I think smthng is wrkng out…. we work in same company (though she is in germany).. wat more u need to fall in love da….”

I felt a little restless….. I was wondering… this cant b happening…. "Ok keep scrolling……” i orderd again... "Oh S**t !!!!! wat the f**k …. Crap man…. I don believe this…..” he was screaming all on a sudden… I got my eye sharp and focused on the monitor…lol…”hahahaha” I …LMAO … wicked…… its all over …. I was anticipating a twist and now iam more relaxed…..after seeing this line in her profile…
