finally, after umpteen false starts and innumerable mood swings, "Collected Short Stories..." returns, and will hopefully stick around for a while.
the story that shall be told today is one with which most girls(and quite a few guys...*evil grin*) can identify with. also it happened such a long time back, i'm surprised it hadn't featured in my blog till now. anyway, without further ado, let the storytelling begin.
Story 5 : The one with the offer of friendship
the story begins one lovely september evening in delhi. a slight breeze is blowing, the weather is pleasantly warm, just enough to keep you from feeling cold, but not oppressive. basically, its a beautiful autumn evening, golden leaves on the ground and everything. i am walking around with a friend, feeling quite happy and at peace with the world.
but of course, life isn't fair is it? just when u least expect it, fate throws something nasty at u.
a shady looking guy decides to approach us. we aren't too happy, for obvious reasons. i'm putting down the exact conversation, as well as i can remember it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
the characters in the following *ahem* drama, if i may call it, are
Me - pretty obvious who i'm talking about
A - the friend
CG - creepy guy
------------------------------------------------------------------------
CG(addressing me) - excuse me, can i have your number please?
Me(in shock) - uhh....umm...i don't think so.
CG(he seems to have not heard me) - excuse me, i asked u a question. can i have your number please?
Me(a little more firmly, though still highly worried) - i'm sorry, but i can't give u my phone number.
CG(pretending to not have heard me) - excuse me miss, can i have your number please?
A(deciding to take over, as i'm not being too assertive in my refusal) - didn't u hear her? she said no! also, she doesn't even know u! how can she just give her number to any random guy???
CG - oh i'm sorry. hi, my name is anmol. can i have your number please?
Me(barely able to supress my giggles, but still not feeling very happy about the whole situation) - uhh....umm....welll....*very softly* i have enough friends.
CG - only for decent friendship.
And that is when A and i realize that things are getting way out of hand and decide to beat a hasty retreat. we run as far away as possible, as fast as our legs can take us.
The End.

Hmmm ... it's always a better option to think up a phony number and shake the person off rather than run away like your feet just turned into rockets. He/she would be a bit less humiliated if the number actually turned out to be that of a "cheap desperate hotline" than he/she might have been on seeing his/her request for a number being answered with a hasty retreat. ;-)
hey! two things.. 1. I read your blogs! Your accusation is without any proof, i'm dissappointed. I may not comment sometimes, but i've read every single one, I have never read anyone else's completely, except yours.. coz I relate to your writing
2. Whoa! I mean ho ho ho! God! totally! that was really wierd!.. two possibilities, dare or the guy is really really direct. As for the matter of decent friendship, I guess even that is accepted with more backgroud details about a person, which should be less sketchy... way to go!
ho!!!!ho!!!!laughed wen u told me n laughin aftr readin ur blog!!!!!!hav ta sy u r a damn gud writer......i mean putting up sumthn so dumb on ur blog n managing 2 mk it sound sooooooo funny!!!!!!gud job!!!!!bt honestly i still feel u shud'nt hav run away like tht!!!!!aftr all he sounds 2 me one of those harmless loser kind of creatures jst lukin fr decent "frandsip" wid "butiphul garls"!!!!!;)
@ bored blogger - ahh yes, indecent friends. that would've been interesting.
@ count sahaj - i have no idea!! must say it makes life very interesting though. :-p
@ devvrat - orkut has a lot of very desperate young men. i'm pretty sure every girl has managed to invite quite a few highly interesting friendship requests.
@ sita - thank u for the glowing review! i will keep it for future reference, when i go to publishers with my book.
@ anonymous - the fact that u seem to know me and my friends quite well indicates that i'm suppossed to know who you are. but unfortunately i'm not too good at guessing games. why don't u shed the garb of anonymity? it's not like u gave a very rude comment. lol
@ sensations - thanks! and personally i think the best thing is to laugh things off. or better yet, put the story on your blog. ;-)
@ aditya - yeah i guess so. oh well, next time. hehe.
@ sujay - thanks a lot. and hey, these kind of guys give me something to write about in my blog. lol.
@ ayush - hmm well at that moment i was more worried about making a quick exit than about hurting the 'poor guy's' feelings. lol.
@ prannay - i am really sorry, i was only kidding! i'm so glad to have u as one of my readers. i promise to never complain again. u have full liberty to not comment.
@ anonymous - thanks! yet again, i guess i'm suppossed to know who you are, but i can't figure it out for the life of me. i'm really sorry, i suck at guessing games!
ok this is my first comment so i must mention that i am a huge fan of your collected short stories! they are amazing and addictive... now i saw this CG, and he seemed like a loser after all. i wonder what wud've happened had u accepted the 'offer of friendship' though! ;-) great blog, and please keep on adding to the stories!
Where thou be at.. long time no see. Update I say :P
LMAO!! Hilarious! The morons one keeps running up against, I swear. And the dude asked your friend for her number when he couldn't get yours... quite a let down, would've been so flattering if he'd only asked you :-D
But "decent friendship" - roflmao!!!
