Meeting an Oxymoron!!!!!!




Epilogue

Do not save your loving speeches
For your friends till they are dead;
Do not write them on their tombstones,
Speak them rather now instead.
- Anna Cummins

Well, I should be short, though I have volumes to talk about this guy, who calls himself an Oxymoron. It started like any other internet friendship. I saw his orkut profile, read his blog and was impressed. I decided to say a hello to this chap ( His alias was Adithya then, which i borrowed later). As usual, i acted bit haughty to begin with, talking bit too formally than I am used to. I should confess that my intension was to impress this guy. We exchanged couple of scraps, but it never proceeded beyond that. One day, his hidden sobriquet, blog was unmasked by one of his friends and he was forced to delete it. He did inform me about his dilemma, I wished him all the best and promised him that I would still keep in touch with him over emails.

I was on a gay cruise of orkut profiles (only profiles ok :p) and found a familiar profile, familiar place, familiar dp, familiar quote. I knew it was HIM. My "Hello" and "Hii" was watched with a suspicion as he was in "Once bitten twice shy" kind of mood. I had to explain that i was his old "lost" friend. Then we chatted. Well, our first chat on the first day of my office. We chatted for hours, but unlike others we never even asked "where you are from?". He was the only solace for me when i was recovering from the loss of my mother. He never knew it then. Chatting went on uninterrupted for another three months. We chatted about almost everything under the sun. It was fun. Then it was onam season. I was stuck at my office in Chennai, feeling home sick. Oxymoron did send me wishes. Well, i was feeling alone at my office, curiousity struck. I just wanted to know who this guy really is. I could easily dig that out from one community by deductive reasoning (Sherlock Holmes). The moment i knew it was HIM, i was shivering, literally...I was sweating and heart was pounding. I never know how many times i said "Oh My god".All i was saying "This is surreal, WOW, This is impossible, Incredible, How come?? Him?? " I KNOW THIS GUY....It was a great thrill to find him out. Well, we knew each other through a common community (where we both act straight of course :p), there were threads in which we only responded. Now that i found him out, i had to tell him that. i said that during our next chat. He had a similar shock too, he was dumbstruck..He knew me too..That day we exchanged our numbers and we talked. We talked and talked till we both ran out of balance.

14 months later

It was Christmas eve. I was at home. We had decided to meet on that day. He rang me up on that day saying we will meet bit earlier than planned. I said thats fine. Well, I saw this young cute little guy waiting for me in front of church. We exchanged pleasantries and we talked. I was not in greatest mood to talk that day but still i could manage good conversation. People say i talk a lot, believe not in front of this guy. He hardly gives me a chance to talk. :p We had Chicken Biriyani in our favorite hotel. It was something great. Talked for sometime, departed to our own homes.

Well, this guy calls himself an OXYMORON (I never felt that way). He can impress anyone by his tongue. Few girls proposed him already. But he is ....well you know :p . Hope someone will straighten him up soon. Blogger, Editor, Photographer, you name it, he has been all. Wishing you all the very best for the new job, definitely i will miss your online WOW's. Hope you will impress some guys out there too and please do stay away from girls. They can easily fall for you. Best of luck my sweet friend.

The person whom i was mentioning is YADHU.
