miss R

this post is about miss R. i could always have named her but i want to be able to deny everything at a later date [:P]!! and anyways, those who know her would be able to identify her with reasonable accuracy even from the vague references that i would be providing.
why am i writing about her ? she isn't my best friend, though she's better than most [:P]. she isn't dead so that this could be an obit. nor is it her b'day or something like that. it's just that she's going away to US of A - the grand daddy of the the world. with her violent tendencies (with karate training and all that), i'm sure she'll flourish in that hellhole. i'm afraid she's gonna change (not just coz of the US education [;)]), so it makes sense to create this system restore point.

my first memory of her has her smiling her toothy grin - some incident in the first class of second year. and before that, i hadn't seen this girl even once in the first year. come to think of it, i didn't speak to her more than a few words in the second year too. for that matter, i don't think i have talked much to her during our entire friendship.

don't remember how but we started chatting on yahoo, sometime at the end of second year. while her slow typing speed, combined with her 'popularity' - which forced her to indulge in 'chat-window-management' - was always a bottleneck in this process, we hit it off fabulously. our chat archives reached megabyte proportions and i got signs of RSI.

and of course, i was 'linked' to her - with a certain 'BRIGHT' individual trying all he could to set us up. thankfully though, neither of us was interested [:D]!!

i could babble at length about how talented she is - fine arts, scholastic achievements, karate and all that. but i won't. coz none of this mattered even the smallest bit to me [:P]! she's someone i could talk (chat) with any time of the day on any random topic under the sun. and that was all that was important [:)]!

she's childish and childlike - can't explain how. i call her bewkoof coz that's what she appears to be most of the time but then, time and again, she'll come up with something which makes me wonder if it's the same girl. there's a peculiar cute gesture she makes with her hands when she talks - it's something like when a child tells you, 'mere ko kya pata' and turns her palms outwards at a slant. and when she combines this gesture with her stupid smile, you feel like giving her a dhaap on the head [:P]!!

she'd probably rank third on the list of people who know a bit about me. and though she's far far behind the top two, i think she has a fair idea - something that very few people have. [:)]

i could tell you how focused she was in classes - but you won't get the picture. you have to see it to know it [:P]! i got my kicks disturbing her [:D]!! she'd turn with a pathetic, pleading look and mouthing the words - padhne do naa !! [:P]!! i'd give her missed calls and she'd almost jump out of her chair as if woken up from a reverie and then give me dirty looks [:D]!!

hmmm.. what else - lemme see! has an elephantine gait - not your dainty gal our miss R is [:P]!! has an ugly mop of hair - which i desperately hope US does something about. goes by the nicknames of auntyji and motii - none of which i use, btw. fond of food [;)]!

adieu, miss R! in all probability, our paths won't cross again (i can see you making a face here). but it was fun knowing you!
