aaaccchhhoo.

He rushes to office, he silently prays "God... let there be a different status msg on gtalk today.. i'm getting bored with the 'weekend over' message"

He reaches office, keeps his fingers crossed and sets the alarm to 10.52 AM. That's when she normally logs in.

10.52.. nothing... 10.55... nothing... he fidgets.. 11.30 ... still staring.. this time she comes online..

New status msg.. but this time its "aaancchhhoo" .. he thinks.. trying hard to figure out what it is... does it mean she is allergic to something or she is sick.. hope not.. to quench his curiosity, all he can do is ask. She is still 1400 kms away.

"Im sick" she says.. "... today im at home.. will rest for the day"

He thinks.. fir bhi usne login kiya.. thats a good sign.... he thinks more.. smiles again.. thats what he normally does when she is on his screen.. smile.

He closes his eyes to think something sweet ... this one has to be good.. he thinks harder... He sleeps and slips away to a dream.. This time he can see her..

Pigtails, divided-by-two.. one on either side... with a red ribbon neatly tied in a bow. Red.. Nose, red with cold. Tucked under a pink-polka blanket.

She tells him "Can u scratch my throat? "

Stupefied. He has always been romanitically challenged. "from the outside?.. " he replies ... he thinks whadddaaa *%^ck.. you will be screwed for life.

Right then... s.AAA..AAA..AAA.. kkk KKK..SHIIIII... she sneezes...

He bursts out laughing... "You just sneezed you name !!" "Can u sneeze mine?" he asks.

She says " whadddaaa *%^ck.. you are screwed for life."

She just read his mind.
