DJ tossed his mobile indicating his irritation

RJ: wat?…. she hung up?
DJ: yeah
hmm you 2 fighting an all.. nice
oh plzzz its not wat u think it is
really? then why don't u call her now
oh cmon RJ.. u knw her
not really
bollywood is all she talks abt
so?
I hate bollywood its stupid
I like bollywood
wat??
i mean i watch hindi movies all the time
you don't say
oh yeah i even went last Sunday to Love Aaj Kal
I cant believe this
hehehe y not?
i mean how can sum one like u can possibly watch movies like that
hehehe two things 1. not all Hindi movies are stupid ..i agree some of them are stupid 2. i am not too into technology like you..i know stuff and do projects and all ...but that's not my passion..
Ok i think i am fainting
hehehehe wat i am trying to say is i am not a geek like you..i knw you like tech stuff so i talk to u abt that..i go to hindi movies with my other friends who like Hindi movies
u knw wat..ppl say i am smart ..but i always feel like a dumbo when i talk to you
trust me..ur not… u just dont realize ur potential and i think thats the problem
i dont knw man..i seriously dunno..i am always stressed abt it
why dont u relax once in a while?
wat i am doing now?
hmm no… i mean u keep reading browsing blogging brainstorming i dont know wat exactly u do will all that info...but have u ever gone out and didn't talk abt technology or philosophy or anything serious?
hey i am not a loner or anything …even i have gone out with girls
really? Who that Shakespeare girl?
yeah…
and what did u guys do
we had lunch, we roamed around did some shopping... had ice cream.
hmm..but can u tell me wat did u guys talk abt???
hmm books mainly..Shakespeare....oh u must hear her points on objectivism..never seen a smart girl like that..we had a fight over etymology and she was describing abt the Victorian era of Engla.......wat???

RJ was slowly shaking his head as if saying NO

RJ: don't u get it ??
DJ: no wat?
Shakespeare? Victorian Era? seriously? u call that fun day out?
Hey there was Ice-cream too
aww very romantic.....
wats ur point??
there are simple things in this world other than books or technology
hey i see movies too i luv music u knw
oh i know..i heard you discussing the Matrix philosophy with that Shakespeare girl
wats wrong with that?
Nothing wrong.. Listen i am not blaming you or mocking her...i knw she is smart..you guys have intelligent discussions that’s all fine...but all i am trying to say is...loosen a bit… once in a while relax...
And how exactly to do that?
see if u go meet someone..u talk, u laugh eat and come back and once u comeback think what exactly u talked abt.....if u cant answer that question properly then it means u had a good relaxing time.Long and short of the story is - its not always about KT - knowledge transfer
I knw wat KT means
hehehee I am sure you do ….
hmm sounds interesting but what shud i do abt it?
tell you wat..i have a good idea
i am all ears
go out with DG
wat?
yeah for coffee or something..
but why?
wat why? why u always need a reason? isnt she a friend ?
yeah of course
isn't that good enough to meet someone
yeah but...
but wat? you think u will get bored?
no ..on the contrary i think she will get bored and probably stop talking to me
just go DJ.... for once...
hmm i am not sure....
listen if ur not really sure consider this as a social experiment
hmm that's interesting
we can keep my point as a alternate hypothesis and urs as null
now we are talking
yeah rite.....should i make a 7 slide ppt with Tahoma font just in case ?
heyy cmon...i am not that stupid
I sure hope so...
