A Little Bit of Digital Era and Me

In our journey with the digital world, it gives us everything. Everything including some ridiculous things. And, this is one such experience of mine. Welcome to some of my clatters which became the silliest thing in the climax.

You’re on.

I was pouring my thoughts into words I type. The words, though they seem logical now, turns out into a colony of zeros and ones when I click ‘send’ button. Of course, I won’t see that transformation. But, I can’t help thinking that way. Now, it’s time to wait. Wait, until she sends me a reply for my mail. This is the most frustrating one. ‘To wait’, without knowing how long. But then, it’s worth to wait for the one you love. So I wait.

Ten hours pass, I turn on my data and open my mail-inbox. Nothing from her…yet. I was disappointed. I’ve to wait for some more time?! Fine. I send her another mail saying, “Just can’t wait to hear from you. Miss you lot.”

I check my mail, twice a day. I do this for a whole week. But, still, no reply. Why everyone has to do this to me? Why me?! Haven’t she came online for this whole week? Come on, I saw her face-book posts. Well, she posts almost every two hours. Yet, she hasn’t replied me. Does her Gmail account stopped working? Or she forgot her password? Oh, what am I thinking? I know it’s ridiculous. But, I can’t help it. It’s really tough to wait.

Five more days pass…no response yet. Now, the only possible and logical conclusion I can come to, is that, ‘she’s trying to avoid me’. I don’t know why. But, if that’s what she is trying to do, she already won. I don’t remember anything I did, which would make her avoid me. No, I really don’t know. Anyway, if she’s not replying my mail without any reason, I’m not going to push her. It’s over. Period.

Is it grudge? Or pride or selfishness? I don’t know what it is that I hold within me. But that unnamed feeling kept me from sending her another mail…for a whole long month. And, then she called me once…twice…thrice. I picked her fourth call more out of annoyance than curious. Why would she ignore my mail and now call me? Is she kidding me? Let me play this out, if she is.

“Hello”, she said.

“Yeah, who is it?”

 “Hey, it’s me. Don’t you dare tell me, you forgot my voice. I dare you.”

“Hmm…I remember it’s coming from the one ignores my mail. What’s that you called for anyway?”

“What do you mean by that? I called you because you forgot me for a while. A whole one and a half months. I waited thinking you would atleast mail. No, I was wrong. I called, ‘Coz you didn’t. And, you call me an ignorant? You’ve no idea how mad I’m.”

I’m confused. Doesn’t she see my mail?

“I sent you mails, which you don’t even acknowledge. Don’t tell me it went invisible.”

“What?! Just hold on, I’ll check my mail.”

Seconds ticks pass.

“Well”, she says. “It’s really gross. Your mails went into spam box. I deleted my account a few weeks back and created it a new. I didn’t change the spam filters. And…your mails went straight into it. Also, I never check them. Trust me, I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Come on. Is that it? I thought of holding a revenge on her. Now my rattles seems ridiculous. Really, it’s ridiculous. I can’t hold my laughter.

“Well. It’s ridiculous. I even thought of punching you straight in nose. But…” I laugh and she joins in with me.

“What did you send me?” she asks.

“See it yourself after un-spamming me.”

“Life sometimes sucks dude. And, this sometime is now, for me. It’s really irritating that you’re not here with me. Yes…it sucks too. Love you babe. I can’t wait to see you again. Atleast, hear from you. Love you lot.

-Sp-“, she read. “Why were you sounding so frustrated? What happened?”

“Hmm…I lost tracking of what I’ve been thinking…in planning how to revenge you.”

We started to laugh.

We hung up after talking some un-related things.

Digital world and I…can only become a tragic pair it seems.
