Elicit Thoughts: Piece of my Life

Hey ET. Visiting you after so long... Been busy; in loving your creator; Ria. First loving her. And then fighting with her. And now we have parted ways for good. Still, she's still with me. In my mind. Always will be. Can't get her out of there even if I wanted to. We had our good days and bad days. And even though bad days grew on us and we had to split, I don't want to remember all those bad blood between us. Whenever I remember her, which is effectively 24x7, I remember only the good things. And miss her.

I still remember this very day, 3 years ago. It was past 6 PM and I was bored in office. So, was randomly browsing through blogger blogs. And I landed on you. You were a simple black colored blog back then. I read couple of poems and liked them. Saw that they were written by someone named Ria Shah. Ahh, I had liked that name instantly. Dropped a comment there. "You have a good flare for writing. Keep it up". And I moved on. And you know what? Within sometime, Ria pinged me from my blog. "Do I know you"? Apparently, she had thought me to be someone she knew. Some other Vicky. And when she came to know that I was someone else, she was kinda angry - "how can you drop a comment - kisi k bhi blog mei..!!!". Haha. She didn't knew k blogs are for that only; getting views and comments from unknown people. Readers at large. That helps us connect with like minded people. And sometimes, we find our soul-mates that way. I found her. My Ria. But hadn't know that yet.

We exchanged some orkut scraps that day. And I found out that she was talking about me with her friend on Orkut. Oh, wasn't I excited. I eavesdropped and read both sides of the conversation. She was miffed that most of my posts were copies and not original work. But then there was this scrap that "He's a nice guy". Very normal thing to say, indeed. But I liked that a lot. Was feeling very good. Still didn't know that that was the start of a long beautiful relation.

When I look back now at that evening, I just feel so lucky. This is the day Ria came into my life. 10th May. Even though we had our big fight last month and we are not talking to each other now; I don't regret she coming into my life. In fact, I cherish it. She made my life beautiful and gave me love. She's the 1st girl who loved me. Every single moment spent with her is like one lifetime for me.

Here's to the 3rd anniversary of two strangers colliding and starting a VicRia.

Noooooooo...... It's not me. I took a short break from blogging, but surely I'm not quitting blogging. But someone is considering it. Seems blogger is giving tough time to some people in North India. Ria is still unable to access blogger on her PC. So, here's one more post from her via ME.

Its 4 days now and I've no idea on what's happening on my blog, how it looks; I can't manage my posts and yes I certainly can't post anything. I can't comment and another problem is that I can't have a look at anyone else's blog !! :@ The only pathetic reason behind this is my blog INVINCIBLE in not loading on my PC!!! I can log in, but the moment I click on any of the blogs, it shows "the page cannot be displayed". :(

I desperately wanted to post something on Saturday but wow, I couldn't! Look at my predicament! But yes, all thanks to Bikram, he posted on my behalf with a "disclaimer"! :)

My biggest fear for the time being is, what if none of my blogs ever load on my PC, what will I do??? Will I've to quit blogging! The most horrid problem amidst all this is, all the other sites are loading, blogger too actually but not my blog and yes not other blogs either! I tried everything I could, but awfully failed. :k

All these problems have forced me to think, am I such a blog fanatic?? :o Its only 4 days now and not forty! How can I be so obsessed with blogging or any other damn thing on earth!

Not cool Ria!!! I'm really skeptical whether I'll ever get to blog or not! Let me keep my fingers crossed! Quite obviously I want to post this, that's the reason am writing it, and since I can't do the needful, I guess Bikram will do it! :$ I feel so bad to bother him, but I hardly have any other choice left. He can't always post on my behalf with a disclaimer every time, it's not done.

Apparently, I can't go to cyber every now and then just for the sake of blogging! I've decided, if this continues for few more days, I'll quit blogging. No option here! :x

Alright, a very big DISCLAIMER at the very beginning. This post is not written by me, but by Ria. Thank god blogger was not loading on her PC, so she pinged me on GTalk after a long LONG time, asking - "What do I do?". So, here I am, posting on behalf of her.

Normally, I am a jeans and a T- shirt girl, I want to feel comfortable 24/7. I am most obviously known for not wearing saris and stuff of that sort! I've seen women wearing saris and looking really gorgeous! But one thing I always thought was, how on earth do they carry it and how easily do they handle these jhamelas , :# don't they feel bulky!

So, to identify with this sari mania, I thought why not wear it! But in excitement I forgot that I don't even know how to drape it!!!!! :$ Poor…poor me! As we all know, RIA is RIA, I went ahead and draped it (we can always try) , guess what happened guys?? Yeah, you are right DISASTER. Well, it happens, so what if I failed, I can always take someone's help! I went to my sis in law , and was 'happily' prepared for another disaster, but I was shockingly pleased to see that it looked elegant; ok now, I looked pretty too. :) But one problem was, I felt bulky and weary within minutes.

Since I know now, that even I can wear sari and 'try' to carry it well, am all set to stun my friends and family! On Sunday is my cousin's wedding party, am all set to wear it and look gorgeous too!! ;) I'm very much smitten by my mom's saris, so have quietly picked one, without her knowledge (obviously I want to surprise her) and made all the preparations of wearing it! Can't wait now……
